My first exposure to Metroid was Metroid Prime; prior to that, I knew EGM had ranked Super as its best game of all time, but I remembered it as that game I always saw at Blockbuster, and thought was another JRPG cause of the dragon, thusly staying away, despite that awesome box art making me really curious.

Anyway, having now played Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid 2 in some fashion, as well as beating both Zero Mission, Fusion, and Prime, and getting pretty far in Prime 2 through multiple rentals, I can honestly say Fusion and Prime 1 are my favorite Metroids.

Other M actually looked good minus the story, and what I played at a friend's seemed promising, so I don't blame you for liking it; the story on the other hand I have seen on Youtube (retsupurae video; think Rifftrax, but videogames), and ... yeeeah, no.

As for Zero Suit Samus, contextually, that ending was awesome.

I need a set-up like that; I studied radio/tv in college, but studying radio/tv in college left me without the funds not to use an internal laptop mic and Soundcloud. lol

I'm glad I never sold my Gamecube, but I think 36$ is reasonable for one at this point.

I actually don't know what happened with the South Park game, but I'll look it up lol.

I really wish The Last Guardian had come out, it looked amazing, but I don't have a console to play it on anyway, so oh well. 

It's sad when it never actually hits, but they have to promote their game to at least try and get some market buzz for it, even if they know they're having financial or other issues that could shut them down. It just sucks for everyone involved.

I would use Blockbuster if there was still one near my house, but it closed when they filed for bankruptcy, or soon after, anyway. Used to go there all the time.

I don't want to use Gamefly, just cause I don't want to add monthly costs.

As for Red Box, I don't have new enough systems to benefit from that for games, but I walk to the ones outside Walgreens and 7-11 nearby and rent movies all the time, especially since they're both on my daily walking route.

I'm not looking forward to when this inevitably happens to Clinger; I've already had to leave the room a couple times when it's been brought up.

Anyway, sorry for your loss, Ben.

I used Wikipedia to remember my collection as well, but somehow missed that I had Sonic Colors for DS; I'm also not sure I believe that Pokemon Pinball is the only GBC game I own, but it's the only one I saw that I remember, and I have no clue where my GBC is ... or if the handheld itself was a rental, cause Blockbuster was still doing that at the time, but I'm pretty sure I owned Pinball so ... ???

I left some things in the fridge. Mostly it's meat, you may want to check on that.

that .. really is perfect. lol

I've always wanted to try Cooking Mama, look forward to any review you have for it.

Good to have you, one of my best friends in college was on the track team, and he actually gave my friends and I some good pointers on a more efficient way to run one day; a lot of it, I'd heard playing football in middle school, but I hadn't been applying it since, so it was cool to learn.

I don't like sports and strategy too much either, but ... I also don't tend to like FPS and RPG. lol Like you, I'll play them, but they're not my favorite, I'm mostly a platformer/action/adventure/ guy; I also enjoy racing and fighting games.

I'm not too competitive, playing single-player usually, but you gotta love when you give someone the beatdown in Smash Bros., and that's part of why I like N64 and Gamecube a lot as well. Again, good to see more from 1up here, look forward to your blogs.
