Last week I picked up Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin on recommendation of Tony. 1215 hours into the game and I must admit that it is one of the best games I've played this year.

Hell, in the typing of that previous pathetic paragraph I've already stopped to play more of that damn game twice.

Alright, make that previous paragraph "... stopped writing completely in order to play that game for another couple hours, sleep, then play some more." Yes, I know I'm an addict.

I don't know what it is about these sort of games that brings the OCD out in me. For those that know me, they know exactly how lax I can be about completion. Hell, my room is a junkyard mainly because I keep putting off due to lack of motivation. Yet as soon as I see an enemy still has more items to drop, I go nuts and start dumping hours into killing the exact same enemy hundreds upon thousands of times just to get it to drop some crappy potion.

Thankfully, I don't play any MMORPGs. Or Fantasy Football. Or anything else that would suck up huge amounts of time. I mean, seriously. I don't think I've had that sort of problem with any other game out there. I mean, I didn't go around killing the same mob for hours upon hours in Final Fantasy just to get them to drop every item they could possibly drop. Hell, I didn't even do that in Ragnarok Online while I was playing.

Ok, I'm lying. I killed Elder Willows exclusively for 10 levels because I was an Ice Mage and Dead Brances were awesomes. That and I was in college. Now that I'm a working man, I really shouldn't be wasting this much time on useless crap like this.

Anyway, I should wrap this up. I still need to kill that Ghoul King until he drops his easy drop. Anyone want to trade their DS friend codes to buy my stuff? I've got a couple extras of most of my items...
