Here we go again! This is still a fun way to keep track of what I'm playin', even though I've been doing worse and worse with keeping up with my backlog. Lousy free time is starting to become a premium. There's still a lot of things from last year's list I haven't quite finished yet, so this might look kinda funky. Ah, who cares! Games!

[STARTED: December 26] [ELITE FOUR: February 1] I got this around when it was released, but waited to play it 'til Christmas when I got both versions for my li'l siblings as well. It's become kinda our tradition to play these games together, and it's a thing that's probably helped Pokemon stay special to me. That said, this is an objectively solid entry if you're into this series at all. Sapphire FYI
[JANUARY 11 - ONWARD] Got Bayonetta 1 and 2 from my older brother for the holidays, so I guess it's time to see what the hell's going on in this crazy corner of videogames!
THIS GOBBLED UP LIKE AN ENTIRE DAY AND SO IT'S WORTH MENTIONING The announcement of the next Fire Emblem put me in the mood to play Awakening again, so I did! I had a rare free day, and I spent... practically the entire thing getting lost in this awesome game again, hitting up the extra missions and side chapters I didn't get on my first go-around, and leveling up a whole new team of dudes just for funsies. Because Fire Emblem is funsies.
[JANUARY 17] Push mo' and mo'. I've been wanting to pick this up for a little while, and I'm happy I did. It's a fun, simple concept that spins out into like an infinity of great puzzles. It's a perfect thing to have on a 3DS when the need for a quick game pops up.
[BEGAN: February 14] [MULTIPLAYER HIGH RANK: February 21] [SINGLE PLAYER HIGH RANK: March 30] [MULTIPLAYER G RANK: April 14th] Ayup.
[BEGAN: February 16] [STORY MODE: February 22] Awyiss.
[BEGAN: June of like 2012] [FINISHED: February 23, 2015!!] Back in '12 I decided to marathon through the Half-Lifes again, and successfully got through HL1 and halfway through Opposing Force before that kinda peetered out and I got sidetracked. WELL I PICKED THAT SAVE BACK UP AND FINISHED IT FINALLY Streamed it happening too!
[BEGAN: December 22] [FINISHED: February 23] A long time coming. I always liked the bits I played of Blackthorne and always wanted to do a full run. Well, it finally happened! Starting late last year and proceeding all the way up to the end of February, I sat down once almost every week and plugged away at it bit by bit. It's a great game. It's technically considered an action game, but puzzles are at its core -- kinda feeling like a sideview Zelda at times -- and it has a good difficulty curve. It can be a bastard when it feels like it, but in a way that I had a weird respect for. ... Might as well shamelessly mention that I recorded the full playthrough, me and my friends providing "color commentary" the whole while, and it's up on the YouTubes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsa31SY1lUwzgq47HMEzigflukUxZKous
[BEGAN: March 2] Nippon Ichiiiiiiiii
[BEGAN: March 15] Here's a thing I started messing with as a part of my streaming tests. I decided I'll try to get through the rest in FUTURE STREAMS, because it's been fun. Also, goddamn this game hates you. I got through it years and years ago in All-Stars, but I never really thought about how much more effed-up this is when you can't continue per level. This thing's a slog! Of tears.
