1. The Quest of The Thousand Discs
   

   Player Chronicle -- Posted on Jul 16 2009

   Give or take a few...
   
   I was recently taking inventory of my game collection (I like to keep track of things to make sure I wasn't ripped off or anything) and I found out I had 226 titles (Not including handheld games), most of which I haven't touched (sometimes I like to watch my dad do all the playing, so there's some I've seen, but haven't experianced).
   
   So now I'm on this crazy quest to finish ALL of them, no matter how horrible they might be (I shudder at the thought of the PS1 Harry Potter games. Those were absolute torture).
   
   I also thought, while I'm at it, I might as well do an in depth analysis and review of the games. Even if I'm a complete religious nut about a select few of them, I'll hold off on giving it an awesome score just because I like it. Those games have to work to earn thier scores.
   
   If I ever get tired of that, I can take a break and work on any of the other crazy fanprojects I've got planned:
   
   - Fully functional Varia (and/or) Power Suit (real metal, able to shoot something [even if it's something weird like water balloons])
   - Scaled replica of the Pillars of Nosgoth (preferably real marble)
   - Full sized Ancient mural
   - Several hand-crafted history tomes (right now I'm trying to collaborate with the entire LOK community, but if it gets big I'll need to contact Eidos. Maybe they'll have something to contribute, like concept art or something...)
   - Acquire either a flute or Ocarina (I'm getting kinda tired of Clarinet) and incorperate it into either a Zelda or random fantasy costume.
   - Get back to practicing sprite-work
   - Learn how to forge swords, and then one-up the 'Cheese' Reaver CORRECTLY

   Thanks guys! For now I'm using Microsoft Works database, but I'll check out that site.
   
   As for the cosplay, it's coming along very slowly, but maybe I might have a little something by halloween. I like to treat my costumes like my writing: If I can't correctly represent an established character, I'm just as happy with a sub-character, or even an original one. (random generic guard #3748 anyone?)

   I too, have a metric ****-ton of games to beat, and it seems like I'm acquiring them faster than I can finish them. Last time I checked my backlog, I had around 150 games to beat. At least 20 are RPG's too, so that's quite the timesink I'm looking at. If you want to keep track of your collection, as well as what you have to beat, check out www.backloggery.com . The worst part about owning a ton of games, is having to play the crappy ones, like you said.
   
   I'm curious to see your cosplay stuff too. I've always been too lazy to do any of my own, but have always been fascinated by what people can make.

   You and Dynafire will get along well, as I know he as too many games that have gone unfinished...which he's now challenged himself to care for.
   
   He's also shared some nice tools for organizing and categories such a large game library, so you might ask him about that and maybe even use each other for motivation
   
   Keep us updated and don't be afraid to bombard us with video game reviews...even if a game is epically horrible, lol
