I've just finished Rhapsody (a musical adventure), now starting the Phantasy Star collection (GBA) while also trying to beat Sonic Dark Brotherhood. Animal Crossing is an ongoing thing which I play at least once a week (if only to get to hear K.K. sing)

I'm currently playing your mother like a fucking fiddle,

I'm using my lips and fingers all over her.

But seriously, I'm playing GTA:CW (explains my rash statement above, perhaps i'll email you later apologizing) brings me back to my GTA 2 days. Phantasy Star 4 was the best, but having three on one cart was worth it, I love the "New game" screen song from 2. I'll be waiting for the two new SMT games, one on the DS and one on the PS2.

Now meet me in East island city, those fucking grease balls in the mob have a huge dick backing them and he's up my ass.

P.S I just finished Rondo Of swords, the world ends with you, Castlevania OoE recently.

It's like this,

Win:
Top down arcade style like the old GTAs.
Camera is fixed from old GTAs so you can see ahead better.

Driving is easy as hell once you get ten taxi missions done.

You can burn out with a fast car and kill any cop on the back, but do it any other time and it’s an instant wanted star.

Drug dealing is the shit, I spent hours not doing the story till I realized I wanted the “Fully Cocked” upgrades and pressed on. But dealers always contact you with a buy or a sell, you’ll almost always have three, never anymore but sometimes less if you got a lot of dealers offering cheap drugs.

Pretty big city and pretty good graphics for the DS.

Great main character, fun missions, pretty good story.

Touch screen controls for jacking a car, breaking a lock, armng a bomb etc. Are really cool and add some fun to the game.

You gotta bash the cop cars in to loose em, it sound stupid but it’s fun not just running to the safe house to hide or look for the bribe pick ups, you feel like you have control over you getting busted or not.

I noticed some cool mission names like “Street Of Rage” and “Dragon Haul Z”

Fail:

Pretty much no radio, not the it matters much as I play with my Zen on.

Lock on in any way is a bitch but you learn to manipulate it on foot, in the cars it’ll always suck and lock on to everything.

Cars move at a fucking snails pace and to make matters worse there is a cop car around every corner. I think they did the flood the streets thing to make it look less empty, but I'd rather have more people walking around on the small streets and more cars on the big ones It sucks during a mission that you run into a fucking truck and that truck runs into a taxi that runs into a cop car that runs into another car. It’s that packed, to combat it “walk the line” most two lane streets are three lane if you have imagination. Still get annoying at the times.

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

Is World Of Warcraft (MMOs) a good way to meet a spouse?

May 6, 2008 by Micah Bleich

Dear Mercedes, I've been single for almost 4 years now, and I'm getting really desperate for some companionship. My friend met his current girlfriend by playing World of Warcraft, but that seems a little weird, even for me. Do you think playing online games is a reasonable way to meet women?

Short answer: No.

Is my girlfriend really interested in video games?

February 21, 2008 by Micah Bleich

Dear Mercedes, My girl says she's interested in video games, but whenever I talk about them for more than 30 minutes, she gets a glazed look and seems annoyed.

How can I pick up more women?

About Mercedes and this column:
So this traipse into column-self-worship/thinly-veiled-right-to-brag
has been a long time coming. I've only been in existence for 25 years
(and sleeping around/making out for about 11 of them) so I am sure many
of you are wondering what makes me so qualified to be giving anyone
