Well, it has certainly been a while since I have posted on the ole blog-erino, so I figured I would have a decent little update here in the dog days of summer. I'm pretty sure everyone else is experiencing the same blistering weather as me, but it has been un-Godly hot here in Virginia for the past few weeks. It's pretty much been 95+ every single day. I enjoy a hot summer day as much as the next guy, but sometimes enough is enough. On the bright side though, I just started my new job/career and I sit indoors in the A/C all day long. :lol: So far I'm really enjoying it, and the people/boss are extremely laid back.
But I digress. The real reason I am posting is to show off a few new games and emblems I've acquired recently. First of all, I've been foraging my local GameStop some more, and I picked up the following games:
$9.99
$9.99
$6.99
So I finally picked up a baseball game, which I've been meaning to do the last 5+ times I've visited GameStop, but I never really saw any games that were up to snuff, so to speak, and I didn't want to "settle" for something mediocre, knowing I wouldn't play it. I also added my first DMC game to my collection. I know, I know. Blasphemy, you say! Better late, than never I guess. I also picked up Paper Mario: TTYD because I was looking for a new GameCube game to play, and it received a great review from the main man himself, Greg Kasavin, which is about as good an endorsement as a game can get in my opinion.
But, that's not all! During a major room-cleaning session I stumbled upon some old PlayStation games that I apparently hadn't sold/trade away. There were a few duds and lackluster games, but I did actually come away with a some solid, playable games. I've decided to keep them and add them to My Collection, if only for nostalgia purposes. Some of them might even be worth another play through. Here are the games I found:
With the addition of these games to My Collection, I picked up a couple of new emblems: "Good Taste", for my obvious impeccable taste in video games (just kidding), and I've also joined the ranks of "PlayStation 2 Aficionado". Don't worry though, I'm no fanboy. I'm just a diverse gamer who's low on funds at the moment. :lol:
For the connoisseur of fine games.
Those with good taste are judicious about what games they add to their impressive collections, and would be reluctant to pollute their rows and rows of cl4ssics with anything approaching average quality. Ask these fine individuals for advice on what to buy next, because chances are, you won't go wrong by following their guidance.

PlayStation 2 aficionados gravitate towards Sony's ubiquitous console for their gaming entertainment. And why shouldn't they? You got some kind of a problem with the PS2?!
Also, over my massive consumption of Everything E3 2007, I got bumped up to the rank of "Tagger King". Yes, I've finally summited the mountain and it is good. I won't lie though. My tagging has slowed down considerably since then, but I don't plan on copping out all together. I'll still tag the news items I read, and I'm sure I'll get back to tagging games once GameSpot gets that feature working again.

Anyways, I'm off to bed. One downfall to doing the whole career thing is no more late nights during the week...unless I want to pay for it in the morning. Luckily, my job isn't too stressful or physically demanding, but the mind needs its rest as well. Hope you're all doing well. Until next time, the Dude abides.
