Thanks for all the game related comments. Most of them aren't really viable for my current computer situation (my sister's computer is only a 1 Ghz so it'll probably have difficulty playing Morrowind and probably won't even run Knights of the Old Republic). Four Swords does look like a good renter though. And Tropico is indeed a fun and addictive game. I may look into accquiring that (perhaps even officially given its probable low price).
I'd been thinking the last couple days that I needed a new game for when I beat XIII but I wasn't really sure what I wanted. Of sort of close upcoming releases I want the new WWE game and Pikmin 2 but neither will be out till the end of August. So I left for work early today and stopped in Gamezilla. I'd never been in the store as it's usually closed when I drive past it at night but I thought it might be a good place for games (I'm not sure how I deduced that one). Gamezilla is actually a chain though there are only 3 stores as far as I know (the others being in Fredricton and Truro). It's a pretty cool place. It's kind of like the comic book store in Wolfville but a lot bigger (it's got a whole seperate large-size room for tabletop RPGs and stuff), with video games (for buy and rent) and a lot more anime stuff.
I browsed the selection of cube games and saw they had a copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends. I knew Skies of Arcadia was a really good RPG and I knew the remake for cube is also supposed to be really good so I picked it up. I'd actually had an urge to pick it up before but had never seen it in a store and didn't feel like ordering it online. So once I beat XIII I'll have many more hours of gaming ahead.
While I was there I also picked up the first Excel Saga graphic novel. It's the first time I've actually bought a graphic novel but Excel Saga's awesome enough for me to feel safe picking it up in manga form. I'll probably tear through that tonight and/or tomorrow (it's 4:45 AM right now so I'll probably do that 'sleep' thing soon).
So I had myself a good little gamezilla spree. And as a bonus I got 2 free rentals (one for each purchase, I assume). I'll probably make use of at least one of those the next time I'm off for two days and not going home (I definitely wouldn't mind checking out Four Swords and/or the Megaman collection).

This quote comes from one of my favorite villians. Yume gets credit for this one and jumps into sole possession of the lead. I'm still too lazy to do up a scoreboard on the side but here's the score for those curious.

Also of note is a quote policy I just came up with today. No show or movie will be used as a source for the quote more than once in any given week. That way you can't win just by knowing Simpsons really well. :P
Since the contest started I've used Simpsons, Lexx and Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter (so you won't see those again this week)
