I visited Kinnon today this evening, and we played a few games (Pikmin 2 and Mario Golf, which is actually tons of fun considering the sport :P), watched a few hours of great shows (Futurama and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex).
I ran into Richard from work on the way home. I'm starting to get my Dad's "Can't go anywhere without running into someone" syndrome. :P
I still haven't finished Pikmin 2 yet! The tricky part is getting 100 Purple Pikmin. Holding on to those guys is difficult.
I don't get it. I was with Kinnon today and he mentioned that Resident Evil 4 is going to be released on the PS2. 3 years ago, Capcom and Nintendo had agreed to continue the RE series as a GameCube Exclusive, and even re-released the older games on the GC (including an awesome graphic remake of the first game). Admittedly, the report notes that they released an online RE game on the PS2 (Resident Evil: Outbreak) a little while ago, which was the beginning of the deal falling apart, I guess. What's up with Nintendo and their deals? They sell off Rare, makers of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Conker's Bad Fur Day, break off their deal with Silicon Knights (they haven't updated their website for the past 6 months...), and now Capcom is releasing RE4 on the PS2 (albeit about a year later, and I understand why they'd release it on the PS2 - it has the largest installed fanbase, and there was consumer demand for it...). I'm worried about Nintendo's reputation and staying power when they seem to lose all their exclusives... (What's next, Shigeru Miyamoto or Koji Kondo defecting to Micro$oft, Sony or *shudder* Nokia?)
In fishie news, it appears that I'm losing one of my Red-Eye tetras as he looks thin and isn't eating. And I still have that Blue Fancy Guppy, even through the Yellow Guppies keep following him around. I may have to get more Guppies to change the colour balance in the tank. But I wanted to post that I have a snail in the tank! :D I figure he came in with the plants, as snails typically leave their eggs on plants. He's a fast little bugger, too! (I should probably take the plants out of their "cages", but I don't want to risk disrupting their root system.)
And I'm up really late, so I'm getting some rest. G'nite!
