With today's purchase of Dance Dance Revolution and Fighter Maker 2, my Collection now has 300 games! Of course, that includes the games that really belong to my sister that I planned on playing, too, and excludes the online/freeware games I play regularly that aren't listed on GameSpot because they're not deep enough to be considered video games... but STILL!

And yes, I know Fighter Maker 2 got bad reviews, but I'm highly interested in games with very high customization.

Ack, defective copy.

It's nothing big though.  Some of the music just stops a few seconds in and loops those same seconds of music.  Nothing that affects gameplay... except the game froze twice after beating this one mission... but that's over.

I'll probably get another copy... it's saved on the VMU, so I wouldn't lose any data by doing so.

Soul Calibur for Dreamcast is finally mine!  I found it at a cool game store at the place I was staying while being away last weekend.  That store had games all the way back to the Atari 2600!  They were in five-packs at about $10, if I remember correctly.

Whoo!

>_>

Yeah.

Just got Tekken, Mega Man Anniversary Collection, and Brain Age.  I tried Brain Age first... the writing detector thingy needs serious work.  It only accepts the number 4 if you write it the two-pronged way (like it appears on a calculator), and only recognizes the 7 if it has a line through it.  The font in the game does not show either number that way, and both are unnatural for me.  I also spent half of a 3-minute test trying to get the dang thing to recognize a lowercase A.  It usually read it as "ol".  Other strange phenomena include a k being interpreted as a w, and an l becoming an r.

>_<

So, yeah, people are saying the world'll end tomorrow. Pffft.

I hope it doesn't, anyway... I want my Web Games Union to see the light of day, and an apocalypse is NOT going to help progress.

>_>

Hmm, I wonder if they got that union-making glitch fixed yet?

*checks*

EDIT: Nope. *sighs* I guess I'm gonna work on a new banner... I just found a buncha cool Photoshop effects.

EDIT 2: Done already... that was fast.  Anyway, now that my page has 100% more HEAVY METAL, any thoughts?  <_<

I just found a trove of GBA games I left out of my collection.  Except Advance Wars, I just considered that missing.  So now, my only missing games are Tetris and Animaniacs for GB! Unless I'm forgetting more games.

Apparently, since in my personal information, I put "Other" as my country, it assumes I am British. It now says GameSpot UK at the top of my page. Mmm... logic...

EDIT: It's gone now.

My collection is finally complete! I even removed and re-added my 3 most recently purchased games so that section is accurate...

So... I guess I'm gonna start reviewing the games now. I figure I'll start with the games that have no reviews, not even an official staff one... so I can help... bring... reviews... to the world?

Whatever. That's what I'm gonna do. It may lose me this emblem, but I do wanna review... Meh, there's more to life than emblems. I think. >_>

Yay, I got 2 new emblems today for adding my SNES games to my collection yesterday! Ever since I lost that GameCube one for actually starting to add my other games, I"ve been hoping to get another... >_>

...and I still have NES, Virtual Boy, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Atari 2600 games to add! Woohoo! ^_^

In other news, this is my first blog post. More yay. <_<

In other other news, I promise not to put an emoticon after every paragraph (if you can call those lines "paragraphs"...)


EDIT: I just finished adding the aforementioned NES and VB games... and encountered the first game in my collection not in the GameSpot database: V-Tetris for Virtual Boy.

EDIT 2: Ooh, I forgot about e-Reader games, too. After those, though, and the GB, GBC and Atari games, that's it.
