I don't have time for a thorough analysis, but I think you can learn something from game one, move 6, bb5. Do you want to take that knight (no! bishops are generally better than knights and more importantly the trade would help black's congestion) and does a6 or c6 hurt black at all? (Nope!) Are those moves black might want anyway? That isn't obvious to me, c5 looks like the natural pawn break, but they are more likely to be helpful than hurtful. So bb5 was a bad move. Nb2 to develop and possibly support an eventual e4 is better -- decide on the bishop later.

What makes you 1000 ELO?
Why 1200? Why a rating at all?
For some context, this game was in a 5 minute blitz with no increments. I ran out of time in my winning position and lost.
I think there's a clue hidden here.
Anyone got any tips for me to improve really fast?
1st step to improve anything, start doing the right things. That means you have to stop doing the wrong things also.
What are you doing? Why are you doing it? And if justified, why now?
I just started learning the London System yesterday and am implementing it into my game, most of my games have been really closed and fun, but I end up losing on time.
You just started learning it yesterday, but you expect to win on time playing blitz/bullet?
Should've played increment. This was my first game hopping on (today), and I've found I either play a game almost perfectly like this one ~ 80% accuracy after 43 Moves or find myself angry after losing past games and blunder multiple times in a match like the second chess match.
Do you really think it's "nearly perfect"?
Anger issues over a game, how old are you?
In this first game, I feel my pawn play was really solid and the London System allowed me to craft a quite nice pawn structure. My opponent even blundered his knight and I saw it and took advantage of it.
Annotate your game. No, annotate another game. Take notes while you play, and add those to your annotations.
In this second game, a 'Sicilian Defense Open' goes on the board - I react with a quite awkward opening and later play Bishop G5, a supposed inaccuracy, why is this move an innacuracy? It pins the knight to the queen and postpones ideas of e5 for black. And then i play Rook E1 - a blunder. The idea is that bxf2 would fork the king and the rook - but my opponent makes a mistake right back and takes with the queen. Rook E1 is a clear blunder, but I played this because it felt like a natural developing move. And from there, the game is decided and I blunder some material and resign.
How can I play more consistently and not have games where I completely blunder from the opening and the other one playing like a solid 1400?
