"hey mgdvejhporlckbhdqsms" is a subject line awaiting me in my inbox.

I might not be bothered so much if it seemed like they actually put some effort into this stuff. This isn't even trying.

Anyway, big thanks to shinkuu for the package, a most unexpected surprise, and quite a blast. And I hope to put the book to good use sooner or later. Or maybe both. :)

Red thinks she knows what was wrong with the package, I think she said it wasn't marked as a gift... I think. Memory's a little fuzzy there.

Aw man, no way! Well, I guess that's possible, but I'm usually really careful about marking it as a gift... But I guess when I went from the regular international form to the express form, I might have forgotten since I already checked one "gift" checkbox for the day. I'm sorry!

Wish I could've gotten you some more recent stuff! I was trying to get Wii Play but it was sold out the first week it came out...

Heh, it's cool. Excite Truck's a blast (I hate Fiji, though, too many f'n trees. A "free driving" mode would have been nice, too), and I'm glad we don't have to worry about seeking out Hotel Dusk now...

Btw, you got Sonic, right? What'd you think?

You think Fiji's bad? If I recall correctly, Canada was the worst stage for trees! Or was it Scotland? Scotland's a rough country... I liked Fiji since it seemed easy for me to rack up the points, somehow.

I'm really liking Sonic so far! At first I was thinking this'd just be a cakewalk of a game ("What do you do? Move left, move right, and jump!"), but it's certainly not without its challenge. I got stuck at this one mission (I think it's optional though, since two missions opened at once) where you had to get through the stage without breaking any pots, and the slightest brush will destroy one.

After spending nearly an hour trying to get through, I made it to the end without breaking one, but found my path was blocked by a magic wall and I wasn't sure if I had to solve some puzzle or if I didn't have the right abilities to get past it yet.

I forgot to mention, but my friend recently picked up Wii Play, and we got to try it out for a bit. That game was better than I expected! Minigames are fine by me, but I've been feeling under a bit of minigame overload lately, so I wasn't too excited about Wii Play... But all the games look like fun! The Duck Hunt-style game, the "Pose Mii" game, the laser hockey game (kind of like Pong 2000), the billiards game... It only seems to be two-player, though.

Dunno, Fiji took me the longest to really get a good rank with. Canada was my first try. Mexico, I made a killing.

And I LOVE getting the POW icon. One of the best invincibility sequences ever.

Pity on the 2P, but I guess I'm lacking Minigames, outside of Mario Party 7, which I've finally put down for a bit.

I hear the tank battle one is really good...

Sounds like you had the exact opposite experience I did! Except that, yeah, Mexico's a breeze. But oh, China! One time I actually managed to land on the Great Wall! I think that may not have been intended as a viable path, though, since it seemed like the only way down was to crash and respawn.

And yes, gotta love the POW!

I didn't get to stay long enough to witness the tank game... But yeah, Wii Play is sounding better all the time! Still no easier to find a copy, though... My friend got the last one in a 20-mile radius. The guy in line in front of him? Second-to-last copy.

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Heh, wow. Some guys have all the luck, eh?

I'm gradually getting better, hope they do another game. I can think of a few things to add...

Seriously, this guy has the devil's luck. He was also the second-to-last guy to get a Wii on the morning of Black Friday... though I like to attribute that victory to myself, since I suggested he wait in line an hour earlier than he originally planned! And it paid off.

Also, back when the PS3 was still scarce, he was able to just walk into a Best Buy and buy one. I think the only system he didn't have to be lucky to get ahold of was the 360, since he waited until summer for that one...


Yeah, Excite Truck was definitely one of my early faves. For one, I'd like to see more countries! It's nice they have so many tracks, but a lot of them look the same. And of course, four-player might've been nice... But I guess those are obvious things. What were you thinking of?
