The transliteration of the original Japanese is E-a-ri-su, right? I'm pretty sure it is... I was reading an article in the New Yorker recently, about those "Eureka" moments. Supposedly they can actually be measured with an fMRI. Who knew?

I know i was playing Dark Sector and hit a spot that i died at like 20 times, got bored and turned it off. Three weeks later i put it back in and effing walked through it. I think i was just tired. Also, if i put someone on chat and talk to them while i'm playing, it helps me through roadblocks because i have some1 to vent my frustration to. :P lol good bloggizzle.

Who wants to complete a game in the morning though? It leaves you with the rest of the day to sit around wishing that GTA4 was perhaps a little more like Metal Gear, that the ending would last so long as to make it the evening once more. But no, you don't. You finish the game after a good night's sleep and promptly hit "New Game," starting the cycle once more.
