Well, I've managed to waste another three days off, and I'll probably continue to call it "wasted" until I actually go down to the school to see about financial aid and classes. Don't know what is hindering me.

I will go on my next day off for sure.

We played a lot of Magic today. We've discovered that Two-Headed Giant format is actually pretty fun, and a much better multiplayer format than free for all or rotate. The interesting thing about Two-Headed Giant is that no matter how slow your strategy is for your deck, it seems that you can get it out eventually. At least once. There are bad decks for two-headed giant, however. Like how most of my artifact cards ignore the "target" word, so I can't really cast instants and sorceries on other guys. It doesn't really help that almost every card in that deck is a creature either.

I watched more Dennou Coil today before responding to Casey's call about Hawghead Comics. So I rode with Mason over to Hawghead and bought some commons that I wanted. I'm working on a Domain deck. Should be fun.

Wish I had tomorrow off. I'd go to the waterpark. I'm sure Mike would love to go with us. Maybe next week. I am off next Saturday.

I want Boom Blox: Bash Party. I swear, the boxart for that game is the worst. You can barely tell it's a sequel to Boom Blox, or that it's even a Boom Blox game.

Hey, that BASH PATY game looks pretty cool. Oh well, it is still awesome. Seriously. It is.

Animal Crossing: City Folk - My Opinion

I became a millionaire on Animal Crossing today. It's pretty nice having a fully squatted town that everyone actually plays on every day. In fact, I haven't seen it this way since 2002, when I first played the original. It's really fun to get a lot of inside jokes and nuances going between the players and the animals.

I actually think that all the reviews I read were somewhat unfair until I really think about it. And I guess that's a good thing, because all the reviewers should really be thinking about it. The problem I have with the reviews that I have read, however, has been that they look at it more from a "how much effort has Nintendo put into this" standpoint - as opposed to the final product. What we have now is the ultimate version of a very fun series. It is just an update, really, to the DS release, but it is the best version because of that. It has a lot of new items, including new complete sets of furniture. It has WiiConnect24 going for it, so sending letters to friends in other towns is awesome.

Oh well, I'm not trying to make a feature list or write a review here. Just state an opinion. Animal Crossing remains a fun concept, and a fun game. I'm glad we're all playing it. I will always buy the next "update".
