Ah...February already. Pitchers and catchers are getting ready to report for spring training, my wife won't tell me what to get her for Valentine's Day, and I'm behind on my quest to finish 24 games this year.

I was only able to finish one game in January:

1. Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude (Xbox)

I actually played it completely through twice. The first time I forgot to pick up Judd Nelson's phone number when I found it and it wasn't there when I came back. While most people would have been happy with the 99% completion and moved on to something else, the little anal-retentive gremlin in my head wouldn't let me. So, I deleted the save and started all over. This time, I was able to get my precious 100% and move on. It's a below average game to be sure...I just seem to be a glutton for punishment and have a high pain threshold.

As for right now, I'm getting ready to restart both Saints Row 2 and Fallout 3. With Saints Row, I want to go back and do most (if not all) the minigames and fetch quests before I really even touch the story. Fallout 3 is a different animal. I like it. A lot. But for some reason, it just doesn't seem to be sticking. I spent all weekend starting and stopping the game. then it hit me...

I'm feeling retro!

I've got a 115+ day streak going on my 360, so I won't be giving that up entirely. But I think I'll be spending a bit more time with some of my neglected consoles, beginning with a runthrough of the (from what I've heard) excellent Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Which reminds me...

January Acquisitions
-Fallout 3: Lunchbox Edition (X360)
-Paper Mario (N64)
-WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$ (GCN)
-Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
-Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)

Well, that's it for now. Gotta get to work on making up that deficit.
