I'm not looking forward to that final boss now. I hope I can at least get that far this time though. I may be getting it next on my rental queue.

What's science fiction when you live in it? I ask myself. 

Good thing about games today is there are so many of them, and in so many different styles. Yes, the AAA stuff is homogenizing, but there's so much else to choose from. 

I think about quiting gaming every so often. It could happen. I'll be 50 this year. Often I feel like I'm too immature and should stop. Or that gaming takes up too much time and I'm neglecting other things. I especially noticed how games, going open world as they are so much these days, are becoming more and more time consuming. I've been more conscious of managing that time. I'm clearly not going to get to everything or finish everything in a game anymore. I've kind of begun to be ok with that. 

I'm, like, always coming up with self talk to try and alter my habits. I'm calling a lot of things "poison" right now just to trying to keep myself away. I'm not delusional, I don't believe these things are poison, but it's like attaching bad associations to things I should avoid. Talking about Ben and Jerry's, though, made my mouth water. 

Oh, so that's why those Japanese guys followed me around for weeks on end and took notes. I should get a cut from that algorithm. 

I hadn't had a confortable relationship with my parents since high school. but just this year I started having dinners once a week with my mom (my dad passed on in 2012).

I don't feel all that secure in my life right now and knowing she's around helps, but I don't know how things are going to go when she goes. I feel I need to get things together so I don't feel so vulnerable when that day comes. I guess I need to find some additional source of strength and self confidence. I imagine you're doing something similar in your situation.

If I had a family, I think it would be better. At least I still have my girlfriend who I've been with since '89. I'm not good at having a lot of friends and people to communicate with. I'm especially bad at communication and teamwork, as I was telling a freind at work one day when we were talking about multiplayer games. He's great at that stuff. I'm a lone wolf, always going in my own direction, forgetting what the team goal was. I'm fine with that though, I wouldn't want to be someone else.

Anywho, hope you're finding your way. I'm trying to find mine. 

Sounds like my job. I'd rather deliver tofu. I have a friend at work now who talks about beating certain times doing certain routes. I don't take it too seriously since it's dangerous to get carried away with such things, but it's fun to try a beat a time in a reasonable way. 

Yea, the XBO version has multiplayer. Apparently the 360 version does not. It was a console exclusive as well. 

It was really just a joke. My friend and I at work were using those terms like "console pleb" and "PC master race" just for a laugh. Although, he is a PC guy and may have been trying to tease me a bit. 

I remember when that Metroid Prime Trilogy came out. I almost bought it and still regret not getting it to this day. I want to play Mushroom Men. Les Claypool did the music and I hear it's an underrated game. I love the cover art to that game.
