Lots of things to smile about today! I finally got around to watching the latest episode of My Little Pony, which was great as always; cute is good for the soul. :D Also, I found a boxed PS1 Dual Analog controller at a Goodwill shop on my way home for $6. Score!

Super Princess Peach

You go through 8 worlds, get to the final boss and the game slaps you in the face by saying you need to have collected all the toads (there are 3 hidden toads) from every stage in every world to play the last level, what a pain in the fucking ass! If I want to play the final level I need to replay half of the game again looking for these toads, if I need to to go on, wouldn't it make more sense that you cant play the next level until you get them all on the last level.

What a piece of shit.

In real life you would have to find all the toads also.

So yeah, there you have it... -_-

Smile: Portal 2 arrived this morning, hella playing that after work~

Ticked: One of my best friends who I thought was getting the game day of release opted for free shipping on Amazon (even though release day shipping was like $4) and won't get his copy until next week. Cheapass >.>
Torn on whether I should pop the co-op cherry without him even though we planned to play the game together from the start or just take on the single player until he gets his copy...

I used to be a collecting fiend, so when I played that I had already gone for every toad by the time I got to the last level and actually had no idea about that. Lame...
With that said, *spoiler* after you beat the game everything resets and you get to go look for all the toads again :D (can't remember if they're placed in new locations or not - I would hope so, kinda pointless if they weren't) *spoiler*

Happy: Leaving work an hour early.

Not so Happy: Having to leave work an hour early.


Explanation: My wife has some tutoring to do, and I'm just not cool with having my dog sit inside for 13+ hours. Got a ton of shite to take care of, but the pup needs to go outside.

Kind of a catch 22.

Happy: Really getting the hang of my new job

Not Happy: Still 3 weeks till school is totally over and I can just focus on the job.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Is it wrong that I read that as "Happy getting a hand job" at first glance?

It's all a matter of perspective. Wrong? No. Do I now know who'd I'd get along with in real life? Yes. Yes I do.

Smile: I put my PS1 back together (which I so stupidly pulled apart when I was younger) and I got it to work!

Ticked off: The damn memory cards which I haven't touched have corrupted themselves somehow. The only explanation is that they're third party made, not official Sony.
