It took a while to happen, but it looks like Earthbound for SNES is the rarest/most expensive game on eBay finally. Rightfully so, because it fucking owns. It's even beat out Chrono Trigger. Which is nice, because I own Earthbound, with the box and strategy guide (it didn't have an instruction booklet), all in pretty good condition. So if I ever needed like $70 really bad, I could eBay that bitch.
I don't get the concept of changing screen names. Getting bored with a name enough to change just seems like such a foreign concept to me, John Douglas. I've had one AIM name, and one name for anything else, and they all have had 'Everdred' in them since like 1997. Over 8 years. You can't beat that unless you're fat and homely. And stalkers doesn't count as an excuse for changing names. I've had fucking stalkers - from Runescape. It's the stupidest thing ever, to be such a loser but have someone that looks up to you with such respect and so on, that they'll go around asking other people for your screen name and e-mail. I swear, that's the LAST time I'll ever get awesomely good at an online game. But it's not hard to block them out, at least until they conspire to find your home address and break down your door in order to talk about a 4 year old online Java game.
Five more weeks of school shit, then a few quick finals and I'm gone. I have no idea what I'm gonna do during the summer (maybe [finally] get a job?), although I do like the idea that Roberts proposed - playing through FF3 (SNES) with a group of people, all in one sitting. I'd be up for that, especially if things were made a bit more interesting (y'know, like no espers, 'cause they make the game way too easy). Or maybe trying to beat the game with only the minimum three characters, but that'd mean a bunch of mindless leveling and probably a number of retries too. I'm always up for some good video gaming, but people don't seem to want to do that anymore. They instead go to Starbucks to drink expensive "coffee" and talk about how independent they feel because of college, despite being months away from flunking out or having a major breakdown. I wish I was that fucking cool, cool enough to drink coffee.
