Godot or Matlock?

godot_or_matlock.jpg...or an experiment of how many copyrighted properties you can cram in a single picture. But I've never needed more than 20 cups of coffee to snap a single picture from a video game. That's one of my rules.

The screenie is from Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City. My characters in this series have usually been formed through the ardourous process of "whatever starts making sense". The other day, I picked up a nice head-mounted display, got some detective gear earlier, and today, I managed to somehow turn the hair white. And to complete the thing, went to get some damn coffee.

Though since the Shampoodle girl misunderstood my "CRAZY" direction, I'm not sure if I ended up with Godot (as intended) or Matlock. Well, at least it's got plenty of that lock!

gamecard-20090201.jpgI got my Xbox 360 in December 30, 2008, and it's now February 1, 2009 - when my Xbox Live Gold trial was supposed to run out (but didn't, because I obviously renewed it =).So, (puny) 460 gamer points later, it's a good time to ramble a little bit on how a self-professed Nintendo geek has so far survived in the Microsoft world.

The short answer, of course, is that while it has been a little bit bumpy ride, in the end, I'm very happy.
