^I'll be all over the N64 mini if they do decide to release it. That'd be a must have.

I'm taking a temporary hiatus from this journal. Working on something for it and I want to focus on it. So it'll be quiet in here for a bit until I get all the kinks worked out. Stay tuned.

Welcome to the (a few days early) month of November and a new theme month for this journal. If you don't know, I've always sort of done theme months in this thread. Sort of stealing Trollheart's idea way back then, but I've sort of dropped off on doing more. So, for the month of November i'm presenting a very special theme month titled "25 Years of Video Games (from birth to now)". If you're confused by the name, don't worry, I am too. It's not really that creative. However, it does have meaning.

Basically, I'm going to be spending the month of November talking about the games that have released from the year I was born, all the way to now. The only catch: I'll only be talking about 5 games from each year as I don't think I could manage more than that. The other catch is it may go with the same method that I did my last one where there wasn't an entry every day, but instead multiple over the course of the weeks in the month. I do this because there will be a lot of sections that will take 2 or maybe 3 parts. But, if I can manage it, I'll attempt to still do daily updates. I'm going to be writing these beforehand so I have a backlog. That should make it easier.

The next post in this journal will be going over the games we will talk about this month. I may or may not stray from the path and talk about something off this list, but that'll just add to the amount of things I'll be discussing here. In my eyes, that's a good thing. And of course, there will be links to everything that will be discussed this month.

So once again, I welcome you to 25 Years of Video Games (from birth to now)

Here is the compiled list of games we will be discussing this month. Once again, this could change throughout the month, but nothing will be removed. Things will just be added as I see fit. So...I guess enjoy? Idk. If some of the years are off or wrong, I'm going based on a Wiki page and some years had certain console releases whereas others had the initial releases for the game. So if I put the game in a certain year, I'm going based off of when that specific game first came out. If I still get some wrong, feel free to lemme know. The list I'm using is decent-ish.
