Sequel? Neat. I'm going to be watching xbox.com on Tuesday to see if it actually drops. 

Core stuff is perfect. I'll look into it when I get my current illness (probably Lyme disease) fixed up. I'm afraid to do anything right now until that's settled. 

I'm trying to turn my backlog into a giant bin of trade-ins, but some of them I know I won't want to part with for their replayability. I'm just not sure how to find the time to go retro right now. Maybe if there's a long stretch of time with no new games I want. I kind of hope for that at least part of the year. 

I'm thinking it will take a really special game to get me to go full completionist with my new game plan. Maybe that's as it should be. I don't know. 

It does bother me a little bit. Especially the way the whole game is clearly designed to encourage new figure purchases almost every few minutes of gameplay. As a kid, I would go crazy wanting more figures. I watched my nephew badger my bro-in-law over figures. Now I know why. 

Did you see that phone game ad with Arnold Schwartzenegger? I still can't believe phone games make so much as to afford prime time commercials with big celebrities. And it was a free-to-play game too.

I was playing Dragon Quest Heroes today, and as I was roaming the limited spaces you fight in, I thought about Xenoblade and it's vast open world. If the fighting is as smooth and easy to learn as DQH, I might like it. 

Yea, that is a good feeling. I think i'll complete a game now only if it is really a favorite of mine. No sense pushing through a game I'm only luke warm about. That game is worth some trade money for a possibly better game. 

My friend Mark was getting the adventure packs for the first game today. There are four of them and they each unlock a new area in the game that gives you a soul gem which gives one of your figures a new power. It's like DLC but through a physical product. 

Seems neato. I'd like to go on a NES binge sometime.
