Posterous is closing down… I guess I made the right decision to setup my blog on Tumblr despite the bookmarklet not being quite as good. Though, my sharing is now done on NewsBlur’s blog, so this is just my traditional blog here now.

Books: Oops, didn’t finish any… Games: 5: Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure (PS3) 6. Knytt Underground (PSVita/PS3) 7. Radiant Historia (DS) 8. Skies of Arcadia (GC) 9. Life of Pixel (PSMobile/PSVita) Videos: 11: Trigun: Badlands. Actually pretty good. 12: My Neighbours the Yamadas. A bit repetitive, doesn’t really go anywhere. A bit like a comic strip turned directly into a show without breaking out of its 4 panel format. 13. Bamboo Blade. Reminds me of Yawara: Fashionable Judo a bit.

Keep in mind, these aren’t exactly accurate because Raptr doesn’t track time on the PSVita and PS3. I do a little bit of it manually though. Persona 4 Golden would have blown P3P away if it did though. What strikes me is how few games the average Raptr user plays in a year. 12 games seems like an awfully low number, but I suppose there must be a lot of multiplayer gamers on the site.

I think I have a gaming goal now for 2013. It’s not too terribly difficult of one though. (I apparently posted this to the wrong blog before…) I’m going to try and finish all of my remaining Gamecube games. There’s not too terribly many of them left though. 1. Zelda: Wind Waker (I played this in 2003 nearly to the end. I just restarted tonight and I’m down to the final sequence of 5 bosses.

Last year’s status: 8 Books, 43 games, 113 Videos. The goal is to grow the first category and shrink the last one this year… So far, I’m not really meeting this goal, but that should improve when my netflix disc account finally ends in february. Books: 1. .Hack//Another Birth, Volume 1. Pretty entertaining, seeing the story from another perspective. Though, that will only be the case for the first book as I never finished the other 3 games.

Because the built in commenting system in tumblr is so atrocious, I’m making this post for the discussion of the NRA vs Video Games debate that seems to be happening and the misconceptions therein. Ultimately, in my view the problem is that the media and the government is trying very hard to divide us and turn us against each other. They started investigating all these causes related to “violence” in order to get movies, video games, the NRA, and other groups to turn on each other and fracture the supporters of the bill of rights into different camps.

I finally maxed out all the social links this pass around. Also beat Margaret. She’s pretty tough even on easy mode though. Then finished the midnight quiz show. That means… I’m done for now. I only have the Compulsive Reader trophy left, but I’m burnt out on Persona for the moment. Maybe march or april I’ll go back and get all the books.

I almost managed to get the 100% social links trophy for P4G on my second pass… But Ai Ebihara only appeared 2 days a week in January, so that left me 2 events short. Now that I don’t need to get the Hardcore Risette Fan trophy again, I restarted at 11/7 and changed my tactics a bit. That was a 17 hour rewind, but I’m back to 12/22 with only using 5 hours this time, and at 150 hours total.

Books: Mission of Honor: David Weber Mistborn: Brandon Sanderson Much Fall of Blood: Lackey/Flint/Freer Lost at Sea: Bryan Lee O'malley Redshirts: John Scalzi Games: (3 Vita games, pretty impressive.) Persona 4 Golden (PSVita) (P3P and P4A would also be on the list, but only adding one game per series.) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3) Gravity Rush (PSVita) Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward (PSVita) Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (DS) Videos: (3 of these are free on Amazon Prime right now.

Books: I was lazy again and didn’t finish any more books. Games: 42: Zone of Enders HD (PS3) 12/4 43: Persona 4 Golden (PSVita) 12/26 Videos: 104: Doctor Who: Ghostlight. Kinda interesting? 105: Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric. Actually very interesting how it looped around. 106: Doctor Who: Survival. The original series kinda goes out with a whimper… 107: Doctor Who: The Movie. It’s too bad they didn’t turn this into a real series, because it would have been entertaining.
