New list, and goal updates

I've decided to be a little realistic, and add the option to abandon goals if it becomes impractical, impossible, or not entertaining to complete them. Since the goal of games is to have fun, I don't want any goal I set for myself to feel like a job.

The first goal that gets added to this list of shame is Soul Calibur: Legends. I've reached a point in the game where the difficulty has ramped up, and it requires repeating the same stage over and over until I finally get lucky enough to beat it. The problem is that, while SC:L is an entertaining distraction to play for 15 - 30 minutes, the gameplay is just not fun enough to justify playing this same level (and likely subsequent ones) over and over until I complete. At this point, I've seen basically all the game has to offer in terms of gameplay, and I am content to put it away on my shelf.

As for a Boof Rating, I have to give it a reluctant Meh. As stated, I did find it entertaining, and a good diversion. But, the repetition in environs, along with the difficulty scaling cause this rating. I'd say it is still worth a rental if you are a fan of Soul Calibur. It is disappointing because a brawler using SC characters had so much potential.

In other goal news, I've essentially completed my SSB:B goals. I still have to get the rest of the music that drops as CDs during brawls. This may takes some time, but I'll work at it :)
