I have been playing Shenmue for over sixteen hours straight! I...can't...stop...playing... I didn't go to class today, I'm really far behind in my classes as it is, and now this?! Why couldn't he have a made a worse game? It's just perfect, though. I enjoy waking up and going to work and then at night hunting for clues as to who killed my father and why. <sob> I saw the commercial for it a couple days ago (while I was still away from my Dreamcast, and had yet to play it), you know, the one with the guy speaking to a psychiatrist or someone about how he WAS Ryo Hazuki? Well, at the time I thought that commercial was silly. Now, I understand and am absorbed myself. Maybe if I stop playing now, the end of the game can be my reward for finishing my homework...
