It was insane. I didn't think I could manage to cram 7 of my best friends into my house, but we did. Phil and Nathan decided to bring their TVs over so we could have 3x the gamecube action...360 degrees of Nintendo love. Where to begin... how about the beginning? I'll try to make this story as coherent to you readers as possible, but keep in mind that my thoughts are adrift in a sea of caffeine and games. Everybody shows up around 5 yesterday, with all sorts of things to keep us occupied. I myself dove straight into Metroid Prime, easily the reason to own a cube. Anyways, We chatted and primed and Animal Crossed for a few hours until the pizzas were done and the Bawls were broken out. 36 freakin bottles to be exact. Bawls is funny, the caffeine doesn't make me hyper, just eliminates my ability to sleep at all :). So we traded some AC items, got some KK songs, and were just generally goofing around...until we found the pimp jackets.

After rummaging though every single signifigant and non-signifigant item in my room, Ryan T and Phil went exploring into my brother's room, where my mom had her big fur coats stored. It was around 2 am and there they were just laying there... perfect pimping material! My friends all got decked out as pimps and I snapped a few dozen pictures... I'll upload them for you later when I get the chance. Straight outta compton yo. I think the whole thing stemmed from Ryan's NPA (national pimp association) MLB t-shirt parody mindset.

So yeah, the whole night was a blast and i'm fearing the internal crash i'll be having when this caffeine wears off. I'll be back lata with pics, it's time to beat Ryan H in the porrasturvat man-pushing game! bwah ha ha ha

Just one more agonizing day of school before saturday arrives. Less than 48 hours before the 2nd annual Cube Party, and might I add, it's going to freaking rock. Pretty much all of my friends who are gamers will be there; Ryan H, Ryan T, Nathan, Nate, Phil, and David H. Last year when I threw a little suarez in celebration of me being the only person with my greedy hands on a cube, we plowed through at least 48 cans of soda...an eery pyramid of caffeine to behold. I've kicked it up a notch this year with 36 freakin bottles of Bawls Guarana, more folks, and of course more games. If you feel particularly compelled to join in the madness, I don't mind as long as you quietly slip through the front door without my parents noticing too many extra people in the house...

With the annual winter game push upon us, I'm surfacing for a brief second to digress my happiness before going back down for more fun. There's so much to look forward to on gamecube this winter; Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, A Link to the Past, Rayman 3, Yoshi's Island, and several others which I mentioned in my response to the N-Philes Rountable. I finally got the chance to play some Metroid yesterday when I went over to Ryan's for a few hours after school. The word massive comes to mind. Each level is enormous, yet still amazingly detailed down to every single unique square inch. I never played the other Metroids, but from what I can gather they fostered a sense of exploration. I must say that Retro Studios pulled this off beautifully. I was constantly refferrring to my map..exploring unventured level parts trying to fit together the pieces of the story together. Not to mention kicking some serious alien butt. One thing which impressed me a great deal were the rewarding boss battles, of which I had about 3 of. Joy like no other is felt when having bug guts splattered on your visor. A heat wave is visible from your cannon after rapidly firing. Reflection, shadows, and lighting are all incredibly realistic. When you run past a busted steam pipe, condensation gathers on your visor temporarily. This game is amazing, owning a gamecube without Metroid prime simply doesn't make any sense. If you listen to my advice about games at all for this year, BUY METROID. Of course, next year's advice will be to buy Zelda....

So yeah, saturday will rock. Shovel some dirt with coffee cans, go to an eagle ceremony, then sit back and sip on some Bawls and get my game on. Rock.

It's hard to believe it, but an entire year has passed from that cold November morning when I waited outside with my father to grab one of those 11 precious marvels. Nintendo has had a full year now to prove their little cubed wonder to the world, and I can honestly say it has been a success. Success is relative of course, but......ahh, I'm seriously tired i'll finish what I want to say later. seriously.

So I was recently over at Ryan T's house for a night of pure gaming bliss when he offered me a taste of the very nectar of the Gods themselves. Seriously folks, I don't know where my Bawls has been all my life but we have some catching up to do. 80mg of caffeine in each 10oz. bottle. WHOOO. One case of Bawls under the tree would make James an incredibly happy fellow. Speaking of Christmas, I've formulated a pretty awesome Christmas list:

Case o' Bawls (24 bottles)
Nomad Jukebox C mp3 player
Metroid Prime for Gamecube
Gameboy Advance
Yoshi's island, Metroid Fusion, or Zelda: A Link to the Past for GBA
Years subscription to Electronics Gaming Monthly
Pink Floyd the wall on CD and/or the DVD
frames for 3 awesome posters in my room (escher, yoshi's island, philmont)
REI Snow Peak Titanium SPORK!
Princeton Tec Pulsar Keychain LED light

That's some of the bigger things on there at the moment.... Of course there are clothing and other items which i'm asking relatives for that simply don't need to be on that list. Not to mention my parents are usually pretty good at surprising us with kick ass presents (read: SSBM and LM on top of a NICE 20" flat screen TV last year). Wow, everything seems like a blur this late when you've been working all day. The Mountain Dew is flowing, but not fast enough I suppose. Maybe it was the non-stop weekend which took place this......uh, past weekend. I didn't spend a single night without friends, w00t! The gamecube suarez is on schedule for next saturday, If any of you decide to show up I don't care as long as you bring a case of Dew and wipe yer shoes at the door before knocking.

Ok i'll finish rambling tommorow I'm getting kicked off the PC. lates!
