Day 130: What's the point if the player isn't here?

Because I am feeling really sore from work today, I will be copying and pasting a portion of my personal life blog here in this gaming blog.  It is on the subject of the PSP games I ordered.  But first, I will mention that I played a few more of the repetitive games in Atari Anthology.  I marked them off, and not the total is 49 games on the list that have been completed.

Anyway, here's the bulk of my day in the gaming I do.

So, I guess you can say that I called it. I received the PSP games today, but not the actual PSP. And not because it couldn't fit in the mailbox or something like that. No, it was sent to Proctorville, Ohio. I guess the seller put the wrong zip code on it, or wrote it so badly that the sorting machine sent it to the 45669 pile instead of the 45660 pile. Luckily, there is no Conaway Road or anything remotely close to it in Proctorville, Ohio. If there had been, I think I would be out $90 and some lucky person would have a slightly used PSP and copy of Birth by Sleep.

I was so worried that I called the Proctorville post office this afternoon. The postmaster there noticed it and said that it was on it's way and that he even noticed the package today. This made me feel so relieved. Now my PSP is back in Columbus being sorted once again. I really hope that this was simply a glitch with the postal service's sorting machine and not something caused by the seller. I won't hesitate to leave a less-than-perfect feedback if the seller used illegible handwriting.

So, I read the manuals of the two Dissidia games and Crisis Core instead of getting to play them today. They seem like a lot of fun in the manuals. I think I may break and watch more gameplay of it on YouTube. It really sucks having them in my possession and not be able to do anything with them.

Oh well. If I'm lucky, the PSP will be here tomorrow and I will have something else to play.

Well, that's all from me for today.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 129: Old School

I played about a dozen games on Atari Anthology today.  And since they were repetitive, I marked them off the list.  This brings the total of completed games to forty-two.  That's 13.2% of the list completed.

And then I also played Final Fantasy XIII-2 as well.  The story is still pretty confusing for me.  All the bouncing back and forth between the times isn't making it easy for me to know what's actually going on.  All I know is that Noel and Serah are Level 32 everything, and I have used the same three monsters for most of the game.  I use Cait Sith for healing, the electric bomb for magic, and a machine-creature for physical attacking.  I have probably 25-30 other monsters I can use, but those three are my favorites.  Among my horde of monsters are three differently-colored chocobos.  I have Yellow, Purple, and Green.

As for where I am at story-wise, I gained access to the big computer building in 200 A.F.  I had to then leave the place because I need something that is located in some other time.  And that is something I don't like.  If I need something for a particular time, then it should be in the time I'm at.

Another thing, not specifically related to the game, but rather the whole time-traveling aspect in general.  If you are time traveling, why would you be going to different locations?  My thoughts on this would be if I wanted to go back in time to when the Great Wall was being built, I would have to first take the time machine to China, and then use the time machine to go back in time.  I couldn't just go and use it here in Ohio and somehow end up in China.  If I did use it in Ohio, I would go back to the time when the Great Wall was being built, but I'd be in Ohio.  And in order to see it, I'd have to go from Ohio to China, and that would take a long time.

To bring this back to Final Fantasy XIII-2, Noel and Serah shouldn't be able to go to different places by using the time thing.  They are going to places located all over Pulse and Cocoon, in different times.  It should one or the other.  A time gate in New Bodhum should only let you go to other times in New Bodhum, you shouldn't have access to Paddra or Yashcas Massif.

Well, I should stop ranting.  And so, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 128: Locking the doors.

Today's main game was  Kingdom Hearts.  I completed a few areas today.  First, I finished Olympus Coliseum.  After that, I went Deep Jungle or whatever the Tarzan level is called and locked that place all nice and good.  And then I locked up Traverse Town.  Sora, Donald, and Goofy are at Level 20-ish.  I think Donald is at Level 19.  Anyway, the group has learned the Red Trinity.  And I am finding puppies left and right.  Which is really good, because no one should lock puppies up in treasure chests.  That's just cruel.

