Project Backlog: The Return of the Backlog

Backlogs. They come in all forms: books, TV, movies, video games, crafting projects. And we all have them. Today I have decided to revisit an old, old post of mine. All the way back in 2013 I had listed off the video games in my collection that I hadn’t gotten around to finishing. It’s 6 …

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam

When it comes to Super Mario Bros spinoffs, I’ve always been a Paper Mario girl. I’ll take that franchise over Sunshine, Mario & Luigi, and New Super Mario Bros any day of the week. It was due to my love of Paper Mario that I decided I needed Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam in my life, …

Persona Q

I took far too long to finish Persona Q. Not because I didn’t enjoy the P3/P4 crossover game, because I really did, even when I was stuck on a dungeon floor for three days figuring out the FOE pattern. There’s just something about Persona and JRPG games that makes me want to sink a ridiculous …

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Status: Saved the world in 52 Hours 45 mins at Level 65 I picked up Golden Sun: Dark Dawn one night when I saw it on the shelf at Best Buy for $5. It doesn’t bother me to play a game in the middle of a series I’ve never touched before if I spot it on sale. And …

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2

Status: Main Trauma Center 2 game completed, varying difficulties When I spot games that are under $10 I instinctively want to add them to my game library (much to the chagrin of my husband). Hence why I’m rarely allowed to peruse the game section at Fry’s when we stop in there. For the most part I’ve scored …

Gardening Mama
