    Hrm... if we ban deadbeat Santas... what do we do to deadbeat bunnies? I mean, they're volunteering out of the generosity of their heart, but on the other hand, someone getting screwed twice in a row would be pretty soul shattering.

    The responsibility of a bunny is vast, and I've heard that down the road you get major good karma from it, so we need a horrific alternative to keep everything in line.

    I vote death.

    I have received PM confirmation that Digdug2000 finally received the resent santa gift I sent him. DHL lost the first one and ThinkGeek was kind enough to resend the package to his work address so he would physically be there when it was delivered.

    Also (just a nitpick) I was technically not egged, Mrsnackroad was my santa and through the immense goodwill in his heart sent ANOTHER package after the first one got lost. He is my Santa/Bunny and a hero.

    J_L (That's right, I'M YOUR EASTER BUNNY! MWAHAHA), your first package should be arriving on Saturday, or Monday at the latest. Sorry for the delay, illness/work/Brawl has been keeping me busy. You probably won't enjoy the first package, but the second should be something you enjoy. So enjoy it, lest you don't enjoy stuff. Enjoy.

    OK, don't know where else to post this, but ...

    Whohoo! I've just completed my first ever level on Super Mario Galaxy (with star collection being carried out by LewieP)!

    This is the first time ever!:lol:

    What you have to remember (if you've not read the post) is that I can only really use my right hand - left hand tiny with 1" not very flexible webbed fingers (Poland's syndrome). I played with the Wiimote tucked up my sleeve so I could shake it, and still press the A button with my fingers, and held the nunchuck in my right hand. I can jump, spin, jump-and-spin, run round and round, collect coins and bits of stars!

    Yes, it was stressful, I had to stop after 1 level ( I had wanted to stop part way through, but didn't realise you can't save the game then), but I might have another go tomorrow.

    Oh, and we found out you can also spin by shaking the nunchuck.

    So, massive appreciation at this point guys, I'll become a gamer yet!:D:D:D

    Alright! We start our tale of wonder and mystery with our hero stumbling out of his home late last night, making his way to check the mail...

    And discovering a shipping box from Play-Asia.com!

    Scared, confused, the package was brought home and inspected carefully, before caution was thrown to the wind and that package got what was coming to it...

    And within the great package there were three items... each spoiled to prevent H-scroll violation, by the way.
    dialhex.jpg

    I LOVE PUZZLE GAMES.

    Dailhex is an obscure puzzle game from Japan; the best way to describe it is a mix between Tetris and the XBLA game Hexic - where your purpose is to twist and turn the wedges to create a single color hexagon. The longer you go, the more different colors they add to the puzzle, and when the giant hexagon gets filled, its game over.

    But, much like the late night infomercial exclaims, "But that's not all!"
    layton.jpg

    Truly, my bunny wants to keep me puzzled and confused - I hear good things about this game and its matchstick puzzle action.

    "And for a limited time, we'll include...!"
    snap.jpg

    GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY, THAT IS A TINY CAR!

    I set it on a GBA cartridge to give something to compare it to, and its pretty cool - the tires have pokeball hubcaps!

    I am in geekery bliss right now, THANK YOU EASTER BUNNY!

    Yay! I was wondering when it was going to arrive, play-asia's estimated arrival date had been and gone for a few days.

    I am glad you like the games, and when I ordered the pokémon car, it was random which pokémon you would get, some looked lame, but I had hoped you would get a pikachu (the best looking of the cars imo)

    Enjoy!

    Had to drive north to visit my cousin for Easter Rock Band festivities.
    After a weekend satisfying even the most discerning of virtual fans, I came home to hang up my guitar, and lo and behold, the Easter Bunny had paid a visit.

    I've got a dozen new friends! Word to my Peeps

    Unfortunately, a weekend of hard rockin' and hard drivin' makes one hungry. And sadly, just like that one movie, sometimes all you can do is impose on your friends for your next meal.

    The first is something you mentioned, the other is kinda-sorta, tangentley (word?) related and seems popular on PA. Final item is back-ordered; :| eary April, probably.

    A double-barreled blast of awesomeness (pardon the cameraphone grainy-ness):

    I have been looking to pick up a copy of Reinventing Comics for some time now, but have held off just in case something like this would happen. YES! I am totally gonna write a graphic novel now. My promise is that I'll send you an adavanced script.

    ...and Moore's Killing Joke. In hardcover! I'd been looking for that for a while and hadn't found a copy at a price I could afford, but here it is in shrinkwrapped glory. That baby is gonna fit right into my Alan Moore library, between From Hell and my issues of Yuggoth Cultures:

    OK, quick update on my adventures into gaming:

    Well, all by myself, I've got 2 stars and found a new galaxy in Mario Galaxy - Urahonky, you were right, I did way better without Lewie! I even caught my own star bits! (held the wiimote with my knees to point it at them).

    And, Mrsnackroad, I've COMPLETED Prof Layton, in 10 hours. Whohoo!!!!!

    Who knows, Zelda or Portal may beckon next!

    Lewie has a DS and Wii he's brought home with him, he also has an X Box, PS something (2?) and a game cube at uni, I have a PC here that he's said he'll put Portal on for me, but says I won't be able to manage Zelda even if I can do the controllers (sounds like a challenge there).

    I quite liked Prof Layton, but many of the puzzles were a bit easy, specially the "move this red ball from here to here by sliding blocks around" type, and the chess ones were a doddle. Using the stick thingy (Yes, I know Lewie, stylus) was very easy, just a bit slow sometimes. The voices were funny, I'll have to learn to speak better English, and lose the Manchester accent though!
