Piggy's specs were nicked at: 3:34 p.m.

I got Metroid Prime in the mail today, but I promised David I wouldn't play it until he got home from job hunting. Abadabadabhabdabha. Fuck. Nervous twitching, nervous twicthing, UNICORN! *Chases it.*

I've lost interest in Rockman EXE 3. Mostly because I'm rapidly losing faith and interest in the anime, which the story for EXE 3 is supposedly based on.

I wrote about the Rockman EXE anime after watching an episode or three. I said that I liked it. I did, because it was about the adventures of The Horse and his Boy. Rockman and Netto pal around in the early episodes, solving some crimes, generally being boys. And trust me, I felt Yai's pain when she was stuck in that traffic jam with a full bladder.

Then, out of nowhere -- "We're going to have a Net Navi tournament! For no particular reason whatsoever!"

Ooooh God. Why? WHY?

It's not the tournaments that are so bad. I like tournament episodes of Dragonball, for example. The elite fighters of the world coming together for a chance to show off their martial arts stuff.

But look at shows like Pokemon, Medabots, and FUCK -- Beyblades. Little children with no apparent special skills cockfighting their toys and pets.

Even that wouldn't be so bad. What I want to know is, what the hell is up with the audience in the afore mentioned shows?! I'd pay to see a martial arts tournament a la Dragonball's Strongest Under the Heavens. I might even pay to see some monsters kick each other's warty butts. But I wonder a lot about the world Netto lives in where huge stadiums are packed to watch some kids play Game Boy.

The "tournament" angle in the EXE anime was completely pulled out of an ass. There's not even a set of rules to follow. The World 3 (easily the most pathetic group of bad guys in an anime -- I'm not talking about the games, however) do everything just short of yanking Netto's PET out of his hands and jumping on top of it. Wait, I think they tried that in some episode, too. Yet nobody cries foul. Where the hell are the guidelines?! It reminds me of the X-Entertainment article where Skeletor and Ash are engaged in a Pokemon battle over a bottle of Pepsi Blue. Ash pulls out Pikachu. Skeletor pulls out Jesus Christ. Ash says to the ref, "That's not fair! Jesus isn't a Pokemon!" And the ref says, "Well ... how do we know that?"

I'll keep watching EXE of course. Hell, it's free. But I hope it gets its act together.

PS, those of you who made donations can expect your gifts to be mailed sometime around Christmas, or maybe a little later. The lineups at the post office are insaneville. I love you all, but not enough to die at the hands of some matronly mound of blubber in trackpants and haircurlers.
