I'll try to word this so I'm not trying to bash him or pin all the delays on him, but man, I've started sending the gmk to other friends (not for them to do work) just because they can mess around with it and come up with some neat stuff so I have something new to do.
Cocopuffs has done a great job putting up with my flipp-flopping and the results speak for themself, but there just hasn't been any significant developments since decemberish.
So writing updates is getting a bit tough.
So what's new...
I've been playing Street Fighter II Turbo and New Challengers on my Wii, because I can kick my brothers ass in third strike, but I've never really been that great at SFII.. well I did get really into SFII during highschool, but I never vsed him till a few months after it broke.
So I've been mastering (I don't know the official coined term) "back spin hurricane kick", it only works in turbo, which if I recall correctly is my brother's preferred version.
It works best if you knock your opponent down, then as they're getting up jump over them and hit them with a hard-kick pretty much at the point when you're directly above them, then once that animation finishes and just before you land, start up a hurricane kick.
It traps them in the middle between the front leg and the back leg and they get hit about 3 times as much as normal. The most effective maneuver/exploit in the game if you ask me.
So hopefully when I see him in America this year, I'll beat him.
I also downloaded Star Fox 64, really is a great game, and it still holds up very very very well, I'm currently up to the dog fight with Star Wolf and his team, and I think I took one of the hard routes because it's god damn impossible.
Scientology.
Scientology really is a dangerous evil in the making, they're already pretty despicable, but they could easily become so much worse in the years to come.
Which is why I'm so happy that anonymous has declared war against their organization.
If you haven't heard or been following it, they've been constantly attacking/hacking their sites, stealing their private documents and handing out copies in public.
All of this does take potential millions from scientology, and I think it's great.
What can I say, scientology truly is a common evil, and is the type of shit that movies get made about.
And that's why I watched V for Vendetta again the other night, such a great movie, probably the only comic book based movie I like, and perhaps that's because I never knew of the comic before the movie.
I also watched the Asterix and Obelix movie, which was.. alright, fortunately I was in the mood for a cheesy/familyish/comedy and it delivered on everything i wanted.
I tried watching the Dennis the Menace Christmas movie, but I got up to the point where he said something like "Don't worry guys, I'll win.. with a little help from Santa Claus" and then I turned it off.
My friends came to work the other night when I was closing and we came back to my house and played video games all night, well I tried to sleep most of the night because I had to open the store the next morning.
Of course, I never got to sleep and just bought some caffeine pills on the way to work (they don't do shit)
When I got home, I went to bed at about 6pm, and then I was woken up at 9pm with them back in my room again, but they were wearing their school uniforms from highschool.
So I'm like "what the hell?" and they told me to put on my uniform because everyone was having like a high school reunion, I said "fuck that, even if I was wide awake I wouldn't want to go." I really just got sick of everyone who wasn't my friend in the last year.
Although they did tell me the next day that the biggest bitch in my class is like clinically obese and pregnant with twins apparently, which cheered me up, as evil as it sounds, it's comforting to know how quickly her life has been ruined.
And just in case you're thinking "god damn, she can't've been that bad" one time she punched me in the side of the head because the TV's volume was "too loud"
Oh, Scribe's brother got fired.
Yeah, he's disappeared with several games, and yeah.
Darren came in the other day and asked if Puck still wanted the job, I said yes, and he took his application (and no one elses)
Puck came in a few days later and I asked him if he'd heard from Darren yet, but nope, not yet.
I told him that Darren grabbed his application and asked if he still wanted the job, so hopefully he'll be starting soon.
Well, that's about all for now, I guess I'll go back to annoying Cocopuffs.
BYAAH!
How was the Dennis The Menace movie compared to the game? ;P
Asterix and Obelix, hmmm.... (Asterisk and Obelisk)?
"kick my brother's ass" really means "I win slightly more rounds than him of third strike, but I can never win one round of SFII, so it's all relative" :)

I've completed Star Fox 64 so many times,I know it pretty much of by heart. (Its just getting those god damn medals thats the hard part...).
Seriously its a great game, and if Nintendo actually made a sequal that expands, not change, its gameplay formulae, then the sequal could be epic too.
I love street fighter 2 and 3, but street fighter alpha 2 and 3 beats them hands down...
Looking forward to street fighter 4 (this year is the year of the fighters: Soul Calibur 4, Street Fighter 4, AND Super Smash Bros Brawl... WOO!!)

I've beaten SF64 to death. You don't fight Wolf on the hardest route until right before Andross. You're probably on the easy route.
And yes, Atomic, we know.
Trust me: Unless you know you're on the hard route, you're not on the hard route.
And yeah. When you get to Venom via the hardest route, you get skip most of the on-rails stuff and just fight against a superpowered version of the Star Wolf team.
