Katamari Damacy cheats
OK, I didn't know there were so many levels of madness to KAtamari Damacy. I'm playing it over now, trying to unlock fabled Eternal modes, and discovered in the FAQ that I was apparently unlocking the Prince's cousins along the way. I didn't even see them! So now I've started a new game. I think it will be a suitable decompress after the somewhat stressful sessions of .hack. I like .hack, but need a little silliness. especially since I've discovered that Data Drain transforms some monsters into cute lil critters (a big-eyed "Dragon Puppy" in one case) that I have to kill in order to clear the level. ;_; hidoi!!! I've been trying to pretend they're Pokemon.^^;

.hacking my time
I like the .hack franchise. I really do. But I just took a look at the latest level 35 field in Mutation that I have to clear COMPLETELY, and there are at least a dozen monster spinny things on the field alone. And I am saddled with a level 33 Wavemaster (Mistral - at least she's fun to talk to) and a level 30 Twin Blade who's so terse that he won't say anything till he's DEAD. And Armor Evils. ohhhh how I hate Armor Evils. I can't seem to find a spell that works against them, or an element booster to withstand their attacks. The irony is once I'm level 44 or so, I will be able to dispatch Armor Evils with a flick of the thumb. That is assuming I HAVE any thumbs left to get to level 44.^^;

price hack-and-gouging
Prices for .hack//QUARANTINE are flippin' ridiculous on eBay. Most of them start at around $45 (original price is $40) - one bozo set his starting price at $106. $106! For a video game!!! And the bastard isn't even offering free shipping. Did Bandai set out to create an artificial shortage?
.hack// INFECTION is more fun than I thought it would be (I'm nearly at the end, but can't get past that blasted Skeith). Things were slowing down for a while until I finally got my Grunty. And oh, what happyfun joy the Grunties are. Not only do they provide safe passage to the dungeon, but they are accompanied by a jolly banjo theme that is so totally out of place in the grim setting (usually an Earth field, at night). And how they kick up their heels and fly. Now I want me a plush Grunty.:)
In addition there is a Japanese track, which I had to switch off after Black Rose started talking. too much Act-ing!!!, dear. Besides, Mistral's voice is fun and David Lucas, oops, I mean Stephen Jay Blum plays Sanjuro.
