Whatchu Waitin 4
In certain cultures, the number 4 has unlucky or dangerous connotations. Some folks associate it with death, while computer geeks associate the number with loss (as in “404″). However, this coming weekend and the week thereafter, the number 4 is looking to come up with alarming regularity. To wit:
* I’ve just picked up the core rulebooks for Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition, and will be reading over those to provide impressions at some point in the near future.
* I currently have four “active and new” series to watch: Avatar S1, School Rumble, .hack, and Veronica Mars S2. Furthermore, I’ll be starting Disc 4 of V.Mars.
* Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out on Thursday. There are 4 midnight launch parties at Gamestops in Pittsburgh (none of which are the store I pre-ordered from).
* And I’m thinking about taking a run through Wild ARMs 5 or XF. The connection’s not obvious until you realize that it would be the 4th Wild ARMs game I’ve cleared (I skipped 2 and 4 thus far).
There’s a fifth incidence as well, but mentioning it here would be bad. Anyway. I’m likely to be hip-deep in dice for the rest of the night, so I’ll catch you folks later.
