It's a little hard to type one-handed, so I'll probably mostly lurk. Thankfully it was really just a crack on one of the lesser arm bones. See you in 3-4 weeks.
(I'm not gonna say how it happened, so don't ask.)

I hope it's the left arm, that way you could at least play Wii games :)
3 - 4 weeks are well enough to get fresh cover ideas so look forward to that.
Get well soon buddy!

Yup. Ironically, I just got orbital from Play Asia. Besides menus, it's just A and B. Great game. If only there were 3 Wii games that I actually wanted, then I could buy 2 and get 1 free from Toys R* Us. Looks like I'll go insane not posting. So much for lurking. :D

*whoever came up with that should be shot

Orbital is a great game. And very addictive. I ordered Orbital, Sound Voyager and Dotstream from PlayAsia during their sale in Febuary. Unfortunately I was too penny-pinching and selected the cheapest shipping method they had only to see my order get lost on the way from Hong Kong to Germany :( Never had this problem with my previous orders. When I told them they immediately offered to reship them but as luck would have it the games were out of stock and they didn't know when the next shipment would arrive. So I got the USB LAN adapter for Wii instead and upgraded my shipping method to UPS without any up-payment.

I thought Sound Voyager was the best of the BitGeneration series but Orbital was just as addictive. I just hope your excitement will continue the next couple of weeks.

And you should be happy you guys have these "buy one get one free"-type of sales. I've yet to see such a deal from TRU or any other trade chain in Germany :) The best you can get here is a "buy a new console and get one or two games of your choice for free"-campaign.

I want to love Soundvoyager, but I can't figure out how to beat the second level.  :-[
Maybe I should pay gamefaqs a visit. I am glad about the sale, it's just it ends the day before Halo 3 to prevent cheapskates for that title. How does this matter? Dewey's Adventure comes out the same day. >_>

That almost guarantees that it was totally embarrassing. Hope you heal fast.

Yup.  ;) If you want, I can make stuff up about what happened. I was in a high speed street race and my car flipped over. I was too busy talking to Mr. Miyamoto to look at the road. I Did the extreme hokey pokey. I dodged the bullet and heroically knocked the gun out of his hands, so he pushed me into the wall. I was too busy cashing my billion dollar check to notice... ;D

Nothing to look forward to, at least as long as we're talking about American beer :)

You might want to check out Pheniox Wright for the DS. Very well thought out games that play more like a novel than a game. If reading isn't your thing then you should avoid it, but if you don't mind reading, screaming "HOLD IT!" into the DS frequently, and a wide veriaty of anime characters representing the justice system of Japan, then this is a game for you. All the controls in the entire game can be handled with the styus.
