Back at School

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for my lack of activity here over the last week or so. I thought I'd have more time over spring break but I spent almost none of it in front of the computer. I've got some time before class though so I'll be making my rounds after I finish writing this.

Spring break was good. I didn't do anything too exciting - mainly just hanging out with friends and playing Brawl and Call of Duty 4. I really didn't want to go back to classes after that but we only have five or so weeks of class left anyway so I guess it could be worse.

As far as school is concerned, it's not too bad. Nothing really out of the ordinary is going on. I have a calc test on Thursday and a physics test on Friday but as far as I can tell, neither of them should be too difficult. Of course, now that I've said that, they'll both be impossible but we'll see.

And for anyone interested, the book I'm reading for class now (and will have an essay due for in one week) is called The Celestina. I had never heard of it before this semester but so far, it's not bad.

Anyway, I'm pretty much out of things to say so I'll just move on to comments now.

Shadow:
Thanks! I just hope we'll be saying the same about calc and physics soon

Brawl is great but you've got two excellent games to keep yourself busy with. I loved Assassin's Creed and COD4 is fantastic (I'll be buying it at some point this week). It's just too bad you don't have them for Xbox 360 instead because I could find you online if you did. Oh well, enjoy them anyway - regardless of system, neither game disappoints.

snow fox:
A trip to Australia is well worth the wait for Brawl. Plus, we've all waited a couple years anyway - what's another couple of months? You'll definitely enjoy it when you get back though. It's worth playing if not only to see Mario, Sonic, and Solid Snake all in the same game.

Crystia:
Brawl is one of those games that's really hit or miss. I don't know of anyone who simply thinks its okay. The thing about it is that there's nothing earth-shatteringly new about Brawl that you couldn't have gotten in Melee so chances are if you were never into the old ones, Brawl will be no different. Though as I mentioned above, it is interesting to see Mario, Sonic, and Solid Snake on screen at the same time.

And I fully agree - nine days of free time is always a welcome idea. I hope you enjoyed your spring break as well!

SunfallE:
I've yet to play online with anyone from OB yet (mainly because i haven't gone and taken friend codes out of the Arcade Online thread) but it's something that should prove to be a lot of fun and make the game that much more worth playing.

Aaryanna:
It is At the very least, it's worth going over to someone else's house to give it a shot.

One-day:
You definitely should. I'm sure it won't be hard to find a display of it set up somewhere - it's all over the place at the moment.

And you are most welcome *throws you a little more fruit*

PhoneixClawth:
Those "little glass container thingies" are called assist trophies and are a new feature to Brawl. Basically, some other character (or characters) who are not main, playable characters pops out and helps whoever got the assist trophy. They're not always useful though, as I'm sure you saw from the Nintendog.
