ah yes, the snow day. all we really need now is for mark to move up to the frozen north and then we can all talk about how much we love the weather where we live and not have to complain all the time.
i think that it's great that in the south everyone is totally unprepared for the snow and so when we get a fucking quarter of an inch the whole joint shuts down. that's fine. it doesn't bother me even a little bit to not go to class/work/whatever and go and fuck off with my friends.
sure people can't drive in the snow. but for the most part, they know that and are too terrified to go out on the roads, so it's actually not that bad. the roads are pretty barren and people are being less rediculous on the road. i'm all about people not fucking my shit up.
so yesterday -- "SNOW DAY" -- i went to martin's. so we didn't manage any of the revelry that a snow day really deserves, but we had a good time. the suckers at tech were the only public school kids in the whole of north georgia who had to go to class HAR HAR. martin and i busted out his old magic decks and played a while then took warioworld to task. the gameplay is great, and the difficulty is scaling well, something that martin and i both appreciate, i think. it's certainly not as hard as it should be, what with unlimited continues at a paltry fee, but it's aight.
the one annoyance (and i'm gonna rant a little here) is the camera control. 'it sucks' is the phrase that first comes to mind when you play. but that's not really the problem. it's that for the majority of the game, moving the camera is completely unnecessary. and it's in those unnecessary zones that the camera control is worst. it's a pretty straight forward platformer without any deeply hidden items or action so you don't need to move the camera. as as result you can only move it maybe a quarter of a screen in one of three directions. what the fuck is that? i guess that the reason you can move the camera at all is so you know it's possible for the couple of zones where you reall need some more fine control. anyway, it's weird.
anyway, snow day ruled. snow day!
SNOw DAY!!
