Ne Obliviscaris certainly wins the epicocity award. What would Yes think?

I'm not a big fan of the clean vocals in metal unless they're singing about grinding meat or something. 

Love that Mastodon album and Behemoth gets more intense to me the more I hear it. I really like those guys. The rest are interesting. Did I hear a harpsichord on one track? And what's Ne Obliviscaris doing with flamenco and Troldhaugen with Mariachi band music. It makes my head turn in curious angles. Interesting though.

I definitely had fun. Some of my favorites this year I didn't even finish. I'm less concerned with completion now. There's only so much time. I had to let it go.

I know that "3" is definitely not an "E". It's backwards for one thing. Sheesh! Get it right people!

I'm going to cheat Arcadecraft like crazy in order to get a full arcade going. I wish there was a sandbox mode where you could just design one without having to worry about the business stuff. It's too hard.

Game Room is effectively dead. That is, there's no new games for it, but it seems to be supported online. You can still send challenges to friends and the leaderboards are still active. I just wish Xbox had a good paddle, roller ball, or dial controller for some of these games. Gyruss and Black Widow would benefit and Breakout and Kaboom would then actually be playable.

My only question in that game is, "who starts a business with no decor or product?" They should give you a bunch more money at the beginning so you can design the place right and fill it with machines. Then the business sim can start. I found it hard to build my arcade up into something that really looks like an arcade. I guess I'm just bad at business.

I love Gyruss. I wonder what it's like on NES. I'll have to pick that up sometime.

I haven't played the earlier Clay Fighter games on Genesis. I'll have to rectify that.

That shooter game is a pain in my butt, but it's way easier with more Miis since each Mii you have becomes a gun on your ship. I usually save my coins for that game since it's so important to have more Miis. Thing is, even though I walk around during the day a lot, I usually only have about ten coins every day. I think you must get a coin for every ten steps or something like that.

Cool!!!

I love the Etrian Odyssey games. I need to play Persona 4 sometime though.
