Probably no one will read this, and that's A-OK because this is for my own records, you guys! What are you doing all up in my space? Anyway! I've decided to make a list of my gaming projects for me or crazy future generations to look back at later. Basically I'm just gonna add games as I play them, and then we'll see how weird my travels look by the end of the year! How does that sound? What? I'm talking to myself? I knew that.
Dunno if I want to count replays or strictly first-time conquests only. Chances are I'll be inconsistent about that! Rock on!
Also, I wish I could have line breaks in the list text! MAYBE THIS SHOULDN'T BE A LIST?

-- [STARTED: November (2011)] -- ["FINISHED": March.] -- I played this one intermittently since release, getting eternally sidetracked and goofing off as would seem the standard practice. Finally this March I decided that Felps had earned his rest, so we finally put Alduin to the sword, got hitched, and called it an adventure. Good times all around. For the sake of these RECORDS I should probably go check exactly what my playtime ended up around. I'm going to estimate 80ish hours. That's hearty. So yeah, I definitely want to come back to Skyrim some day. Likely I'll start a new character to explore the regions of the world that Felps only glossed over.
-- [STARTED: February.] -- [FINISHED: February, like a week later!] -- If I decide to be more picky about what I put on this list, Soul Calibur V probably wouldn't make the cut since it was hardly an adventure. It had a story mode though (it was okay, I guess!) and I finished it, so CONSIDER THIS TECHNICALLY CONQUERED! Obviously the reason to have a Soul Calibur is to have at it with multiple players, and this'll be good for that for some time to come.
-- [STARTED: March (... 2011)] -- [FINISHED: February!!] -- Hey, Pokemon Black's pretty good. No you shut up. Anyway, I actually 'beat' the game last year not too long after it came out, but now IT'S GOT A GODDAMN RIBBON ON IT. I came back to it and let it consume a good part of my February as I did all the post-game shenanigans. I defeated the amped-up Elite Four + Champion, and CAUGHT THEM ALL. EVERY POKEMON. (from Black/White). Hey, that's still cool!! JOIN ME IN FIST BUMPS!!
-- [STARTED: February.] -- [FINISHED: March.] -- Another fighting game! Somehow I feel better about counting this one as an ADVENTURE WELL DONE. Probably because it's a better game than SCV, and I got more of a kick out of the story sequences to boot. Admittedly, there's nothing here for you if you aren't a fan of the show. I set up the difficulty, and completed the story mode with every character. It's fun stuff. Also, Fate/Stay Night is one of the best animes around. For serious.
-- [STARTED: February.] -- [PLAY UNTIL THE END OF TIME] Yes. The greatest game ever made.
-- [STARTED: March.] -- [FINISHED: April!] -- So, this is pretty great, you guys. It's been awhile since my last good ol' JRPG. Battles, banter, and game overs galore! Hard mode's no joke, apparently! I finished the main game, and happily proceeded to beat the additional Future Arc. Around 90 hours on the clock, all in all. Just gotta say, this is a solid package.
-- [STARTED: April.] -- [FINISHED: August] -- Alright, you. I see how it is. You're a tricky one. So much fun, but sooo long. This one could take awhile, folks. But... maybe I'm on track to a July finish?! Wait... did you just DISC READ ERROR me? WHAT?! Well, nice try! I fixed the Wii, and we're good to go again! At long last, the journey is over! I WIN, XENOBLADE. I BEAT YOU. And it was good!
-- [STARTED: April.] -- [FINISHED: April.] -- I played a good amount of the multiplayer last year, and absolutely loved it. But for some reason or another, I never got very far into the single player. Well, I finally got around to it, and finished it quick. It blew me away. And now, months later, I'm still playing it thanks to the Perpetual Testing Initiative.
-- [STARTED: April.] -- [FINISHED: December] -- I've been sitting on this one for a little while, and finally decided to break into it... even though I'm still working on Xenoblade. I like its style, and am eager to play more. We'll see how well I manage to work this one in. NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: It took me months to do the last couple of missions for some reason, but I finally did it and it was just fine!!!!!!!!
-- [STARTED: April.] --[FINISHED: June!] -- Oh, and I went and did this.
