Hey guys, it’s been tough to write. Is my life uninspiring? YES!! Doing your last semester is about the hardest thing ever. Interviewing for jobs also sucks. ANGSSSST.
There were no good games for a long while, but now that games are coming out, I have no money. Same complaint as ever. (i bought snazzy clothes to get a job with, because the real world is all superficial like that.) I’m still relishing Okami, though I only get a few hours a week to it. I’ve been playing Contact at work and when I should be studying at school. Contact has me hooked, except I just ran through the military base with a full stomach and 1 HP and found a bed to save in because my battery was dying. I’m going to start from there and promptly die unless I can find a bathtub.
Death is no big deal though. Not to the professor, anyway. It doesn’t affect my stats, does it? I can’t figure out the stats anyway, except that they get better whilst I fight.
Game Club dudes, I’m afraid that Contact will be our last game ever. No one’s showing up for the GC, and I don’t blame you after it being inactive for most of the summer. It was a lovely experiment, and I really enjoyed doing it. It’s just too hard to organize and keep up for me, since I forget about things very easily. It started out during a time when I did have the mental space to do it right, but as soon as things took off, my job got the best of me. I really wanted to do more with it, but I lacked the time. It was really cool of everyone to go along with my idea though, so thanks guys. Go play Contact, I think it’s the most interesting modern game we’ve done. If you can’t, then play Earthbound and sort of imagine what it would be like if it were also part Lost in Blue and part Shining Soul (II, since that’s the only one I played).
Contact discussion is going on now, and the site will stay up and active until it abates!
I’m going to a Halloween party at my local Japanese-themed geekery parlour tonight. It will be fun, oh yes. ^^







Your right about the Gameclub, it does feel like it dragging along with not real purpose anymore. I also need to spend time finding a new (easy) job.
I’m playing more Phoenix Wright than Contact anyways.
RIP Gameclub ( I think it been around a year since it started).

I think we should keep it up to write posts on the games when we feel like it. It works pretty well as a very exclusive forum.
I really haven’t had much time at all for the games with school going on and lots of personal life crap. What time I have had has been spent playing World of Warcraft.
Believe it or not, I’ve been considering a 360. I’m not really sure why. I don’t really have money for a new system at all though. Even the “cheap” Wii.

Senior year of college is tough! I have an interview with a small private school to teach a technology course on Friday! I’m pretty excited and nervous about it.
And yes, fall is awesome because of all the new game releases, yet its always bittersweet as I havnt much money since I cant work as much during the school semester. Can’t wait till I have a real job and can afford more new releases, in moderation of course. Right now I’m saving every penny up for that Wii.

A 360? Are you mad? Well, Dead Rising is awesome, I hear. And XBLA has some good things going for it, like Lumines For People Who Didn’t Want to Buy a PSP to Play It. I think that with the system threatening to hit its stride next year, it would be a good purchase.
Good luck, Shep!
I don’t know what I’m going to be like when I graduate. For years, I’ve thrived on this erraticaly scheduled nonsense with its last-minute homework rushes and late-night Denny’s breakfasts. It’s going to be odd.
I dunno about leaving the GC site up just for us. It’s one more thing to check, and our little blog network can serve the same purpose. Except without Kammo. T.T
I could suggest also that we get on the Game on Pause forum. It’s a bunch of the old NDSart.net people. The discussion can get downright retarded when certain things are mentioned (grr…), but it’s pretty decent.

Good find for that Game on Pause site. I’ve registered at gameswelike and am going to start doing Band Bros music again :). I think the main reason I’ve stopped this whole time was a lack of community to share it all with. Hopefully this will now change.

I joined the forums too.
Mass Effect on the 360 looks awesome BTW.

Actually, GOP found me. =)
They seem to be down right now though. Weird.
