time wasting
Jun. 22nd, 2003 02:31 amI decided to buy a Gamecube.
This took longer than I expected, because Circuit City did not know just which games were on the list of ones i could choose to come "free" with it. I asked; they had no clue. They were able to extract the product numbers out of the machine, and then, after several minutes of what I presume was tedious grovelling through the database, give me a list of titles.
Mario Party: well, that might be nice, if I ever had, like, people over and had a desire to buy more controllers.
Metroid: Peggy + FPS = bored Peggy.
Starfox Adventures: Rehashes of ugly Argonaut character designs, combined with ugly Rare designs, and reports of legendarily tedious gameplay.
Zelda Windwaker: The winner by default. Plus it's flat-shaded.
Plus Ikaruga which I got last weekend in case it vanished, plus the demo disc. I will not be going anywhere at all Sunday, I suspect.
But a few hours of Zelda already have my fingers aching. Those tiny controllers are not for giant she-beasts such as myself.
