About Me


Yo. I just graduated from Syracuse University, with a major in Television/Film at the Newhouse School.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.

Dtoid's 2008 Completed Games List: April Update
Bob Muir | 6:38 AM on 05.05.2008 24 comments




April is old news. Seriously, who gives a shit about it? May is where it's at, my friend. Well, except for you kids still in high school. And you adults who don't get out of your jobs. Actually, I guess May is only important to college kiddies like myself, done with finals and ready to party.

Anyway, you guys played a bunch of games, and I'm impressed. I even contributed a few few. Still, we need to pick up the slack in May - in terms of what's listed, we played 4 less games than we did in March, which was already 5 less than our high score in February. Come on guys, go add more games to the full list so we can out-do February!

To put a little context to the way the list works:

1. Completion does not mean that you have to do X, Y, and Z for it to be completed. Completion is whatever you consider finished, whether that is just beating the game, getting every achievement, or unlocking every single item.
2. Games released via digital distribution count too! You can list XBLA and PSN games separately, but realize that I will be putting them under Xbox 360 and PS3 listings in the main list. Wii VC games will be listed under their console of origin, since they play exactly the same with no changes.
3. If you beat a game that you've beat in the past, it still counts! The list is for games completed in 2008, regardless of previous completion.
4. Some "games" are actually compilations, such as Sonic Mega Collection and The Orange Box. Since there are multiple games, please list each of them separately.
5. If the game is multiplayer only, it's hard to actually complete it. If you want something like Team Fortress 2 to count, make sure it's some goal like "got all achievements" or "raised skill rank to 50" and note it in your list.
6. Remember, this isn't a competition. This is just for fun. We're not here to compare our e-peens.

Goddammit, I always forget about this, especially since I hadn’t beaten anything in 2008 until this month (I finished my Medium drum career in Rock Band). Oh, well...hopefully I’ll have something for May...

@ blehman

Since the list can't distinguish between when people completed a game in most cases, people posting during a given month could be completing them that month or jumping into the list new, listing every game so far this year. In that sense, the monthly lists are always going to be somewhat inaccurate.

Dammit! I forgot I actually had something to add to the list, for once. To the forums with me!

Also, is the list in this post just the updated listings? I mean, this isn't a complete list, correct? Just what's changed since the last post, yes? I just wondered, because I noticed I wasn't on there, which I should be if this was the complete list.

I would be pretty depressed with myself if I had finished all of those this month. But I really wish I could do nothing but play videogames.

Nothing boring I mean.
