Bits and Bobs

So first I wanna cite two awesome posts that were put up on Kotaku earlier today.

First some people over at SA produced a bunch of oldies/"classic" covers for games here. I love the retro look to them and the somewhat simplistic presentation, very cool. Also they featured an author's take on the Columbine shootings here. While the subject and issue has been beaten to death many times I found the excerpt a refreshing read and piqued my interest in one day checking the book out.

Also I found the title of this special unit rather humorous. This obviously means a zombie outbreak will be ensuing near VTech.

I am now heading out to pick up some stuff from Best Buy with a handy Reward Zone coupon. I aim to grab some more Microsoft Points and then pick up R-Type Dimensions which came out today on XBLA. I love shoot-em-ups so very very much. Although I don't think I am very good at them I am absolutely entranced whenever I play them. I am glad that I own quite a bit because the differing styles of gameplay amongst them offer such unique experiences. Oh god I have so many now that I think about it, they definitely end up working off however much you pay for them because you revisit them so much.
