  VGM the slacker is not dead yet!

  Yikes, I haven't written a blog in quite a while. Nor have I commented on anyone's blog for a while... although I'll try to catch up in the next few days with everyone. So, it's my turn to catch up on what's been happening with my life:
  
  1. Christmas
  Didn't get much this year, but I did get a new office chair for my room. It replaces the metal folding chair I had before, which was really uncomfortable. At least I can relax in this chair. Other things I got included new earphones, a Monopoly card game that I don't know how to play, and a pair of jeans that didn't fit me (I'm exchanging them today). However, my sister did get the PS2 game "We Love Katamari". It's a really bizarre game, but she likes it, so I can't complain.
  
  2. New Year's
  For starters, I was asleep at midnight, so I couldn't see the ball drop in NYC's Times Square this year. I've been dog tired this whole vacation, and I've also been trying to adjust my sleep schedule to a "normal" pattern, so that explains why I was asleep. Anyway, I'm both happy and sad to say goodbye to 2009. I'm sad because the latter half of 2009 was a good time for me, but happy because the former half wasn't, and I'm looking forward to seeing what 2010 has in store. Even so, it's still just another year.
  
  3. Gaming
  As of now, my PS2 and DS are the consoles getting the most use. I've been trying my hand at the games in Megaman X Collection, since the only game I beat out of that series was the first. But damn, the other games are tough as nails... I did make some progress in X2 and X4, but the others are just downright hard. For example, the farthest I've ever gotten in X4 was the final boss, but beating it is no simple task... definitely harder than the final fight in X1, that's for sure. So, for now, I put those games on hold. Currently, I'm playing through my second journey in Persona 4, which was left unplayed for a while. I'm currently up to July 10 in that playthrough.
  
  As for the DS, I'm still playing Bowser's Inside Story, yet slowly making progress since I haven't played it much lately. Currently, I am here:

  ***SPOILER***

  I just got the last Star Cure and am heading to Peach's Castle

  Finally, on the PC gaming front, I took advantage of Steam's holiday sale and bought Mirror's Edge and GTA4. I'll get to them when I have the time.
  
  That's about it from me. School starts the week of the 17th, so that's when I'll start to cut back again.
  
  EDIT: Oh yes, I forgot two things:
  1. I achieved level 50 on GS.
  2. The game I want the most this month is Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars. From what I've seen, it looks like a ton of fun.

  A Very Tough Decision

  The other day, I was faced with a dilemma. As many of you know, I am currently unemployed and running out of cash. I still have a list of games I'm awaiting, so I needed some money. Well, this is where it gets tough. I decided to sell my Xbox 360 and the games I had for it. I haven't played it in quite some time and I already canceled my Gold subscription due to the PS3 getting Netflix streaming, so selling it seemed like the right thing to do. (I already pledged to get an Elite "Jasper" model when I get money again.) The troubling thing is, I had no choice but to take it to GameStop, who only gave me $100 for everything. Can you say "ripoff"? I know, I might have made more cash selling it online, but I had a very bad experience trying to sell a 40GB PS3 on eBay, so that wasn't an option. Anyway, it was a done deal last week. That also explains why I took my gamertag off my profile, since I'll only be using it for Games for Windows purposes now. If you want to de-friend me on XBL because of this, that's fine. Just know that if you hold out for a while, I will have a 360 again... eventually.
  
  In other gaming news, I recently bought Spirit Tracks from Amazon for the great price of $25 during their DS best-sellers sale a few days ago. It should arrive by sometime after Christmas, so that'll be my present to myself. I still have to buy presents for Mom and my sister, though, so my shopping isn't over yet.
  
  Finally, I know some of you have been wondering where I've been, since I haven't been posting as much lately. I just finished my fall semester of school, so I'll have more time now. I have been doing other things in my spare time, such as playing games and watching Netflix DVD's, so that explains my lack of activity. I'm gonna try and bring it back up, but that also depends on you people who post in OT RC as well as the OCC... I hardly find time to post when those places are active anymore.
