A friend of mine came to visit this weekend, and he got me hooked on this PS2 game, Katamari Damacy. Your father, the King of the Cosmos, has a bad experience with Ecstasy (that's what it sounds like when he describes it, anyway) and knocks all the stars out of the sky. You, the little Prince, must create new ones with your katamari, which is a big sticky ball that you roll around. You start off very small, picking up pushpins, matches, and caramels, and slowly get bigger and bigger, eventually picking up things like cars, people, animals and trees. The bigger you make your katamari in the time limit subscribed, the happier the King becomes. Each level is the same map, just at a different scale: First a room, then two, then the whole house, then the house and the yard, then the neighborhood, then the city. Then the world!!!!!
Very addictive. Naturally, the music sticks in your head worse than a telephone pole to the katamari. Luckily, there is a cure. ;-)

" No...It was indeed not a dream.
We really did it. The King of All Cosmos has really done it.
A sky full of stars...We broke it. Yes, We were naughty.
Completely naughty. So, so very sorry. But just between you and us,
it felt quite good. Not that We can remember very clearly, but we
were in all nature's embrace. We felt the beauty of all things
and felt love for all. That's how it was. Did you see? We
smiled a genuine smile. Did you see? The stars splintering
in perfect beauty. So many there used to be. Almost a nuisance.
Now there's nothing but darkness. Hee...'Tis but a dream...Hee...But
a beautiful one. BUT That miraculous fabulous moment has passed,
it's over. We came to and found everyone furious. Even the King
of All Cosmos was not spared their wrath. Really, everybody was
irate. So anyway, pee-wee Prince. Hurry up and bring back the
glorious starry sky. Our problem, your problem. Yes? You owe us
your existence. We collect on the debt. Yes? Hand in hand,
always there. Yes? The very definition of the father and son
bond. Yes? All right then get creating." - King of All Cosmos (AKA Marcel)
