Closing in

Day 414

Tonight I restarted Torchlight II with my usual co-op partner. This is something I've been meaning to do for a long time and I'm glad I finally talked him into it. After just one play session, we managed to get to Act 2 in Veteran difficulty. I don't imagine it'll take very long to beat the game at all. Finally, I'll be rid of it from my backlog. That kind of game doesn't deserve to be filed away for a such a long period of time--but what can I say? I made a mistake initially by committing to playing the game on Elite difficulty. I got a point of the game I could not pass through without help and by then everyone had stopped playing.

This also brings the number of games I'm currently playing up to four. Once I finish all of them, I will finally reach my 30 game goal. This might be happening before this month is even over, to be honest. I'm going to make an attempt to finish Persona 4 Arena tonight--but I'm really only 50% of the way through the story mode. It's possible a lot of that percentage comes from optional content because I've played through every character's storyline except for Labrys--and possibly Elizabeth, if she indeed has a storyline to play through. Still, I can't have too much more to go.

Once that's done, I'll pick back up on Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call and try to figure out what it is I have to do to actually consider the game beaten. If the game doesn't give me an out, then I'll just have to play every song in the game, of which there are over 200. Last I checked, I'd played about 60 of them, so I definitely have some work to do there. 

As for Lufia 2, I'd have to estimate I'm a little under halfway through the game. My progress is currently very slow, but once those other games are done, it'll be very soon to follow. It's a really good game, but I decided some weeks ago to relegate it to my lunch break game. Once that's done, I'll have something ready to take its place even if I have accomplished my 30 game goal. It'll probably be Dragon Quest III, since that's the only SNES game left on my backlog. I left off of it for reasons that are unknown to me since I was enjoying it. I wrote about it a little when I first started playing it many months ago. I had just finished Dragon Quest I and II of course, so maybe I was just on the verge of getting burned out.

I'm considering staying up really late to watch the continuation of the League of Legends World Championship. Perhaps I could try to finish Arena simultaneously?
