  12/12/12 - My Annual Super Awesome Gaming Day

  Welp, It came much later then in past years, but it is almost here. My annual super awesome gaming day. Basically every year I get busier and busier and have less and less times for games. This year I bought my first home and also have a new job with longer hours then I did in the past. I still can squeeze a few hours of gaming in from time to time, but it's few and far between. When I was around 27 (I'm 33 now) or so I decided to take 1 day off of work every year and pley games all day long. No girlfriend, no friends (except maybe online ones), no distractions. Just about 16+ hours of gaming goodness. It is my selfish day. I eat what I want, and play what I want. The phone is turned off. And it is awesome.

  Every year I put together a time line and schedule of what I intend to play. It's more of something that gets my hyped up for the day then an real schedule. If I get into a game, sometimes I will just play it all day. Last year I posted it up here and people seemed to get a kick out of the idea. So with out further adieu, the 2012 game day...

  9:30am - Wake up, Let the Dog out, Run him a bit, Eat something small.

  10:00am - NBA 2k. Hey my Lakers are sucking in real life, but on NBA 2k they can play like they should!

  11:00am - Skyrim. I did beat Skyrim when it came out, but then never got a chance to get back into it. I made a new guy (ranger/assassin type) and am looking forward to leveling him up a little.

  1:00pm - Lunch. Taco Bell... what else could it be on a gaming binge? Play with the dog, etc.

  2:00pm - Bayonetta. Still sealed in the plactic from when I picked it up for $10 over a year ago. Going to try it out.

  3:00pm - Bully (just like last year lol) Love this game, want to get a little further in it or maybe ever beat it.

  4:00pm - Gears of War 3 Campaign. Will probably be on this one for a while. Can't wait. Only made it through act 1 so far.

  6:00pm - Forza 4 - Level up a bit.

  7:00pm - Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning - Suprisingly fun game.

  8:00pm - Another food break

  9:00pm - A game I bought and never played. I have a bunch of sealed games.

  10:00pm - 2:00am - Some online gaming. Possibly Gears 3, Maybe MW3, Forza 4, Spades, Uno who knows.

  And thats it!

  My Annual Super Awesome Gaming Day!!!! 2011 edition

  Prefix:

  So I am a 31 year old gamer without much time to game. I have a full-time job, a girlfriend, a puppy, friends, family, etc. In a normal week I probally can get about 10 hours or less of gaming time in. I remember when I was younger and could play games all weekend long any weekend I wanted. I remember playing games in 10 hour stretches. And I loved it. So about 4 years ago I had a planned day off and I played games all day long. For like 15 hours. After that day I decided to make it an annual stress relieving tradition. Every year I take one random day off from workin Jan and play games all day. I make a tenitive schedule of what I want to play (I never stick to it, what fun would that be?) mostly just to get hyped up for the day. I also like to play a lot of games I neverfinished or have yet to start.No job, no friends (except online ones), no girlfriend, just games. So this is what I have planned and later I will post what I did.

  9am-10am - Wake up, let the pup out, hit up Dunkin' Donuts for a coffee and bagel sandwich. Get everything all ready to go (pot of coffee on, lap top, games out, etc)

  10am-10:30am - Either Pac-Man C.E. DX or Geometry Wars to get my eyes open and ready to go. Both awesome games.

  10:30am - 12pm - Super Mario Galaxy 2 - I could see myself getting sucked into this game and playing it for hours. This is the only game I remember in the last month playing for a good amount of time in one sitting. I think I played it for like 4 hours the day I got it.

  12:00pm-12:45 - MLB '10 The Show - Best baseball game ever made. Haven't played it in months, but def gonna get a game in befor lunch.

  12:45pm-1:15pm - Lunch - What else for a gaming day? Taco Bell, baby!

  1:15pm-2:15pm - Fable 3 - Need a little easy RPG action.

  2:15pm-3:15pm - Bully SE - Haven't played this game in over a year. Would like to make a little progress in the campaign.

  3:15pm-3:30pm - Break - Let the Dog out, Smoke, Etc

  3:30pm-5:30pm - Read Dead Redemption - Another game I have hardly played, but I really liked. Want to at least completea few missions in this.

  5:30pm-6:15pm - NBA 2k11 - Maybe the best NBA game ever. Probally will do one of the Jordan Challenges

  6:15-6:30 - Break

  6:30pm-7:30pm - Forza Motorsport 3 - Best console sim racer ever! Level up a little.

  7:30pm-8:30pm - New Super Mario Bros Wii - Got this for Christmas and have only been able to play it once. Awesome old-school platforming action!

  8:30pm-9:00pm - Dinner - Thinking pizza...

  9:00pm-10:00pm - Crackdown 2 - Also have only been able to play this once since I got it and I wanna play through it a little.

  10:00pm-11:00pm - Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Haven't even started the campaign yet and thats what I plan to do...

  11:00-11:15 - Break

  11:15-12:00am - Halo Reach - Currently my fav game atm. Will just do some quick online matches.

  12:00am-2:00am (maybe later) - Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - So close to getting 1250/1250 gamerscore on this one. Been playing this game for years but haven't touched it in months. Just gotta complete some Shivering Isles stuff.

  And the Wii is added ...

  So only having the PS360 combo lasted for about 14 months. Found a sale on Wii's for $100 and picked one up. Totally worth it for the Nintendo exclusives like Monster Hunter Tri, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Guess I will wait til ned gen for that gaming PC Still Like the 360 the best.
