It's been at least ten years since I played it last, so I'm going to just take my time and enjoy it again.

My parents came and visited us, so that was cool. My wife got me a couple of PSP games I'd been watching on Amazon, PaRappa the Rapper and Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake. A pleasant surprise

Other M is definitely a fun game to play, as long as you don't get bogged down by the story and characterization. But I haven't played the GBA Metroids since they first came out. Man, I should revisit those. And since I got Super Metroid for 30 cents on my new Wii U, this would be a good time to finally play Metroid II and then have a run through the 2D games in the series, though I'd probably skip on the NES original...again lol

My wife and I did some yard saling for a couple Saturdays earlier this year but we never found anything awesome like...which stinks because that's why I was going lol

Well, I got my dad to play a board game, so that's progress lol

I actually think it's a plus that most of these games look SNES-ish lol. The thing that keeps me from playing more games like this is their length. I just have a hard time sticking with a game for several months and if I start something else, it's so hard to go back  Still, I wouldn't mind owning these in hopes of playing them one day lol. I could stick them on the shelf next to my other ridiculously long unplayed games like Fallout 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, the Persona series...

*quick internet search* Looks like it can vary from about $25 to a couple hundred! Saw a guy on ebay just now that is selling the box for $90. Just the box lol. My younger brother still has a copy of the original cart. I tell you what, though, I really wish Nintendo would sinc all their digital shops. I'd love to play Super Mario RPG on my 3DS XL. And I definitely think you should invest in a 3DS XL. There are a lot of good games already and the library is only going to grow

My wife played through Sleeping Dogs on a rental (a long Redbox rental lol) and I was very impressed with it. Normally open world games don't interest me but I really want to give Sleeping Dogs a try. And the PS+ version came with a bunch of DLC, so that's cool too

Unrelated, but I wanted to mention that I love the fact that the bar at the top of the screen follows when you scroll down now. Always having to scroll back up after reading or commenting on something was really annoying. It's small but it's a great addition

I wish I had an iPad. Too dang expensive, man! Been playing some iOS games lately though, like Ron Gilbert's take on the match-3 puzzler, Scurvy Scallywags. It's really good
