I try to go outside nearly every day.  But not today, it's raining.

I can't believe Yu-Gi-Oh is sitll around.  My brothers used to love all that stuff.

That "Steam Roller" game you played is probably Crush Roller, otherwise known as Make Traxx in the US.  Crush Roller was one of SNK's first games.  There is even a remake of it on the Neo Geo Pocket Color (I have it).

While I'm proud to have written for The Dallas Morning News, they kind of screwed me over in the end, so I'm a bit bitter about them, too.

You're lucky you get to go do things like this.  My excitement for the weekend usually consists of me going to Wal-Mart...if I'm lucky.

I disagree.  Wario Land: Shake It, while not as good as Wario Land 2, was still a good game in its own right with beautifully animated hand-drawn graphics.  Plus, Capt. Syrup returned in it.

While most WarioWare games are not as good as the original, I still think they're good for quick and quirky fun.

Mario Party games are fun, but only if there are a lot of people you can play with.  And my number of gamer friends who can still play with me is dwindling.  Plus, all Mario Party games are pretty much the same.  If you've played one, you've played them all.

I agree, Wario Land 2 is probably the best one, even though they're all great.  I enjoy the Wario titles more than most regular Mario games, really. This may be my second favorite Game Boy game (first is Link's Awakening)

Not being able to die was brilliant, and having to figure out when and where to get hit by particular enemies gave the game some clever puzzle elements. I also loved the branching pathways.  PROTIP: At the beginning part of the first stage, DON'T get out of bed when you hear the alarm clock.  I found that path out by accident!

Plus, the game has Captain Syrup and she's awesome.  Nintendo should use her more.

I've played more than one Mario Party game, but I really mostly only played the first, and I think that's all I needed to play.  I have one of the GameCube Mario Party titles, but I only bought it because it was at a charity auction.

I've never played any of the other ones.  Any characters I would like?

Very cool.  There are a lot of people I still miss at 1up.  I can't follow them all, though, as that would spread myself thin.  I wish I had more time to do things like that.

There's only one Kinect game that I really liked.  It's called The Gunstringer and it was made by Twisted Pixel.
