You're probably right about TWEWU, maybe it just depends on the area that one lives in. I remember back when there was games still for the GC, in my hometown and even those around it, finding new games for it was easy, practically nobody bought those games because most people owned either a PS2 or Xbox. When Nintendo stopped making games for it, finding them used was easy too, but then the Wii came out and suddenly, those old GC titles would disappear off the shelves! It just all depends on where you live sometimes and what's considered popular there, I guess.

I think a lot of it also has to do with things being popular in general. Look at the PS2. It's been around for nearly a decade and they still make games for it. That's mostly because PS2s were cheap and popular. When the PS3 came out, a lot of people didn't bother getting it because it was so expensive and they already had a PS2 which still had popular game titles. It's only been in the last couple years that not having a next gen. conceal has become a problem. I only have a PS2 and it's getting harder and harder to find new games. We still get things like the Persona series, amazing games btw, and a few odd games here and there. Luckily, the PS3. 360, and Wii just had a price drop.

Well...as far as games, right now I'm playing through Sonic Unleashed (surprisingly considering that I have both work and school, honestly, how I ever find the time to play any videogame is beyond me). I love the running levels in this game, massive improvement and some of the level music as also pretty bad a$$. I don't mind the werehog stuff although my brothers don't like it too much...the only downside is the fact that there was no Shadow or Knuckles in this game, how sad.

Well, aside from HPatCoS, I'm trying to find new ways to mod my copy of Halo 1, which is, unfortunately, quite difficult, as I run Mac as opposed to PC. I can't even replace the music without getting noise in the game or screwing it up some other way. Nonetheless, I still enjoy my modded campaign much more than the original, what with the portrayal changes I've made. The story in my mod, for those who haven't even played Halo, is as follows: The Covenant, a group of overly religious aliens, rage war against the human and Grunt races, the latter of whom recently rebelled against them. It is during this war that these races discover a giant ring-world of important religious significance to the Covenant. The game is played through the point of view of a lone cyborg, referred to as Master Chief, often accompanied by fellow humans and battlefield jokes by the Grunts. ;D His goal eventually becomes one of discovering Halo's purpose as well as destroying hostile aliens.

I finally got Silent Hill: Shattered Memories last week, after the PS2 version was delayed for another month, and was able to play it all Sunday. Amazing game. Amazing amazing game. A must have for anyone who is a fan of the series. I adored the game play more than anything else. I really wish more games were like that. Looking forward to playing it several more times and getting all the endings.

Alright, I'll say it here, too. I've finally found a way to replace the music in Halo. The most notable soundtrack included in my redub would be Terminator 2: Judgment Day (I'm even using the infamous trombone fall sound for the Flood! ;D). However, there are some others included. Here's a list: Movie music: Blink (Brad Fiedel) Terminators 1 and 2 (both by Brad Fiedel) Game music: Alida (Cos Russo) Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time (Jamey Scott) Riven (Robyn Miller) a little bit from the first three Tomb Raider games (Nathan McCree) I'm also considering throwing in an instrumental version of Gary Numan's "The Angel Wars".

Oh cool, Tomb Raider, awsome! *sighs* Taking a break from Sonic Unleashed and trying out that Mario and Sonic winter olympics game, it's kind of addicting but what I can't help but find so funny is the figure skating event in it. Rofl, I can't help but find humor playing as some of the guy characters and doing it, who knew that Mario and Sonic were so graceful, lol! XD There's only two things that bug me, the event called Curling ( a totally weird olympic game because I really can't tell how you earn points on it ), and the fact that Silver is annoying at times. I don't know who his voice actor is but they have a very annoying voice and some of the things he says, yeah, weird and random. For example, on races when he gets a speed boost or hits the little dash panels, he says "I'm really moving now!" No, you think, Silver?

I just read an e-mail from Game Stop that says they're giving away shiny Pichus between Jan. 30-Feb. 14. I'm thinking about getting one and ordering Soul Silver at the same time. You get a toy of one of birds for reserving! Well, you're supposed to. My Game Stop fails with those things. I was supposed to get a soundtrack when I got Silent Hill, but they didn't give it to me. But I had heard that something went wrong with the soundtrack orders and a lot of people didn't get them, so I don't think any of us PS2 owners even had a chance.
Still, I'm surprised that we're getting the portable pokeball. I was sure that was going to be a Japan Only kind of thing.

Shiny Pichus! For real?! Awsome! Do you know about which pokemon version can download it since I only have Pokemon Diamond on my DS although one of my brothers has that and Pokemon Plantimium.

Yeah, the famous Pikachu-Colored-Pichu. They also said something about it holding some secrets for the upcoming Soul Silver and Heart Gold. No idea what that can be, but I'm intrigued.
I'm pretty sure it's only for Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, so you're in luck. I just don't really know it works. I know when Toys R Us has their free Pokemon event, you just had to turn on your DS in the store and you got it. I think I'll asked and then bring it in. I'm not going to pass up the chance to get a free rare Pokemon. They only disappointment is that I'm not all that sure how shiny Pokemon work. I'm pretty sure this one doesn't keep it's color when it evolves, but I would really love to use it for fighting to show off. Oh well. I also wish that the color was a little more...noticeable. Shiny Pichus are just a little darker yellow, like a Pikachu. But I'm not going to complain if it's free. Especially since it's one of my favorite Pokemon. I only regret not playing my Diamond more, but I'm glad it's one the game that it is since I have all the starters for it on this one.
Also, I really want to get my Mew on Diamond, but it turns out I'm going to have to buy another game to help me transfer my Red Pokemon onto Diamond. If anyone can help me out with this, I would be very happy. I would love to have my old Pokemon on my current game.

Do you know about the original code to get Mew Bampot? Oh the original Red/Blue/Yellow ones? Unsure if a transfer would be possible (could be considering that you could due it using an add-on of the N64 to transfer them onto Pokemon Coliseum, so who knows if they have something more current), but the code does work.

AWSOME! As far as the transfer, maybe Gamestop might have a wireless download station there in order to transfer the pokemon but as far as transfering your pokemon from the original red version? I'm not sure if that is possible, considering how old red is and also, most of the gb titles aren't compatible with any of the gba and for sure not the ds titles, I know that you can transfer gba pokemon onto the ds BUT it's only a one way transfer which means no switch back if you want to.

Well, I heard that you can just keep transferring games, but I heard that can take awhile. Then you can download the one gba one onto your DS. It will just put me back a bit, but it would be worth it to get my ol' pokes.
Yeah, I used the little cheat. That's one of the reasons I loved the first games. They had all those little things. But I didn't find out how to get Mew until a couple years ago. Thank you YouTube <3
