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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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).
