The summer of our discontent
It's summer, that ridiculously long season of heat stroke, insect infestations and crap movie sequels. What better way to spend Satan's season than indoors?
The past two months have been devoted to the pursuit of Pokémon. My Dex is filling up nicely and Thundercat is about to start her Pokémon journey in the weeks to follow. If any of you out there are into Diamond and Pearl, wish to trade Pokémon, and aren't total buttholes, let me know. I'll post my friend code in the near future.
When not catching 'em all, I've been catching up on the long and great history of Spider-Man by perusing back issues bound in wonderful collections called the Essentials. They're some of the most poorly-bound books you'll ever read -- they literally fall apart in your hands -- but it's worth it for the cheap price and the abundance of Spidey-related goodness.
But on to more important matters. Summer gaming, as most people know, tends to be the pits, with few interesting releases between now and the start of the Fall Glut. I've been hanging on to Final Fantasy XII with the express purpose of using it to save myself from summer boredom, but summer is also the time to either clear out your backlog of unfinished games or go back and revisit your old favorites. Astonishingly, I have only a handful of unfinished games and no real intention to go through any of them right now, mood swings permitting, so this summer will be devoted to playing the games I love.
Here's what I'm planning to play through as of the time of this post:
Super Mario Sunshine (a summer tradition!)
Final Fantasy III (the DS game, not the Super NES game)
Phoenix Wright (actually in the backlog)
Banjo-Tooie
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Metroid Prime 2
Bearing in mind that we're talking about a three-month period here, and that there will still be a new game or two every now and then, what else should I revisit? I'm open to any and all suggestions, unless your suggestions happen to be stupid, at which point I will probably have to call you out on that.
