Now Playing: Waterfalls - TLC

The thing about video games is that I can never beat them. Well, almost never. Out of all the games I own (27, not counting PC titles), I've only beaten eight, and that is counting PC titles. Of the games that I've not beaten, I'm at the final boss/dungeon/level for four of them, and have been there for several months now. (I've been at the last boss on Metroid Prime since December.)

It's not that the final bosses are hard or anything, it's just that I have a short attention span. I owned .hack//INFECTION for four months before I sat down and played it. When I finally did, it was in a marathon session, where I played nothing but INFECTION. I beat it in four days, went out and bought MUTATION that same day, and have yet to touch MUTATION.

I remember when I got Final Fantasy IX and Tales of Destiny at the same time. I made it to the final disc of FFIX, and then spent two weeks playing Tales of Destiny (beating it) before I went back to FFIX.

Let's see, I think the only games I've ever beaten soon after buying them were: Parasite Eve 1&2, Metal Gear Solid (any of them), Legend of the Dragoon, and Fear Effect 2. That's it.

So, what does this say about me? That I should rent more games than I should buy? Well, yeah.

That I shouldn't buy another game until I've finished the ones I have? I tried that before. A week later I bought Neverwinter Nights.

That I have a short attention span?

Oh, look! Shiny things! *poings off*
