I don't eat ramen all that much anymore, but when I used to, it was the uncooked, plain, cheap stuff, usually. If I did eat it, it was usually a case of knowing I needed to eat something but had nothing else available. Not too fond of soups in general.
I've yet to find any energy drink that was better than the now discontinued Rockstar 2X. I search and search and search but come up empty-handed every time. Aside from that, it's hard to beat good ol' standard Red Bull.
I think I've just accepted that I'll never be able to play all the games I own. I'd have to stop visiting cheapassgamer, buy games upon release so I have less money for sales, sell off my last-gen consoles and handhelds, and not play RPGs to get off on the right foot for the upcoming generation of games. Or maybe have some impulse control, (which I have gotten better about), but that's probably not going to happen, either.
Realistically, the best things I could do would be to stop playing games I've already beaten over and over and over and over and not visit cheapassgamer on a daily basis. I'm playing Dragon Age: Origins, KOTOR and Dark Souls again for the umpteenth time. And despite the fact that cheapassgamer has saved me a stupid amount of money, I think I end up spending all the money that I saved on more games instead of actually saving it.
I wanted to like Xenoblade Chronicles but did not enjoy the combat at all. Guessing it also didn't help that I decided to take a rather long break from the game after putting in roughly twenty-five to thirty hours, which made it pretty much impossible for me to pick it up and play because I'd forgotten how to play and what the hell was going on in the story by that point.
It was the last game I ever put in my Wii, and every time I turn my head and glance past that dust-covered, tiny, black console, I wonder if I was on the verge of hitting the part of the story where it completely consumed me. Nearly everything I've heard/hear about Xenoblade is something that makes me nod my head and say, "Yeah, sounds like I'm going to like this game."
On the other hand, I absolutely loved Dragon Age: Origins and played through it multiple times on the 360 and PC, which made this poll decision a rather easy one.
The plan is to wait until Black Friday next year, but Amazon Warehouse usually screws up plans I make for myself. Though, barring some awesome Amazon Warehouse Deals' deal, I'm in no rush. Also, I just traded in about $140 worth of games to Best Buy in the past month, and I've made some very poorly thought out purchases in the past with Best Buy gift cards when I've sat on them for too long.
There's still a lot of life left in the PC I built a year a and a half ago, and it's very difficult to justify a new console when I'm already committed to a PC and saving tons of money by buying games on PC instead of either of my current consoles. I mean, hell, just bought an ACIV/SC: Blacklist voucher on eBay for $30 because why the hell not? I just hope next-gen Dynasty Warriors is available by the time I finally buy a new console, which oddly enough, is the idea that excites me most about next-gen gaming consoles.
I've so many fond memories of Vanilla WoW. My favorite and least favorite memories were from AQ40. The guild I was in was top dog before realm transfers were a thing and we stagnated for months on Huhu / Twin Emperors, which eventually ended up destroying the guild I was in.
But I ended up getting picked up by a transfer guild that was knee deep in Naxxramas, and through them, I finally got to see the end of AQ40. Killing C'thun was definitely my fondest memory from any MMO I've played. It felt wonderful to finally experience the end of the raid that was the undoing of the guild I spent the majority of my WoW career in.
Even though I enjoyed and played halfway through Burning Crusade, my experiences after vanilla WoW never quite reached the same heights as the ones I had in AQ40 and Naxxramas. For me, there was just something about the 40 man raid encounter that made the sense of accomplishment feel that much better. I'd have to admit, though, that if vanilla WoW raids were 25 man, my original guild probably wouldn't have disintegrated.
Far Cry 3 has been in my PS3 since February ish. I've been trying to decide between Tales of Xillia, Ni no Kunu, and Yakuza 3, but deciding between those games has proven to be difficult, and I always end up deciding to play nothing after deliberation.
I'm tempted to pick up a PC pre-order from the CAG forums because it's cheap, but given my current backlog, it's probably in my best interest to wait for the inevitable Amazon / Steam sale in half a year or so.
Really doubt it, but who knows? Peer pressure's a bitch, and my friends, family and co-workers mostly look at PC gaming as some foreign, hard to get into thing.
As of late, my time's been around a 85/5/5/5 split between PC/3DS/360/PS3, and I still own a lot of great console games that I've yet to touch for the Wii, 360 and PS3. Feels like I've spent a lot of this generation playing stuff from the previous two generations, and on top of that, I don't know if there's much upside to being an early adopter of new video game hardware. If I do blow any money on hardware, it'll probably be upgrading to an SLI setup while I wait it out for a handful of exclusive games I'm interested in for the PS4 are released and an awesome Black Friday scale bundle.
