Only losers blog on their birthdays... Oh, wait.
Zen Albatross \| 4:39 PM on 11.20.2008	25 comments

So, I'm sweet 23 today, and the government got me a present: An Unemployment Benefits Denial Notification! All right! Fuck you, Department of Labor! So instead of bitching about the ongoing struggle to get hired and pay rent, I figured this would be a great time to talk about my #1 Video Game priority for the next year of my existence.

I'm going to do something that I've been denying for far too long. Something that has haunted my dreams since age 11. I am going to...

BEAT EARTHBOUND

Any of you that know me know that I fucking LOVE Earthbound. In fact, I love it so much that I've never finished it. Let me explain: Earthbound is one of those games that is so incredibly good, so loveable, SO charming, that I physically cannot bring myself to finish it because I don't want the game to end. Even with the triumphant release of the Mother 3 Fan Translation, I have talked myself out of beating this game for far too long. Well, Earthbound... I still love you. But this year, I'm going to finish what I've started and in turn, triumph over my greatest gaming faux-pas. Giygas is going down.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
