I gotta saw that was beautiful!

I wish I had seen this sooner. I remember seeing him at Youmacon in 2006. It almost feels like yesterday. He didn't look all too good then, so I'm not that surprised. Although I am saddened even more having actually seen the man in real life. It feels more personal, you know? R.I.P. Captain Lou. *salute*

I think the thing to take away from this is that Nintendo is looking to open up to more developers, particularly indie developers. This may be the first steps to allowing a legitimate way for homebrew developers to create and publish apps for the DSi. There's most likely still a bit of work that must be done, but I really hope this is where this leads to.

Honestly, I think Nintendo and Sony need to look at what Microsoft has done with XNA to let gamers tinker with making their own games and submitting them to the digital download stores for approval and eventually purchase. This would require loosening the restrictions on licensing for digital downloads, but it would go a long way. Full licensing could still be in place for full commercial games, but this would open up the downloadable content to more parties. Sony is already starting to move that way what with cutting development costs for the PSP and such. Hopefully Nintendo will too.

My favorite was an Alaskan cruise with several members of my family. We took over the boat for the most part. The scenery was spectacular, the food was excellent, and the excursions in port were awesome! I got to zip-line through the canopy of the Alaskan rain forest and mountain bike along a mountain highway. Plus, there's just something awesome about chilling in a hot tub off the back of a cruise ship while it's freezing raining.

Meh. I'm waiting for Jukebox Hero. It consists of inserting quarters and tapping buttons to flip album covers and select tracks. It's got an easy learning curve and is pretty popular in arcades and bars.

Perhaps the chainsaw will come back for Final Fantasy Versus XIII? That I'd like to see.

Agreed. Having never read/played the original books, I actually prefer being introduced to them by way of DS homebrew. The fact that you don't need to carry around paper, pencil, or dice in addition to the book make it much easier to take with you. Plus, the music gives it a much better ambiance and sets the mood. These could work really well for value or DSi download titles.

Rocker! No, wait. Maybe roller. I am pretty round.

Damn. You beat me to it. Well I'll say at least 100.
