First comes love, then comes...

Rage. Truckloads of it?

I write here whilst I should be studying, and yet this blog is so alluring.
I'm not going to write about what I SHOULD be doing though. That would be silly.

What a horrid first blog entry. I feel like I should be writing something interesting here.

Oh! I know! The new Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is currently being translated (or is it out already in the US? I don't know)
And if it comes out in Aus and doesn't receive as much publicity as it should (which it WON'T), I will get very cross. Because JB Hi-Fi is a joke. Well, they aren't, but the staff there are always useless. ALWAYS. I stood in front of a bunch of DS games once, someone came up asking if I needed any help. I mentioned that I was looking for a game (Trials and Tribulations, IT DOESN'T EXIST HERE. WHAT) and where did he start looking? The same stand i'd been looking at for the last TEN MINUTES. How stupid can he have thought I was? (More importantly, how stupid was he?)

And that touches on another issue I want to rage about. Phoenix Wright never gets any love here. I asked EB games once if they had Trials and Tribulations, the person didn't even know it existed. She thought Apollo Justice was the ONLY Attorney game in the series (Come on! It's freaking FORTH AND IT'S A RIPOFF GUYS. GET A BRAIN)

Goes to show, something becomes the slightest bit old in our age of technology and a shelf-life of six months, and everyone forgets it ever existed. It takes real skill to remain a popular game for more than a year (Good job Halo, but don't think spin-offs can prolong the fame. It'll only get worse from here.)

Okay, i'll stop complaining for now. Dinner's starting to smell pretty nice.
