Mindful Ramblings
Is it all it's cracked up to be?
Published on March 14, 2004 By Unfairman In Misc
As I mentioned in my previous article, I've been eagerly awaiting the time when I can afford the new Ninja Gaiden game for my Xbox. I don't play video games to much, I prefer to read, but sometimes I see one that I just HAVE to have. It's not natural, I think.

Anyway, I have fond memories of the Ninja Gaiden series from my youth. Throwing ninja stars at bad guys and killing them and stuff...I'd waste hours playing That Game for the good old NES. Those were the days, eh, kids? 6 buttons...up, down, left, right, A and B. There were start and select, too, but those ones didn't really matter.

Remember Super Tecmo Bowl? You couldn't not win that game if you'd played it more than twice.

Okay, now I'm just rambling.

If you want to contribute to the "Chris Needs Ninja Gaiden Fund" just let me know, just leave me a comment.

Also, if you want to contribute to the "Chris Needs Ninja Gaiden Fund", you need some psychological help. Fortunately, I have a college degree in Psychology. $49.99 per session.

$49.99 per session? A great deal!! I was a Psychology major, also.
Now, did I mention to you and Suspeckted that I have a lovely daughter looking for penpals??

Ted,
I was up this early because my brother had some friends over, and they were loud as hell...therefore, no sleepy for me.

Fawn,
Pen pals, eh? My handwriting is near illegible, as is our friend Ted's...email is fun though. Wait...how old is this daughter of yours...?

Imajinit,
Thanks for answering my question. Now I know.

Of course our handwriting is poor, we were philosophy students.
Still don't know where to send my check.

Ted, you are Today's Favorite for quoting Willy Wonka.

The address is:
1958 Burntess Rd
Cook, MN
55723

How dumb am I, giving out my address on the internet, but I guess if it rolls in the dough...

Please, no pipe bombs.

When I hear "anticipation" all I can think of is Rocky Horror.....stupid movie is stuck in my head forever......

Hope you get your game!  You can rent it at most of the Blockbuster's around here.  Not sure if that is a local thing or not, though.

Hmm...now to order Chris 40 subscriptions to Vibe.

"Oh man, what am I going to do with 40 subscriptions to Vibe?"

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to quote Office Space, Ted. Much obliged.

Also, the nearest blockbuster is like 40 miles away. Totally not worth the drive for a 3 day rental.

Man, and I thought *I* lived in the middle of nowhere.  40 miles?

40 miles to the nearest blockbuster. The town I live near has no Blockbuster, and the evil video store I used to work at doesn't rent games. The town is about 3 miles from where I live, and the population is only 623. So, put that in your blog and smoke it.
