Video Games?

Pre-purchasing means I have paid for it and once it's released

No. You paid in advance. The vendor didn't want to use that term because it sounds like he gets something while you get nothing; which is true.

Getting drilled is way ahead of getting screwed.

Well I just got Sniper Elite V2 for PC. The graphics are amazing...or maybe that's just my PC...

What's really been keeping me Busy is Travian and OGame.

Lately I've been buying the Wii's "Nintendo Select" series-- most recently bought the "Mario Super Sluggers" and "Mario Strikers Charged." I also just adore downloading old, nostalgic games from my childhood-- the other day I played a couple of hours in "Blaster Master." I haven't played that game in it seems like twenty-and-some-odd years.

I played Super Metroid back in the day...And they have it as a downloadable game for the Virtual Console. Earthbound...It sounds so familiar (I might have rented it back in the day or played it at a friend's house). However, this one isn't available as a download. But check out the price at Amazon...Used copies of Earthbound are going for hundreds of dollars!

Quite glad you've played Super Metroid. It is the SNES classic which stands to this day--I hear people rave about Link to the Past but the game's puzzles lack complexity. It doesn't satsify me.

Earthbound on the other hand is a very quirky RPG. Imagine America if there was a megalomaniacal alien trying to take over the world, only you and a group of other psychically gifted children were all that stood in its way and a team of Japanese writers coming off a high wrote it. If you've played Super Smash Bros you've seen the main character of the game: Ness. I'm not one to encourage illegal activity but you can easily find a SNES emulator and an Earthbound ROM. Very much worth it. It also has a sequel: Mother 3. Earthbound is actually the second of the series. Mother is the name for the series in Japan.

Don't know if anyone is interested. But I've joined an online racing association, and it has a way for you to watch when I race. The race events utilize Forza Motorsports 4. Witch I'm an avid player of. And I'm exited to get some real racing in.

So if you are interested, just search this for what series I will race in, and when I'll be racing. http://www.theonlineracingassociatio...pionships.html

My soonest race will be the NA TCC on Tue. at 6pm PST. If anyone cares to watch. Though I'm not sure if that series is covered or not. It's relatively new.
If not, you can always catch me racing in the TORA 24 hours of Le Mans from 6am Sat. June 30th - 6am Sun. July 1st PST.
Now I won't be runing the entire 24 hours (thank goodness), and I don't know as of yet witch stints I'll be running. But I will be in the race.
I'm excited!
