Backlog

It's getting to the point where I don't need to wear my coat all day now. But the fact that the weather changes so fast can still trick me. This morning it was cold and misty. Then the sun came out and it got warmer. But then the clouds crept up again so I still couldn't get a good look at the night sky. Anyway, I've been thinking about my game backlog. There's quite a few games I still need to get through, including some where I'd previously only watched Let's Plays but still wanted for myself (they're very story-driven).  The problem is most of these games are long, and I'm busy all day and when I get home, I don't want my Dad interrupting me, but I can't stay upstairs all evening because I still need to feed myself. So what to do for this month? At the moment I'm thinking of trying the RPG that should be shorter, but I still think it could take a while to finish unless I get REALLY hooked.

Those Crossroads

Seriously, the commute to get home is just so frustrating. There was a new game demo today that came out an hour earlier than I expected, while I was still stuck on the first of two buses, and I needed to stop at the shop on the way home as well. Now, there's 2 buses I can get home. One of them goes over 2 sets of train tracks which means if there are any trains, it slows you down. The other one stops near some crossroads that take ages to get across because the traffic lights and stuff take ages to change, and it's only if the road isn't too busy that I can just cut scross before I reach them. So usually I go for the first option, but for the last several times I've gone that way now, there's been a long queue of traffic, caused by something going on at the train tracks around a corner or two. Seriously, the traffic goes quite far back. And since I was in more of a hurry to get home... I'm starting to think those crossroads might actually be preferable.
