Not an owner of a Go, but I'd like to point out that it's renewed my interest in the PSP like a motherfucker.  I look at the offerings of the Media Go store and my heart aches for the cash in my wallet, which would be siphoned away by the likes of PixelJunk Monsters and Persona if I had any.

but all the games are $39.99 an 300MB or better.

Holy shit.  Did you even confirm this?  Most games on the store hover around the $20-30 range, and it's easy to find games that cost far less (or are lighter on your bandwidth load) than the average.

Contributing to the "hey, there are actually amazing exclusives on this" bandwagon:  Metal Gear Ac!d 2, Gurumin, Jeanne D'Arc, Patapon 2, Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?.

Work Time Fun is awesome fuck you

Hell yeah!  HIGH-FIVE!  (holds hand up high, is left hanging)

If anyone thinks they'll be looking for a berserker on the 360 version, I'll be game :D

Strategy for getting past cops:

1) run up to cop
2) slide, crotchkick
3) punch in helmeted face
4) repeat as necessary until cop lies motionless on the ground, lamenting his continued existence.

It takes a bit of practice (and it helps when there's a barrier between the cop and his comrades to keep them from shooting at you), but intersperse this strategy with the occasional slow-mo gun-grab and you'll be able to take down small squads with style and finesse.

(1060/1250 achievement points on my profile; first in line for the sequel, over here)

1) Game Maker.  I would have enough time to learn it, and eventually construct vast, intricate works of social commentary the aliens will hopefully discover when they find my corpse.  (joke's on me -- the time will come and they'll find a half-finished recreation of final fantasy 6)

2) Rumble Roses XX or Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.  I can't choose now because it would be like deciding which of your children to kill, but each of these games have enormous levels of replay value through achievements.  I can easily see it taking 300 hours to pick up all of them in DoAX2; a comrade of mine has put that much time into RRXX and still hasn't gotten them all.  Additionally, with dynamic breast physics in both games, no two rounds are exactly the same!

3) Rock Band 2 for endless playability from a simple interface.  Downloadable songs provide the ideal extension to an already near-flawless social fantasy, which I would desperately need while holed up in my house, waiting for death to come.  Luckily, I've already had the foresight to get all the DLC in the case of such a scenario.  (not *exactly* true)

4) Simcity 4, where I would create enormous, sprawling, self-sustaining societies that interconnect with each other.  This is important; in a Quiet Earth-style scenario I can easily see the dependence of the populaces of Duckburg, St. Canard, and Anaheim on my well-being as something to give me a reason to survive.

5) Persona 4 because I haven't played it yet, though Giant Bomb's LP of it is proving to be incredibly entertaining; I can easily see plowing through it numerous times in the post-apocalypse and trying different scenarios each time.  (hey, maybe I can take Kanji on the cable-car ride on the Gold Saucer if I try hard enough)

Hey now, what's all this then?!

Also switched to Lobst in the effort of nickname consolidation.

A Sonic Racing game?  Well that can't possibly suck!

SEGA actually has a good track record for racing games past the Saturn.  Metropolis Street Racer was wonderful, Outrun 2/2006/Online Arcade are amazing, and I'm playing through Sega Rally Revo on-and-off and totally enjoying it the whole way through.  This is apparently by the Outrun crew, so chances are it'll be impressively colorful and fun to play.

Starting a rumor right here, right now:  Ferrari 360 Spider is an unlockable character!  Tell your friends :D

A new, popular format for making semi-public announcements only to those interested, without the expectation or inherent pressure to become embarrassingly long-winded in the process?  Yes, please!

This was utterly brilliant -- but I wasn't capable of completing it because gems don't persist when you hit them out of blocks.

This led to a situation where I'd start world 7 with five gems remaining -- the three in blocks above the two cloud platforms, and the two in blocks underneath breakable bricks.  I'd go all the way up to everse level 1 to bonk the requisite blocks, then go back and forth across the stage to get to level 6 and shatter the bricks to collect my prize, but I'd invariably end up dying around level 4 on the way back down (multiple times because I still wasn't prepared for the screaming hands).  Following this, I'd respawn at the midlevel checkpoint at level 4 with the gems having been sucked back into the requisite blocks, having to start the whole tedious process all over again.  After an hour of this, I gave up and YouTubed the rest.

_{...well, I guess technically it's because I blow at platforming, but still...}

Anyway, aside from that I thought it was awesome.  When my finances even out over the next couple of weeks, consider a copy of Zeta's World totally sold.

I discovered Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic today.

I'm unqualified to pass judgment on the comic, aside from on the fact that it apparently thinks a cleaned-up pencil sketch qualifies as a finished daily update!  If it was inked, I'd read it.  :\

Anyway, the reason for this post is a Project Wonderful ad on the main page.
