It's been a while since I've typed anything here.  I guess having two jobs and two kittens really eats away your free time.  I have purchased an obscene amount of games/gaming-type products over the past several days.  Heading the list are Dragon Quest VIII, the obligitory slime controller ( I know...) and Magna Carta.  I am hoping these purchases will have quality in proportion with the amount of money I have dropped on them.  I'm fairly sure they will, but time will tell...

Well, I took the dive and got a PSP. I am still concerned about the lack of games, but Lumines is a blast. I purchased the system after my girlfriend played a little bit of Lumines and instantly became addicted. With two addicts, it was fairly east to justify the purchase.

I had a great time at E3, as expected. Zelda was amazing, and Burnout and Soul Calibur both looked to be coming along nicely. I was very suprised at the lack of PSP games on the show floor. I almost feel happy that I didn't spring for the PSP now that I've encountered the lack of interesting software (as far as I'm concerned)>I'm considering springing for a SuperPass next so I can get behind closed doors and participate in the conferences and workshops. It's just an idea at this point, but it seems like it would be a good one. We'll see how I feel about it come next year.
