So now that I've gotten back into stride with this whole summer thing, I have created a to-do list for myself to follow. Based on the fact that I don't follow it at all, I am not quite sure why I created it in the first place. Something about filing tax returns, backing up my music collection, and cleaning out my closet. Yet somehow video games managed to sneak onto the list, and completely take it over. Oh well, I have embraced this fact and have instead compiled a to-do list of video games. Much simpler, and much more helpful in allowing me to procrastinate from doing what I really need to. (A portfolio would be nice....) See that picture there to the left? That's it. We got Boom Blox (Wii), The Orange Box (Xbox 360), Condemned ([#1] Xbox 360), No More Heroes (Wii), Bioshock (Xbox 360), Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360), Battalion Wars 2 (Wii), and Mario Kart Wii (You seriously don't know?). Of those I've started plenty of them, and am currently working my way through Half-Life 2 of the Orange Box. This game is a phenomenal sci-fi shooter.
Hopefully this list will allow me to break the curse of starting a game for a few hours and never finishing it. (the dead pile of last-gen games sitting in the corner of my family room)
Hey Ben look down here, this may be a little more friendly to your interests.
Alas, I am not wasting all of my summer simply melting my mind with video games. Being the OCD nutcase I am, and feeling the need to keep everything in list or chart form, I've created a book reading list! This list starts with No Country For Old Men (Cormac McCarthy), then goes to my reading for next school year, East of Eden (John Steinbeck), and ends with Boomsday (Christopher Buckley). As always, No Country For Old Men is better in book form (somehow beating out that masterpiece of a movie).
I've also taken this summer to fall back in love with movies. I have been vigorously adding to my movie collection via used DVDs from Amazon, Netflix, or FYE. Surprisingly FYE has some good deals, considering their outrageous price for new stuff. (30$ for a DVD!?)
And, despite the inflated cost of going to the movies these days, I have pledged myself to see at least one movie a month. (Any guesses to this months? *Hint rhymes with Bark Right*)
No moron it's not Dark Kite....

so i'm playing through bioshock for the second time. i beat it once and got the third (worst) ending and only 26 achievements. now i'm going for 23 more (24 more would include brass balls, which is when you beat the game without dying once [without using vita chambers]). so i'm playing through and i'm only on neptune's bounty after like a morning and a whole afternoon of playing. getting every audio diary, every plasmid, every tonic, maxing all tracks, fully upgrading 10 weapons, fully researching every enemy (splicers, robots, big daddies), and a ton of other shiz. lemme know if you wanna bioshock session sometime. PCE!
