Okay, I've been bored a lot, but I finally figured out what's been missing in my life. And I can't believe it took me this long to realize it.

No, not a job.

Video games!

Seriously. I haven't played any in a long time, aside from a couple times a month at the arcade, or even less often at some friend's house.

So I've decided to wean myself off of this lack of video games. Starting slow, with stupid Yahoo! puzzle games. Then maybe I'll put in another replay of CT or FF9. Or finish the replay of FF1 I've already got going. During or after that, maybe I'll restart or resume DW3, 4, or 7 (man, I love that series, but there must be something wrong if I'm never compelled to get more than about 1/3 into the game); or buy some N64 classics like Mario64, Paper Mario, or a Zelda, since I happen to have an N64 laying around with practically no games. Then by the time that all bores me, I'll have a job, and reward myself with a PS2 and FFX, Kingdom Hearts, and FFX2. And if I get sick of RPGs....Genesis emulator. Sonic.

I feel much better about my life and my future now.

You referred to N64 games as "classics".

You are lost to MTV.

No, I swear, I didn't mean it like that. I meant it in the ironic way that ESPN classic calls a really good game an "Instant Classic", or as an ironic reference to the fact that there really aren't that many, percentage-wise, of people like me who have been around the video game scene since the NES days. I am personally only almost starting to think of some SNES games as classic, but the term is usually reserved for NES and earlier.

You don't believe me, do you?

Not at all...

Why do you Jews lie so much?

**ducks**

No, no, no. Given the N64 lineup of games, within it those are classics. That must be what he meant.

Yes. Yes. That's definitely what I meant.

phew.

Er, also, I think of Mtv as 'classic'. Does that make me weird?
