So it’s the day after Thanksgiving and I actually ventured out to Best Buy this morning. Not at 6am, mind you, but at 9:30. Suffice it to say, I won’t try that again in the future. I was drawn there by the allure of a 160 GB 7200 RPM hard drive with 8MB cache for 29.99 (after rebates). Now, that’s a pretty good deal, and I think the hard drvie I use for Windows and MP3’s and My Documents stuff is about to go. The other week I caught it making scraping noises, which is never a good thing to hear from a hard drive. Somehow I knew deep inside that they would be completely sold out of the hard drives at that deal by the time I got there (and they were probably sold out at like 6:30). But I made the mistake of going anyway. Had I stayed, I would have been in line for no less than an hour, probably more like two hours. The moral of the story is don’t go shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
In other news, yesterday was Thanksgiving which is one of the best holidays because there’s so much food that’s so good. I think I ate some of everything last night except the squash cassarole (sp?). Then of course was the traditional thanksgiving football game with my brothers, dad, uncles, and cousins. All in all a really fun day.
What else do I have to mention from the last week... I’m in the middle of Metroid Prime 2, about eleven hours into it as of right now. The whole light world/dark world thing is really cool, very A Link To The Past. But apparently one of the same guys was involved in the conceptual phase of both games. I’m not sure if the game is shorter than the last one of if there are just a lot more items to collect, because it seems like I’m collecting them faster than in the last game. And it seems like some important ones are coming pretty quickly. Like the light and dark beam, and the dark suit, come fairly early in the game. The maps don’t seem as big in this game, but there are a lot of really big rooms compared to the first game. And I guess since there’s a dark version of almost every room the maps are actually pretty big.
Well I think I’m gonna go play the game now that I’ve talked about it for a while. This is my first post from a computer other than my own, so I get to see how well my scripts work. If something screws up, it’ll be Sunday before I can fix it.
