I have to begin this with an apology. The month of May was hectic for me. Warmer weather means more work for moi since I work outside on the side. I was the best man in my brother's wedding, which ate an entire week. I was emotionally crippled for the week after that when my friend's brother died. And I was in another wedding the week after that.

And one other thing. My favorite thread from May was purged from the forums. If you remember it, it was called "A Look at the Weapons of Mario Kart Wii..." by KenSPT, and it was hilarious. But I guess it had some parts that broke the rules.

So I apologize. There are only two threads to highlight this week. No one sent me any suggestions. Again. You guys need to get on the ball with that. If you can send stuff to bob_newman for his funny quotes, you can send stuff to me for this.

Anyway, on to the threads. Speaking of bob.....

1. I Played ______ So Much...
- by bob_newman

bob played Mario Kart so much that he felt like he should be drifting around corners. I played GTA3 so much that I felt the urge to run over the fire-drill line of my fellow students. DaLegendKilla played Resident Evil 4 so much that he thought the guys in a convent were going to kill him. You get the idea.

This thread reminds me of a little part in the new Indiana Jones movie. No spoilers, don't worry. When Indy and Mutt are searching under the graveyard, Mutt freaks out for a second when something suddenly comes into his vision. Once his eyes focus, he realizes that it's just a little ball on the end of a spider web. His response - "Oh, it's just a.. thing." For some reason, I was the only one laughing really hard in the whole theater. Everyone else was dead silent, like they had never done the exact same thing before. Nobody knows what those little balls that hang from spiderwebs are, but they're freaky, and I'm pretty sure everyone has experienced it.

bob's thread is the same way. We've all done something as a result of playing a game too much, but we don't always realize it until we see someone else admit to it. If you missed this thread before, read through it. You're guaranteed a laugh or two... as long as you have a better sense of humor than that audience in the theater did.

2. Looking back on Wii: From Revolution to Wii
- by livinitup01

It's easy to forget that just a few years ago, none of us had any idea what Nintendo had up its sleeve. This thread is about gamers' collective short memory. There isn't much to say in response. m_machine said all that needs to be said - those were good times. Most of the response to this is just in nostalgic memories of the end of the Gamecube's lifecycle. We couldn't even imagine what was to come. Remember all the rumors? Virtual reality, ultra-realistic graphics, etc. It kind of puts the reliability of all our speculation into question. Most of our time here is spent speculating, and most of the time, we're wrong. How does that make you feel?

That's it for this month. If you want a better entry for June, send me suggestions! This month will be busy for me as well, so I'll need your help. Stop being like me and quit slackin!
