I'm officially done for the semester. Had my last final today and I'm finally free of my educational burden - at least for a month.

What do I plan to do with my time? Well a couple of you have made achievement lists for yourselves. I think this is a brilliant idea and decided to make one of my own.

1. Finish Okami. I'm 35 hours in at the moment and I'd say I still have a decent amount left to do. Hopefully I'll have a couple boss fights to upload starting this weekend.

2. Reduce the backlog. I know, this one seems impossible, but I have a plan. It might seem counterintuitive, but instead of focusing on the games that I have started but yet to beat, I'm going to begin with games that I haven't even started yet. High profile titles like Portrait of Ruin, Psychonauts and Zelda:TP make the top 3. My goal here is to enjoy these games as much as possible since they will be fresh to me. Hopefully that will spark up the desire to finish the games I've stopped working on.

3. Film a new episode of NERD ALERT (or two). I have a few ideas for some vids that I've been too busy to do anything with. I now have a solid month of no school and two whole weeks of no work to do something with those ideas.

Those are the current top 3 on the "To Do" list. There are a couple other non-gaming related things I have planned, but I won't bother with those here.

The basic idea this break is to game like crazy. I always go into the break hoping to do so, but most of the time I somehow fall short of expectations. Perhaps this list will help me in my quest?

Gamers United is now up to Episode 11. I'm very late in posting this but I've been having a lot of fun with it lately - I figure it's better late than never. Episode 12 will be going down this weekend, as well as a Year End special in the next few weeks. Intense.
