What Aren't You Playing?

, , , ,

I'm a busy dude. I only sleep 3-4 hours a night (for over a decade, but that's another story), I've got a full time day job, multiple side jobs, and 2 hours of commuting each weekday. When I am home, I'm ususally eating, cleaning, doing laundry, or washing the blood off my fresh bullet wounds. Being a game industry enthusiast, you may wonder when I actually play? Well, I don't, compared to what I used to when I was an LK.

I decided to share with you all a short list of games that I've had the desire to play, purchased, and are literally sitting in plain view in the center of my room. Mind you this is not an exhaustive list, but rather a list where if you said "Hey Ed, you've got 10 free hours to play some games you bought; what'll it be?" In other words:

Games I bought and really want to play but can't, or I never got around to playing them and now I have way better games...
  • The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (only 6 hours!?)
  • Super Paper Mario (two sit downs!)
  • Pokemon Diamond Version (played 13 hours, so eh)
  • Worms 2 DS (i made a team)
  • Rune Factory (2 hours)
  • Front Mission (got Advance Wars: Days of Ruin)
  • No More Heroes (audience is stunned)

So what have I been playing?
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl
  • Professor Layton and the Curious Village
  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

So... What aren't you playing, and why?

Animal Crossing Wild World, Im STILL in love with this game! but recently allergies have been attacking me non-stop and I have a full time job in the day, so when I get home I'm beat, I got sick from the Java-Monster energy/coffee drinks I had just so i culd unlock all stages and characters in Brawl. I mean really sick, body shaking, blacking out at work sick.

Oh and for the record, almost through my 3rd time through NMH, once on normal second on hard. IT'S F*!^>ING EPIC!

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

I got nearly to the end but had lost too many people. :frown: And it takes too long to play through again.

I can't believe the guy that dressed as Travis Touchdown for Halloween hasn't been playing No More Heroes! If I'm not playing a game, I generally trade it in or give it to a friend.

Traded in:
Battalion Wars 2
Godfather, Blackhand Edition
Red Steel

Gave Away:
WarioWare, Smooth Moves (kinda miss it)
Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (made my elbows hurt)
Wii Play

I've cot a couple others I'm thinking of trading. My condolences to Vega and drlaunch.

I haven't gotten back to Abe's Oddysee in a while. I also, haven't been playing Motor Storm and some of the indie games on my pc because I just love trying out new indie games that I find interesting. Mann.. it's hard to pass up on a good n free indie game.

I have a terrible time finishing games. I'll start'm and get more than halfway through--then stop abruptly.

I still need to finish Twilight Princess, No More Heroes, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time [stopped at the last dungeon]...

The only games I've been inspired to actually finish lately are Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, and any Phoenix Wright game.

I still need to beat Feel the Magic on Hell mode.

The thing is i'm having a hard time organization my gaming life .
And i'm sure hope you not reference what was happening a while ago as i'm over that now .

what you need to do is, choose a game that you've put off the most and stick to it. No matter how badly you want to play another game, don't play it until you've finished the previous game. You have to resist the temptation of starting another game or it'll take a much longer time to complete any game.

OR just play the current game you are playing till you are all brawled out, then you can put super mario galaxy back in and finally finish the game with Luigi.

:eyes:

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone can tell what happened to me yesterday.
