Every year, around November-December, I do my own personal video game awards. This year is going to be very tricky, for the same reason as last year; I haven't played a whole lot of titles. Granted, a handful of them are waiting for the holiday season.

But deciding on the best soundtrack of the year? Yeah, that's gonna be a bitch.

I already know what the top three are gonna be: Titanfall, Destiny, and Halo 2 Anniversary.

I love how Bungie's weekly update pointed out how they had more players in Destiny's first month than Halo 3 and Reach combined. I love how they write their weekly updates, thinking their 7/10 broken promise trash heap is better than one of the greatest competitive shooters of all time.

Destiny is on FOUR consoles, you washed out Activision'd has-beens. Halo 3 and Reach were on one. We're not stupid.

Hiatus letter idea! Hiatus letter idea!

Fimfiction is hereby elevated to DEFCON 4.

It's pretty cool to get alerts about what Bookshelves your stories have been added to.

Of course, this is tempting me to make one titled "Ha this gave you an alert!" and just go rampaging throughout the site.

Wow. This site update actually looks awesome. Kudos to knighty and crew. Just allow NSFW blogs again and we're square.

Yesterday brought about a huge reason to celebrate. The US Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of the overturning of gay marriage bans in several states, Indiana being one of them.

Then last night, Brady and I were hit with such a wave of generosity, it would make a proper characterization of Rarity look bad.

So on Thursday, a major cold front came through, and temperatures in town dropped by 20 degrees. It is now high 40's and mid 50's on a regular basis.

31 days until Brady is here, and I give him that ring.

In gaming news, Bioware released the announcement trailer for The Old Republic's next big expansion, Shadow of Revan.

Grant Kirkhope just put the ENTIRE soundtrack of Banjo-Kazooie on Bandcamp.

Every single level variation, every sound bit, and even beta pieces that didn't make it into the final game.

164 tracks, easily 6 hours of music, and he's telling buyers to NAME THEIR PRICE.

I think I just peed a little.

Yep. Just what the blog says. This is my first 24 hours off in over three weeks, so I'm just gonna relax overnight.

I'm really not sure if I'm going to reach Generation 10 (currently Gen 9 Level 50 with some lousy regen challenges in my way) or 1,000 games (currently 830) by the time the Master Chief Collection comes out, but I am on the verge of five days played (4d 23h 32m), so that's something.

First up, it's probably my longest distance kill yet.

Because, simply put, I can't do it any better than Smosh.

Finally, an epic remix that has made me fall in love with this song.

I have a local brony friend who is a Nintendo nut. I think his brain is scattered all over his room right now.

This would have made an epic final track in PonyKart, if it hadn't sputtered and died last year.
