Hey, November, go fuck yourself.

Is it just me, or are there a crazy-ass number of GOOD games out this year?
I know November always has this massive release push, but it seems to me that this year and, to a smaller degree, last year marked a large amount of top-notch, long-awaited titles that made Novembers past seem pale in comparison.
Am I just getting old, or is it really a lot worse (or better, depending on your perspective which likely involves a mixture of your disposable income and disposable time) than it's ever been? I feel...crushed under the weight of all this excellent shit.

I have no disposable income and no disposable time this November and December.
I feel like this might become another "What are you buying this month" thread, but I have to agree, November has seriously raped my wallet. Badly.
It's tough trying to justify buying myself this much stuff this close to Christmas.
And it's not like it's just one platform, either...it's pretty much quality offerings across the full range.
And yes, unlike years past, this feels like a particularly heavy concentration of Pure Awesome in a relatively short timespan. I'd say maybe August through November, personally, but still....in a few weeks alone, it's been Galaxies, RE: Umbrella Chronicles, Hellgate, Zack and Wiki, Phoenix Wright 3, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect...just to name a few.
Stuff is coming out faster than I play the prior stuff.
SO MUCH MONEY.
Honestly, I went from unemployment to working 50-60 hours a week. So I went from the latter (free time up the wazoo with no money) to the former (lots of money and no time).
I know this isn't a Philosophy forum or anything, but where the hell do you people get the time to work, sleep, eat, and game?

I know. I keep reading release lists and saying "Oh, that's coming out in February? Thank God." That's a first for me this year as well.
Thank you namco for fucking up soul calibur legends.

The problem, I only really get to play on friday and saturday nights. The rest of the week, the only time I can really get at the tv is right before I go to bed, so if I do play, I'll just be up late and have a hard time getting up for work the next day (which I already do).
I need longer days.
Then I get home on the weekend, spend time with the girlfriend, and play games when I have time.
I wish there were releases like this all year long.
Or GTA 4, for that matter.
Phew, what a backbreaker that would have been.
Like I might have to buy Galaxy just to kill some time until smash comes out.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, depending on how you look at it), I don't have a 360 or a good computer, so the only thing I've been able to play is HL2: Episode 2 and Portal, with everything on low.

Why can't more good games come out in June.
It's got to be way more than that by now.
Maybe if we stop talking about it November will go away.
