As you may have guessed from the title, this is a gaming entry. During my EPT MC adventure I finished Lunar: Silver Star Harmony for the PSP. It was a well executed remake and enjoyable the whole way through. I've now moved on to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for the DS, which thus far has been exactly what I expected. I guess that's a good thing.

While running errands today I also picked up Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii, and preordered Starcraft 2 (can't wait) for the PC, 3D Dot Game Heroes for the PS3, and Persona 3 Portable for the PSP.

More importantly however, I also grabbed some cabling hardware to go along with the two SNES replica USB controllers I ordered prior to leaving. This all to the end that my best friend and I would finally be able to undo one of the most traumatic events of our childhood - that being Seiken Densetsu 3 not seeing an english translation or release. Thankfully however, several years ago some dedicated fans hacked an english translation into the ROM data and released it online. Thus, through the miracle of emulation and a laptop hooked up to my home theatre system, plus two USB SNES controllers, we will have a completely authentic experience playing through the sequel to Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2 in Japan). It is going to be a good time.
