Yeah, I can't imagine what I'd do if I had a PSP and 360. Hell, I probably won't make it through 2007 without buying a 360... Blue Dragon is calling me...

Mupepe · « **Reply #7 on:** August 22, 2007, 05:07:34 PM »

fuck man, i just got my 360 back and i've got to get all my old games, all the games i've missed since i jumped out, and all the holiday games I want. fuck, i'm fucked.

then I gotta catch up on my PS2 and PSP titles. FFT = omg omg omg

then I'm sure I'll be picking up a PS3 before Christmas. Oh balls.

Aside from getting the three games preordered for my birthday this year, the last time I got something gaming related was the 32X for Christmas...

Nevermind, my grandparents got me Dirge of Cerberus last birthday... what were they thinking?!?

I'm their favorite... so, no...

They bought me Final Fantasy Legend II for the Gameboy when I was little, they probably recognized Final Fantasy on the cover and thought I'd like it. It was a nice thought, in any event, even if it was DoC.

i can't guarantee that i can get the hookup on multiple games since she's just an acquaintance, but i can sure as hell try. PM me with what you're interested in.
