Original GameSpot Version

It's that time of year again. After Christmas Shopping! And Resident Evil 4 for GameCube is nowhere to be found! I don't wanna rent it again... At least I bought Star Wars Battlefront 2. I don't even like Star Wars but it's still a fun game. My friend said the online play lags a lot on there.
Sony better make the PS3's disc tray better because the PS2's..well...let's just say there disc trays weren't the best. I lost my CD Lens Cleaner for some time now and when my PS2 reads a disc, it stops after 3 seconds so I was forced to buy another CD Lens Cleaner. I also bought a ceiling fan for my room! yay! ^_^

And I wasted 5 hours of my precious time yesterday after school playing through  7/8's of Banjo-Kazooie's story. I got ot the part when you beat Grunty's Furnace Fun and save Tooty. Then the Character Parade/Credits roll and banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo Jumbo, and Bottles have a BBQ. Tooty comes out and says the witch is still alive and Mumbo makes the face with his mouth wide open. I took a picture of that and made it into an avatar! Ha ha, now thats what I call "a kodak moment."
