Whenever I'd get grief from family about playing my DS, I'd point out that I don't smoke, do any other sort of "recreational" drugs, and rarely drink. Then I'd tell them that everyone needs a vice. It shut up 99% of them.
Never been all that into motorcycles myself. Two wheels equals disaster with me without an engine, I can just imagine all the ways I could really hurt myself with one. That said, love playing Road Rash.
Another good book about motorcycles is Pilgrimage on a Steel Ride by Gary Paulsen.
When I was at my previous park posting, I had a lot of anxiety issues going on due issues with my boss. I would come home after having had several anxiety attacks during the course of the day and play Flower. Between the visuals and the music and the gameplay style, I'd calm down enough to relax and even sleep, as my anxiety was also causing sleep issues.
I have one of those aftermarket multi-consoles. Plays NES, SNES, and Genesis carts. So far, it's played all the NES carts I've tried, but I have a very small NES collection. I missed on out the early Nintendo consoles, so this was the easiest way for me to play the games. If I run into a game that won't work with the FC3plus, there's a store nearby that usually has old consoles for sale. He's very reputable, so I'm not worried that I'll get one that doesn't work.
Been following this on Facebook. Nice to see it all in one place. Now if you want to come up here, my place could use some interior decorating, and Court, Coopa and I wouldn't even be in your way, lol.
Both the game and the cartoon were done by Terry Jones, so I have hopes that it will be at least amusing. Ah, the SGC! It's kind of scary, but I still have a bunch of those games on the original carts, lol. One of the best compilations out there, in my opinion. A little something for everyone. And it looks like I'm going to have to email GH and let him know that he's missed.
Cary, that sounds really cool. There used to be a hot air balloon festival near the town where I was born, but I have no idea if they still have it. We only went once, but I remember liking it.
That is one serious scar! Glad things worked out better than you'd hoped. Now just make up a really good story to go with that scar, lol.
I'm back, amazing how much easier it is having six people to run the park instead of only two. Plus, we got all the hard stuff done, so I no longer fall asleep in my dinner plate after work.
I introduced my nephew to the Sega Genesis collection a few years back, and his comment was: "old games are hard!" I will probably end up going retro this summer, as my little cottage heats up like an oven and a previous tenant lost or destroyed the screens to all of the windows in the front.
In a way, that's too bad. I post a lot of my pics there.
