Next time I leave the mail link pointing to Drew, will someone let me know? I had to go to Drew and beg him to forward me the mail that was rightfully mine. It was a very humbling experience.

I found it slightly disturbing the first time, but then I grew to like it. I mean, it's not like they're REAL cats. They're not even in color animation!

I've only played Smash Brothers once, and that was while spending a little time with a 4 year old neighbor this past summer. It was mere minutes before we went outside to my trampoline, which is where I broke my wrist. But I digress.

I liked playing as Link, because he's so cool with his sword. I just can't resist swords.

Aww, thanks for calling me cool, Mikmok. And it is really cool that Jim Carrey will be playing Andy Kaufman (no relation to me) in Man on the Moon, and even cooler that R.E.M. is doing the score and much of the soundtrack. This is like, the perfect movie for me. I like Jim Carrey and I love R.E.M., and the two are working together to do a movie about a man that has the same name as me and is a wonderful comedian. What more can a guy ask for?

Well then, bring it on, QuickMan. I love sports games and will accept a challenge from you. Name the location, as long as it is in Dallas. I'm not going to drive very far for a challenge. In fact, it doesn't have to be NFL2000. Just name the game. I'll even take you on at GameBoy Tennis.

Americans have much larger shoe sizes, on average. I read this somewhere. So, if needed, we could stomp on the Japanese's feet and hurt their toes. Who needs an atom bomb?

Terrific idea. I would be all over a game like that. Maybe Blockbuster could get into the act... free rentals for people with a specified amount of Pikachu catches! I'll split the profits with you once we sell this idea to Nintendo.

My apologies to Uncreativity. I meant no offense. It was an accident! I'm sorry I say!

Closing Comments

Time for Drew to take over again. That fussy Drew insists on having a topic, though. So, I'm having to spend some time here thinking about one. OK, here's one: Tales of Eternia. The game looks pretty neat to me. It's a bit early to be making too many predictions, but it looks neat. So, tell Drew what you think.
