Christmas was a lot more fun than I thought. During the morning, me and Neko went for a few good rounds of Mario Strikers Charge on the Wii for the first time online. The battle was pretty intense where both of us keep hitting goals one after another to tie the match. However some of the matches were really pure ownage, where we own each other like crazy. During my ‘ownage’ I own my winnings on Neko’s low bat wiimote. During the final match he couldn’t move his players up and they ran downwards on their own. He then requested that we play “half-court” over Skype lol.

Mario Strikers Charged is definitely best played online

I do wonder if the proper team line-up (leaders and teammates) affects the overall performance. Both of us have experience a time where our players are literally avoiding the ball like a plague.

Before our online match, I was caught by a nice surprise. After booting up my Wii I received a new message indicator and opened up the message board. I saw two messages wrapped with ribbons and was puzzled. After I opened them up, I realized it’s a virtual console game gift from Neko. He gave me Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Snap for my girlfriend. Thanks for the great gifts man. Who says virtual presents can’t be great?

A great classic Zelda game for the Nintendo 64

Snap all your favourite pokemons and send to friends!

I then spend the rest of the afternoon with my girlfriend. We cooked lunch and spend some time together. It was really great.

I know that things can’t be the same as they were few years back but I will try my best to look forward. Don’t think the future will always be that bad.

And it’s the anniversary of someone very special to me. It has been .. 8 long years?

It has been a while since I update the blog and my apologies for that. For the past two weeks had been rushing for assignments (you would probably notice by now that takes up a hell lot of my time) which finally done and over with yesterday. My nerves were shot and I have decided to spend the rest of the evening continuing Resident Evil Code Veronica X on the PlayStation 2.

By the way me and my girlfriend picked up something real good this afternoon. I will post about it maybe tomorrow or the days to come. Let’s just say this thing will help me get ready for the PlayStation 3 next year. I’m pretty sure some of you would probably guess what is it by now heh

Well time to get back to gaming. On behalf of the OSiRiSTEAM family, I would like to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Game on!
