Noa Sees The Reaper!
Happy Secret of Mana Day!
No, wait…
Happy Spend Lots of Money Day!
I spent a whole lot of money today. Would you like to see how? Okay.
Guitar Hero Rechargeable Battery Pack. I was tired of always having to buy batteries for my Wireless guitar when we need to get our Rock Band on. $15.
1000 Wii Points. I needed Secret of Mana on Virtual Console! I’d also like to get World of Goo, but I’m holding off for now. $10.
iPod Touch (2nd Gen 16 Gig Variant). I gave up on searching around town over and over again and just bought it from Amazon. Approximately $300 (!!)
I also went out to eat, but that doesn’t count. I’m also probably going to buy some more Microsoft Funmoney for Rock Band songs tomorrow. (I like the song, not the album, Dr. Feelgood and I want it. So I will have it.) Also, I’m not working much this week. This week is not good on my bank account! But I don’t much care! I’m not going broke, and I’m having fun and getting shit done. What more can I ask for? If I want nifty toys to help me stay stable while I graduate, fuck, I should have them. I deserve them. But still…
Bank Account Gets Wacked!
or some joke like that!
But no, seriously, you know what game is still awesome? Secret of Mana is still awesome. We played for three hours and it did not get bored, though I think Jonathan and I were intimidating Spaeth, since we could play through the beginning of this game in our sleep and he had never played before. We got to the second Mana seed! I’m all excited about playing through it some more. I hope we get to. Either way, it was worth the money to actually get to play one of my favorite games of all time with three players, as it was meant to be played.
The thing that really blows my mind about the game, though, when I actually think about it, is the fact that I have put enough hours into Secret of Mana to have beaten it countless times, and yet I have never beaten it. I always tend to burn out about the time I get Flammie. I really don’t know what it means that I’ve never beat one of my favorite games of all time, but… well, I’m not really too worried about it. I love it. It’s mine. MINE!
Anyway, we’ll see how far the adventures of Kiljoy, Sprite, and Noa get. Either way, I had a really great day. Tomorrow is going to be really quite busy, but after it, I’m pretty well home free for Fall Break, which is exciting. Wish me luck.
