1. I don’t like Pikmin 2. Everyone else seems to love it, so either a) I’m right and everyone else is wrong, b) there’s something fundamentally wrong with me, or c) my disk is faulty in some way. I’m betting it’s a combination of all three.

2. I’ve literally played only Tribes: Vengeance for ten minutes (two on one map and eight on another), but oh what a ten minutes they were. If I were to describe T:V in a single “word,” and that single “word” was more of a non-word than an actual word, I would use “Tribes-esque,” which is really the biggest complement anyone can give Irrational at this ponit.

3. GameSpot has a System Shock 2 retrospective which you shouldn’t bother reading. In fact, the only reason I’m even mentioning it is because the author seems hell-bent on repeating over and over again that tomorrow GameSpot will reveal a new project by Irrational which will “likely please fans of System Shock 2.” That should be really relevant in four years. My money’s on anything but a Doom 3-powered System Shock 3.

4. My poisonmancer died. Again. Ajojdflbmlmaopsj;ldsjbikjaoijjsdf

5. Why is it that every time Nintendo opens its (PLZ don’t treat a singular company as a plural KTHX) mouth about the DS I want one more and more but every time Sony says anything about the PSP it just makes me really, really sad? You can’t even blame this one on Nintendo bias, really. Or you could. It’s not like I have any say in the matter.

6. I love me some Frosted Mini Wheats.

7. Sign ups for the World of Warcraft Beta start soon. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

8. I’m going to bed.
