Damn I put that orginally but then thought nooooo, oh well.  WRx is better IMO anyway.

Yessir, you'll be cleaning brake dust off those wheels every other day for the rest of your life.  Love my WRX but I don't know if I would jump up to the STI for my daily driver.

so you're saying you're the ONLY BMW mechanic out there?

Only GOOD one ;)


Oh and I picked up Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii...

I both love it and hate it.  The nostalgia value is super high (the music remixes, the similar / familiar gameplay and levels)  but they absolutely killed it with frickin waggle controls.  Why why WHY must I shake the damn controller to do a ROLL... the roll / roll jump is what makes DKC games DKC games...  and they f'd it up.  There are so many spots where I know I could blow through it with easy if only I had a damn SNES pad to play it with... 

Apparently there is a way to hack the wii and load some modifications that allow you to use the classic controller with the game.   I'm just surprised that they didnt have support for it in the game.  I mean if you're trying to appeal to a nostalgic crowd with your game, at least offer controls that are the same as the original.  If there was no such thing as the classic controller (or gamecube controllers) on the Wii, I'd give them a pass, but since such peripherals are available, why not use them!?

Thats why I played it for 5 minutes and said to hell with it and never played it again. Absolutely hate the gimmick controls the Wii has.

Honestly, give it a shot... It took me a good hour to finally get used to the frickin shake the controller thing.  Its still awkward, but the game really is quite good.  Alternately, I guess there is a 3DS version that doesnt have waggle controls hehe.

Really, I wouldnt care to shake to do the ground pounding or the blowing.. but rolling.. why guys why.

A few cheapies from the local game store.  Primal Rage is...eh.  I suck at fighting games.  Super Hang-On is reasonably fun, and Super Monaco GP is impressive but tough as nails.  I can't even finish the first race.

This is a sore point with me. Nintendo was trying to force waggle controls with its games without any options to change them. Super Mario Galaxy is a true classic and the best Mario game of this generation. But how many times did Mario accidentally spin jump sending him to his doom because of faulty waggle controls? Beyond frustrating I tell ya!

Went a little wild on ebay a few weeks back.  I'm still a few games away from my US Square collection, I probably shouldn't have started the Japanese collection...

And Megami Tensei just because.
