We had 5 show up this year last year it was 10. At one time we had 50 or 60 come but that was a long time ago.

You scared them away.

My cat, of all the paces she could sleep, has chosen my pants on the bed. I realy don't understand her sometimes.

Mine always pick what I'm working on and plop right down on it for a snooze. Or try to get on the clothes I'm gonna wear. Usually those times when I have to be around the friend who's allergic to cats..... :\

Tales of Symphonia is an excellent game.

Let me put it this way--I don't own a Gamecube (I claim to be the best SSBM player that doesn't own one). But I do own a memory card, a Wavebird, and Eternal Darkness. Why? Because Eternal Darkness is an excellent game that didn't sell very well, so I want to have an opportunity to play it anywhere (at any Gamecube, whereas everyone has SSBM). Hence, I don't need to buy anything else, really.

The next purchase I'd consider? Tales of Symphonia. It's just that essential.

Then again, ToS is a really fun multiplayer game (fun single player game, but multiplayer is always more fun), and I haven't played Paper Mario (although I do hear it's good). I just don't expect Paper Mario to be an essential.

ToS is a fun real-time RPG--probably has the best real-time RPG battle system since the Seiken Densetsu series, and that is including Square Enix's SO:TtEoT. The plot is extraordinarily predictable, though. Oh well, at least there are two characters named for the brothers of the goddess Nike (Kratos and Zelos).

Generaly, I am the only one who plays, so mutli-player tends to be out, but it's good to know. And predictable plot doesn't make a game any less fun, it's how it plays, and it's good to hear it plays well. Probably my next pickup. That, or the Zelda Collection (Rare find, but it's out there)

She loves my bed, or my office chair in the bedroom. It's nice to have her in the room, so i don't mind when I sleep durring the day. At night though, she likes to try to wake people up around 4-5 in the morning so she can go out, so that gets old fast.

And her sleep on clothing is only a recient thing she's picked up.

Well, it's a lot less fun if you only have one person, but you could probably get by playing just Lloyd. The real trick is winning solo in the colisseum with Raine (the healer) . Also, you may need to mess with the instructions to Raine's AI to keep her from wasting all her MP healing everyone to full against easy monsters. What you can do is assign hotkeys for the spells you want the other characters to use, though it works better with a real player--have the cat help

She tries to help, though it's more her trying to get me to scratch her by rubbing my hands while I'm working the controller. She has toyed with a controler once, so maybe...

Very addictive. And, I think, better than Civ III (and probably IV). I just didn't like what they did to the game when Civ III came out.

I still enjoy a game of Civ I every once in a while (and that I have CivNet makes it all the better).

Ironically I meant Civ III and mistyped.

Honestly, a cat could play Raine better than the AI (based on B. F. Skinner's experiments to get rats to hit buttons for food), though the AI does a pretty good job for the non-casters, at least as far as not being suicidal. A cat might be able to do Genis too if you don't have the ability to speed-cast by tapping the button rapidly, but she might not use the right element of magic for the boss you're fighting .

That's gonna be a hard thing to do. Make a Will save, please.
