For the past few days, Chris and I have been playing a lot of both Pikmin 2 and GTA: San Andreas. Both games are great, but they’re obviously doing their respective things in very different ways, and it always strikes me as bizarre that we’re able to switch so easily between killing hookers and planting armies of little carrot creatures. And incidentally, I love how talkative the Pikmin are now. We sometimes spend the last thirty seconds before sunset standing Olimar under the onion so that we can hear the little Pikmin sleep noises. And their little cave marching song might be the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.