I earned a couple more trophies for the game as well.

Other than that, I have been having the normal trouble of choosing what else to play.  I mean Kingdom Hearts is a good game and all, but it can get boring after a while.  As much as I want to say focus on one at a time and play until I finish it, I know that I will just burn myself out of playing the game altogether if I do that.  So, I have been trying to decide what to play as well as Kingdom Hearts.  I think it is time for another Atari Anthology day to get a bunch of quick games out of the way.

Yeah, that can be the plan.  Anyway, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 127: Episode I done!

I completed the first bit of stuff at Wonderland in Kingdom Hearts today.  Again, I was pleased at the music and the new color scheme of the boss.  I then earned a couple trophies on PSN, one for locking the door, and another for completing the Gummi Ship route.  I also started over at Olympus Coliseum and fought in the games.  I defeated Cloud as well.  I saved after the battle, so I am ready to take on Cerberus whenever I start playing again.

And some big news.  I finally finished Xenosaga Episode I!  It only took one attempt today.  I made sure that everything that could be useful to the party was used on the party.  Defend stuff, Quick, all of it.  The party survived two Dark Omen attacks!  When I saw that Sophie Peithos was down to only 2,700 HP, that was when I went up a gear from holding back and playing defensive to going all out and not caring who got hurt in the process.

And then the final cutscenes!  Oh, all of the feels right there!  I was like, KOS-MOS is seriously going to sacrifice herself?!  And then I remembered that wasn't going to happen because she is in the second game.  But still, the feels!

My PSP stuff is all on its way.  I should start receiving everything by the end of the week.  I am excited to see how a PSP works.  Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 124: Month 4 Review

I totally forgot that yesterday was the end of the month.  I forgot to go back and look at what I did over the past month.  So, I will do that now.

Okay, so last month I finished three games.  And two of them were games I had never played before!  And they were quite long!

Now if only I could finish the game that has been mocking me for so long.

In current game playing news, I completed the third Gym in Pokémon White.  Now, my character is in the construction site/desert thing full of Sandiles.  I went and caught one, because I figured I might need a Ground type in my party for the next Gym.  The only thing I know about the Gym is that it gives out the Bolt Badge.  I assume it is an Electric-type Gym, in which case Ground types will be best.  Especially since my party contains two flying types (Pidove and Woobat).

Anyway, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 121: Overwhelmed

Today was spent wishing that I could play fifty games at once.  That seems to be the only way I can finish the challenge.  I have so many games I am working on, and lots more that I haven't even started.  And then with real life stuff as well, it's like there just isn't any chance of completing this thing.

I try to stay positive and laid back about the whole thing, playing it off as if I don't mind knowing that I won't finish the challenge, but you have to understand that I rarely start something that I can't finish.  So, knowing that I won't be able to complete this challenge upsets me.  And when you get a game that no matter how hard I try to finish like Xenosaga Episode I, it frustrates me to no end.  That and Final Fantasy XIII are at the top of my list of games that I wouldn't mind using as target practice or frisbees.

And it doesn't help that the majority of the games I have take so long to finish.  Like, why do I like RPGs so much!?  Yeah, they have great stories and stuff, but they aren't really made for something like this challenge.

Anyway, tomorrow.  Tomorrow I am going to try my best to play as much as possible.  I don't have anything going on that I know of, so I will aim for finishing something.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 119: I am an idiot sometimes.

I learned today that I am able to go back up the elevator in Xenosaga Episode I without having to battle all of those Gnosis again.  That is great news!  It made getting my butt kicked by the final boss not as frustrating.  I tried several times today to win, but still couldn't do it.  Each time I made it to the final fight, but I lost when a sudden Dark Omen attack occurred.  I never had a chance to prepare for the blast.  If I could have guarded, I could probably have won.

I have made it to Castelia City in Pokémon White.  I finally got out of the woods in Pinwheel Forest.  Now, I will challenge the Gym, and hopefully move on quickly.  I am almost to the point where I stopped playing the first time.  As for my Pokémon, I have evolved a couple.  I have Servine now, as well as a Musharna.  There are also that a few should be evolving soon.

