  Unfinished

  Priority

  10. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 [PS3] - 18th of September to ?

  Ones in bold are games I played a significant amount of (and maybe a third to half is the general idea).Other games I played a significant amount of or continued after playing the main game in 2011 or before:

  8. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown [PS3]
  9. WWE '12 [PS3]

  There may be a few inconsistencies in these lists, but I don't care anymore. I'm going to try to make 2013's list easier to understand, and maybe even write a short summary of how I felt about each game.

  And these are probably my favourites (in alphabetical order):

  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
  God of War III
  inFamous 2
  Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
  Mass Effect 2
  Mass Effect 3
  Metal Gear Solid
  Metal Gear Solid 4
  Rayman Origins

  Many Movies Have Been Watched, but...

  ... not as many as in the past. I was away from home (staying at my mother's house) for just over two months. Now that they have the Internet over there, I ended up not watching as many movies as I would normally watch. I still watched seventy though. Here they are from approximate favourite to least favourite, with ones with a certain minimum rating in bold:

  1. The Dark Knight Rises
  2. Midnight in Paris
  3. The Artist
  4. The Avengers
  5. Cast Away
  6. North by Northwest
  7. Frost/Nixon

  40. Funny People
  41. Beautiful Lies
  42. Vertical Limit
  43. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

  64. How to Murder Your Wife
  65. Rage
  66. Middle Men
  67. Dance of the Dead
  68. Melinda and Melinda
  69. City of the Living Dead
  70. Dark Fury [I didn't actually dislike this, it's just that I wasn't sure where to place it because it was shorter than expected.]

  As always I like to count how many movies in different languages I watched.

  Cantonese: 2
  English: 54
  Finnish: 1
  French: 4
  Japanese: 1
  Kazakh: 1
  Korean: 1
  Mandarin: 1
  Mandarin/Cantonese/English/Malay: 1
  None [kind of]: 1
  Spanish: 1
  Thai: 1

  For some reason those add up to 69 and not 70. Oh well.

  I feel like posting on GameSpot more.

  I've finished Final Fantasy XIII-2's [PS3] main story but I want to do a few more things in it before I'm done. Deus Ex [PC] should be finished by tomorrow. I started Papo & Yo on Monday and I don't expect it to take too long for me to finish. I plan on getting Guild Wars 2 when it comes out, so it'll be good to make time by finishing off the games I've been playing.

  I've been watching a lot of wrestling recently too.
