Shame

Dangit GameStop, bane of my existence! Why tempt ye me? Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations? Okay, okay actually I have been tempted and I have yielded. I stop in at that store quite often and I honestly don't know why. I guess I like to find a deal on a used game or two, or just bask in the glory of the gaming world. The problem: I can always find about 100 things I want and I either can't get them, or I end up getting them anyway.

Most gamers have what is called their "Pile of Shame" which is basically a list (or pile) of games that a gamer owns or has played (borrowed) but has not finished. Some games in a gamers pile of shame include games that are not opened yet (which doesn't sound bad but it is when the game has been owned for months or even years). My pile isn't as big as some but it is big enough that I feel shamed. So here is a list of my UNFINISHED games:

Army of Two
Assassins Creed
Call of Duty 4
Condemned
Crackdown
Dance Dance Revolution Universe
Fallout 3
Forza Motorsports 2

Gears of War

Gears of War 2

Halo 3
Halo 3 ODST
The Impossible Game
Lego: Batman
Lego: Star Wars
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Need for Speed Pro Street
The Orange Box
Pure
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Resident Evil 5
Trials HD
WET

Sadly, there may be more that I am not remembering at the moment.(Some of these games I have finished, but I had to reset my xbox and lost all my game data, so I'm going to play them again)  My goal is to work my way through this list and complete each game so I am no longer shamed. These are some great games and I want to play them. The hard part: there are always new games and new deals to distract me.  I'm going to make a Pile of Shame box on the side of my blog to show my progress and I'll upodate you every so often. Ready, Set, GAME!

Shame - Matchbox 20

What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone
Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And there's no one around you can remember being good to
You
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how
They go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
There's no one around you can remember being good, for you
So
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

We never thought we'd get so troubled
We could never think that much
It should never get this bad

So let the wind blow ya, across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here
For
Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood
For you
