I recently, abruptly realised that I need to get me a GameCube and my own copy of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Someday my brother and I probably won't be sharing living space, and when that happens I will still crave that game. It has a wonderful, evocative title, a female lead voiced by Jennifer Hale (actually all the voicing is absolutely fantastic, but I have a soft spot for Ms. Hale and for female leads), and the ability to enchant a shotgun for faster zombie-killing action - there is nothing here that is not to love. It's basically like if Lovecraft had Poe's writing skills, or if Poe wrote about warring Elder Gods, and it all got turned into the best video game that premise could produce. And then added the Insanity Effects. This game plays you. I like it. A lot. I hadn't given it much thought until the thought occurred that, someday, I would not have ready access to this game of beauty. That cannot be. Must try to get a Cube coloured different to the bro's so we can easily tell them apart. Also WaveBirds because I can trip on my own bare feet. (I have actually done this on many occasions.) No huge rush, because neither of us is planning to leave yet, but it's something to keep in mind.
