<Kojinka> When I saw this thread back on top, I was afraid this was gonna be another pointless bump by a new member, but when I saw Super-Jesse's username, my fears were laid to rest.

Only 30 minutes? You can't eat lunch when you want while at E3?

I hope they confirm whether or not SSBB will have online play.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Oh great, December third. My sister's birthday. My parents had better understand how important this is.
Oh great, Mario Kart's coming out in quarter 1 2008, same time period in which I'll be getting my license. So much for reckless home practice...
Oh great, Galaxy's coming first. I'd better have enough money.

I unwisely went on a Burnout Revenge playing spree the week before I got my permit. I decided to wait a while and let the "ooh, this intersection would be perfect for Crash Mode!" go away before I got behind a real wheel.

Coincidentally my sister's birthday is also on the 3rd of December.

My only burden with these dates is that I'll be in my freshman year of college, and can't have my Wii (or any other gaming device for that matter) in my dorm, meaning wouldn't be able to play them very much until the Holiday break.

In that case, I have a modest proposal...
Today's actually... nobody's birthday!  Quick, hurry up and make a baby!

Why on earth can't you have a game console in your dorm? My Wii is the second thing on my list of things to take to the dormitory, following my laptop.

A troublesome conundrum. My parents are acutely aware of my priorities, and studies come first.

I just realized how hilarious DeadAwake's post was.

Well then Kojinka, you'd better also get rid of your computer, friends, TV, food, music, lights, ....

i.e. college.

Okay, TV, food, music, lights were all bad examples because you do lose those at college but I played waaaaay more games and surfed waaaaaaay more 'net in college than I ever had before.

My parents also say I shouldn't bring the Wii until second semester, when or if I know I can trust the people there, and if I do good the first semester. However, it's more of an excuse since my parents want the Wii to themselves... but on the other hand, the school has a game room which includes a Wii as well as a 360 and PS3.

I get a computer, and I still plan on surfing the net.  But the gaming would have to be done on weekends. :/

What happens when you're on an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion run and someone ELSE decides they want to play Rockstar's Table Tennis when you get up to replenish your fluids? Having your own system would definitely be a plus.

^ That totally sounds like an ad.

Why are there so many people starting college next fall? Or is it just my imagination?

Because those can be big targets for the occasional ransacker... that is, if you're too dumb to leave your dorm unlocked.

No, I feared failing one class for a one week period in the last semester, which just would have delayed graduating by one semester. But there wasn't even a problem in the end. Now I have a degree which I do nothing with so far.
