I completed Insector X for my player's choice game, but it was about 20 minutes after midnight Central time, so I think I missed the cut off.

I had to use several continues to complete it. I used to be able to fly through this game with a single credit, no problem, sometimes on a single life, but I'm EXTREMELY rusty now. I forgot how large the hit box on your character is. Jesus. I don't know how I used to be so good at this shitty game.

This was the only game I managed to play this week. I was out of town for a few days and when I got back home I had to get one of my cats fixed, and the wife has a dentist appointment, then I had to play catch up at work. Urgh!

One good thing is that the dentist is in a town I only go to a few times a year, and I had some decent pawn shop finds. I actually got a loose replacement battery for my PSP-3000 that I took a chance on for $5. Got home and tested it out and it works great so far (knock on wood). That alone was worth the trip.

I also hit up a pawn shop with a cool ass older dude who runs it. He always throws in a game or two for free when totally up my lot. It's awesome because we don't have a rapport or anything (I'm not there enough for him to remember me I don't think), but he ALWAYS hooks me up when I buy a lot of games, which is just great. I LOVE people who do cool stuff like that just because.
