getting in those last precious hours of gaming

i'm shipping out to san francisco, for those of you who don't know where i'm going this weekend.

it's 2008 macworld convention time there, and i've got to get in on the action;).

but i'm still left with one question:

how am i always the last one to find out how cool some things are?

i mean honestly. i played and beat mario galaxy before some people even got their copy, but i just started playing metroid prime: corruption this weekend, and man, is it ever fun!

kind of a gritty story that reminds me so much of halo 3 starship troopers. great implement of the shooting with lock on targetting, even if the enemies take way too many shots to down. i mean, they've made samus' arm cannon feel pretty damn weak.

but the platforming is solid, and navigating as the ball (sorry, forgot the proper name) form is wicked fun too, with neat puzzles.

but how is it that i'm the only reviewer that played mario galaxy before metroid prime 3?

anyhow...

i'm also desperately in love with my new tv now.

oh, you've not been introduced...

here she is (via futureshop's site):

The LG 32LC7D is designed to fit your life and your space. It features LG's exclusive XD Engine, high-definition resolution, fast response time and high contrast ratio which mean no blur or trails, even in fast action sequences like sports. It also causes spontaneous ejaculation!* So bring the big game to a new level of play and everything you watch to a new level of quality with this 32-inch Widescreen LCD HDTV.

It complements my stereo, fits the room, makes movies look good and hd games look even better. I mean, i couldn't have picked/bought a better gift for myself for christmas.

not to say my other gifts weren't rad, but i've been waiting for this one for a while!

seeing the world in HIGH DEFINITION!