And then I spent several hours playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.  I did a couple quests, but nothing pertaining to the main story.  I joined the Thieves Guild.  Right now, my character is only at Level 2 with the Assassin job class.  I really like the experience system in Oblivion compared to that of Skyrim.  I think when I continue playing it (whenever that will be), I will try and work on the main story.

However, I am really wanting to get Xenosaga Episode I finished first.  I just have to be even more defensive than I already am.

Well, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 117: Dust Collecting

Today I played a little of Final Fantasy XIII-2.  I managed to defeat the flan-thing that Snow is fight when you first get to 300 A.F.  I somehow stuck it out long enough to defeat it.  And it was on the first try as well.  After that, I got two artefacts, and discovered two new times.  And then I discovered yet another new time when I went to the Coliseum.

I think that will be my main game for tomorrow.  I also want to try Xenosaga Episode I once more.  Maybe after these last few days of not thinking about it will allow me to win finally.

I am also starting yet another attempt at finishing the main story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Other than that, I spent the day sleeping.  I really need to try and catch up on my sleep.  Since I am still in the Pinwheel Forest, sleep will be the only thing I catch tonight.  Anyway, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 112: 112/1 Days

I tried to finish Xenosaga Episode I today.  And again, I failed in my attempt.  I managed to get Albedo's HP down to about 2,000.  I guess that was a good attempt.  After he powered up his Ether Attack, he one-shot KO'd Shion, Jr., and chaos.  It wouldn't be so bad if there was a Save Point right there before the boss area.  But no, I have to once again go down that elevator.

The only other gaming activity I did today was watch the cutscenes of 358/2 Days in order to get the six trophies associated with the game.  It was okay.  I still think it would have been better to just include the entire game instead of just the cutscenes and provide text of the story.  Oh well.

Well, I am off to play Pokémon, maybe.  I don't know.  The only thing I do know is that what I play will NOT be Xenosaga Episode I.  Not tonight, at least.

So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play?

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 110: Building a Team

The status on the Osu! World Cup hasn't changed since the last time updated.  There are still only 9 teams competing so far.  I guess the other countries are still trying to figure out who will be playing on the teams?  I don't know.

I played Ape Escape 3 today.  I am almost finished with the main story.  I am at the point of the game after Monkey Pink runs away.  Not a lot can be said about it, because I am not sticking around to hear the details.  The game is easy to play, and I want a quick win so I can mark it off the list.

I also Pokémon White against today as well.  I am getting ready to face the second Gym Leader.  My main party hasn't changed, but it will as soon as I get to a PC to get access to my other Pokémon.  Here are all of my new friends.

It was much more difficult getting these pictures to line up than I thought.

Anyway, I want to put either Timburr or Throh on my party to combat the Normal-type Pokémon of the Gym Leader.

And that's about it.  I am going to try and finish both Xenosaga Episode I and Ape Escape 3 tomorrow.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 109: A Little Walk in Unova

The only gaming I did today was while I was waiting to get my check at work.  I played Pokémon White, and all I did in the game was a few random battles in the tall grass.  I saw a Pidove, but at the last second Ticker (Patrat) got a critical hit on Pidove and knocked it out.  I haven't seen one since.

I learned that there are quite a few wi-fi spots near my location at work.  This has changed a lot since the last time I used my DS at work.

Anyway, my goal for the weekend is to finish Xenosaga Episode I, and work on Ape Escape 3 and Pokémon White.

I am excited to get my newest game purchases.  They should arrive in the beginning of next week.  And with that, I have nothing else to report for tonight.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 108: My first PokéLoss.

Today I spent the majority of the day playing Pokémon White.  Since I am able to trade and battle with others because my old modem works again, I picked up the game and started a new file.  This time I chose to start with Snivy.  I already have one badge.  Here's how my team looks right now.

