Do - just hide the spoilers - this is on my Chrimble list.

I notice some early reviews of Mario Galaxy reckon it's a classic. Christ I can't wait for this. Pretty much the perfect and most appropriate way to end what has been a really rather excellent year for video games. Bring it the f*ck on.

Amongst other shite, Yoshi's Story (N64) is out on the VC today.

I reckon this is the second best N64 game after Mario 64. I absolutely adore it, and it's the only game to have ever made me cry (it's the tune the little Yoshi's sing at the end of the level. Make tears in my eyes every single time I hear it).

What's awesome about this coming out on the VC is that as far as I know, no N64 emulator has been able to emulate it properly, and my N64 looks shit through the Bravia, so it'll be the first time since release on the N64 I'd have seen it without all the colours washed out and the whole affair looking grainy.

God it's lovely. If you've not played it, don't expect an action game like Yoshi's Island. It's a sniffing collect 'em up, like a surreal bloodhound simulator.

My remote condoms appeared today.

Ordered 4, have 2 remotes. Will anyone be foolish enough to buy them off ebay?

What are they like? I avoided getting them as they looked hideous. Do you feel like you have a better grip? Are they all squishy?

Not applied them, still going bareback.

They look silly (bit like a sex toy, bit like a showercap for the wiimote) but I'm finding them comfy. I played over a few hours of Metroid Prime 3 yesterday whilst wearing them and I didn't think to remove them.

Metroid Prime 3 is wonderful so far. I really am enjoying the controls - much prefer them to dual analogue. The game starts off not feeling much like Metroid (more like the original Halo), but that is mostly due to kick off the story and is more of a tutorial thing. Must try and finish this before Mario Galaxy comes out.
