Wow, if that’s true then I’m glad I didn’t make it home for Christmas. I imagine the flesh would have burnt right off mah bones as I crossed that city limit!

I hear you man, I’ve gone through the same religious and questionably legal (to me, that is) program in my academic youth and endure a similar enthrallment to repeated interaction with games and books and other such medias. I do confess that my wishful perception of “Heaven” did and does differ, and I feel slightly foolish for not applying your vision, something that I have longed for in this waking world, to my own idea of Heaven.

But, putting my agnostic convictions aside, I must say that there is nothing wrong with spending money on the same product for a different platform. I believe I once described it as…an enthusiastic exploration through the subtle perceptions of another? Well, something like that, it was years since I said it… But I feel I got the message across then, or briefly baffled someone in my rantings. To be honest, I’m not quite sure…

My, I do love to go on and on…well, to close: I hear you man (said again for no reason) – there’s nothing wrong with buying the same game for a different machine! The differences can revive that spark of interest that gets you absorbed in that game!

Nice post. As you know I haven’t succumbed to ports _but_ whenever I play a previously enjoyed game – e.g. Chrono Trigger – via emulation I do get a gooey feeling of nostalgia.

I think you become Christian the moment you drive across the Wallowa County Line whether you like it or not. Up is down, down is up!
