I caught the sickness that happens whenever I'm exposed to elements of the Etrian Odyssey games. I played one dungeon of Etrian Mystery Dungeon, noticed the dramatic similarity to the Etrian Odyssey Untold remake, and had to run out the next day and track down the other Etrian Odyssey influenced game, Persona Q.

This game was harder to find in the wild then I thought. I went to Toys R US - nada; Best Buy - only had the Premium Edition and wanted $80 for it. No chance; and K-Mart - they actually got rid of their video game section! Then I had to resort to my local GameStop. They didn't have it but another store did, but that store only had the cart. Nope. I wanted the case and everything. They found me a store that had it complete. I made the trip and picked it up for about $40. A little more than I wanted to pay, but I had to have it. 

While I was out there, I asked about Bayonetta for Xbox 360. This was another tricky game to find in the wild. I had to go to yet another store, but I got it in the box for $12. Now I can see all those crazy boss fights and probably laugh over the humorously named achievements. Ah those gun-shoes.

I should mention too that all that time I was driving around, I was getting spot pass Miis at McDonalds and Best Buy. I ended the night with 9. I was a little disappointed I didn't have 10 but them's the breaks.

Forget their game section, I keep forgetting K-Mart still exists.

It barely does and now their game section doesn't. I live walking distance from one, so sometimes it's convenient. I bought my 3DS there.

I used to see Bayonetta all the time but since getting Bayonetta 2 (and the original) on my Wii U, I haven't been paying attention to that old 360 version Tongue Out

I'm getting B2 sometime this year. I'll need a Wii-U and a better TV. In the meantime, I'll play some B1 on my 360.

Those gun shoes are the freakin best.

It must be tricky to handle the recoil.

I'm 90 hrs into Persona Q.  I'm getting a bit sick of it.  I probably have a quarter of the game left, but I keep getting suck in places and that slows me down a lot.

At lot of these RPGs get really slow in the late stages. That's why I hardly ever finish any of them.

I played a good bit yesterday.  Now, I'm over 100 hrs in and I'm still on the same dungeon.  I'm seriously thinking about quitting.

That's about the time I quit Dragon Quest VIII. Every battle became a major beast of an effort. It just tired me out.

I tapped out of DQ8 too.  I would like to go back and try again.

So would I. That game was fantastic!
