None :( I just ended up beating Max Payne 1 and 2 for the umpteenth goddamn time.

Yeah, I accomplished nothing I said I was going to in 2008.

By 2010 I plan to have played every piece of IF stored on the IF Archive and provide my own reviews of each. As if that weren't enough I also plan to play every FRUA design module archived at the Magic Mirror and provide my own reviews of each of them too.

Wish me luck! (I'm gonna need it to accomplish this daunting task!)

Damn, yeah, I didn't finish any of the games I listed either. I did happen to start playing one that was on Worm's list - Persona 3 - and, like he was at that time, I'm really liking it but also not getting around to playing it as much as I want.

I did manage to finish Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas last night.

Yay me.

I only got Persona 3 finished.

I don't know what happened to my FF3 ROM, but the game erupts into such bullshit that I got sick of it. Right after you get the class that lets you jump, you run into an enemy that you have to beat by managing to be mid jump when he attacks, it was fucking infuriating.

All the other ones I just wholesale lost interest in. Well I guess we're going to have a 2009 thread in a few days, get your picks FUCKING READY.

That game was probably one of the most humbling gaming experiences ever for me. I warezed expecting to fucking hate it, and lo and behold it's better than the majority of Western RPGs out there.

I said the big thing about time would be to do the dungeons in marathons and get them out of the way, because every full moon is just one boss battle coupled with an FMV event, so if your guys are grinded all the way up you can easily get through those without it taking much time.
