I used to get Screwattack's podcast, but somehow I lost interest after a while. They had Angry Video Game Nerd on the podcast occasionally.

G-Darius is way cool, but that polygonal art they used in the late 90s is just uck! It's all triangles.

I'd like a Xbox copy too. Four extra games not on the PS2 version, plus I like all my multiplatform games on Xbox.

That Warhammer RTS looks cool. I miss playing Warcraft II and my PC won't play it anymore. 

I think Boogerman showed up in Clayfighter 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut, which is why I want to play that Genesis game. 

I've been pretty focused in my gaming lately. I decided I didn't want to play games randomly as choosen from backloggery's Fortune Cookie, but instead play the most recent first. So on handheld that ment going back to Etrian Odyssey Untold, which I did for a few hours, then I realized I wanted to play Tearaway and it was slightly more recent, so I went out and got it and started it last night. It uses the camera in the Vita to put your face in the opening sequences and open a portal into whatever's shown on the outward facing cameras. I also used the back touch screen for the first time. I worry I'll loose my grip on the Vita.

This game gives you The Whole Kraut: weapons are always out, sausages and sauerkraut in every scene. Did I forget to mention that?

Tales from Space looks interesting.

Yea! I've been anticipating this game since the beginning of the year. I can't wait. I'm getting it on XBLA.

I'm right behind you in achievement points at 47 thousand something. I've been thinking of doing some kind of 50K blog thing when I get there. I heard someone got to 1 million recently. That's nuts! I also saw that Xbox One now has a window that comes up during your game showing the achievements which you can then sort and click opening Explorer to find walkthroughs and hints as you play. It's what I do already except with a computer next to my console. Now it's all together.

I played most of Child of Light but didn't finish it. Hopefully I'll be able to do that soon. I heard it's being released for Vita on July 1 too. I'm considering getting it there again to play on the go. 

Your situation sounds very familiar to me. I got a degree but haven't done anything with it. I'm in a job well beneath me and sometimes the people are incredibly difficult to work with. I used to quit and then get the same job somewhere else, but after a few times of that, I made myself stay and work things out, just to keep my finances stable. Well, I've been stuck at this menial thing for a long while now and I'm desperate to do something new. I feel, similar to you, that I've waited too long, but I know that's not the right attitude. I think every day about how to motivate myself and put the time into something I really want to do and just do it. I've been working on improving my health at the moment, but I really need a career I can be proud of. I'm working on a mental discipline to get the wheels turning because I can't wait forever. 

I've been thinking a lot about these things I read about in Michio Kaku's recent book Future of the Mind. Sucess comes from three things: Focus, Cooperation (also mentioned as Emotion Management or, as I like to think about it, Social Skills), and Delayed Gratification (or as I like to think of it, Planning. You know, making a plan and then sticking to it unitl it pays off down the road).

Anyway, that's me on this subject. Hope it helps some.
