Pokemon Platinum in March, fuck yeah!  Another chance to throw away 90+ hours of my time!  ::3: :hurr:

But that's okay, because it's enjoyable to smear Lyrai's mans all over the place engage in mighty fighting.
Pretty sure I am the champion of Pokémon ass-kicking 'round these parts (but only because of R^2's refusal to use non-theme).  Guess I should pick up Platinum to defend my title and also because Bullet Punch Scizor Fuck Yeah.

THAT BOARD THING NO GAMER CARES ABOUT UPDATE

The more I dick with it the clearer it becomes that the training exercises are 100% intended to be throwaway.  I say this because the the thing itself works entirely independent of the pack-in disc - it installs to a channel (in my case, nestled comfortably next to Megaman 9) from which you have free access to the Brain Age Check Body Test and your assorted exaggerated stats ("You lost three pounds today!  That means in four days you will lose 12 pounds!  I AM A FITNESS EXPERT!").  If you want to do the training exercises, then you have to insert the Game CD.  Because despite the serious business they try to sell it as, doing exercises with the Wii Fit board is really nothing but a game.  Well, more like two games - it's split exactly across the middle between Wii Sports 3 and The Yoga Instructor of the Dead*.

When Wii Sports was unceremoniously packed in with the spare Wiimote, it was never assumed that the Wiimote was specifically and only for playing that collection of cheap minigames.  It kind of bugs me that Wii Fit is branded as such, because the balance board is honestly sort of a neat thing with lots of potential for gaming that will probably never be used as such because

A) Nintendo has way too much ADD nowadays to actually support their new gadgets, and
B) Third-party developers are starting to shove away the Wii and its tricks, having grown understandably tired of the torrential vomit of new gimmicks that make their software So Last Month the moment it's rushed out the gates.

Which is a damn shame, because - strained knees aside - there's potential there to do some truly unique stuff, especially in conjunction with the Wiimotechuck.  I'm crossing my fingers that they've got enough coffee in Kyoto to keep those guys focused on the board long enough to realize that, hey, it's about time we had another sequel to Punch-Out!.


* So-called not just because the Yoga Instructor looks Dead, but I swear they took some of the dialog animations from early Sega arcade games.  You know, the kind where people always wave their hands and bob their heads instead of moving their lips.

They are actually making a sequel to punch-out!, last I knew at least. Not sure if it actually uses the board or any other gimmicky peripheral.

I wish my clock would reset.  It's really more sad than anything.  And not sad because I played that long, but sad 'cause it no longer keeps count :T

I skipped coffee this morning.

I at least stand by the statement that the balance board is going to go unsupported due to mismarketing and general third-party frustration.

Kazz, Max, and I had an EPIC BATTLE OF CARCASSONNE.  Well, I don't know about epic, but the city that Kazz and Max almost completed was kind of epic.  I sure dicked them with that road.  Had they completed it, I would have lost painfully to Kazz.  And even then, I didn't notice the sneaky farm Kazz had in the east.

That list kind of brings up the other problem, which is that the Wii Fit minigames have already covered all the obvious ground.  You've already got your SkiFree (sans Yeti), your M(ii)onkey Ball and your Phony Hawk.  Though I'm glad to see that I wasn't wrong in my assumption that we were going to see some sort of Dead or Alive XTreme Beach Stretching and Bending or something along those lines.

And that's not even scratching the surface of some of the more perverse possibilities of the thing.  YOU'VE GOT GREAT RHYTHM!

Wh-what?!  I checked my email this evening and found that the event listed on Facebook for the upcoming Shaymin event had been canceled.  Finding this very weird, I went to serebii and found no new news.  Then at bulbapedia, I found that pokemon.com, facebook, and Toys-R-Us have all deleted any information pertaining to an upcoming event in February.  WHAT THE FUCK POKEMON? WHY DO YOU HATE ME EVERY DAY?

It's a restraining order, Duke. You're a Stalker. Pokemon #650. Special Attacks: Mary Sue Fanfiction, Clock Glitching.

If you can score a copy, I suggest playing Jade Cocoon 2. It's a lot like Pokemon, only the monsters were designed by Katsuya mother fucking Kondo

You don't want Shaymin in the pants.  It'll never come out.
