Finished my first game for the year!

1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5) 01/02

Really enjoyed the shit out of this one, they took everything that made Spider-Man great and turned it up to 11!!!

Also.. I already had to make an exception to my goal of not getting a new game for the PS5 till I finish my previous one. I was gifted a copy of Demon's Souls and well... yea fuck that. I'll get to it eventually but I'm not ready to take that one... so I'm just going to skip right over that for now and play Immortal Feynx Rising.

In 2020 I had a few goals that I didn't end up completing, like getting my first platinum as well as a list of specific games that i got maybe half way through. For 2021 I'm going to be a little less specific this time, and I only have two goals.

2021 Goals:
1. Complete the 52 game challenge
2. Finish EVERY physical PS5 game I add to the collection this year. I will not buy any PS5 game till the one I am currently playing is beat. If I receive a game as a gift, I will finish that as well before I purchase anything for myself. Digital games obtained via PS+ do not count unless I download the game, if the game is installed on the PS5, I must finish it. The ONE exception to this will be if Pre-orders for Final Fantasy XVI open up.

23. Astro's Playroom (PS5) - 12/28

I really did a shit job playing games this year.. I spent too much time playing wow instead of other games. I am 100% going to fix that in 2021! going for the full 52 again.

In 2020 besides hitting 52 games, I had a list of specific games I had wanted to beat, I got to maybe half of them unfortunately. For 2021 I'm sticking to just a number goal again. Making it a little easier on myself. So here we go! good luck everyone.

2021 List:
1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5) 01/02

I have NO idea who my Santa is but I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! Tales of the Abyss has been on my want list for a VERY long time and I can't believe this one is still sealed!! From the Abyss is one of those games that I really didn't know much about before adding it to my wishlist and honestly kinda forgot I added it lol; but I was super excited to see it when I opened the package. I LOVE getting games that I don't know anything about, its just really fun popping in a game where you don't know what to expect! I cant wait to get started on both of these!!!  OH and I also got a super awesome lanyard with a bunch of Final Fantasy sprites on it!!  I really wish I was able to make the stream this year, it would have been fun getting to share these awesome gifts with everyone on camera!
Thank you again so much whoever you are!

Classic Video Games / Letting go of the CRT

« on: December 03, 2020, 11:33:21 am »

I think its time for me to get rid of my CRT... I really don't want to, but it just takes up so much damn space... I've been looking into things like the retrotink and it seems like there are plenty of solutions out there to play your old consoles on a modern screen but I just dont know how i feel about it... Do any of you have any experience letting go of your CRTs and making the transition to a modern screen? Please share your success stories and setups, I need some inspiration!!

Classic Video Games / Re: Is anyone among VGC still into collecting retro or playing retro?

« on: November 02, 2020, 11:33:01 am »

I still love retro stuff. I still play a lot of it.
I still hunt for stuff.
I just don’t buy near as much as I did....

This expect for me its that I have most of the retro stuff I want. I still keep an eye out for the few pieces I'd like to add to my collection, but I don't expect to find it at all lol.

Any word on if they still make you buy the games like Stadia does... cause if its just all included for $6 a month... that sounds a little interesting to me..

MAN.. i really kinda dropped the ball this year... I started playing WoW Classic right around the beginning of the pandemic and that's pretty much all I've been playing. I am about 30 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles on the switch and I really need to get back to that. what a year guys.
