I'm pretty much exactly in the same place I was last week, gaming-wise. I spent the first half of the week flinging myself at Meta Ridley over and over; I finally beat him when I figured out I could just cheese him off with my Wave Buster once he went to melee form. After that, I was flinging myself at Metroid Prime instead.

I haven't played as much over the weekend as normal--I think I'm just slowing down a little, which was inevitable, I guess. I'm going to try to keep going at a sustainable level... In other words, I don't want to burn myself out totally on games again, so I'm going to do my best to keep it fun.

That, and I distracted myself this week with some shiny Sentai stuff. I don't feel bad at all about spending money on those, because I could literally play video games for free for at least a year and maybe two. After I finish Okami and Metroid Prime, I could play Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XII, Ninja Gaiden, Soul Calibur III, Gran Turismo 3... and that's without dipping into my antique systems to play CV Bloodlines & etc. I don't see any reason I need to spend more money on games to have fun for the near future. To be honest, it might be better if I didn't, so I can finally finish some of those old games.

My plan is to finally beat Metroid Prime this week, before my eBay haul gets here and I need to shoot photos for the other blog. If I have game time left, I'm not sure what I'll do with it; probably Okami, I don't want to lose my place on that.
