Seems like just a year ago I was posting about having hit 800, and here I am celebrating 1000. I was out with a friend seeing what the various local Gamestops were offering during their big yearly sale and didn't even realize I had hit 1000 until I was nearly back to the car. Fitting that it should end up being an old-school hack-n-slash (click-n-slash?). I had a demo for the first Diablo back when it came out, but my computer at the time just couldn't handle it. I'm pretty sure that won't be an issue now.
I'm a big fan of statistics so what better time than this momentious occasion to have my database crunch some numbers.

Nothing terribly surprising to me, though I didn't realize I had enough Konami/Capcom stuff to make the top 5. In May Atlus will surpass Nintendo as my top Publisher.
If you curious about anything, just let me know. This was the easy stuff and I should have enough data to do quite a bit of stuff with.
