The new creed.

On Saturday evening, my real-life friend firelordozaie (in case you've seen his screenname around) declared me a total gaming puss. This is in response to the fact that I'm still only on mission 14 of normal mode for Fire Emblem (Blazing Sword), I haven't beat Fallout 3, Alan Wake, Fable II, a single Mario & Luigi RPG, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Halo 3 ODST, a single game I've ever...

On Saturday evening, my real-life friend firelordozaie (in case you've seen his screenname around) declared me a total gaming puss. This is in response to the fact that I'm still only on mission 14 of normal mode for Fire Emblem (Blazing Sword), I haven't beat Fallout 3, Alan Wake, Fable II, a single Mario & Luigi RPG, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Halo 3 ODST, a single game I've ever owned for the Wii, Kingdom Hearts, Okami, and the list goes on and on. 
 
So he's holding me to a new rule; I need to either A-) Beat a game a week or B-) Advance at least one mission in Fire Emblem. In the case of B-), that means if I decide at any point to start the game over, "advancing a mission" means getting to the next farthest mission I've hit. So, for example, if I was to start over at mission 14 because I needed to relevel my characters (not gonna happen) I would need to get to mission 15 in order to meet the creed. 
 
I'm thinking of starting with Fallout 3, Alan Wake, or Fable II. Any suggestions based on what I had written above?
