I got very little done gaming wise all week. I collected my Miis by stopping at McDonalds. Most of the time it worked but today I got nothing from going there. I discovered the chicken snack wrap as a good alternative to those dollar cheeseburgers I usually get (I always have to buy something even though I’m only there for the Spot Pass). I finished Find Mii II and started over again. I noticed there is a Secret Quest you can choose from the menu the second time around, so I did that. I think it just added another path on the map screen. I’m almost finished the Fire Emblem Awakening 3D picture in Puzzle Swap. I’m going to do the Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon one next.

I was going to play more old school stuff today, but I had several errands that messed with my schedule and, when I got to my friend's place, we got talking about Diablo 3 and next thing I knew, I was playing it and couldn't stop. 

It started out simple enough. I went to McDonalds to get a little lunch (I had slept in a bit longer than normal) and hit up the Nintendo Zone for Miis (I got six, I found out later). I think I'd better be careful about this Mickey Dee thing. It's really not very healthy. Next time I'll order something like coffee or a hot chocolate. I'd eat nothing but I feel too weird walking in there just to get the Spot Pass. Then I headed over to Gamestop to preorder Etrian Mystery Dungeon, out on April 7th (I went to the one where I get the feminine smiles and not the one where I get the upselling).

First off, I had an X-ray for my knee which I smashed on a icy sidewalk a month back. It wasn't broke, which is what I kind of expected. I should listen to my intuition and save some cash.

SUNDAY:

Starting something a little bit new here. On Sundays I'm going to write up what I did all week, my work week being Tuesday to Saturday, and then on Monday nights do my weekend, Sunday/Monday.

Talking about Dragon Magazine 83, March 1984, a month and year when lots of interesting music came out. The one that made the biggest impact on me was the soundtrack to the film Against All Odds, a movie out that same month. It featured the titular song by Phil Collins and two other exclusive songs by former and current Genesis members: Walk Through the Fire by Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford’s Making a Big Mistake. Against All Odds was a decent Phil Collins track, but the other two made it onto my cassette mixes.

First up today was Super Mario RPG (Wii virtual console). I played this up unitl the first major boss, Mack, and beat him. I really love this game. I almost played it all day, but I decided I'd play up until a boss every weekend for a while. I guess it's so I can fit in some 360 gaming with Mark. I kind of like the idea of playing a game just up to a major boss and then doing something else. It breaks up the game into nice chunks that give you some time to think about it afterwards.

Stuff I did this Sunday:

I looked at my 3DS tonight (it's actually early Saturday morning) and saw the addition of 2 more Miis to make 4 total so far this week. I'm a little disappointed because I went to Barnes & Noble, a Nintendo Hot Spot, and only got one Mii from there. I didn't go there just for Miis though, I went there to buy Retro Gaming Magazine.
