It's not the size that matters...

I finally got my grubby little hands on a Game Boy Micro. Today I bought a silver Micro and I must say, it is pretty darn cool. Now, I am not really a Game Boy person. I hardly have any games for the system, and I lost one of my two favorite games. So I have been playing Sonic Advance 2 on this bad boy (On a side note, buy SA2, it is so fricken awesome. Oh and the game I lost was WarioWare Inc MMG)

The first thing you will say when you lay eyes upon it is, "Wow, that thing is small, and I swear it keeps getting smaller."

And when you look at the Micro your reaction will be pretty similar. Being the smallest Game Boy yet, this thing is pretty tiny. They got rid of the "clam shell" design of the SP and it has a design reminiscent of the original Advance. Because of this, one major problem that the SP had has been solved. The size of the SP made it uncomfortable at times and it gave you a cramped feeling. The Micro feels more like a game controller, specifically a SNES one.

Also the Micro has a brighter screen than the SP (or at least the old one, a new brighter SP has just been released.) While the screen is smaller it appears to be much more clear and sharp. Another change is that the buttons have a springy and soft feeling, instead of the clicky feeling. The Micro also lacks backwards compatibility with previous version of Game Boy games (Original GB games, and GB color games) To me this is not a problem in the slightest, however to others it might be. If this is an issue, this is one area the SP has a definite advantage.

Overall, I'd recommend the Micro. If you don't have an SP it shouldn't even be a question. And even if you do I still recommend it.

You know, moms (Part II)

Ok, I apologize. I haven't posted in a quite some time and when I have the posts sucked. Well my posts always suck, but now it is like "Kirby earning money through indecent means" level of suck. Without going to in depth school has been equivalent to jamming a rusty crowbar up my urethra. But I will try to post more.

Luckfully I hope by the end of this week, or perhaps even later today I will have a Game Boy Micro. I will try to do a little write up on this and can hopefully post it by the end of the week. And in case you were wondering why this post is titled what it is, here is a video of a kid who needs to be beaten with a burlap sack full of nails. Or given some mother effin chocolate milk.

Lacuna or later

Keeping up with all the latest SMBC updates Zach Weiner has sent out an email saying

Fuck it, SMBC is back.

So I have removed the "No longer updated" tag so you all know to visit his site for his daily updates. I am very happy he is writing SMBC again and I hope it doesn't go on hiatus again.

On the note of site changes I hope you noticed under "Tech stuff" I have added a little code that links to my last 5 dugg stories.

And because I have no material to make this a humorous post I whipped up a little some with the help of Google Image search.

Enjoy.

P.S.- I know that whole quote thing is over kill, but it just looks so nifty.
