Yesterday I fired up the old PS1 (via PS3 emulator) to catch up on some unfinished business. Once upon a time I rented a game called Xenogears, played it for a couple of hours, then had to go do some stupid baseball crap and never got to finish.

Since this is my blog and I can talk about WHATEVER I WANT, I’ve decided to review some video games. I wont say I spend a lot of time playing video games these days, but the time I do spend is quality time. I just don’t have the time I used to, say, back when I was living on a certain grandmothers floor. I’m not going to fire up the old PS3 and waste my precious time slogging through just any piece of crap. I want a killer app, an escape, a engaging chunk of digital art to blow my hair back and make me feel like smoking a cigarette with finished because I’m that satisfied.

It makes me feel like I’m not missing anything since I’m pretty much missing everything now that I’m committed to this life of adult responsibility. However, the times I do get behind a controller are so momentous I feel the deep need to capture my worthless thoughts about them, and annoy you.
