No news is good news
As far as good ole MState is concerned, that statement is true. With depressing things like the results of the first fall football scrimmage and Courtney Jones failing his high school exit exam, things were getting downright suicidal. All right, not quite but you get the picture. Well, things have been quiet. The team has been practicing, everybody that will play is on the field working out. No arrests, no major injuries, no suspensions, no players kicked off, no more players ruled ineligable, etc. Now, knock on wood this continues. Heck, let's all pray it continues, and while we are at it pray that the offensive line gels and plays well.
Seriously though, there is really nothing to report - that is other than the fact that I'm about to beat Super Mario Bros 3. I got it for my Nintendo DS (it's actually a Gameboy Advance game but those play on the DS as well). I haven't played this game in years. I cannot tell you how many hours I spent playing this game when it came out for the NES - still the greatest gaming console ever created - but it had to be a ton. I played it and played it and played it. Up until that point it was the coolest thing ever. Well now I've rediscovered it on the DS and it is better than ever. The cool power ups, the bonuses, the many worlds and levels - and now with better graphics and sound. The ability to save makes it much easier and less frustrating than before. I'm on World 8 with 30 something lives - in other words, Bowser is toast. It's just a matter of me rediscovering how to manuever through this level and then I shall kick his butt.
About the DS, if you get a chance check it out. It has two screens, one of which is a touch screen that is used by certain games. The graphics are pretty good, not PSP good but then again the system doesn't cost an arm and a leg. As I wrote above, it plays GBA games, which is a great plus. Also, the games are these small cartridges that you can save your progress on, so you don't need a memory card or stick. It's worth checking out as there are several old-school games out on GBA and DS, as well as creative new games.
