BigCat’s Blog of DOOM

Circuit city is going to have Wii’s tomorrow, so I’ll get up a little early and head there before church and get a new Wii.

Here is the question; Given that some of the games I had, I have no desire to replace, what should I get?

The games I used to have:
Zelda - beat it, never play it anymore.
Mario Galaxy - It looks pretty and is kinda fun, but was way easy and gave me a headache
SSX Blur - A great unwind game for me. Could play for a few minutes at a time and then put it down if I wanted. But didn’t really play it much anymore
Raymonds Raving Rabbids 2 - Had just opened it before it was stolen. Hadn’t even been put in the Wii yet. Read a review that said the original is better and cheaper to boot since it is older.
Guitar Hero 3 - Easily my current favorite. Apparently you can’t buy (or easily find anyway) a game-only version of this, so I will be getting a second guitar since the thieves couldn’t bother to steal the guitar with the game…dumbasses.

So, definitely re-buying Guitar Hero, and I’m pretty much set on getting Metroid Prime 3 instead of Zelda (even though Lauren hates metroid). I really want a multi-person focus on some of the games, hence the Raymond purchase before. I also bought on clearence Tony Hawk Proving Ground, but since it was uber-cheap ($15) I’m not expecting much but a basic Tony Hawk sequel.

What else should I get? Wario Ware? Raymonds Rabbids 1? An RPG? If so which one? Some game like SSX that is easy to play for short spurts? Just put my money in for a pre-order of Mario Kart and fore go the easy-out for Lauren getting me a B-day present (it comes out a week or so before my birthday, making possibly the easiest slam-dunk Ben Catlin B-day present in history). I’m not a fan of Smash Brothers in general, but I’m open to that if it is truely ‘fun’.

Thoughts?

So our house was busted into today. Someone busted in our kitchen window while we were all at work, and stole stuff, and then left the back door open.

Missing Items:

• Wii and 1 Wii-mote
• All Wii Games - but the guitar for guitar hero, and attached wii-mote still remain intact
• Digital Camera we bought in late summer
• New Laptop - ironically which came with theft tracking software which I never installed cuz I forgot about it.
• Old Pentium 3 laptop that we had loaned / given to our roomate
• Dignity and sense of safety in my own home

We have a $1000 deductible so I’m pretty sure if we get list price on the important things (i.e. everything except the old laptop and my diginity, because those were much older and harder to value) I bet I can walk into best buy or somewhere similar with a list and how much money I am going to pay for everything on the list….which will coincidentally be about $1000 less than the list price.

I’m most sad that our budget spreadsheets, the pictures we moved from the camera to the laptop, my game save-files from the wii, and Lauren’s schoolwork. Cuz everything else is replaceable.
