Oblivion and Marvin Strikes Back both showed up in the mail today!

Oblivion

One of the greatest games ever created. The game is just so massively huge but with so much attention to detail at the same time. If you like games that drive you to explore, you will lose dozens upon dozens of hours in this game.

Agreed. Don't let the game let you get lost though. It seriously took me 3 tries to finish the main quest, just from the amount of side questing/explore I did. I didn't actually finish the game until just before Skyrim released... and now I'm having the same problem w/ that. haha

I will agree with you about Skyrim. I'm still putting time into that and I honestly have no idea what the main story is or how far along I am in it and I have no problem with that

I have Oblivion and Skyrim but havent gotten into them the way that I did Morrowind. That game single handedly cost me my previous relationship (and sadly because of it, my previous collection ... damn her).

For me, it was more like hundreds upon hundreds...

Ouch.  So do you look upon Morrowind now with fondness or hatred?

My boyfriend would often joke about how he would lose me to Skyrim once it came out.  Funny thing is, he started playing it before me (I have yet to pick it up).  Luckily, he's slightly ADD with games and leaps from one to another in no time, so I'll likely play it soon.

In the past few days I've received my Japanese 3DS with Project X Zone - it's a lot of fun! Having never owned a 3DS before now I was pleasantly surprised at how good the e-shop was, there's a ton of good demos on there (EX Troopers, Bravely Default, Taiko no Tasujin, Monster Hunter, etc) and unlike my experiences with the Wii shop I've actually been able to casually browse - and find things!

I picked up a couple of guides today:
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of time Explorers of Darkness
Starship Titanic
for $3 each

Today I got STUFF!

First and most importantly, Fire Emblem: Awakening, a week before it comes out! Turns out EBgames stores in Canada had it in stock already so yay!
And I got Hyrule Historia which is twice as big as I thought it would be.

And also Lost Planet (the colonies edition), Earth Defense Force 2017 and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire.

I also got the hyrule historia! And ya this thing is flipping huge!

How is the content? I thought about picking it up but I wasn't sure how the actual writing in it would be.

It's well translated. Though I noticed in the listing of game in the back it said The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition for GameCube was Club Nintendo only. Though in the US it was released w/ a special edition GameCube instead of through Club Nintendo, because back then we didn't have CN like we do now. So that's some wrong information.

All in all, it's a great art book and has a lot of info on the Zelda series. It even has the "official timeline" if you're into that kinda thing.
