Anticipation..

It’d never been better for me since you left, its difficult for me to get any sort of mood while living under the shed of this dark cloud. The only moment when I feel better, is when you are there, chatting with me online, where I can see you with webcam via a pitching high latency between us, and listen to your lovely voice as I used to be able of doing so days and nights, right off my bed and before I sleep. Confused? It’s probably the most deadly disease ever discovered in the history of mankind, a disease that kill off your conscience. I called it love sick, and I’m really so sick now, are you feeling the same, my dear?

Anticipation, is expectation and hope. All the while, in one way or another, we will anticipate. For this very moment, I truly anticipated the moment where we will be together again, and no longer be seperated by the ever cruel villain, distance. Maybe we wouldn’t know exactly when, but I’m sure it will happened, sooner or later. Anticipation, is what that keep me awake, without anticipation, I would have already far ahead lost my once conscientious mind.

Anticipation, is something that kept everybody focused. Recently, we’ve known that Manchester United’s imminent interest in capturing Owen Hargreave’s signature to join the Red Devils before the transfer deadline. Every United fans anticipated the move, the players anticipated the move, even though Hargreave himself would love to seal the deal. Anticipation, might have keep us fresh and focus for the past few weeks, but with the transfer window closing later today, everything will come to an end. United had already admitted its defeat in signing the England International from Bayern Munich, who are determined to keep the frustrated and want-away midfielder. Anticipation, leads to frustration and disappointment.

So much about anticipation, I would like to share a bit of my anticipation towards the coming games that scheduled to be released in the 4th Quarter of the year. While the surprise element will sometimes resulted in unprecedented effects, anticipation for a game titles, is always something the fans look upon, and one of the most important element to drive sales of one’s console. With the summer break coming to an end, the gaming industry had ever seems to die down quietly but not for long, as we will always have the holiday season looming ahead, and I would gladly like to share my TOP-10 most wanted and anticipated title which I would be playing during my lonely Yule.

1. Just about every Wii title! (Wii) – Oct 2006
2. Final Fantasy III (NDS) – Nov 2006
3. Gears of War (XBOX360) – Nov 2006
4. Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (XBOX360) – 4th QTR, 2006
5. Gran Turismo 4 Mobile (PSP) – 4th QTR, 2006
6. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (NDS) – 4th QTR, 2006
7. Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy (XBOX360) – Sept 2006
8. Need for Speed: Carbon (PC) – Nov 2006
9. Diddy Kong Racing (NDS) – Dec 2006
10. Power Stone Portable (PSP) – Oct 2006

Indeed, I would have missed a few big name production in one way or another, but these are simply the games I truly anticipated, I would also had included some PS3 titles, but I wasn’t sure I will eventually get one, furthermore it had never been one title that really captured my attention, other than Heavenly Sword. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS would have top my wishing list together with Unreal Tournament 2007 for the PC, but with both game delayed beyond 2006, I would have kept those two away from Yule, just yet.

Some of these title would came out not as good, some will ended up topping the various game of the year award given by sources of one another. I really anticipating that these title will eventually be successful, just as so that I hope my anticipation towards everything else, doesn’t end with disappointment. Something, I could only now, anticipate, hope, and expect.
