I haven't been doing much reading. Almost finished with Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Slowly working through Borges' Collected Fictions. Haven't yet wrapped up my William Hope Hodgson anthology. You'll mostly find video games below.

surfs his way to safety? Sounds like Blade: The Series.

I refuse to watch television series until after they show up on DVD. Even then, it takes a lot of work. I may have to turn in my geek badge for skipping out on Babylon 5, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, and, well, anything with Star Trek in the title.

Blade: The Series? Oh, man. Even after it's on DVD, I think I'd be queueing up Laverne & Shirley on the Netflix before grabbing this one.

It's like the first DMC, only with lots of added fighting methods. So awesome.

The story and cutscenes, on the other hand, are more like Blade II awesome.

So I get my cake and eat it, too. You may just want to skip the cutscenes and revel in the air juggling gun combos.

When you get around to seeing Aragami, give me a holler and I'll be there, right quick. That, and Versus. Have you seen Versus yet?

We just bought New Super Mario Bros. for the DS. It's pure old-school side-scroller. Only it's a Father's Day gift, so I can't play it until late June. My coworkers tell me it's awesome, though. So let's hope side scrollers won't ever die ...

As for the Wii. With the baby coming, we figure we'll be skipping out on the Wii, as I think our hands will as full as our pocketbooks empty. It's definitely going on my Christmas list (yeah, our family still does Christmas lists).

OHHH I want that new super mario bros. so badly. I'm gonna skip out on the Wii... just cause the name. (kidding) I'm loving my DS.... Metriod Prime Hunters isn't out here yet... I don't know if I will get it though, already have a million games to get ( ... )

Prime Hunters you can probably skip out if you're having fun with console and PC FPS's.

FFIII, I'm not too sure. It's definitely the last chance I'll ever give the JRPG game before abandoning it completely. I've hated any recent Final Fantasy game starting with VII.

I'm not a big Resident Evil fan, but man, the DS version sounds pretty rad. I may have to finally give the series a shot.

Brain Age is so awesome! And only twenty bucks! I hope it paves the way for more weird Japanese games getting translated.
