The Video Game Give-Away Quest

I've been playing video games most of my life - my earliest memories of playing was being scared as traveling through the Gerudo Desert in the original Zelda because of all the Leevers that would come out of the ground - and over the course of my 22-year life I've gathered a decent collection. I won't say it's the best, or biggest, collection - it isn't - but it's one that has survived, and been strengthened by, trade-ins at GameStop and trades with friends. And, currently, the only purpose it has is to take up space on one of my bookcases.

After reading my friend Marco's blog post - about selling of his video game collection in order to (re)organize his life into a more righteous direction - I decided to do the same. To add some fun to this I'm planning on playing through every single game I own before I give them away, trade, or sell them.  And according to how much I like the game, combined with its replayability, I'll decide which ones I will (not) give/trade/sell.  Now, there will be some that I won't want to finish,  because they're trash; there will also be some that I won't know if I should keep or not until I've finished all of them.

*bold = playing through right now
italic = borrowing




With each game finished will come a review, or a rant of how trashy the game is. (When I post a review, I'll link the game to the review)

A wave of nostalgia is running over me right now: attachment sucks. Also, this might be a little difficulte without a NES, PS3, and XB(360).


P.S. - If you want to call dibs on any of these games, let me know.

I'm glad I have me to hang around with - if not I'd probably die. Good thing I like my humor too.

I Love Pie

How do I know this?  I know this because whenever there is pie in the place I'm residing in, and I know of pie in that residence, I will wake up in the morning hungry, wanting pie.  I also know that I love pie because it is the one food that I don't give a frak about leaving some for others.  Not only that, but I will get mad when there is pie gone, even if it was I who ate that portion of the pie.



As of right now I'm sitting at the "family" computer that is stationed comfortably near the kitchen.  Between the computer (with me) and the kitchen is the "butler's pantry."  There are four pies in the "butler pantry" that I can smell.....



Thank the lord for a high metabolism, and some self-control.




[Couldn't think of anything good to write about, and REALLY wanted to get my blog going, so here's an excrutiatingly boring blog.]


P.S.  -  Peach-Pear is my favourite kind of pie.

P.P.S.  -  What is your favourite kind of pie?
