The Pad

Due to three people disappearing (truthfully I was not the cause), my roommates and I set up a gaming centre. We have bunk beds set up like a couch and three systems, 360, PS2 and Genesis (Sega for those not old enough to remember the awesome times). My fellow gamer roommate who owns the 360 set it up to her computer's screen. I brought my TV which has plugs for the genesis and ps2. We have a wide range of games, across multiple systems. The other roommate might bring SNES. I am tempted to bring my gamecube, maybe even dreamcast or 64. I was originally going to bring Gamecube, PS2 and Genesis. Then I decided against the Gamecube. That thing travels too much (for instance Venezuala where it resides for several years).

I am hoping that the bidding on my Sonic games (all 7 for Genesis, 1, 2, 3, Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Spinball, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic CD) ends well for me. I already own the 1st one, but am missing the booklet. I want Jurassic Park pretty badly. My 360 roommate is looking for Lion King and various other Disney games.

I've been playing Pokemon Diamond for a while. It's still a good game. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald never intriuged me and I got out of the fandom for when Crystal came out. The reason I skipped a generation is that I hated the Advance. I'm debating on whether or not to get the Fire Red or Leaf Green ones. I want Ruby and Emerald along with Pokemon Ranger. If I can use FrLg on Pal Park then yes, I will get one. Most likely Fire Red. I'm a fire trainer for the most part. I did not get Chimchar for Diamond because I hate monkeys. I fucking hate them. A lot. I had problems with Mankey, there is no way I'm going to choose Chimchar for my starter. As a completist, I want Chimchar, but for the points only. I like Turtwig. I like his last form a lot. Same with Piplup. I have Piplup for now. I named it Penguin. The only Pokemon I name is my starter. I think my Cyndaquil was Chaos. I loved that thing so much. Cyndaquil was rockin'. I'm playing Pokemon right now, Diamond. I finally caught Onix. That thing was tough to catch. It took 3 normal Pokeballs.

I bought a case for my DS lite. The thing is a brick. It's clear hard plastic with black plastic foam. The top compartment is for games and the lower is my DS. It's very nice and in the case of a mugging, I can kill a man. This is no joke. If inclined to do so, I could bash his head in, wipe the blood off with a cloth and then cook some pork and fried rice in Cooking Mama.

The temperature in our room is freezing. I like cold weather. I like around 60-70. We turned it up to 75 and the AC kept running. It has changed at all. It's still ridiculously freezing. We're wrapped up in blankets, shivering.It's hard to game in cold weather.
