Stop making me Crazy.

I shop at used game stores a lot. The GameStop near me has been having “buy 2 get 1 free” since December, so I’ve been buying tons of games. The thing is, I always feel like they’re judging me every time I buy something (usually many things). I’ll get comments like, “Oh, well at least…

A counterfeit GBA ring operating out of my car hole! Er, ebay!

I realize I’m a bit late to the party here, as this has been written about many times before on the net, and even Nintendo has their own site about it. Unfortunately, I never saw any of those sites until after I got burned. I frequently scour ebay for good deals on games, particularly handhelds.

First off, let me say that I love this game and had a fun time playing it. The first day I played it was for eight hours straight, so I must have liked it. However, there are no difficulty levels, and the game is way too easy! You can literally run through most of the game if you really want to, especially after you have feral speed. Even the final boss isn’t very hard. He’s certainly more challenging, but it still only took me three or four tries, and that was simply figuring out what was going on (apparently there’s a huge glitch on the final boss, but I guess I avoided that). The rest of the game is a cakewalk, and here’s why…
