I actually enjoyed WRC a lot. It wasn't such a 'shock' like NLDC. Though I talked to a lot of people, i didn't actually make a lot of new friends. I talked mostly with the older members rather than the newbies with the exception of my local. I wish the conference wasn't in Victoria because then i could focus on being a delegate rather than an organizer (it feels different) and also because it feels more exciting to travel abroad. But overall I had a lot of fun.
My little bro bought (another) game for him Gamecube, Paper Mario. I was surprised that the game was strikingly similar to the N64 version. The interface and the graphics had a few improvements in it but basically it was the same game but different storyline. What's wrong with Nintendo? Where are all the new ideas? I think Nintendo isn't performing and innovating as well as it used to in the 'good old days' (when i was a young lad). nintendo is releasing their next generation hand held game system and when i saw it i immediately thought "Nintendo... bankrupt". But then i questioned my opinions last night. I thought to myself "why does nintendo not appeal to me anymore?". Could it possibily be that my tastes have outgrown my childhood pasttime? Well, Nintendo is known for producing games designed for children to teenagers because most of their games are all colourful and are extremely straightforward to play (not to menion the cliché ridden storyline). ...and I'm not into that.
Ok, i admit I am a young man and I shouldn't be wasting my time playing time wasting video games... i'm just observing some of my changing interests.