Ticker (Patrat):  Level - 11  Nature - Serious  Ability - Keen Eye

Wrap

I want to try and choose moves that fit their natures, so I have been reading up on strategies and stuff.  And I tried to give nicknames to the Pokémon that fit their appearance.  Ticker because it reminds me of a clock.  Gauner is German for thief.  Bernard because of St. Bernard dogs.  Beowawe is a geyser field in Nevada.  Aspira is short for aspiration, a synonym for dream.  And Slither because it's final form looks like a snake.

I battled against someone today.  And I lost horribly.  Who was I to think that I could take on someone with three Level 11 Pokémon?  My opponent did play it out a little in the beginning by choosing to use stat boost moves and let me get a few HP of damage on their first Pokémon.  And then I got lucky that the accuracy of the move they used was low and I got to live a few extra turns.  But then it was one KO after another.

Tomorrow I will be taking my DS to work with me that way I won't be bored in the event that I have to wait for the materials to show up or for me to pick up my check.  I have the DS on the charger now just so there's little chance of the battery going dead while I am playing tomorrow.

I also got to the Monkey Blue fight in Ape Escape 3.  Of all of the bosses in that game, Blue is probably my least favorite.  I can never figure out his pattern of attack.

Finally tonight, the Osu! World Cup registration phase is going well.  As of the time this is posted, there are 9 teams signed up for competing.  There's Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Sweden now in the running.  I have compiled the stats for the teams, but I haven't done anything with them yet.  At first glance, it looks like Argentina and Poland have the best chance of winning.  But there is still plenty of time for some big powerhouse teams (South Korea, Japan) to come in and sign up.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 107: One more finished!

So the big news of the day is that registration has begun for this year's Osu! World Cup.  So far there are two teams entered; one representing Germany and the other representing Italy.  I of course, have started my analysis of the team members and will be making my predictions as more teams confirm their participation.  I am really excited, because this is the start of the competitive season and it will be my first competitive season.

Along with doing the analysis, I have thought about making a team intro video for the teams.  I saw one I liked back when the GTA V crews were recruiting new members.  I started on Italy's today.  I have it half finished.  I just have to add the other team members and then set some music at the silent parts.

In other news, I finished the main story quests in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  So, I am going to count it as complete on the list.  And after that, I started a save file for Ape Escape 3.  I have already captured Monkey White, so I'm about 15% complete in the story already.  I still haven't put Xenosaga Episode I back in the games cabinet, because I intend to try finishing it sometime soon.  Maybe I will find an online strategy that is guaranteed to work and use it.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 106: Creeping Along

I spent the whole day playing Xenosaga Episode I, and I still haven't finished it.  And it's not fair that I haven't finished it.  I got to the final battle once.  Like, the actual final enemy the party had to fight.  And then I died, and I haven't made it back to that point since.  The first time, I got to the final battle, and depleted the enemy's HP to only 1/4 of the original amount.  Second time, I could even defeat Albedo.  The third and fourth times, I can't even reach Albedo.

I am just overthinking all of it.  But it can't be helped because I am so close to finishing the game.  By the time I fight all of the enemies on the elevator and on the path to the final battle, every party member is at Level 39.  Now, to me it seems that is a good place to be, because the random battles seem fine.  It is just that I am trying to hard to think strategically, and my strategies don't seem to be working.

So, my plan is to take a break from it.  Maybe when my head cools down from the frustration I will be able to think clearly about the situation.

However, I don't know what to play in the meantime.  And it doesn't help that I put an order in for Pokémon Black 2 and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix Limited Edition.  Those two games should be here by the 24th of this month.  Maybe I will try and finish something I already have a save file for.  I haven't played Skyrim in a while.

Well, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 105: Why are the cutscenes so long?!

I have played this current save file of Xenosaga Episode I for over 47 hours now.  And after looking at a written walkthrough of the game, I can say that I am three boss battles away from completing the game.  After nearly falling asleep watching the longest set of cutscenes that rival those of the Metal Gear Solid series, I made my way into Proto Merkabah.  I had no trouble with the enemies up until those flying Demons came along.  Those take forever to defeat.  But I managed to get through all of that.

