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.
