Aunt CK Has To Get Away From You Monsters For a While - VGF

Codiekitty · 05-26-2005, 09:55 AM

Tomorrow, I'm leaving for DC for about a month. I won't be totally AWOL, I'm just not going to be around quite as much (and I'll be totally absent for three days). So don't go throwing a messy party, because if I walk in and find food stains on the walls, monkeys dancing on the ivory piano, and underwear on the coffee table, anyone I find in the area is getting a lashing, regardless of involvement. I will then proceed to beat Jay with a shovel for letting it happen, and he won't be able to update while in rehab so don't mess up the house.

I've packed along some a CD player, some discs, basic art supplies and the following games:

SNES:
Blackthorne
Contra III
Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures
Sunset Riders
Yoshi's Island

PS2:
Contra: Shattered Soldier
Crimson Sea 2
Kessen 3
Maximo
Neo Contra
Red Dead Revolver
Shinobi

GCN:
Custom Robo
Tales of Symphonia
Timesplitters 2
(Sonic Heroes pending)

GB:
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Gargoyle's Quest
Kid Dracula
Kid Icarus

GBA:
Advance Guardian Heroes
Astro Boy
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Wario Ware Twisted

Yeah, it's more than I can beat in a month (though some of them, like Circle of the Moon, I've already beaten), but at least if I end up hating something I can move on to something else.

Questions, complaints, concerns?

Gonna miss you CK.

But don't call yourself "Aunt CK" ever again. Please.

**L007 is Undecided** · 05-26-2005, 11:50 AM

Just a few games, there, CK?

Well, have a good time. I'll make sure to clean up after the monkies.

And I thought I was more like your half-cousin... on your... cat's side...

Glyph Phoenix · 05-26-2005, 12:24 PM

Huh. Well, that would explain the tail.

Yoshinator · 05-26-2005, 07:16 PM

You're going to be pretty busy with all those games.

Codiekitty · 05-26-2005, 08:29 PM

Well, I probably would narrow it down some, except I wanna make absolutely certain I'm not stuck with a few turds for a month. After Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Link's Awakening, I proceeded to muck through Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (garbage), Magi Nation (I didn't hate it, but I'd be hard pressed to give it more than a 6/10), Paper Mario (see my topic about it), Katamari Damacy (If there's one thing this game taught me, it's don't trust a first impression), and I can't say Wario Ware Twisted refreshed me* (I got it to take on the road with me, but when I read in the manual that it shouldn't be played in a moving vehicle, I decided to play it now. I could have beaten it in two hours. It's the best out of all of these, though, and that's a wee bit sad when you think about it). Seems I attract crap games like a crap game magnet, but something in that lot's gotta be good.

*Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne probably would have, except I only played it for an hour and quit because (a) Magi Nation totally monster catcher'ed me out for a while (though I really like Nocturne's method of turning enemies into allies), and (b) until I can get something through my system, I'm not playing through an RPG even if it's Final Fantasy 6. Especially one that's supposed to be over 100 hours long. And yes, I'm aware Symphonia is an RPG. I figured I'd save that one for late in the trip.

Hope you have a nice trip!
See ya in a few days.

Superyoshi · 05-27-2005, 04:12 PM

See ya, CK! We'll miss you! Have fun with all those games, hehe.

**Dylan** · 05-28-2005, 08:05 PM

I never really thought of you as "Aunt CK". More like "My Darling Beloved CK".

...Wow. She's gonna love this post when she gets back.

**Sean P Kelly** · 05-28-2005, 08:26 PM

^ Yeah, "Aunt CK" kind of creeps me out (especially since you are much younger than me)

Mr.Hammermap · 05-28-2005, 08:50 PM

Woah, Aunt? What crazed, sick idea of humor is that?

Codiekitty · 05-30-2005, 11:29 AM

So yeah, I made it to DC. Last night actually, I just haven't been able to get on a computer until now. We got in pretty late, and I looked out the window (nice view), and in my fatigue confused Washington Monument for the Statue of Liberty. I also kept thinking about the Empire State Building and ground zero, so I guess my exhausted head thought I was in New York City.

By the way, I'm an aunt of somebody older than I am in real life. Only a year, but...

Yoshinator · 05-30-2005, 11:38 AM

...it's still weird, though possible.

(Hides chimp behind her back)

What..? I wasn't partying....Really!

(Party hat falls out of pocket)

Romplayer · 06-26-2005, 02:47 PM

Well... and I didn't even now that CK was female...

Anybody else here being not male?

Oh, and don't hurt me
