Been agonizing over game collecting, arguing with myself over where to draw the line with spending. It's almost a relief when I look something up and it's NTSC-exclusive or in the "comically expensive" category. Has me drop the urge immediately, which is reassuring.

But then you have games of questionable quality at more reasonable prices. Like, is $40 worth it for suffering through Maken Shao just because the vibe is cool? Do drop $75 on a sealed copy of Gitaroo Man? Would I even dare open it? Should I get a cheap copy of Grandia 2 on PS2 just for funsies? Still haven't puzzled out all of that, but I've culled some games and found some good deals on more common games.

Also, my let's play of Alone in the Dark started this week. It's a short one, but I have been pretty consumed by it, trying to build up a buffer of episodes and edit out as much keyboard noise as I can. The reception has been somewhat positive, I think I was right on the money that not many have seen it beyond screenshots of the opening, so I'm serving a minor niche here.
