Alright. Let me start out with a few introductory matters. I'm a first year University student who is working to be able to afford bills and get things I want. Surprisingly, I'm relatively well off financially, so that's not really a factor. What this school+work factor gives me a lack of is time. Yessir, I'm saying it, I'm running out of time for games. 
 
Since I've been here, (September 19th, for reference) I've found this charming, yet slightly sketchy, used game store that just happens to be en route to one of my favorite destinations: my girlfriend's dorm. So I found myself their alot. The prices are alright, pretty comparable with Amazon when you add in the shipping, and decently cheaper than Gamestop or some other game store. The tempting part, however, was that they run a near constant "buy two get one free" sale on used games, and they accept the "University Money" on our ID cards that comes with our meal plans. In other words, the cash isn't coming straight from my bank account. So, I may have gotten a few games. Some may say bad ones. but I'll leave those opinions to you. These are those: 
 
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 
The Saboteur 
Deadly Premonition 
Resident Evil 5 
Mirror's Edge 
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 
 
So a pretty hefty list of games to start out with, considering this was a two week period. But there's more. I have tons of games already, I think after those 6 I'm touching the 100 360 Games mark, if not slightly over. Some of which I never touched, never beat, or I'm not content with the amount of time I've put into them. But that's not the point of this. I happened to have a 10$ online WalMart gift card to waste, so I went to their used games section to see what I could come up with. 
 
And ta-da, SoulCalibur IV ends up in my mailbox a few days later. 
 
At this point, I've only gotten a chance to play TFU, so that makes a six game backlog in barely three weeks, and I'm not even anywhere near beating TFU. In fact, I'm sort of stuck. But, of course, there's more. Woo! It was my birthday last week. So, a $50 Amazon gift card made it's way into my inbox, as some of you may remember from my post then. Not wanting to give into the temptation of buying Def Jam Rapstar (which would go horribly, horribly wrong and probably irritate my whole floor), I quickly bought games to take away the temptation. 3 days later, and two games appear in my stack that weren't there. 
 
Critically, this is the best batch of games I've bought, containing both Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption. I know, not a bad thing. And, as of now, I've temporarily abandoned my quest on TFU and started the Saboteur, which I'm surprisingly enjoying, despite no one else seeming to. I'd like to keep playing, as it was one of the original 3 (from the original 6 mentioned) that I bought, so I could try to worth through these games chronologically. And here comes the real issue. 
 
Tuesday, 2 more games are coming: DJ Hero 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. I know I'll spend ridiculous hours in new Vegas, and the original DJ hero is one of my favorite games, so I know I won't put that down for a good while. the next week brings more problems. Fable III is also reserved. So that'll make 12 games in just over 6 or 7 weeks. I'm sure just the last three will occupy me until November. 
 
November starts a whole other beast. The 16th (?) brings both Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, so again, I'll be marred down in the vast amount of games I have. It's just a lot of time, and I feel bad that I can't devote more time to them. 
 
This blog is pointless, designed to kill time while my laundry finishes drying. But, if you made it this far, thank you. Comments, compliments, and even criticisms are taken with happiness, and it'd be cool to know someones right along the same problem that I am. Until then, I have to keep praying that I can finish a majority, or at least a sizeable minority, of these games over winter break. Thanks for reading!
