I have no idea what games are in that Play Choice cabinet, as I haven't actually seen it in person yet.

Thanks, Cary! I'm going to hold on to that power pellet until next week when I start work again.

Hotel Dusk may be my favorite DS game of all time, and that's saying a lot for me because I'm such a DQ junkie. I have that import sequel, too, it's called Last Window. I ahven't played it yet, though.

I haven't given my PS2 up, lol. I still have every console I ever bought and the games to go woth them.

I told my gramma that half the joy of getting a gift card is how many times you can spend it in your head, lol.

First off: good luck with the inspection. Second: get some sleep! Like I have room to talk, lol!

As for the bulk of your blog: Japenese culture is sexist. It's better than it was, but it's still an issue. As for the rest, you know pretty much where I stand on most of it already. There are problems in the gaming industry, but a lot of it is just growing pains and will eventually sort itself out. I say this as a woman working in a male-dominated field. It starts out pretty rough, but once enough women get their feet in the door, the changes that need to happen will. The place where I notice it most is the themes and wallpaper for the 360 and PS3. There are tons of provocative images of woman and few to none of men.  I don't know as I'd really want beefcake as the backdrop of my dashboard, but it would be nice to have the option when guys have all the scantily-clad chicks they could ask for. And yes, we do objectify men.

I hate getting incomplete games, too. It's even more frustrating when it's because you have to replace a complete game that you made the mistake of loaning out to someone and you never get it back, which is what happened with my copy of BG&E. As for systems - The only system that has crapped out on me has been a PS1. It was a third-hand hand-me-down that was bought at launch and it lasted until 2005.

Reminds me more of Ico than TWEWY. Looks like something I'd definitely play.

Hmm...maybe I'll get lucky and the library will have them. Not likely, but a girl can hope.

I'll check it out one of these days.
