Too many games!!

Oh man. So many great games out, and I'm am falling way behind. For anyone interested, here's my increasingly large pile of games that I'm trying to get through: Pokemon Pearl - I just picked this one up again, after getting Darkrai from a recent Toys R Us promotion, and have been having a blast once again.

Playing catch-up

Wow, a lot of time has passed! I'm still here, really! Since I'll just keep putting off putting up a nice sized blog if I think about it too much, I decided it would be best to simply list some of the things I've been doing/playing/enjoying, and perhaps elaborate on them in a future post. Super Mario Galaxy - Okay, I won't really be talking about this one much I don't think, because really, I…
