 I feel like I lost an hour today. Which makes sense because of Daylight Savings but it generally doesn't affect me. Today I forgot about the time change until some time after 10:00AM, which made the day go from mid-morning to almost lunch time. I wish I had gotten up when I first woke up at 7:30AM instead of going back to bed until 9:00AM. Life goes on.

Today I played a few videos games. I jumped into a few games of Halo 4 and I've still got it. At least enough of it that I didn't completely suck. My best game involved several kills with a sniper rifle and a giant laser. Not bad. I also played a bunch of 10,000,000. The point of the game is to get a score of 10,000,000 and I have gotten within 600,000 at least a couple times. There isn't a lot of skill involved in the game but it is pretty addictive. I briefly looked at the Sim City 4 tutorial but I was too distracted by watching DVRed stuff so I had to stop. I really want to play that game but twice now I have started the tutorial and not made it through. I need to take the time to actually make it through so I can start making my city. I also have the old school Sim City 2000, which is what I used to play when I was a kid, but I haven't gotten around to playing that either. Then I played a little bit of Super Amazing Wagon Adventure which I got awhile ago in an indie bundle. It is like Oregon Trail on meth. I made it to the Great Plains twice, got attacked by a bunch of unicorns, and killed by a dragon. Definitely a strange game. Lastly, I played several levels of Stealth Bastard, another game from an indie bundle. I made it through the levels that were pretty straight forward and didn't require much thought but didn't want to actually put thought into the first somewhat thought provoking level, so I called it a night.

I need to just go through my games folder alphabetically and play one game a day. I have so many freaking games I have never played. Way more than I have played actually. Yet I keep buying them. I am getting better about not buying bundles but there is still the occasional impulse purchase. Progress. Sort of.
