I reveiwed Cotton Reboot a few years ago.

I got two games for Christmas, but one of them I bought for myself.  I got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisioment from my family.  And I bought Pokemon Legends ZA for myself.  I only bought the Pokemon game then because I was at Costco and it was ten dollars cheaper than everywhere elee.

I'll get to those after I finish Metroid Prime 4.  Despite all the bad things people are saying about it, I'm still enjoying it.  Only big problem I have with it is that it doesn't feel like a game that should've taken 8 years to make.

I'll post my Game of the Year blog sometime later next week, so be on the lookout for that.  I can tell you that you'll see more of my continued enthusiasm for a game you got!

I was born in 1976, but I think I still was able to really enjoy the golden age of arcades as a kid.

You know, Nintendo and the internet keeps telling me that Game & Watch was super huge back than, but honestly, I didn't see a Game & Watch system until after the NES came out.  And even then, I only saw a few: Super Mario Bros., Zelda, a Mickey Mouse one, Mario Bros., and that's pretty much it.

My first video game was Pac-Man of course.  I was watching the news with my dad and saw on TV people building a big yellow box with lights.  I thought it was a soda machine.  Then a while later, my mom and I went to Kroger and I saw the exact same machine at the checkout. I asked my mom if I could go see it.  She said yes and when she was done checking out, she came over and gave me a quarter.  Turns out that machine I saw was a Pac-Man machine and I played it and I was amazed and talked about it all the way home.

I realy didn't have a home console until the 5200, but I did have an Apple II+ and that's where I did most of my gaming before the NES days.

I hope I get to review Taito Milestones 4.

I'm playing Metroid Prime 4 right now and I'm enjoying it even though it's not the best Metroid out there.  I didn't have much problem with the talkative NPCs.  My only big problem is that it doesn't feel like a game that should've taken 8 years to make.  But I'm still having fun with it.  But then, I also liked Wii Music and Pokemon Channel, so what do I know? :)

I never had the original Xbox.  Like San Andreas, the only Xbox console I ever had was the 360.  There just wasn't enouch exclusives for me to want one.  There were a few that I was curious about playing, like Blinx, a Spy vs. Spy game, some of Rare's stuff, but that's it.

I think I must've saw them in real life at conventions like PAX, they have a lot of sellers there.  

I've seen some cool headphones at Five and Below, but I never got one.  One cool thing I did see at Five and Below recently was a radio controlled Pac-Man and ghost, but I THINK I'm actually getting that for Christmas in real life!  

Just looked up that Funko Pop video game on Amazon and it's still 30 bucks.  Not bad, but like you, I'll wait until it gets lower.

I know I've seen Plants vs. Zombies plushes in the past, so I looked them up online.  Holy cow there's a bunch!  Pretty much every character has a plush.  Didn't realize it was THAT popular!

I bet your DS battery is expanding.  That happened to me, too.  But it died before anything bad happened.

I looked up some info on PS Move Heroes.  I think it's cool they have characters in it like Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper.  Too bad it doesn't have Loco Roco or Ape Escape.  I'd be more inclined to get a PS5 if Sony brought those game series back.

I loved the tank battles.  So much fun in multiplayer.  I'm glad I was able to get a four player tank match set up with my brother Jeff and my friends once.
