Welcome to Modojo, 
Got some time I can have ???

It's interesting that as of late, I've been catching up on the 2005 season of Doctor Who. I caught an episode of the show on the Sci-Fi channel late one night, and I knew that the series was something I wanted to see. Christopher Eccleston is a stellar actor, and well ... time travel is way cool. I latch on to so many time travel movies and shows, and more often that not I'm dissapointed. Luckily, Doctor Who isn't a dissapointment at all ... I encourage every living human being to go watch it, and enjoy some high class television, or maybe telly ... I don't know all that UK jazzarazz. However, it's totally uncool that he's been replaced ... I haven't seen the new Doctor Who yet, but I will ... and I hope it's just as good.
Anyways, it's interesting because in fact, I have almost no time to myself these days. I've been working 4-5 days a week at the ol' hoagie shoppe (Subway), I've been writing non-stop for Mo..., and I'm getting ready to go back for my upcoming fall semester. I'm glad I'm really excited to be doing two of those things; I love school, and there's not really any negative in writing for Modojo, because the feeling I get when another of my articles gets published can only be described as ... zen.
Look out for the DS Homebrew feature this week, and you might understand why my writing takes up a load of time. Hopefully, I'll be picking up some previews and reviews in the next week, and I won't have any time to grow stale. So with all my time spent pounding the keys, what have I gotten the chance to play? Well, not much ... but I recommend the following absolutely:
- The Dead Rising demo is insane fun. I'll be picking it up for sure, but maybe at a slightly lower price than $60. Their seems to be a lot of enjoyment in the title, but not necessarily $60 worth ... I'm stingy.
- The Ninety-Nine Nights demo is also insane fun. I know the game has some issues, but it can be found for $40 at release, so you can chalk those problems up to it being a budget 360 title. I will be picking this up, well as a matter of fact, I already have. Pre-order FTW!
- Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting on Live Arcade is the hardest game I've played in years, or maybe I just suck. Seriously, I could make my way through the arcade mode in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the hardest difficulty with relative ease (thank you Cable, Sentinel, and Tron Bonne) but SF2 arcade mode? Not one mother****ing victory. WTF?? I've played over 50 online matches as well ... I won 10. Where did all my skills go? I suppose I gave them away when I started playing so many damn Final Fantasy's. *sob* I still have to recommend the game though, because as much as it owns me ... I'm obviously still playing.
So in conclusion ... well, Cat-Eye Boy vs. Poop Monsters ??? Just watch it.
