  My parents are going to buy a PS3?!?!

  I was visiting my parents recently when my dad dropped a bombshell on me: "I'm going to buy The Beatles Rock Band when it comes out on September 9." After my initial shock, I tried to explain to my dad that he would need a system to play it. "That's okay," he said. "I'll buy that, too." WTF?

  He said he wasn't concerned with the potential $400 total price tag for the system and game, and he had no preference for any one system. So naturally, since I already own a 360 and Wii, it made sense that he would get a PS3. My parents also love their HD programming so the Blu Ray player sold him. This means that not only can I save the $150 I was going to spend on The Beatles RB, I can also save several hundred more on the PS3 I was going to buy this holiday season. Sweet!!!

  My All-Time Favorite Games (2009 Update)

  1. Final Fantasy VI
  2. Chrono Trigger
  3. Final Fantasy IV
  4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  5. Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
  6. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  7. Resident Evil 4
  8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
  9. Starcraft
  10. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

  I kind of struggled with 7-10, and I see these changing frequently. 1-3 have been constant for 10+ years and will likely never change.

  Finally making a dent in my huge backlog of games

  From the months of January to July, I was buying games pretty regularly but didn't have any time to play them b/c it was my last semester of law school and then I took the Bar Exam. But now that I'm finished with school and have a broken leg, it's the perfect combination for the summer of gaming.

  So here's how my summer breakdown looks:

  Currently playing:

  • Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
  • Super Paper Mario
  • Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
  • Assassin's Creed
  • Forza Motorsport 2
  • Star Wars: KOTOR

  • Gears of War
  • Fable: The Lost Chapters
  • Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
  • Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
  • Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
  • Braid
  • The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion GOTY Edition
  • Civilization Revolution (DS)
  • Madden NFL 09

  Wow, I had no idea how big this list was until I typed it. It looks like I have my work cut out for me, but since I still can't walk for another month I've got nothing but time on my hands.
