  Competition chart

  You guys in the competition check and make sure your count is correct. I tried to pay attention, but I'm easily distracted and could have missed someone's update.

  I'm nearly out of spending money. Good thing spring is almost here so I can get back to work. Even with limited funds, I bought all of this earlier for a grand total of $12. Gotta love flea markets and yard sales. ^_^

  I'm off to Florida on Friday for a family reunion. You guys stay out of my stuff while I'm gone. O_O

  Nonstop Gaming

  

  I think I've already beaten more games this year than I did the last. I mean, I played plenty of them last year, but I don't remember beating too many of them since I jumped from one game to another. I've been working on handheld games recently since I can curl up in bed under the blanket and play them.

  I finished 8 games by the end of January, as planned, though the 8th game wasn't Glory of Heracles. It was Advance Wars, which I finished yesterday, and then Advance Wars 2 today brings the total to 9. They were so short that I really don't know why I didn't finish them ages ago. Ron was teasing me about completing my games so fast, so I took a picture after beating AW2 as proof. I may start doing that with all the games I beat. xD

  Since my last blog, the number of competitors has grown to nine people. It was at ten, but one of them dropped out since he doesn't have much time for gaming right now. Now it's mostly members from the RPG Temple and one outsider. I made a chart to keep up with it all.

  Games beaten - 9

  • Advance Wars: Dual Strike
  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
  • Hotel Dusk: Room 215
  • Tales of Vesperia
  • Magna Carta 2
  • Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island
  • Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
  • Advance Wars
  • Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

  Now to get back to Glory of Heracles, and maybe start a console game.

  End of January Update

  

  Only six games completed so far this month, which is kinda disappointing. While it's much better than my usual completion rate, I don't think it's enough to reach my goal of beating at least half of my owned games by the end of the year, especially with all the new ones I'll be buying. I must play more games next month. O_O

  Games beaten - 6

  • Advance Wars: Dual Strike
  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
  • Hotel Dusk: Room 215
  • Tales of Vesperia
  • Magna Carta 2
  • Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island

  I'm playing Glory of Heracles and Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis at the moment, so maybe I can get them finished by the end of the month and bring my total to 8. Oh, and there's yet another friend entering the competition, so that makes 4 now. I'll call him Mystery Man A since he doesn't like people keeping track of him. He's someone that some of you know though.

  Now onto my purchases for the month. Yeah, not very much this time. Just bought Glory of Heracles and a few volumes of manga I found for cheap. My younger brother gave me the Final Fantasy game. I'll be happy when spring gets here and I'm no longer broke.

  Right now, the total for all the games I want (that are listed with a price at Amazon, anyway) come to $1,214. I'll probably wait to get some of the games until the price on them drop, so it will actually be less than that. Until I start work again, I won't be buying much anyway. I doubt I'll buy another game until March, when Lunar comes out.

  With my gaming time increased, time spent watching anime has been decreasing. I still make sure to watch the latest episode of Durarara! as any sane person should. If you don't know it, then shame on you. It's by the creator of Baccano! And if you're not watching it, you get out of my blog right now! O_O

  Last but not least is the IGN For Haiti Charity Event. I may not have much money at the moment, but it won't hurt me to donate a little. It will also be interesting to see what gets auctioned off.
