To play the sh**** games that suck ass
He'd rather have a buffalo
Take a diarrhea dump in his ear
He'd rather eat the rotten a******
Of a road killed skunk and down it with beer
He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard...

It's amazing what you can get done when you're not playing video games.
Things have been so weird at my paper lately. Since it's the spring season in Northeast Ohio, constant rain has really jammed a tree branch in the spokes of the baseball and softball season. Because area fields are in a constant state of flooding, Colin doesn't have any games to cover. Because Colin doesn't have any games to cover, Colin gets paid for a day's work without doing much *actual* work.
"Excellent!"
...Not so much.
Because of my windfall of free time, I've been really digging into my back catalog of games. I'm a bit of a story nerd (It's a dark shame that dates back to my "shopping in the husky isle" days), so most of the games I haven't gotten to are crazy Japanese role-playing games of the 40-50 hour variety.
Games Colin Has Beaten In The Past Two Weeks or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Using My New HDTV
- Suikoden V
- Metal Gear Solid 3
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- Lost Odyssey
- Resident Evil 5
- Prince of Persia
Anyway, long story short, I finished Metal Gear Solid 4 last night (*great* game, by the way. I really want to make a post that touches on what makes that such an interesting experience...So, if my past is any indication, 2012 should be a good look-out date for that one) and realized that I don't really have anything left to play.
Let me tell ya...I got so much done today because of that.
