It's really tempting to look up what to do sometimes (I've done it; sometimes it's not quite logical what they want you to do) but it's really satisfying when you have that "ah HA!" moment when you figure it out, so definitely try to use a walkthrough as little as possible.
Nice list, Cary. I played quite a few games thanks to PS+, so for me the service is worth it. Renegade Ops, Outland, and Bloodrayne: Betrayal come to mind. I still need to play The Cave though.
Congratulations! And going to Belgium too. Very cool. I also got a laptop when I graduated from high school. It was the first gen MacBook, which will tell you about how long ago it was lol. Anyway, enjoy your new stuff and I hope you like Phoenix Wright. It's one of my favorite franchises from the DS.
I had a busy November too, though it looks like we didn't play any of the same games lol. I definitely wanna play Black Flag eventually.
I have no delusions about how many new games I play in their year of release, except first-party Nintendo games. I often pick those up right away or at least as soon as I can. I played BioShock Infinite when it first came out. What else...? Usually I get to the end of the year and am not sure what I played that year anyway. That's one of the reasons I'm excited that I kept up with my backloggery. I'll actually be able to see everything I played this year.
Nice tunes. I think that Winters sounds, well, the most wintery to me. That is a cool variation on the Dark World theme though. Man, I hope Nintendo makes another Four Swords game eventually.
I've never played a Tomb Raider game (Guardian of Light is technically a "Lara Croft" game lol but I do love that one) but I now have the new TR and the trilogy compilation released for the PS3...and I'm not sure which route to go first 
Dissidia sounds so cool! Seriously, I might use some of my birthday money to get a copy
Cool, man! We hit up the Goodwills around here sometimes. (By the way, that's "hit up" as in "peruse their stuff" and not "take their money" lol.) Never seen anything like that, though I have found some good games, like Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion for $3 each. Things are definitely cheaper when they look like DVDs lol.
I've never seen any of the Gundam shows though. We had a couple Gundam action figures when I was a kid but that's just because they were cool robots.
My birthday is later this month, so between that and Christmas someone might give it to. But failing that I'll have birthday money and A Link Between Worlds is at the top of my list.
Yeah, the PS4 didn't stand a chance 
That's the plan! As usual, all the best games are Nintendo's, and that's just fine
