The power of asking nicely :D

I emailed SEGA-Europe yesterday politely asking them where my prize copy of Shadow the Hedgehog is, and this morning it arrived express delivery with a note of apology for the delay XD Never underestimate the power of a polite yet persistent letter of inquiry.

So now I have a shrink-wrapped brand new copy of Shadow and I don't know whether to throw it in my closet, play it, or sell it on eBay o.o Decisions, decisions...

Edit: Okay, £10 on eBay isn't even worth it. So I opened the box, read the booklet... and now can I throw the game away somewhere dark and never touch it again? n.n;

Okay... I... it just... I don't like Shadow, you guys know that by now. I don't hate him the way I used to ^^; But I just... don't think I can bring myself to play through this game. Kinda wishing I'd asked for a different game instead, but at least this completes my Gamecube Sonic collection.

XD;

So... I... played Shadow XD For like... an hour, maybe.

Okay, first of all, it was pretty cool to have Sonic following around in the first level... but GOD his voice is so generic-hero ._.;; Bleh.

Second level... Knuckles, was it? Hi Knux! XD That was kinda fun.

Third level, AHH CHARMY PLEASE SHUT UP AND GO AWAAAAY ;_; I don't think I've EVER been so singly annoyed by one character... ^^; Wah.

Fourth level... Eggman... yadda yadda.

Fifth level, Omega. I keep falling down this one gap on the side of a platform, and it pissed me off enough that I decided to stop playing XD I'll probably go back later. I only tried that one a couple times.

Overall... I don't know how ANYONE can take this game seriously XDDDDDDDDDD Listening to the little starfish doomeye thing telling me which buttons to press and how to use various things... in his deep gravelly evil voice... just... cracked me up!! So... silly...

And Shadow is just tedious x.o I'm sorry, but the whole amnesia "who am I? I must find out!" thing got old pretty quick. That's not even a bash at Shadow... just that the game so far is pretty boring. Then again, I've only cleared four missions, and all of them on 'Normal'. Maybe it'll get more interesting later or if I took different paths.

So, score so far? 3/10 I think. Playable, but boring. Then again, I don't like Shadow, so I was never really gonna enjoy this game, was I? XD

~... to face unafraid, the plans that we've made...~

I was in a Seasonal mood today (only one day of November left, then we're into December! o.o), and I had 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland' stuck in my head n.n; So I ended up doodling. And Jei wanted me to put it in my LJ ^^; So, here it is. o.o (also an excuse to use an icon with one of my FAVORITE pics by Jei n.n).

Fff.... and now I'm craving hot oven-fresh chocolate brownies ;_;
