If my memory serves me right, Nintendo does this frequently – announcing ship dates as release dates. And every single time a Nintendo game I care about is released, I stupidly hope that THIS time, things will be different. And without fail, I am disappointed.

As the years go on, I become more and more convinced that they are nothing but a pure and unadulterated evil.

But while I may be Spirit Tracks-less, I’ve managed to keep myself entertained, thanks to Spike TV and its back-to-back airing of Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2. I’ve never seen them before, and I missed the first hour or so of Volume 1. Now I’m trying my best to make sense of Volume 2.

Also, the frequent commercials for the upcoming Spike Videogame Awards are making me wonder if I should DVR them this year. I’ve never paid attention to them before in my life, simply because I’ve never viewed them (or any videogame award show) as terribly relevant.

Anyway. Perhaps some Wind Waker later. It’s my day off, I have to fill it with as much nothing as possible. I leave you with this for now:

Damn right you are.
