Someone call Robot Chicken. This needs to be done!

The more I think about it the more I think I will be kicking myself for not picking up the game day-one. I'm already committed to Muramasa Rebirth and a PS Vita.

They've gotten too good at them. It makes them less interesting. Too slick and too predictable. I'm thinking of the Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us ads I scanned recently. They aren't bad, but they are not too interesting. I think game ads used to be targeted to a younger audience and so there was more humor. The ads targeted to an older gamer, like the ones I just mentioned, are all serious and dark. I like the humor, attitude and giant mechs or fantastic flying ships in my ads.

I watched it on Wiki, meaning I read the plot. The title has always stuck in my mind. It's very catchy.

Cool!

Every week I pick a few old comics for 25 cents each alongside my new stuff hoping to find some ads. Marvel and DC both load their comics with ads of all sorts. Some of the smaller publishers don't though.

That sounds cool. I'm going to download all of the games sometime. Even though I have the previous collections, I like playing them again for the achievements, shinier graphics, and the challenge modes. I got the Midway Arcade Origins last year for 360 for the same reasons.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord [NES]
Skies of Arcadia [Dreamcast]
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic [Xbox]
Dragon Quest VIII [PS2]
Mario & Luigi Partners in Time [DS]
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance [Xbox]
Mass Effect [Xbox 360]
Final Fantasy IV [DS]
Valkyria Chronicles [PS3]
Blue Dragon [Xbox 360]

I could name others, but these are the ones I've played the most.

I was really excited by this on XBLA when it came out, but I've kind of put it on the back burner for now. I guess the fact that I've played all these games before has me playing other things first.

I've played Fable III. I liked it. I seem to remember the inventory system was a little strange but I don't think I used it all that much. It's not the kind of RPG where you have to constantly adjust your equipment. I think I played it with very little thought to the things you normally agonize over in hard core RPGs. That's why I kind of think of it as an action game. Fable II is the more hard core RPG of the series. I still need to finish that one.

If these new consoles don't appeal to me, at least I'll have more time to dig deeper into my backlog and all the games I've missed this gen.