And then came the fight against Proto Dora and Shutz.  The beginning of the battle went well.  I had Shion, Jr., and MOMO as the battle party.  I managed to get rid of the Shutz easily.  I didn't have the Ether skills the walkthrough used, but my party was strong enough to not need them.  I depleted Proto Dora's HP to less than 5,000.  And that was when it hit the party with probably its strongest attack and killed all three of them.  That's when I stopped playing.

But I am so close.  Only 3 boss battles away from completion.  I just wish I could have finished it.  Those cutscenes though, they just sap the strength right out of me.  Why must they be so long?

And that was the only game I played today.  I had Osu! running on my computer, but I was only listening to music today.  The monthly competition is ending in a couple days, and it looks like I will definitely make the final leader board.  It doesn't matter that I won't be getting a prize.  Just knowing that my name will be up there for eternity (or until the Internet disappears) is enough for me.

Before I end this entry, I have a request.  I am in a talent competition over on EnixOrigin where the top prize is three entries in a drawing for a copy of the upcoming Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD game.  The voting for round 2 has started, and I could use all the votes I can get in order to advance to the finals (provided that this round itself isn't the finals).  If you could, would you go and vote for me.  The place to vote is here, and my name is me3lingual.  You only have one day to cast votes, so please go over to the site and vote for me!  I appreciate it!

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 104: A slow day in the Galaxy

The only game I played today was Xenosaga Episode I.  I somehow made it past the enemies that gave me all of that trouble before.  I used the Ether Skills of MOMO and Shion in order to get through it all.  And after all of those difficult enemies, the Boss waiting at the end of the tower was so easy to beat.

Now that I am in the third tower, I am actually scared of the enemies waiting.  They look so creepy.  And from what I have fought so far, they will only get creepier.  Bodies splitting open to reveal saw blades.  Ew!

I am still on the leader board in the monthly osu!mania competition, despite not actually playing for a few days.  I am now in 32nd position.  The overall rankings haven't changed much since the last time I played either.  I have a lot of new maps to play.  I think I will let them build up the plays, that way when I come in and play them there will be points available to add to my ranking.

Well, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 101: When I'm not playing video games...

I'm usually watching other people play video games.  I watch a lot of LPers on YouTube and Twitch.  And in today's entry, I thought I'd talk about some of my favorites.

First up is GypsyElder.  She is a member of a Final Fantasy forum I like to visit.  Watching her play Catherine got me interested in the game, and she also helped me out when I would get stuck in the puzzles.  She's much better at the game than I am.  She's conquering Babel, and I am struggling on Easy Mode.

Along with Catherine, she plays a bunch of other games as well.

Next is MageKnight404.  He is probably one of my favorite LPers on YouTube nowadays.  When I play Xenosaga Episode I, I almost always have his series on the game playing at the same time.  Right now in my playthrough of the game, I would be at his episode 94.  However, I am only up to episode 52 of actually watching his LP.  I really enjoy watching his live streams on Twitch as well.

And finally, I will mention some of my favorite series' to watch.  I like Josh Jepson's Fallout 3 LP.  It was another that I watch while playing the game.  And I enjoyed watching Donnabellez' LP of Katamari Damacy.  And though I can't stand NintendoCapriSun at all anymore, I really am entertained when I watch almost anything from TheRunawayGuys.

As for my gaming for today.  I work on completing Grand Theft Auto V.  Although for the amount of time I played, I didn't actually get a whole lot done.  I am 57.61% complete now.  I have finished all of the random events.  There are only three more strangers and freaks missions, and 24 story missions left to complete.  And it's only taken almost 31 hours to get this far.

And in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, I completed a few more missions. And after that, I passed a couple Clan Tests to raise my Clan stats.  I have each member of my party at Level 11-12.  Most have already learned all of the abilities of the starting jobs that I have access to.  I just have to find the items needed to add more advanced equipment from the bazaar.

