Okay, not really Uru Mario... But you'll see why I picked that!

So I'm actually trying to keep up with the new Uru storyline Cyan's got going. The whole premise was kind of cliche, you know, the whole: "The D'ni Restoration Council (DRC), often criticized for being "overly cautious," is stunned when their caution and control is unable to save the life of someone very close." Yes, as if killing a loveable character isn't something everyone does already? It sounded kind of lame. "Look! Even though you're so cautious, they still died, shame on you."

But enough of that! I've been following the story using the page on MystLore. I have actually been rather enthralled and obsessed with refreshing and reading all the related articles to get the big picture. I wasn't expecting anything else "major" to happen lastnight, but they proved me wrong. Still, I'm very much looking forward to the Age being released tomorrow more than anything else, and will be the deciding factor on if I keep paying money for Uru (since I don't use GameTap, I'd rather play games off the CD). But I think the story's actually starting to shape up into something worth following!

I also wish MystLore would have a sort of RSS feed that'll tell me about every article that's been modified. Sure, there's the news feed thingie, but that doesn't look like it's updated with everything. Something like this wouldn't at all work with Wikipedia, being so gargantuan, you'd kill your connection with RSS updates... But a specialized wiki like MystLore or Memory-Alpha, I could use something like that! Dunno... Maybe someone'll figure out how to do that. It would be the ultimate way of keeping up with Uru story, since even though they're releasing content as episodes, there's still nothing for it but to sit and idle in the cavern all day, waiting for something exciting to happen, and I'm not going to do that. Someone else with time to kill can do that.

And speaking of story, remember Super Paper Mario? That game the UK peoples were importing to play on their modified PAL Wiis and blew them up? Well, people are whining about it again, only this time, about the game itself.

Paper Mario used to be RPGish. You know, turn-based combat and a storyline. Well, this time, Super Paper Mario is more like... 3D platformer with a storyline, only this time, people are complaining that there's too much reading. Haha, excuse me? Too much reading? Like, are you serious? You realize it is DESIGNED to be like a book, right? The whole PAPER thing? Chapter 1? Chapter 2? Honestly, if you don't want to read the storyline, fine, don't read it, but if it's really bothering you that much, then maybe Nintendo isn't right for you. Nintendo likes to focus on story and gameplay. Might I suggest some action-thriller movies for those of you who despise storylines? I hear the movie Stealth is particularly thrilling with no story. Or maybe Doom? Yeah, see, there's plenty of nasty, awful stuff out there for you unintellectual types. Stop whining to people who don't care and just go away. Not everyone is entitled to hear your opinion with such depth and contempt. You don't like the reading, fine. Wonder if you've made it through any classic novels before.
