I make few aplogies for my gaming habits. They are not done to the detriment of my children or family. I do not forsake the outside world, friends or other relationships. It is my most important form of entertainment and my most cherished hobby. I want to experience the most out of said hobby. I want to milk quality games of all the enjoyment (and, yes, achievements) that I can. To than end, I started thinking about what I would like to experience with games in the coming months. In a perfect world where time and money were of no object, what would I want to play? I thought about the games I currently own but have not yet completed to my personal satisfaction. I listed the new games I am destined to purchase. I also considered what titles might interest me in the not-to-distant future. And it is INSANE.  I cannot "accomplish," experience, or afford all of these things especially since I will be teaching part-time for the next 2 months on top of my normal weekend job. Still, here is my pie-in-the-sky wishlist for the first four months of 2010.
