Are we done talking in the third person now? Thank goodness. BONER. FUCK. ASS. COCK. OTHER SWEARS.

Anyway, I'm (R)Andy. My favorite game is Half-Life 2, my favorite beverage is Mountain Dew, and I sometimes wear a pink robe:



I also have two really fucking awesome kids:


Alice


Henry

And a sexy hot wife:


Mrs Andy Dixon

Here are some more pink robe pics (because I am a narcissist):


attempting to cosplay as The Dude, circa 2009 (AKA "the original")


with Kraid, circa PAX Prime 2011

And here are some things that fellow Dtoiders have drawn for me:

Having steadily grown over the course of this generation (and the last... and maybe even the one before that), my list of unplayed and unfinished games has finally reached a number that I am no longer comfortable with. But no more! It is with hard self-determintation and firm self-restraint that I have decided to force myself to avoid all new releases until I've finally tackled every one of the games I've already paid for.

You see, none of the games on my list are bad -- hell, some of them look great! -- but for one reason or another, every game on the list was pushed aside by a flashier, sexier or just plain newer release, and it's a damn shame to see them sitting there, unloved, collecting dust.

"But mrandydixon," you inquire sheepishly, like a tiny, talking boner. "What games are you talking about?"

I'm glad you asked! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... my backlog:


Well, most of it, anyway.

Like I said: those are some good-looking games!

But wait, there's more!

In addition to simply playing through these games (and in an effort to encourage myself to keep with it), I thought it might be fun to have my fellow Dtoiders vote on what game I should play next... after which I will play said game and then report on how it went!

FUN!

So help a brother out! Which of these games should I tackle next?

Alan Wake
Assassin's Creed II (thanks, SteezyXL!)
Brutal Legend
Champions of Norrath (thanks, garethxxgod!)
Condemned (1 and 2)
The Darkness
Deadly Premonition
Demon's Souls
Fallout: New Vegas
Jet Set Radio Future (thanks, Xzyliac!)
Metal Gear Solid (1-3) (thanks, Xzyliac!)
Red Dead Revolver (thanks, garethxxgod!)
Resident Evil 4
Singularity
Tomb Raider: Underworld

Thanks so much for the help!

Condemned.
The Darkness, without a doubt my good friend.
Deadly Premonition. Anyone who says that you should complete anything else means you ill will and grievous bodily injury.
Gah, sorry about two posts. I was also going to say that I was going to vote for MGS3 but you should probably wait for the HD releases to play them.
Deadly Premonition

Because, well, you'll see.
Oh that's easy!

Champions of Norrath.

DO IT... OR I SWEAR TO GOD...

'Anyone who says that you should complete anything else means you ill will and grievous bodily injury.'

'Cept Handy. Handy knows wassup.
Resident.
Evil.
Four.
Wii.
Edition.
Deadly Premonition

Because:

I want to say Deadly Premonition, I really do, but you have Resident Evil 4 Wii on there. I can't have you play any survival horror game without completing Resident Evil 4.
I think you know what my vote is, already! Also, there is no possible way I should be looking at this blog at work! Your sidebar just keeps getting crazier.

Actually JSRF is also amazing...
SINGULARITY iz the only realz game u got HAPPYBONER

/jimmy'd
Singularity.

It's a surprisingly fun, underappreciated game.
I want that Ass Ass In Creed box art and I want it now. Seriously.
Jet Set Radio Future.

Fuck all of those games until you play and beat that.

AND SHAME ON YOU OTHER DTOIDERS FOR NOT VOTING THAT. YOU ALL SHOULD BE NEUTERED.
What?! I'm presuming that you must have all neglected to notice that Andy hasn't played and completed Metal Gear Solid yet, because that needs to happen as soon as possible.

Andy?... Andy?! ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Epic: Wait, what?! Shame on me? Did you not see Champions of Norrath on that list?
The Darkness!! Love that game, I also agree on Singularity and Champions of Norrath.
Jet Set Radio Future
@Snake in the Grass

Yes. Shame. On. You.
Yeah, I most certainly agree with CaptainBus. Metal Gear Solid needs to be completed by... about 10 years ago.
I'll say Jet Set, but also support The Darkness or Condemned.
@Bus, bbain

Believe it or not, I first acquired a PlayStation 2 about a year ago when Xzyliac gifted one to me; before that, I had never even played one. (The majority of my life was spent gaming on the PC.)

VOTE COUNT SO FAR...

2 for The Darkness
3 for Deadly Premonition
1 for Demon's Souls

@Epic: See, that's it. Dueling time. Pistols at noon.

Skip TR:Underworld - the rest is amazing.


Out of all those, I go gaga for Demon's Souls, RE4, and JSRF.

Play Demon's Souls last - you want to concentrate on that shit. Plus, by the time you're done, you can pick up Dark Souls at a discount and keep on rocking.

FUCKING PLAY JET SET RADIO FUTURE RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU MORON! <3
@Master Snake
Just saw that shit about JSRF and Norrath.

God damn man, my wife and I have beaten Norrath AND Return to Arms like 3 times together each, but, but.....

JET SET RADIO FUTURE!

Metal Gear.
Resident Evil 4 Wii, though only because i haven't played Deadly Premonition
Brutal Legend
*in gruff voice*

Metal Gear.........,Solid.


You should also write a review or thoughts on whatever game you choose.
Demon's Souls - probably because I couldn't remember how much longer they're going to keep the servers up.
demons souls, because seeing people suffering is awesome..
Demon's Souls, because I like the idea of it derailing this whole plan. And because the servers die soon to make room for Dark Souls.
Demon Souls
Brutal Legend! I think its underrated, give it a shot.
Deadly Premonition is the best game on this list so play that.
Oh yeah, Deadly Premonition for sure.
Singularity, man.
The Darkness was my first and most cherish Xbox game. Please, do yourself a favor and play the game.

- Boners
Brutal Legend.
Holy shit. Which ever you choose, you're going to enjoy gaming for awhile.

In fact, I...can't...pick...
DEADLY PREMONITION
My gut says so. It screams it. do the side missions
Who said that?

I almost said Ass Ass Creed II; because at a certain point, it put it's motherfucking claws straight into my back. But I have spoken. And it was good.
