My local retro store sells them for $70. One day i'm going to go there and binge on that and a bunch of games.

I don't know if The Cave is considered Indie, but that was one of my favorite games this year. It's still not beating out Etrian Odyssey Untold though.

This game is so purty. I want.

The Wii seems a natural place for Angry Birds but I gotta have my achievements if it's on 360. Not sure I like it enough to play the steep prices for it right now, but I acknowledge its inventiveness.

I missed Bowser's Inside Story but picked up a copy recently. So I'll play it some time. 

That Zelda game is creeping up my list the more I hear about it. It sounds great.

Yea, I thought about the time thing later as being a weak argument but it does enter into it for me to some degree. 

I guess it's the attitude that Indie games are inherently better because they are made by only a few people and that they are doing it for the love of it and not the money that really bothers me. 

I had to get rid of some old systems due to space a while back. Since I had all the games I really wanted to play on collections like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, I gave it to a friend of mine along with my Atari 2600. I don't have a SNES for the same reason. I'm looking at getting this Hyperkin Retron combo system that plays original SNES, NES, Genesis and GBA carts that goes for about $60.

I was hoping my other sister would be here with her four kids. They all play console games like crazy. One of them got video capture software for his birthday so he could do Let's Play videos. That would've been even more interesting.

Putting on stickers is pretty cool but I'm horrified to think of putting a sticker on my silver PS2 and GameCube.

AH! I just realized there's a silver Xbox 360. The Halo Reach LE. I want it!

I'm not a multiplayer FPS player, so I don't see much of that stuff, but I hear about it all the time. I still remember turning on the sound for the first time in a Halo firefight match (the only mode I'll play) and the first thing I heard was a racial slur. THE FIRST THING! Turned the sound off, never looked back. 

What annoys me a little lately though are the Indie snobs. I like all sorts of games, but when certain Indie games are gushed over for hours on a podcast, I wish I could tell them, "your talking about a two hour experience!" Is that really enough gameplay to make it game of the year? I think not. People just got to make a stand against the big bad triple A publishers and create their little elitist club. Anyway, that's my rant of the day.

The year of Luigi one is maybe even better.
