I'm going to take a break from ranting and complaining today. Instead, I'm going to ramble like a lonely widow about the silly thing I tried to attempt last night.
As you may or may not know, I am literally addicted to video games. And hell if I'm going to seek help. If I see a video game in the store that I desperately want, God himself could not stop me from buying that video game. Now, that means I have a pile of games I've beat, and an even bigger pile of games I have not beat (keep in mind, not all my games are in my online collection. there's about 137 games in there, but I have about 180, really.)
So last night, I was alone with Note, and I had an idea. I'm going to play every single video game I haven't beat yet! I'll just play to the first save point, I think. then move on. I'll just start every single one. Just so that I can gauge them and decide what I want to play from there on out.
Now, I have all my games organized--and these are the only things in my life that are organized--by both system and alphabetically. I have ps1 games, then ps2, ps3, then xbox, xbox 360 (since I just got my wii and have only 4 games, I won't be counting those) then up above those I have organized psp and ds games (I ran out of space :( and that's not even all my games)
Because there's only one ps1 games I haven't played yet (parasite eve, I bought it a few weeks ago) I started with ps2 games. I got to Dirge of Cerberus before I decided my ps3 was going to explode. And Dirge of Cerberus? God awful. What is wrong with SE? This game sucks! I mean yea, it's pretty, but.....it just sucks.
So I moved on to xbox. I played through all my xbox games, since I only have 8 or 9. Plus, There's a a few I already started/beat. I will say, what I saw of Beyond Good and Evil I loved, and Otogi is AWESOME. So is Ninja Gaiden. I had a dream last night of what my life would be like if Ninja Gaiden and Otogi somehow squished together and became reality. I liked it. (I can have some pretty trippy dreams sometimes.)
I went back to ps2 games at this point, because I thought I would be doing this the whole night. So I played through Drakenguard (right after Dirge of Cerberus) and thought "This sucks. I'm going to try something else"
I skipped right to ps3 games. But I didn't start at the beginning. I went right to the middle, to Heavenly Sword. All I can say is this: mmmmm. Heavenly Sword.
Though the logical portion of my brain kept pointing out things I shouldn't care about in a video games (Here's one: "There is NO WAY a girl could carry that sword. and if she could, she would not be sexy anymore. She'd be bulging with muscles.") But I still loved it very much. I do believe, once I finish with Persona 3, that I shall play this one. Perhaps sooner! But even though the game was awesome, I still have to say: Kai's parts SUCK. The aiming system sucks. Her movement speed sucks. The fact that I shot a guy in the head 3 times and he still kept moving sucks.
But after Heavenly Sword, I fell asleep. ASLEEP!! Not literally. It was like my brain just shut off and wouldn't think anymore. So I went to bed. My plan was continue today, but my roommate came back. And I think I can imagine her reaction if I kept popping in game after game. So....maybe later I will continue.
