I'm a bit groggy at-the-moment having gone to bed at 2 this morning only to wake up at 7. How foolish of me to drink coffee so late at night. I spent all day yesterday playing Torchlight. Didn't think I'd get this into it, but it has been very fun and for a Diablo clone, it really isn't too shabby. The similarities are welcome along with the improvements, particularly the kinder inventory management and having a pet that can hold as much junk as you and you can even send him off to town to sell crap for you so you don't even have to leave the dungeon as often.

I still managed to play FFTA2. Broke the 60 hour playtime mark. Veery amazing for me. I really haven't had the attention span for RPGs the past, oh i don't know, year or so? I've maxed all my attribute dealies the negotiation, teamwork and all that. They're at 99. Being over level 40, the clan trials are very easy. I'm not sure how much longer I have in plot before the game's over. I've got the first page of the book all fille dout and I think I'm halfway down that second page. If that's all there is to it, I could probably finish in a day. I'm having a lot of fun questing and filling out skills.

Machinarium is still wonderful, though I didn't play much since the last time. Have just one of the robot instrumentalists to deal with. I love how cute the robot is, but also how subtly disturbing it is with those bubble flashbacks.

I rented some movies the other day. Wolverine Origins was the best outta the bunch. I liked the movie, but wanted more from the ending. How it was, just didn't satisfy. That's pretty much my only complaint. It was nice to see blob. That scene with him was amusing.

The next movie was Crank 2. Wow. um. Well, it had some good scenes. The ending was riduculous, though funny. The first was far superior. His Transporter series is way more entertaining.

And the last movie was Drag Me To Hell. I liked it. That old lady was horrible and there were plenty of horrible scenes. It was better than I expected, but nothing I'd ever want to see again.

Right now I'm watching Sci-Fi's Saturday night movie. Some Amnityville Horror remake. It's not too bad. Nothing knew. How many times has this story been done? No matter. THis has some great horrible moments.

After this, I'm off to bed and tomorrow will be a great day in to game.

I did plan to get other things today, like Fat Princess, but ended up coming across some screens of this odd game. For $20 it looked totally worth it. It's been a long time since I played a good ol' point-n-click adventure, and this one is so nostalgic and beautiful I'm just blown away. The art style and ambient music and the animations are so smoothe. I've burned four hours already playing it. I can't even bring myself to play Dragon Age, the other newbie to my collection.

I know I'll get stuck at some point, like most adventure games, and then I'll probably go back to Dragon Age.

This morning, I played some Dawn of War. I had never gone through the campaign. I never seem to with RTS games. I burned through three or four of them and did a quick 14 minute skirmish before hitting my limit for the day.

I'm still plugging away at FFTA2. Still amazed it's holding my attention. It gets some playtime every day.

Tomb Raider is coming along nicely. I know I'm missing treasures, but at this point, I just want to get through the game and enjoy the story, then I can go back and pick up what I missed. I'm just about at the end of Chapter 3, when you go through the crypt at Croft Manor. I just killed those tiger thralls.

Played the Lost Planet 2 demo. I did it in single-player mode. It's fun like the first game, but not something I'll buy anytime soon. I'll wait 'till it drops to around $20 like I did for the previous game.

Man, I still need to finish Mirror's Edge, too and I really should finish Star Ocean, but I've been really thinking aobut picking up the first and second story for PSP. Dagnabit.

I really feel like playing Dawn of War tonight or some World in Conflict. I need to get my tactical on. This totally warrents going to the store for beer and chips.

Well, add Critter Crunch to my wishlist. I've fallen in love with that cute critter. It's actually a very beautiful game, and I get hopelessly addicted to column games. *sigh*

The Dreamcast gets some love with Ikaruga and Sword of the Berserk. My original Ikaruga suffered a horrible crushing death by way of chair leg, and I don't even know what happened to Berserk. I think it got lost when I moved. It doesn't really matter, though. I have them again and will look forward to playing them. Though, they hardly constitue as "new" from what I've been needing.

I'm still leaning towards something new for PSP. I prefer RPGs for that platform, and right now, I have none. Zero. The only PSP games I have right now are Puzzle Quest, Innocent life, and Harvest Moon Boy & Girl. Maybe one of those demos I downloaded wiill inspire me. I don't know. My DS is clearly winning the handheld battle. I have several games I haven't even unwrapped.

It's nice to own every system, but this backlog is the downside. It's really ridiculous. I have too much to choose from and sometimes have a hard time comitting to finish one before starting another, but I have a pretty low attention span for gaming. That's probably why I have so many PSN titles. The game has to be a freakin' masterpiece, or addictive as heck to keep me tuned in long enough to finish.

Time for bed, methinks.

I really haven't done much in the way of video games, save EvE Online. Yesterday I started in on Tomb Raider Underworld to get the trophies I noticed they6 added, and am getting through Thailand. I got the two gems and am making my way back to the Shiva/Kali puzzle.

Played some Noby Noby Boy. I've only got 2 trophies left and this strange game is entertaining. And some flOw, which also had trophies added, and I picked up a bunch of them. I really love that game. It's very relaxing. I'd really like Soulcalibur 4 to get trophies along with FEAR and Resistance.

Let's see, I checked out a bunch of games on PSN and have a list of titles I'd like to get:

• Fat Princess
• Mini Ninjas
• Watchmen

I'll probably make an effort to pick these up next month.
