Plenty of games, not enough time

So the Steam Summer Sales finally did roll around and I ended up buying 31 games.  I've only played about 12 of the games I've bought so far as I'm trying to burn through some of my older games first.  Then after the Steam Summer Sales, Amazon had an incredible deal I couldn't refuse: Final Fantasy XIII-2 for $15.  With free shipping offered to a purchase of over $25, I bought Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce as well.  Between then and now, I've gotten a new gaming laptop, bought Binary Domain for PC, Pre-purchased Guild Wars 2, and bought Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
It's a vicious turnabout knowing I have the means to buy the games I want now but not enough time in the day to play through so many of them as it used to be the reverse when I was in school.  Still, I put in a good amount of time into gaming ever since I got my new laptop.  I've been staying up till 3-4AM every night this past week trying out all the games I had before and turning them to the max settings.  I still end up playing a lot of League of Legends everyday since a lot of my friends play it; however, I've been making an effort to play other games such as DotA 2, Team Fortress 2, and Vindictus.  I mainly want to burn through some of my older games such as the F.E.A.R. DLCs, Red Faction Guerrilla, and Assassin's Creed so I can start playing some of the other games I bought such as Ys: Origins, FarCry 2, and Sonic Generations.

I've actually gotten a bit more productive once again when I re-established contact with the two teams I was working with.  So I'm still working on sound effects on one team while working on music with the other.  Both games are practically completed and are being refined at the moment.  As for my personal projects, I haven't touched anything for a while and haven't really found the time to work or finish them as I'm working with the two teams during the day and playing games with friends at night.

I finished Acchi Kocchi's first season and I'm really hoping for second season to be created.

It was such a cute and hilarious show!  I was a bit sad when I finished it though.  I wanted more cuteness like that!  I want to continue watching animé to take a break from constantly working and constantly playing games, so I'm considering of getting back in Hokuto no Ken and finishing it.  Still, I'd really like to find more animé like Acchi Kocchi that makes me laugh and feel happy after watching it.

August is breezing by rather quickly, and so I should really get work done and land a job sometime early next year.  If not, I really might have to considering taking classes again and going back to school.  I don't want to go back...
