Quick Thoughts Going Into March

February is over. How did it pass so fast? All the promises I made, how many were fulfilled? How many were left on the drawing board? There are so many but even more apologies. Getting hung up on those won't help. For those, I'll find a way to make things up to you. But as for now,

The future of gaming is in the hands of the community. A lot of creativity and untapped potential is floating around in the masses. There is too much opportunity and someone needs to take advantage of it.

Sakura's alternate outfit for SFIV not bad. I need a lot more outfits though. One per character is crap.

The tag line for the DSi is "What will you and i do?" Seriously? I've talked myself out of a DSi but I'm sure as soon as I see one and hold it in my hands my opinions will start to change.

What is the point of time limits in fighting games? I understand in the case of arcades where you want to matches to move quickly so you can get other games played and money made. But is there really any reason other than that?

I went to see a counselor this week about going back to school. She asked me about why I left school last time. I told her I started doing a video game show and website. So she looked at me seriously and asked, "Do you have a problem with addiction?" I replied to what? Drugs? It turned out she meant video games.

I've always been kind of against advertising. I know that's how the world works, but I think it's a very questionable line to walk and there have been all sorts of problems when it comes to websites and how they advertising. Whether or not the reviews get special treatment because of advertising agreements and such. How would you get around this?


We'll see you in March,
David

eh, i DREADED those school counselor meetings all the way from middle school through college. All I wanted to do is schedule my classes and they would go all school psychologist on me...I never actually had a truly helpful one in all my school years.

Going back to school? Neat. I guess that would mean less time on the feed, though, and I'll be sad about that.

Still, good for you, man.

Also, you and your Japanese girls...

Heeeey, going back to school, David? Best of luck with all that (especially the counselor business, they can be rough). Take up some Japanese! I'll help. :3

That is the first video you have posted that has actually scared me. I leaned away from my computer, I was waiting for an exorcist face to pop up or something. And she does not look Japanese. <<; But damn if her pronunciation isn't awesome.
