Morning Folks,
Thought I would get a quick general post up before work but just as I was about to click the new post button I noticed my archive list on the right of the blog. As of the last post I have done 165 posts this year which is a new record for me, last year was the best record with 155 for the year which beat both 2009 and 2010 put together. So to say I've beaten 2011 by ten posts and still got several months before the year ends, well I'm very happy.
Would had been a lot higher if I had done my posts on E3 but lessons learnt, next time I'm going to do the HUB right and have all posts as soon as I can. I don't want to be a news site but I want to talk about the latest announces that excite me, so yeah I will aim to do better and same for any other conferences as well.
Anyway back to the point, woot! very happy about the post count. So not much to talk about sorry to say after that since I've not really done any gaming this week. I did try out my new rental game which I was shocked to get, Tornado Outbreak. It was on my list as reserved and could not be sent because they had no stock, but some how they found some and sent it me. I love getting quick easy achievements but I'm at that stage that I really do not want to give the time of day to rubbish games anymore, so barely a few minutes in it came out the disk tray and back into an envelope to be posted back today.
Hopefully they will send me something better next time, anyway my goal for this week is start the fourth pile of games that I pulled out a few days back. Well not just start but try out everything so that is sorted so I can finally get back into normal gaming. I'm holding off playing anything until I finish trying out my old games, works out better in the end when I have more space and bit extra cash as well.
Speaking of games I don't know about you guys but me for "it" as started, when I say "it" I mean the mad rush leading up to Christmas. This week Sleeping Dogs and New Super Mario Bros 2 is out then on Tuesday Darksiders 2, then we hit September which is packed with loads of games. Hell I've even seem Christmas Cards up for sale in my local card shops, madness. Hoping I can cut back this year and spend less, got too much stuff already to play and most of the time when I buy loads they never get played.
Anyone else the same ?

P.S. Feck just remembered the Wii U is out this year and I might get it, well I think it's out this year
The Wii U is highest on my list of 'gotta gets', nothing else matters other than that machine for me! I just hope that between now (August) and November/December (estimated time of Wii U arrival) I can gather some extra pennies to buy the glut of games that will be released with the machine. Even a die hard zombie fearer like myself (they are too scary!!) wants "ZombieU" because it just looks so awesome. Though at the moment I am waiting for my "New Super Mario Bros 2" to arrive tomorrow. As for other games, I hope I can hold out until "Call of Duty Black Ops 2" on buying anything else but I won't bank on it! There's always something that needs to be played!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I saw Christmas cards today too. Where did the gaming year go?!!
I wish I knew where this year went, too quick for my liking. I want the Wii U but not sure yet what games I want, have to wait and see what they announce for launch. Might be the case of just one game since there are loads at Christmas that I want. Halo 4, Assassin's Creed, Black Ops 2, Dishonored and so on.
