Speaking of Apple I found something interesting out just last night. Turns out one of the 2 Steves that founded Apple was a pretty damn good Tetris player.
Yeah, I read about that in The Ultimate History of Video Games. He also submitted a lot of Tetris scores to Nintendo Power (including some fake names because he thought they might be ignoring him for submitting so many scores).
That's where my article links to. In Volume 26 of NP from the summer of 1991, he submitted a top Tetris GB score as Evets Kainzow from Saratoga, CA. He also felt the location needed to be changed.

So before I get to play Assassin's Creed 4 which got a lot of praise, they announce Assassin Creed 5. This is my problem with videogames, its a never ending spiral . Each one looks amazing enough to be played
I've always had that problem, especially with series where they seem to be on the constant release cycle(where it seems they make one game and maybe a year or two later before they announce the new game with some teasers and early alpha they start working on the second new title :-\). I really wish games would stop getting in this cycle and instead focus on the one make it really great and show it off. Then start on the next if that one is a success...

The AC series is hit and miss. Play AC4, it is amazing. Then wait and see what reviews say about AC5.

Still think I might just do this, completely skip Revelations and 3.
Obviously, it's not like the main overarching Animus storyline is worth a damn anyways anymore. So oh well. lol

I usually skip when sequels look like its just a reason to milk the cow like BioShock 2 and Dead Space 2, but when you get stuff like Bioshock Infinite I don't.
*sigh* I'm getting really anxious to see the mystery box that mjmjr sent me....20 games I really want to figure out what they are(I know it'll knock at least a few games I need in the gc and wii libraries hopefully). Makes me really hope it comes in today so I have time to mess with it ha ha

Don't be surprised if you get more than you paid for with that guy The N64 box I bought from him way back when (I think it was the first thing I bought from him, definitely the purchase that cemented my respect for his mystery boxes) was VERY nice, and out of 30+ games I think I had 1 dupe if that.
