Thanks for the info. I didn't stay up past the half but my friend called me late and told me they used the Philly Special play again. Ha!

I'm finding the series less annoying in the story department (with all the constant reminders of lines from the films), but more annoying in the graphics department. Why are all the characters so stiff in their animations? They also look like they are made up of polygons, those things that made characters look so ugly in N64 games.

That looks like the Sega Nomad.

When I play a game where you turn the Wiimote sideways, and there's no motion controls or pointing at the screen, it's great. It's just too fatiguing to keep pointing at the screen for long periods.

I think my friend actually finished it today. He was a little bit ahead of me but not much. That means the game is very short. Of course there's free play and all the collectibles. I will surely go after those.

I've just passed the 100 hour mark for this year. Mark's played much more. Weird thing is, the people who put in crazy hours into Minecraft are the creative mode players. Those people who build whole cities and such. I've never gotten deeply into creative mode. For some reason it doesn't interest me.

I forgot to bold the game titles. I kept thinking of that Wii game The Conduit. I remember trying to like it because I desperately wanted a good FPS on the Wii. I just didn't like pointing the Wiimote for hours at a time. It's hard on your wrists.

Oh yea, those are the old style, black trays. I remember when they were all like that.

There was a year, maybe '83 or something, when Genesis, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford all had hit songs in the top 20 on Billboards Hot 100 list. Too bad for Tony Banks who never hit it big on his own. (Genesis was Collins, Rutherford and Banks in the 80s).

I have a 3000 PSP. I have to check again, but I think it was the one where the UMD door is a little loose. It's super annoying and I want to find a way to fix it.

Thanks. It's been really fun to review stuff month by month. I'm already getting primed for next year. I'm going to do it a little differently.

It's really annoying the way these licenses end and the games aren't available anymore. At least I have the original disc still, but I'd like to have it digitally and maybe play online with it.

I found out about it only a few years ago and then had to have it. Video game board games are kind of rare. I guess I grew up on board games just before video games hit. Maybe that's why.

Love those graphics! Although I get impatient with platformers, I'd play it if it showed up on Game Pass on XBO.

Today's the first day. I'm not as into it as I used to be, but I can't quite avoid it being so near Philly. I always think to play the Eagles in Madden, and then I don't.

I don't like the controllers either but in the last few games there weren't any motion controls, so I just held the Wiimote sideways and used it like a normal controller. I like that.
