Banjo-Kazooie First Impressions
Woke up this morning and ate some boneless chicken wings, my stummy is exploding now because of it. After that breakfast of champions I sat down and played some Banjo-Kazooie for the first time. Not bad! It's the first 3D platformer I've really put in any time with on the N64. It seems like the first few levels are throwing a lot of fucking new moves at me that the next time I pick it up I will have forgotten.

The Name Game
How badly do you hate stickers and marker all over your used video games? Does it burn your ass when some moron writes on the end of your N64 carts with magic marker without applying a protective layer of space age super wonder masking tape? Me too. One of the worst offenders are those silver stickers on former rental copies that always leave behind that magical silver goop when you peel the sticker off of the cart.
Game Center CX
There is however one reality show from Japan that I absoloutely LOVE! Game Center CX chronicles Shinya Arino taking on some of the hardest video games ever made. Arino's dedicated work ethic towards completing objectives is truly inspiring. Putting in 14 hour game sessions trying to beat crushingly difficult Famicom games is a regular occurance for Arino on Game Center CX.
The first High Def game
From the article:
"We may take High Definition gaming for granted now with the prevalence of HD TVs and HD-ready consoles like the Xbox 360 and PS3, but it’s still a relatively new technology for gamers in the states. Not so for our counterparts in Japan. Although it wasn’t quite the HD we’re used to nowadays, over a decade ago a Japanese video game made one small step for Bomberman, and one giant leap for Bombermankind."
It's a very interesting read and very much worth checking out.
