Pile of Shame

I can never really let my video games go. They just sit there, by the console collecting the dust I choose to ignore. Yes, that chosen collection of undefeated games is my Pile of Shame and the pile grows. Every time I go out shopping with She, we split after a time but She always knows where to find me. The video games store, eyeballing my next love of the month. Over Christmas 09 I was gifted with BIO SHOCK, ASSASSIN'S CREED 2, followed shortly into the new year DARKSIDERS. Of course I had to crack the seal, look at the manual, install and drool. It's the artwork and little story that introduces the game that I love. Like a mini 2 minute movie.

I can proudly say I almost beat ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 with only the contracts, races, feather's and remaining treasure chests left. What I really loved about the game was the Villa. At first I thought it was stupid to spend my Florian's on art, and to fix up the crap stores that dotted my family's land. The few bums that were there did nothing but walk around all time. They contributed nothing, they didn't even farm. However, I quickly learned that collecting chests and investing into crap stores and art generated a revenue for my young assassin, Ezio. How novel. I had more Florian's then I knew what to do with and I was never left wanting. So I took ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 off my Pile of Shame and put it triumphantly upon my Pile of Win! (which is the same pile of video games as the Pile of Shame, but I know the difference).

However, the Pile of Shame continues to grow. I hear good things about Dragon Age: Origins. My victory will not last long, the Pile of Shame never forgives or forgets.
