We
have all heard enticing and dubious things mentioned when Nintendo released
its first sneak peaks at the new controller. There are many things that
have been said; that it looks very phallic and could be mistaken for a
"pleasure device". All of that aside, I am incredibly hopefully
about some of the things that have been promised about the Revolution.
Three little words could made me more climaxily happy then that little
controller ever could... Secret of Mana. FULL backwards compatibility.
Even Wikipedia says so... so it must be true.
Great games like this, classics, will not be only be the property of flea
market scroungers who have managed to not have there SNES' cords not devoured
by there dog *bitter* but the average gamer who is up for reliving the
old days, for a moderate download fee I’m sure. As you can see above
some people have there doubts that Nintendo will once again pull through.
Blurry eyed, I still hold out hope for the future.
Peripherals used to be the coveted, always asked for, never received
thing for me. The Glove, the track pad, the super sniper – every
Christmas another sweater under the tree; every Birthday another pair
of tight denim jeans to go in the bottom of a drawer. So it dawns on me
only slowly to hear of the excitement found in a pair of electric bongos
or a steering wheel with attached foot pedal (that’s been around
for years…) and the reason it hits so slowly, like downloading for
WoW on patch day, is because of the disappointment so keenly etched in
the fibre of my being having only had two controllers for the majority
of my staid gaming existence. Two controllers with short cords, two buttons
and 3 brothers – I hated you Nintendo when you released the N64
with its four controller complement, multiple buttons and alternative
color schemes. I hated you like my being forced to eat oatmeal. In that
there was so much hate that I broke down and cried. Yes, I cried, like
a little girl who’d lost her dolly. It broke the bounds of hate
and slipped the crimson veil into vehemence.
I hated because I dreamed of a childhood in which such a device could
have uplifted my 2 button beleaguered spirit and where fights did not
erupt from brothers hogging controllers. And then I dreamed of playing
in the Olympics, running on those red and blue circles – sprinting,
hurdling, long jumping. Life would have been good. No, not just good,
Golden. So go on, revolve into something even grander than N64. Spurn
my forsaken adolescence with its two buttons and my youth with the “paddle.”
Create something of such infinitesimal beauty that I don’t just
break down and cry – I actually break.
Just some things that will be happening.
I'm changing my Update Schedule to Tuesdays and Fridays. It just makes
more logical sense to have the days more spread out. I will not miss updating,
don't worry. I'm working on some stuff for the webpage, cause I'm been
told that it would only be a more emo design wise if I had a sound bit
of someone crying and animated flash rain. Soooo.. I'm trying to change
the colours, again bare with any changes that happen over the next week.
I get to teach my self MORE HTML. Fun.
Comic wise: my Style changes next
week. I have been working on it for a while. The characters still look
the same, just NOT SO CRAPPY. Yeah. I like the style much more and it
will be that way from that point on. I hope you all appreciate the change,
and will no longer bleed from the eyes when you come view the site.
