and you may say to yourself, my god, what have i done?

OH YES. Guess what happened yesterday?

I managed to get copies of the original games of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. OH YES.

SotC, I thought I'd get a copy of that eventually, but I have never, ever seen a copy of Ico anywhere. Except on Amazon, for ridiculous prices (I checked it out earlier - £45! o_o Although that's not as ridiculous as the prices I've seen for the Raidou games, and if I ever find those, I will be over the freaking moon).

I've played a bit of Ico (read: I got to the first save point). I find it weird in that there isn't a constant soundtrack - as in a score - there is, however, the sound of the wind, and birds, and burning torches, but that's it.

And now, even though I haven't played much, I want to draw heaps upon heaps of tiny (or not so tiny) Icos and Yordas (the image I currently have stuck in my head is of them sleeping (or just resting), leaning against each other. Because it's adorable, I am a sap, and I am already sold on the implied relationship thing).

I am also aware that SotC is THE most sadistic game on the planet. I mainly bought it for the scenery porn, the soundtrack (which I now feel justified in having), and the Colossi themselves (dang, they just look so furry that I want to pet them all. Is that a usual side-effect? I will never be able to even get as far as killing the first one, will I?)

And also updated my FAQ (which I've been doing on and off, I've just never mentioned it before): http://t.co/4CcU7gXz

Any suggestions for improvement on the FAQ are welcome.
