Pardon the snobby topic title. Just wanted to state that time flies but sound more original and intelligent while doing so.

I just checked out my last post and was surprised to see it talking about Patapon. It seems to me like it's been ages since I've played Patapon, yet I simultaneously did not realize that so much time had passed since my last post. In game-time speak--and please realize that I am a married 30-year-old with a full-time job who does not spend inordinate amounts of time playing video games--I've had the time to play through:

• the rest of Patapon
• LocoRoco all the way through (cuteness overload!)
• Final Fantasy: War of the Lions all the way through (strategic overload!)
• God of War: Chains of Olympus all the way through (radge overload!)
• God of War II all the way through for a second time
• Lumines II enough to get absolutely sick and tired of all the music and skins I've managed to unlock
• The opening prologue of Okami for a second time (the opening to the game, before you even get to start playing, is 20 minutes long!)

On top of that, I've had the time to once again grow bored of the games I own and start itching for something new. If I had an ulimited budget, I would stock myself up with the following to keep myself satisfied:

• a PS3
• SoulCalibur IV
• Virtua Fighter 5 (or, even better, Virtua Fighter 5 R if they port it)
• Tekken 6
• Street Fighter IV
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD
• WipeOut HD
• God of War III
• maybe FaceBreaker
• a new PC
• StarCraft II
• Diablo III
• Portal
• a new PSP Slim & Lite
• echochrome

Wishful thinking. Wishful thinking. But I guess what I've got will have to keep me satisfied until I move back to Canada at the end of the month (woo hoo!) and maybe get a new PC good enough to play some of the PC games I've missed out on over the past three years.
