IN CASE YOU'RE LIKE ME

: "wait and see ~~~risk." utada hikaru.

feeling:

so, lately we've been showing the 8-bit love around at my house. the NES is getting quite a workout...one which it hasn't seen the likes of since i finally beat The Legend of Zelda last year. (and yes, i'm that sad. XD that's in fact why i went and bought an NES...i'd played tons when it was first out, but i never had one of my own.)

anyway, Spaz has been replaying Metroid lately, which has been fun. his NES Advantage seems to be having some intermittent issues, but we found another one for sale at Microplay, so it's good to know that a backup's around if it's needed (though we didn't ask how much it cost...^^;;;).

me, i haven't had much time, so when i've had any, i've been playing Super Mario 2. only because Super Mario 3 doesn't seem to want to work in our system...it freaks out every time. i really do like that one the best of those first three, though. XD

and even though i've of course beaten all of them several times, there's evidently still plenty i didn't know. XD f'rinstance, when i was younger, i was NEVER dunce enough to pick up a key from inside a room or a vase or what have you, get the angry possessed masks to chase me, and then throw the key off a cliff accidentally. oh, nooooo. XD

but yesterday, of course, i did just that. and felt really, really dumb. however, to my surprise (and obviously as built-in idiotproofing by those smart chaps at Nintendo), the key in fact regenerates in the place where you'd got it from in the first place...assuming you're such an idiot that it needs to. XD

er, just thought i'd share. ^.-
