Blog Reboot?

 It's been a long several months. I was debating myself on whether to stop keeping this blog altogether given how infrequently I post on it. But maybe I just need a format change.

I don't have time to record all my thoughts on every game I play. So I think I need to abbreviate my format here in general. I would find it easier to post more often if I posted less, anyway.

Some games I've played since last September: every game on the Castlevania collection (except Kid Dracula; I'll play it some day probably, but I see it as more of a side game and less an actual Castlvania game). Also the Castlevania games Rondo of Blood (now my favorite "Classicvania"), Symphony of the Night (at long last), Legends, and Circle of the Moon.

I did challenge runs on Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion, and replayed Super Metroid.

I played through indie games Fairune and Fairune 2. I also replayed Braid on my XBox 360.

I'm nearing the end of Pokemon Picross.

I'm also finally playing Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, I'm near the end of Dragon Quest V, and I've started the game Cave Story.

It's probably not an exhaustive list, but I'll start from there.

Best game on all this list that I hadn't played before is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which was every bit as good as I always heard it was, and better in some ways.

Although most of my gaming (and my blog name) is somewhat old school, I've been feeling a lot lately like I want to try some newer games. Both new-to-me games and newer games in general, so I can follow conversations with my friends a bit better. But I haven't decided yet what games those will be. More on that to come, I suppose.
