Starting this week and lasting who-knows-how-long, I’ll post my daily progress in all of the video games I’m playing. Mock my taste! Marvel at my progress! Experience my triumphs and failures vicariously!

On Monday, I…

• Played five more puzzles of “Professor Layton And The Curious Village.” I do believe the stamp puzzle is the hardest puzzle in the game. I still haven’t found Puzzle #8. How can this be? I have almost every other puzzle up through #45.

• Dinner with a friend was cancelled, so I joined Kotaku’s Brian Crecente online at night to help fight terrorists in a co-op mission in “Rainbow Six Vegas 2.” Brian played the role of soft-spoken motivational speaker, gently confirming that, now, on our 12th try of the mission we were going to get to wipe out the required 30 terrorists and be victorious. And then we’d fail. He was the superior player, I’ll admit. Seventy minutes into our effort, he mopped up the final Vegas-ruining bad guy and we were victorious. I won some camouflage for our efforts.

Then he brought me into what may well be the final stage of the campaign. I wondered if I could count this game as one I’d completed if I merely went through its final level with him. I won’t have to answer that because, just as we were rushing into the game’s version of Mann’s Chinese Theater to defuse a bomb, I realized I had to go to bed. I have to take these cut-off times seriously, so I can run in the morning. So was that the end of the game? I don’t know. I’ll have to ask.

• Played one more chapter of “Uncharted.” Reached the part that I fear may be akin to “BioShock“’s final boss battle — the part where the carefully crafted tone of the game is ruined by the introduction of a new type of enemy. I hope I’m wrong. Still have a handful more chapters to go, I think.

Tuesdays are my busiest days of the week. Once again, I think I’ll only be playing “Layton” for the day, aside from some Nintendo stuff for work.
