On a Roll


I know you guys all think I'm a pretty cool guy... and it pains me to shatter those illusions, but every once in a while, it's necessary for me to roll over and expose my soft, nerdy underbelly. This is one of those times.

I come to you today to bring you news of what's pretty much the funnest thing ever. It's a game for the Playstation 2 called Katamari Damacy. In the game, you're the little, green, oblong-headed Prince of the Cosmos. Your Father, the King of the Cosmos, has accidentally destroyed all of the stars in the sky, and it's your job to replace them. You do this by pushing around a ball that picks up everything it rolls over. When a ball gets big enough, the King releases it into the sky, and it becomes a star. Simple, no? As the Katamari (as the ball is called) gets bigger, you roll up bigger and bigger things, starting with thumbtacks and dice at the beginning of the game, and going all the way up to stadiums, islands, and rainbows at the end.

It's a ferociously original idea, and the whole affair is so impossibly adorable that it'd be totally engrossing even if it wasn't ridiculously fun to play, but oh my god, it's so ridiculously fun to play.

I honestly can't imagine somebody not having oodles of fun playing this game. If there is such a person and they are in your house, you need to leave immediately and call the police from a neighbor's phone.

If you have a PS2, buy this ASAP. If you don't, find someone who does and make them buy it. Maybe we'll have a KD party at greenideas HQ. That'd be hott.

I've heard about this game somewhere else, it seems like it'd be narcotically addictive. However, let's talk some more about LOANS, Matt. You need them and you know it. Don't try to pretend otherwise.
