Thanks! It's taken me years to amass this collection.

I don't think I could possibly finish it in 5 years, for several reasons:

1. 1038 games / 5 years = 208 games per year / 12 months = I need to beat 17 games a month. That's not gonna happen.
2. I keep adding to my collection
3. I have a terrible drive to some games, which means that it takes away from my ability to a game that is

So basically, I'm pretty much hosed. It's the problem with being both a gamer and a collector.

It speeds up. And your accuracy gets a bit better.

Ooh, the GBA Tactics Ogre game. Nice.
It's a fairly good game, as it's not as stupid hard as the original TO. A few people have gripes with it, but I thought it was a good game.

Ironically enough, the final boss was the only enemy I had trouble with.

The cast list was actually my favourite part of the game. Gun x Sword, Fafner and the Gaiking remake were all really cool.

Seriously. I found the original enemies in K horrible. I mean.. they're like robot furries.

I was wishing K would end towards the last few stages, too.

It looks like you've finally started Batman and are liking it! I've seen a level or two at Duncan's house and was impressed.

Have fun with it!

Yes, I believe that's from the "Toys in the Attic" episode. It is really funny

I am restarting Tales of Vesperia however I wanted to finish a few shorter titles first so that when I return to it it will have my full attention.

Yes, it was originally aired on Adult Swim wasn't it? I had heard of Cowboy Bebop for years of course, but I never actually watched it until recently. I had just finished watching the second season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and was looking for something of that same quality to watch. I thought of Cowboy Bebop due to Yoko Kanno's involvement with its music as well and decided to see if I could find an episode on YouTube to watch to give me an idea of whether I would enjoy the series or not.

I wound up watching the entire first epsisode and found myself mesmerized. The combination of its captivating setting, colorful, memorable characters, wonderful, varied music and the thrilling, thought provoking and yet approachable plots were unlike anything I had seen before.

I love it

Now that I own the entire series and the movie I only wish there was more.

Yea, it's gettin' kinda hectic....what went from 4-6 is now 10+.

FFX, Ratchet #2, a HP game and GH 5 is being complicated by:

A) Wanting to the last two Harry Potter titles. (+2 games for Now Playing impact)
B) Have 3 sports seasons run as "Real time" so as to slowly get a on them (+2 NP)
C) Guitar Hero Van Halen arrived before release date, and like other band centric GH titles, is shorter, so I have the compulsion to a game before it even hits the streets at the end of Dec. Can ya blame me? (+1 NP)
D) Son kept asking about Kingdom Hearts, so I caved and started it...playing it with family (even wife) watching...so it's really a family time activity. (+1 NP)

So, that's 6 titles of 10 NP, which would leave me in my normal range of 4-6 at any time.

Which of your about to start games are you looking to more? COD2 or Batman?

Yeah, there really is. I definitely plan on getting Blue Dragon Plus, Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV. I'd also like to try those Rhythm Heaven games.

No, but I plan on getting one at some point in the future (along with a PSP and PS3). I saw Chrono Trigger marked down to $15 and couldn't resist.

I have very fond memories of renting the original when it first came out. It's an unbelievably well crafted game.

I'm really enjoying all of the characters. I'm finding them all to be entertaining and interesting. My favorites however would have to be Yuri, Estelle and Judith

94 is tough, but ultimately satisfying. I'll have to dig my copy up to see him with less hair "product".

I think I'll do that. If Tales of Vesperia is any indication it's definitely a series I'd like to explore further
