hello! yoshi > Games

Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of Final Fantays X-2 music. Maybe the music just sets my body to ease, perhaps it reminds me of the game and how much I loved playing it. It’s almost a shame that I finished it, although I didn’t get 100% of the things to do in it. But honestly, can you really finish a game 100%? Don’t answer that. Anyways I wanted to take the time to announce a new website, Freaky Japan at http://freakyjapan.wordpress.com. It’s all about the freaky stuff in Japan. As you can imagine, we just don’t ever have an ending to content. Right now, we’ve got a few writers for it, including these two jokers, and me of course. You should check it out!

Thanks to Insomnic for alerting me to this.  Blizzard has commercials with William Shatner, Mr. T, and Verne Troyer (coming soon) and they ask the question, “What’s your Game?” This is totally classic, I love it! Here’s the William Shatner one for you. totally classic.

To view higher rez versions and the other commercials, check out the WoW Downloads page.

For all you folks out there who have been waiting for the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, the release is coming up! Have you pre-purchased your copy? Have you gotten your characters to level 60 to explore Outland?

This time around, I’ve decided to wait. I bought the Collector’s Edition when the game first came out, and I’ve never regretted it. But after looking it over, I’m thinking that the extra stuff in the Burning Crusade CE will not be enough to warrant buying it for me. Experience may differ for each of you I’m sure. :)

Unfortunately I have the “pleasure” of being one who has played World of Warcraft since day one (in the closed beta as well!) and I remember all too well how it was when it first came out. Every newbie area was swarming with people. If you had to kill something, you had to get in a group because there no way you’d be able to tag any creature without help.

No thanks folks. I’ll wait a few days, maybe even a week. Take my word, it’s gonna be so swarmed it won’t be worth it.

Just go ahead and keep playing your higher level characters and start farming items. You know everyone will be either in the newbie areas (Draenei and Blood Elves) or they’ll be in Outland.
