Some random post on a forum gave me the urge to try Donkey Kong Country, to see what the fuss was all about. Awesome shit. Another thing on my list of SNES games I want to buy when... you know... I have a SNES.

What a coincidence, I just downloaded that onto the SNES Emulator on my R4. That way I can carry it (and many, many, many other games) around with me wherever I go!
I'm playing Earthbound. It is a beautiful, magical thing when a game makes you, a 10-12 year old boy, fight six policemen for no good reason, beat them, and then have them wish you luck.
Spankety spankety spankety!
Also Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Subtitle of my Dick. It's fun, and good, and an improvement over the first (Tactics Advance, not Tactics. Shit's different.), but fucking
laws. I can think of a million better ways of implementing limits to fights being easy than the retarded fucking Law system in that game. It's not really like I have to regard some of the stupider ones (No basic attacks! Bangas can't do shitdick! No using the same skill as the previous unit!), because they're always on really easy scenarios or battles where it doesn't matter if I break them, but having a Law against using fucking Magic against a highly difficult enemy that is already a gigantic pain in the butt to kill is so retarded. Especially if you don't save after every fucking thing you do, because either you sit through it or cancel the quest because only the really,
really unfair Laws seem to stick, regardless of how many days have passed in-game.
The main character is astonishingly fucking useless, too. Out of all the races in the game, Humes (fucking guess) are the weakest. All of the jobs they have worth pursuing require mastering a disgustingly long set of abilities (The only starter classes that can earn more than one ability at the time are the Beastmaster and Black Mage, the former being exclusive to one race). There are five or six races in the game, too. I'm not sure if the fat Lizard Men ever actually join your Clan or just kind of hang around. I really like the Auction system, though, especially since I haven't spent any of the currency that let me buy tons of land on anything else.
It horribly fluctuates between legitimate difficulty and stupid law impossible bullshit without warning. Also, Laws only apply to you. If an enemy does something that the law forbids, no consequence. That's fucking bullshit, but I don't think they can revive each other anyway.
Henry Hatsworth is superfun, but each level is long. Incredibly fucking long. Long to the point where taking an alternate path in a level that doesn't lead to the next level warrants taking a break since starting over at the same level would pretty much ruin another chunk of your day.
