A couple years ago I started keeping a statistical diary of my media consumption. It's fun to stat-up at the end of the year. I thought I'd do top ten lists for all the five categories I keep track of. Here they are.

WARNING! Serious weirdness follows. What do you expect from the dream world?

Today I got deep into Silent Hill. So much so that I beat the game. Then I downloaded Tales from Monkey Island from PSN and played a few hours of that. I think adventure gaming puzzles are a real pain and should be easier, or at least have a hint system, not as generous as Professor Layton, but generous like the remake of Secret of Monkey Island (which I still got stuck in even with the generous hints - see how puzzle-challenged I am). 

I've decided to make every holiday a retro special occasion. I rolled a random genre with my Retro Game Encounter Table and got, Adventure. Then I chose Resident Evil and Silent Hill from the database. I was really happy to have a reason to break out my PS3 Super Slim and get me some PSOne Classics. It took some serious resistance on my part not to pick up Suikoden II and Grandia, amongst others. I get them later for sure though. No worries.

Finally we get to the meat of the year, the games that came out in 2014 that I actually played.

After thinking about randomly selecting old games to play during holidays, and reading a lot of old D&D stuff, I came up with an interesting idea. Why not make a monster encounter table for games. I used the genres listed at allgame.com (when it was up), and the stats I came up with few month ago on my gaming habits. The result is below.        

 Second in my recap of the gaming I did in 2014. It'll all end with my GOTY pick in part three.

I started the day by going to Hope’s Cookies for cookies and John’s Village Mart for hoagies. That stuff was darn good!
