A breath of normalcy in a rocky life:
The triumphant return of PCMajor, Koby and the Doug to the Willow Crossing was made last night. The simple fact that I was in the midwest, nothing to say about being at one of my favorite dive bars, was surprising. See, I was in DC during the day. Was also supposed to stay there. Didn't. Meh. Talking about baseball, making bets and generally trashtalking for hours is one of life's true joys.

I picked up Cima earlier this week. Its a totally rad rpg for the GBA.
The premise: save a bunch of people from the evil Cima.
The stlye: typical rpg isometic view with your standard item screens.
The twist: the Cima(bad guys) live off of human hope. Or really like it. Or SOMETHING. Its not explained terribly well why they want it, only that they do. But they like human hope. So they grab a bunch of humans and toy with them. They leave victory tantalizingly close at all times so that your hope is always very high. Of course this makes the game a total mindfuck because you always think you're about to win, yet you never do. I've logged 4.5 hours and I'm only on the third level boss.

Rating: 3.5 out of 4 grogs.

Also: I'm almost done with Link to the Past. Just gotta finish off the last level which is loads of fun. After that, I'll prolly finally get off my ass and go get Fire Emblem or FF:TA. I figure one strategy game at a time is good enough, no need to play two. Even if they are both awesome.
