About Me
My name is Anthony and I'm a gamer.

I have almost exclusively played my games on consoles from the Atari 2600 my Dad had when I was little to the NES, Genesis, SNES (After PSX came out), PSX, N64 (After Gamecube Came Out), Two PS2s, Xbox, Gamecube, Xbox 360, PS3 and Finally the Wii. when I was young, we weren't too well off financially so most systems we had in our house were limited to 4 or 5 games which we would receive on Christmas as a family gift, so I missed out on a ton of classics. And recently I got into the PC gaming Circle with Half Life 2 in June of '07.

In recent years with my having a job, I have been able to buy consoles and games with great regularity and because of this my gaming horizons have expanded greatly. And because of this I spent a large amount of time playing games when I'm not at work, school (CSUSB-Senior) or with the band, I'm playing games.

So yeah... that's all you need to know for now. And if you really want to know more, don't be afraid to message me.. I need some more friends to game with.

I have a bad habit of buying old PS2 RPGs and not playing them for a while and it's starting to pick up again.

Last night I purchased Persona 3 (At retail!), Xenosaga, Rule of Rose, Steambot Chronicles and I stopped myself from buying Rouge Galaxy and almost bought Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga Deluxe box set for $100 or so..

Gah.. It wouldn't be sad bad if I had time to play them, but I still haven't even played Mass Effect and I have a ton of other good games I haven't played as of yet.

Oh well.. there goes my money.

I set myself this rule a little while ago.

For the love of god, if you are buying RPGs then do it one at a time for crying out loud. I bought Final Fantasy XII a little over a week ago, I'm not buying again until its finished. My motivation is just finishing a Final Fantasy game and then having a clear slate to buy Persona 3.

Focus on one, then move on to the others one at a time. It'll make it easier, also try and have another game you can play in chunks on the side for when you get bored.

Missed out on picking up Persona 3 while they were plentiful, can't believe you found a copy at retail. Hell, even the online stores I've seen are sold out.

You could go resell it for $80 on eBay, apparently!

Rouge Galaxy is awesome. don't sleep on it.

I myself have the same problem. I always hunt alot of PS1 games I missed due to no money, couldn't find, or parents wouldn't buy. So now that I actually have a job, I feel I need to play catch up whenever I get a wad of money I wish to spend. It usually leads me down to memory lane.

I still have to finish Breath of Fire III and IV, start up wild Arms 2, pick up Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon.

The best game you bought is Steambot Chronicles. I'm not joking. I'd love it even more if I would stop forgetting to save and then losing 2-3 hours of progress after I die.

Also you will probably hate the game, but I still love it.

This happens to me too. There are nearly 100 (no exaggeration) RPGs I own that i've gotten, played for about an hour, thought it was cool then moved on to something else promising to come back. Another problem, already mentioned, is that I die and lose forty five minutes of my game (just happened in Xenosaga II as well). Nocturne is notorious for this.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not alone on buying games I don't play for a long time.

I actually found two copies of Persona 3 retail at this place. I almost bought both, but I decided I would leave the other one there as a hidden treasure for someone else to find.

How is Rules of Rose? I see it at gametop quite often and the whole premise of the game interests me.

Anyone? Is it any good?

The story is excellent but the gameplay is possibly the worst I've experienced if there was a to compare the shit that it is I would. It makes it really hard to even want to play out it. If you can find it for cheap its a good pick up, thats what I did.
