I've only beaten GTAIV in the past month. Years ago, I can blaze through about four games in a month, but now, it's either one or none at all. I should really stop buying games, but goddamn, it's really tempting. Of course, I only bought GTAIV........for both systems. I buy games, but I don't have the time to finish them. You should look at my unfinished PSP stack and my *cough* PS2 stack. It's quite enormous.
Just read my recent purchases.
Wii Fit ($90). I laughed a bit when it told me I was obese. I used it for about 10 minutes and I shit you not, I started to sweat and ache. The aching occured during the push up and side arm segment. Oh my goodness. When I started to do the first rep, I shouted, "Holy shit!". It was fucking painful. Wii Fit tells me one thing: I need to start getting into shape.
A bunch of downloadable content. Rockband songs (I have no idea how much I've spent), that Penny Arcade game ($20), and echochrome for PS3 & PSP ($20).
This hobby of mine is starting to add up. And here is me thinking of buying my own PS3 because I'm rarely on it ever since my dad realized that he could watch TV downstairs. Think about it. My own PS3. That's pure sex thinking there. I'm thinking of buying one at the end of May to prepare for the awesomeness that is MGS4. But Amazon.com keeps on teasing me with this $380 40GB PS3. It's very, VERY tempting to buy at this point. At the same time, I want to pay off my credit card since it already added the Wii Fit purchase. So for now, paying off my credit is my top priority.
I should save money for the future, but this might be the only time I get to spend any money. Shit, that makes no sense. I have enough gaming content to last me months, yet I still have to buy the recent releases. It literally makes no sense. Why can't I get a game months down the road? Why am I wasting my time with this hobby? Eh, I really don't know.

As for movies, yeah, I've been watching a bit here and there. Latest theatre movie was Speed Racer. I have no idea why so many critics hated that movie. It was a harmless film that is very enjoyable from beginning to end. Sure, it has it's dragging moments (especially when they reminisce about a race or why the exist, shit like that), but the movie always keeps pushing forward. The art style wasn't distracting at all. Maybe if you are one of those people who can't read fucking subtitles during foreign films, then yeah, you'll have a hard time following what is going on. If you like the cartoon, then you'll enjoy the hell out of this movie.
Iron Man was awesome. What more can you ask for. I even mentally jizzed at the end.
Funny Games sucks. Who gives a shit if the movie is trying to say something about reality and fiction. It's garbage.
I can't wait for the new Indiana Jones film. I've enjoyed each one so far. I hope this one doesn't disappoint.
