One week of classes left. Around this time of year, I like to do a little shopping. Just a little, for used games. Stuff that’s going out of style. Something to get me through the long, dark holiday vacation. Last year, I was ending an MMORPG addiction to Ragnarok that had lasted three years or so, and I hadn’t really enjoyed any other games at all during that time. I acquired a DS shortly after ending my relationship with RO. Played Mario 64 and Mr. Driller until my fingers fell off, and was happy. Now though, it’s probably the last time I’ll have so much free time, what with my job and graduating in summer of aught-6.

So far, I’ve picked up Out Run 2 and La Pucelle, and I’m seriously going to get Paper Mario in the next couple of days. The onslaught of DS games has stopped a little, with Animal Crossing being the last I’ll get for a bit. I’d also like to play more Phantom Brave and Mario Sunshine because they’re very sunny games. I’ll need to finish Alundra sometime soon too, since it has the most dreary atmosphere. I also have a copy of Kingdom Hearts that I’ve been borrowing for the past 8 months, hoping that it would catch on. It hasn’t yet, but I’ll give it another try.

Anyone else find themselves stocking up for the winter or playing only certain kinds of games during this time of year?
