Cosine's Corner

So, probably against my better judgement I picked up a Nintendo 3DS. I've been deliberating on picking one up ever since I got a DSi XL back in September '10. I've read reviews, messed around with a floor model at GameStop, and yammered with the GameStop manager about it. I didn't pre-order since I was so on-the-fence about it. So today came and I impulsively decided to get one. I didn't pick up any games with it because the launch games really don't pique my interest. I'm mainly waiting for the re-releases of Ocarina of Time (4th purchase of the title, le sigh) and Starfox 64. I'm not going to bother with an unboxing video or anything of it since I find those videos really boring and flat-out stupid. But, I will do a kind of "first impressions" post complete with pics from my cell phone since I have no other camera.

I have a serious case of game collection-itis. I have so many games I'm in the middle of and so many games that I own but haven't even so much as touched since I bought them. I even have plenty that I started but got distracted by some other game and forget where exactly I am in the game and should start over instead of picking up where I was just sitting there in utter confusion. I think the biggest bane of my gaming existence is Steam and its wondrous, glorious holiday/weekly sales. I'm intervening with myself. I've made a decision that will, hopefully, get me writing again as well as end up saving myself some money in the long run. I'm going to stop buying games simply because I want to own them. I'm going to finish every single game I have to completion as much as I can stand (at least the console games, my PC list is downright frightening me) and not buy anymore games until I've knocked a good chunk out of this list (again, the console games), this go...
