General Update -- I've Been Busy, Really. (Again)

From a lack of updates one could assume I've been slacking off. That isn't really the case. I just haven't started anything substantial, as I probably should have done. I've actually been spread a little thin. I was playing Ghostbusters online which surprisingly turned out to be great fun. Only problem is that the achievements are severely glitched. A couple of them won't unlock for me when they should have, and another is entirely broken and not even possible because the final ghost that triggers it isn't showing up from being glitched as well. So until Terminal Reality and Atari address the situation with a patch, Ghostbusters online is on hold. Which is doubly bad for Magus as he just wants to play it for the fun of it. We're still slowly working through Sacred 2 for achievements. I'm chasing the one that you get for accessing the hardest difficulty level. That only amounts to having played through the campaign three full times. And we still have our online co-op run to go through. And within that I'm hoping to get the complete a campaign without dying achievement. And then that will leave the final achievement for me of completing the campaign with less than twenty percent of the map exposed. I'm also slowly, but surely, working my way through Phantasy Star II via Xbox Live Arcade. A few minutes here, a few minutes there. It's going to take a while, but I will get those achievements. I've also been further slowed by becoming involved in the 1 Vs. 100 beta, the trivia based game show on Xbox Live. This is another pleasant surprise. It's great fun and is going to really be something. I've also been messing around with Neves Plus for Wii Ware. It's a tangram based puzzle game. You know, figuring out how to fit the seven geometric shapes together just so as to form an image. And of course the eternal Phantasy Star Universe has been updated with a higher level cap and new content. New missions and new items to track down. So you can maybe see why I haven't started anything more substantial, and maybe why I'm not going to be starting anything any time soon. This upcoming week will see the long awaited Battlefield 1943 hit and that will further slow things down as it's sure to eat up more than a few hours. And that'll lead into Marvel Vs Capcom and beyond and then as with the last few years, the holiday season begins in late August and there is just no going back. So when am I going to knock out that ever growing backlog? I still hope to, but something has to give doesn't it?
