Right now I am busy. And not the kind of casual “oh I’m so busy” talk that most people have because we are all, on some level, busy. I am talking extreme busy. To the -nth degree, to the absolute maximum, to the point where I think to myself “why did I say yes to everything?!!?!??!!?!1″ *pulls out hair* *cries*

This is why there hasn’t been much posted on the site lately. BUT this is not about pity or sympathy or any of that nonsense! This post is about how I’m managing to stay sane through all of this!

a fact I am very much aware of these past months

So like 98% of the people on this planet, I have fallen very slack with both keeping up with my New Years resolution to work on my backlog of things, and keeping the updates coming. But fear not! I have made a little bit of progress since my first update on *ahem* January 7th.

Shameful.

I can’t live with myself.

I’ve been asked quite a few times what games I own, and I always let out a sigh before I try to answer. There are just way too many games to try and catalog out loud – so I’ve made a list as a reference! Now if you want to play together, or help me decide what to stream, you know what I have here!

Organized by platform/console, listed in alphabetical order, and linked to Amazon so you can see what it is/ buy it. And some of these I’ve actually finished!

yup. a carry-over from my gaming shame list.

I talk about Ni No Kuni all the time – on the podcast, on Twitter, and in blog posts – because I am in love with it whole-heartedly. I have Mitey and Mr. Drippy stuffed animals, an Oliver cape, and just yesterday received two(!!) new Ni No Kuni tshirts in the mail. Well, I’ve taken my fandom to a new level with my latest video blog – I wrote a fan song!

one of my two newest tees – LOVE! the other will be featured soon in my new column!

For Christmas, I acquired Hitman: Absolution, Far Cry 3, Max Payne 3, Spec Ops: The Line, and the Assassin’s Creed III Season Pass on PSN (which, of course, I didn’t get to play right away).

They were all great games in their own way. But today, I want to talk about replay value.

After getting so many games at one time, and going on a gaming (and food) binge during my vacation, there’s no way I’m buying another game for a while. Until I get a new game, I need to enjoy what I have. Perhaps platinum a game or two, or just replay the ones I really liked. So what will I replay? [...]
