My Quests

This is for all you game players out there! I won't say "gamers" because it has a lame emo-ish sound to it and implies mainstream game playing, which I deplore.

I have a great many ideas I want to flesh out on this blog, and a friend or two I want to help with this.

My sources of inspiration are so diverse that to list them would seem almost impossible but nonetheless exhausting and ultimately pointless. This is why wordplay and free word association will be a big part of my blog. This will irritate a great many (potential) readers because to some it will make this blog nonsensical, but nevetheless I want to at least try.

In coronation of the *true* birth of this catharsis (oops, I mean blog), I will simply present my questlog for all to see tonight! HERE! NOW!

The list simply chronicals my never-ending quest for game heaven and my battle with myself to finish the incalculable amount of games I purchase. I am a collector, primarily, and have less time and inclination to play, much less finish, most of the games I own. As a result, I keep a list of games I have begun but never finished as a sort of "to do" list egging me on . . . . taunting me . . . . . goddamn you a dirty list!!!!! Sorry. In any case, here's the list as it stands tonight:

Yeah, I'm a nerd. I don't mind. I ambrace it and wave my "freak flag high!" to quote my man Jimi Hendrix. Daunting list, especially with all the shooters and the near-impossible Sonic Advance 3, Sonic Rush, Contras, etc. I have been chiseling away at this well over two years and will finish every last f*ing game.

I promise my next post will be more interesting.
