I just added a new category, “Under the influence.” I’m sure you can figure that one out.
I am definitely going to by a Nintendo GameCube. I already have a large selection of games for my GameBoy Advance, and I get a bit tired of playing the games on that tiny screen. The portable is great for travel, which I will be doing very soon when I go to San Diego for Christmas. However, I think a console would be better for wasting time when I am at home. I really have no plans for buying GameCube specific games at this point. Maybe I never will buy any of them. I will buy the GameCube and the adaptor to play gameboy games on said console. It will cost more than buying a duplicate game boy advance, but I think in the long run it will be a better deal overall. I’ll still be able to transfer information across RPGs using a link cable, which is very important to my game play. If you’re going to spend a lot of time playing a game, you want to leverage that time when you play the sequel.
