We got some points on our Wii at the weekend which means, you guessed it, shopping! Bought the classics Golden Axe and Toejam and Earl both from the Mega Drive. How awesome are those games? Been playing them with Garr at the weekend and we got our arses handed to us playing on Toejam and Earl. Glad to see some other classics listed on there too like the Sonic games, Street Fighter 2, Ecco the Dolphin(!?), Altered Beast (Wise fwom your gwave!) and some of the Super Mario ones too. Going to have to keep an eye on the list to see what else they add to it.

Also, can’t believe how close I am to finishing Garr’s obnoxious (yes it’s obnoxious now) calendar! I finished drawing October last night and did a FFXI screenshot for November with Garr last night and then another one this morning for December. Just inking a few pictures now and then all I need to do is scan them in and do whatever altering bits need altering. Can’t say I love all of the months though, you can definitely tell I rushed September and October and had no clue what to do for July, heh. Loving August and November though. I’ll show off the months once I’ve preened them all and got the calendar ordered.

Also also, my brother finally semi-officially moved out yesterday which means I will hopefully be able to move into his attic bedroom soon. Just got to wait for him to collect the last few (read tons) of stuff he has left in there and I can paint over his brown walls with some white emulsion. Thinking of going for white walls with some painted bright pink (why not!?) but got to keep the cream/brown carpet since it’s not that old. Oh well, better than my mix of a room I live in now. I’ll post pictures of its progress :p

I really should post some kind of update like creature soon.

I have a Wii living at my house now. It’s pretty fun although it does not bode well with my competing and jealous nature so I can’t lose. Red Steel is ok. Not as great as I imagined it would be. Reminds me of arcade games where you use the plastic guns to shoot at the screen. Fighting against each other is fun, especially when you find a little spot that covers 3 exits into the same area and has a constant supply of protective armour… :3

Also downloaded the free Internet Channel trial which seems pretty useless… Can’t wait to get some points so that we can buy some of the Virtual Console games (Golden Axe, Toejam and Earl, Street Fighter!? *swoon*)
