Here is a list of the music that I listened to back in '97.

Played a bunch more of Saints Row Gat Out of Hell on Monday. Mark and I completed another of the three tricky Salvation challenges. This is the one where you have to be a good flyer and pick up as many falling and rising souls as you can within a time limit. I learned better use of the "x" button for slowing yourself down and the left trigger for hovering. There's only one more Salvation challenge left and it's the hard one right in the middle of the industrial island where smoke stacks are in your way. We'll get it though.

Don't think I read much in 1996 unless you count sheet music. Read a bunch of that stuff for bass. I did notice that George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones came out that year. I guess I gotta check it out since it's such a huge monster these days.

1996 in gaming. Ah yes. The N64 came out. I didn't get one that year though. I was still mainly on PC playing shooters and strategy games. Somehow I also had a Playstation, SNES, Genesis and NES. How I got all that stuff, I don't remember. I had little money and had to have gotten them cheap second hand. It was the day of flea markets where you could get stuff cheap. My friend and I went to them most weekends to pick up anything gaming related. The internet ended all that. Thank you internet. NOT! Below is a list of the stuff I played most.

I got totally obsessed with Saint's Row: Gat Out of Hell today. Mark and I played co-op most of the day. We beat the main objective and then began mopping up other challenges.

Played some Worms today because it came out in 1995 on PC. I wanted to give this game another chance because last time I got really fed up with it. I got into it enough to buy it on Xbox Live and play the tutorial and several of the challenges. Then I tried to find someone to play with online but no luck there, so I went back to the challenges and got annoyed by the A.I. always getting the perfect angle on me with ranged weapons. Shooting at range in this game takes a lot of trial and error since there's no guidelines or anything to tell you exactly at what angle to shoot. That's fine though. I enjoyed it enough to return to it sometime, hopefully with a real person to play against.

I find it a little difficult to remember just what I saw in the theaters that year, but this next list is probably the stuff. If I didn't see these films that year, it was very soon after.

Well, there were only three games I played that year: Warcraft II, Road Rash on PSone and Donkey Kong Country 2 on SNES. I mean, maybe I played them a year later, I don't actually remember, but these I played very close to their release dates.
