That's a tough handheld question.  What games are you playing? 

I bought Bulletwitch a couple years ago and finally played it a bit last year.  It was an all right game.  I didn't finish it though.  I got stuck or something. 

I really can't wait for the 360 & PS3 to be retro.  Just the thought of all those games dropping in price...., I get warm inside.  

Damn shame you can't put in your own music like some of the old XB games. 

This is a great game, but damn did I hate "Fly Me to the Moon" by the time it was all over.  I use to like that song. 

I always thought there were a big number of elitist Japanese gamers.  I know we have no small number of them [American elitist] here.  Assholes are everywhere.  I learned years ago that many Japanese want even touch a western made game.  It's one of the reasons why western games don't sell well there.  But, my info on the subject is old.  It's possible things are better now.  I read somewhere that Capcom published GTA there and it did okay.  There are also a growth of Japanese gamers that play a lot of outsider games.  I just hope the Japanese realise that Japan is not the golden child of the game industry like they use to be a decade or so ago.  Japan still pumps out plenty of great games, but so is everyone else.  Awesome is spending everywhere. 

I bought this game a few years ago and I still hadn't played it yet.  I keep hearing it's not a great game.  This is the first time I ever read some is enjoying it.  It gives me hope that I'll enjoy it too.  

My backlog is easily in the hundreds.  My biggest problems are cost and time.  I don't buy many games at $60.  Most of the games I buy are under $20.  I am a cheap bastard.  I get games when there are deals.  I own GameStop's "Buy 2 Used and Get 1 Free" sales.  I probably get 6 games during those sales.  A few times I've gotten as many as 12!  When GameStop had a sale on PS2 games, I bought 20 games and it only cost me $4 and some change!   Most of the games I get off deals are added to my already high backlog.  Then there is the time problem.  I spent a lot of time playing my favorite games over & over again.  I lost count of the number of times I played through Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3.  I lose a lot of time playing my favorites over games I haven't played yet.  This is on top of the fact that I have a growing family and other responsibilities.  Funny thing is, it adds to me playing my favorite series more often.   Marriage with 4 kids and another on the way, sleep, work and other annoyances, are all time suckers in their own rights.  Sometimes it's a miracle I find the time to play Mass Effect.   Anyway, any of these things can be adjusted, but lately I just don't feel like dealing with it. 

Those are some good deals.  PSN+ users have great deals.  Still, for a few dollars more, you can get physical copies for some of those games.  It's sad that the digital games are equal to or more than the physical versions.  A brand new physical version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is $29.99 at GameStop.  I would buy that, but I think I'll hold out for that ultimate collection that suppose to be coming.  That GoW Origins Collection is calling me though. 

Lead paint inspection?  Lead paint hasn't be legal since the late 70s.  Who has lead paint?  Is you building yearly tested because it has lead paint?

I surely hope so.
