Class.

It's "Prinny", not "Priny" and I myself wouldn't use "2.5D" in order to describe its graphics. Really thought you'll be reviewing this soon after its release!

I would have if I had my PSP with me. The problem with me is that I travel a lot, and videogames do not really lend themselves to this kind of life. You really need to have a permanent residence somewhere to get the most out of gaming. Now, granted, the PSP is a handheld and I could just be carrying it around with me, but then I would have had to order games from Play-Asia and get them shipped to hotels, for example, so the whole thing is really not very convenient. In fact, since all I have with me right now is a MacBook, I haven't even played anything since November (I can't be bothered to find out how emulation works on a Mac).

Too bad. Any plans to go back to a more conventional gaming habits soon?

[icycalm]

Difficult to say. I am wrestling with this issue right now. I think that if I settled down anywhere for more than a couple of months at a time I'd get depressed.

What kind of job do you have? And do you get depressed because of the sameness of experience?

[icycalm]

I haven't had what people call a "job" for years: I already have more money than I need. As for why I get depressed: out of boredom, mainly. It's a long story.

How did you/do you get money?

[icycalm]

I rob banks.
