In reply to Gavin Craig. Ico is worth whatever you pay for it (incidentally, there is a version for about $22 on Glyde). And, if you are into the emulator thing, you are absolutely able to play ChronoTrigger on your computer.

In reply to Andrew Simone. I've been dying to try Ico, and eying the DS version of ChronoTrigger, but Ico in particular is hard to find for cheap. Shadow of the Colossus is hopeful as a rebound though.

I had precisely the same experience after I played Ico. Shoot. In many ways, that game spoiled gaming for me since it rounded off a series of fantastic games I found myself playing (Ikaruga, Rez, and Chrono Trigger). Now when a game doesn't put out like they did, I almost get mad.

I go into mourning after a show I love ends. Post “Buffy,” “The Wire” and “Six Feet Under” I was a bit of a mess.

In reply to Gavin Craig. I felt the same when I finished reading "100 years of solitude." I was fairly certain I'd never read anything so perfect and masterful again. For the most part, I was right.

In reply to Jill. No laughter here. I read Deathly Hallows the day it came out, much of it while I was supposed to be watching the girls while Danielle was at work. I'm not proud, but it was worth it.

This reminds me of how I feel after finishing a really, really good book, or especially after finishing a really good series of books. After spending about 10 years of my life reading Harry Potter, the world was a little less bright after I was done. Total withdrawal (you can laugh if you want).
