Sweet, right? I've been trying to find the game for over a year, and when I did, I found it fresh out of my washer. Shockingly enough, I could play the game, but couldn't save. If you've ever played a Pokemon game, not having the ability to save makes it practically unplayable. After Zach (friend), found both Silver and Crystal version at his old place (he was in the process of moving out), he rewarded me the lesser of two evils and I got Silver version. Unfortunately, I didn't have a system to play it on. My Gameboy Advance SP was broken by my sister years back, my Gameboy Advance was hidden somewhere in my mouse infested garage, and I was pretty sure my Gameboy Color was thrown out. After having Silver version for a week or two and asking numerous friends if they had an avaliable system for me to borrow, Samantha (another friend) found two Gameboy Colors lying in a white bag she had at the side of her room. She decided to give it to me. The rest is history. Or it will be once I start playing the game more fanatically. I have Rune Factory 2 out on rental, so I'm prioritizing, but trust me, Silver will get played. After playing the GBC for about, oh, three seconds, I realized not only was it not backlit, but even in sunlight, if held in a certain position, you couldn't even see the screen. It's stunning how old that made me feel. I've heard rumors of a remade version of Gold & Silver in the mix, but it turns out the box art was fake, and Nintendo hasn't confirmed anything about a remake. They've remade Red & Blue, so why not continue? It's hard to play an original GBC game when you're used to DS games. Damn you, Game Freak. Damn you, Nintendo!
Other than that, I've been fairly busy lately. It's been more with friends and less with resume finishing and job hunting and homework doing, but anything that gets me out of the house makes me feel stronger of a person. Anyway, Dad just put The Wrestler on, so I'm outie.
