<p>I realize that this week&#8217;s postings on <strong>Grinding Down</strong> have been less than stellar. Two <a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/category/2011-completed-games/">2011 Games Completed</a> posts, and one lonely musings post on my first StreetPass notification. That&#8217;s it? Yeah, that was it. I&#8217;m sorry for that, but I also have an excellent excuse: <a href="http://www.supertowncomic.com/?p=137">I&#8217;ve been crazily prepping for MoCCA these last few days.</a> And the con is <em>this</em> weekend, meaning that once it&#8217;s all said and done, I&#8217;ll be back to my usual standards of randomly pondering about videogames, doing that <strong>30 Days of Gaming</strong> meme, and complaining about all the letdowns built into the Nintendo 3DS.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve completed <strong>Pilotwings Resort</strong> recently&#8211;or completed as much as I want to&#8211;and am close to finishing <strong>Costume Quest</strong>, making for another two posts on my 2011 completed games list. Plus, I&#8217;ve barely even mentioned all those games I bought last week during Xbox Live&#8217;s sale frenzy. Plenty of fodder all around.</p>
<p>So yeah, there should be more content next week. Please stay tuned.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s my first day off from work this calendar year, and the wife and I will be heading to New York City later. Gotta make sure my 3DS is charged and ready to <em>hopefully</em> StreetPass some folk.</p>