Well, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 98: Rage Moment

I had a bit of a rage moment when I was playing Osu! today.  I kept missing only one note in every map I played, and so I would retry the maps.  Well, it became really frustrating, and I slammed both hands on the computer keyboard and broke one of the little tabs that elevate it to raise the angle of the keyboard.  So, now I am using some GBA game cartridges to adjust the angle of the keyboard to make typing more comfortable.  Why was I being so sore?  I was trying to raise my score in this month's competition.  I rank #29, and I am so close to moving up the list if I can just raise my score a little more.  The difference between me and #28 is only 15,588 points.  There is still a lot of points I could earn; 3,338,777 points to be exact.

In the end, I just did one of the maps that I don't have a near perfect score on, and I passed #28.  Now, I am 27,851 points below #27.  It looks like I will remain on the scoreboard for the rest of the competition, so I am not too worried about scrounging for the extra points.  I guess the rage moment was needed.  It had been boiling for so long, that it finally boiled over.  Now, I am as cool as ice water.

I played GTA Online today as well.  I am still ranked #6 in my crew.  I have 21,357 RP currently.  My specialty right now is racing.  And that's really weird considering I am horrible at racing in most other games.  I almost have enough money to purchase a house in the game.  I hope to do that soon.  My car is missing, and I don't know how to use the tracking.  That's something I want to do the next time I play.

I tried playing Xenosaga Episode I.  However, the battles are really difficult.  I tried different equipment to combat the attacks the enemies were throwing, but they are relentless.  And I tried fighting the Red King in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, but the battle was too difficult.  It doesn't seem fair that I can't use Black Magic spells, but the opponent can.  Oh well.  Maybe next time.

Well, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 97: A short update.

I played Xenosaga Episode I today.  Today, I just wanted to get the rest of MOMO's Ether Abilities.  I read about their locations, and spent a long time looking for them.  But I did move to the second tower in the Song of Nephilim.  However, the battles are really tough, and I keep dying.

I completed a few more quests in Final Fantasy Tactics A2.  I have a new party member as well.  It's that Adelle character who I don't trust.  I think she's going to end up hurting the party again at some point.

I wasn't able to play GTA Online today.  I guess the servers were having problems.

Sorry this is so short.  But I am not feeling the best right now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 92: Month 3 Review

I spent the day playing Grand Theft Auto V and getting ready for when online starts up.  I was thinking it would start at midnight, but I guess it's starting at 7am now.  That gives me about eight hours to get as much done with the story as possible.  However, I really REALLY hate Trevor.  I have never hated a video game character this much before.  The reasoning behind this is personal, so I will ask that you check out my personal life blog at TFF for more information.

In other GTA V news, I was invited to join a crew.  It is called the Bay Area Kings, and they have seven members currently.  I am surprised that I was invited to join them, because I don't know any of them.  However, it is possible that I do know at least one of them.  I just don't recognize any of their PSN names.  As for Ohio Moguls, we now have 18 members.  I have sent PSN friend requests to all of them that play using a PS3.  Anyway, it will be nice when online starts so we can see our play styles and who works well with who.  As for which crew I will make as my active crew, I think I will stick with Ohio Moguls for now.  But that may change.

So, today is the end of Month 3 in this 6-Month Challenge.  This month has proven to be the least effective in lowering the number of games I have yet to complete.  But it's my own fault for spending most of my gaming time playing a RPG.  Anyway, I have already resigned myself to the fact that I won't complete all of the games I own in six months.  It was pretty much impossible to begin with.  And now that GTA V's online will be starting tomorrow morning, I will be spending less time completing the challenge.

But that doesn't mean I'm totally giving up.  I still have three months to get as much done as possible.  My goal for the next month is to complete at least one game.  I want to complete more, and I will try.  Another goal is to finish some of the games I already have save files for.  With them just sitting there not being played, they're taking up room for games I want to play.  So Month 4 will be the finish what I have already started month.

Anyway, that's all from me for tonight.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
