I brought PSU, but couldn't install it because it sucks.
Got City of Heroes off a friend for a trial. That sucked, too.
I'mma head back to WoW, now.
I'm playing some Dead Rising. I just bought it the other day when I noticed the price on it was down. Since I've been wanting to play this baby I couldn't resist!
Also trying to complete the national poke'dex in Diamond! What a pain in the ass!
I finally got a Wii! So I picked up a few games that I've been looking at for a while. Those are Sonic and the Secret Rings and Elebits.
I found sonic and the secret rings kind of easy except for that giant robot guy and the first fight against Arazor. Overall I really like the game but the ending was really cheesy.
Elebits was really fun until the later stages. It just turned into running around and seeing how many times I could press the "A" button. I havn't finished the game yet, but I'm planning to do so soon.
So far my experiance with the Wii has been good, but I don't see me playing it more than the 360. I guesse it will work good as a sidekick.
Just finished playing Zelda: Twilight Princess (friggin' love that game), so I'm probably going to pull out Ocarina of Time (GC version) now.
Just brought myself a copy of PSU on the 360. So happy that I'm not having any problems with it.
Still playing Civ IV on my laptop. On my DS, I'm growing a few more berries in Pokmon Pearl, but mainly I'm replaying Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, as I haven't completed it yet, so i restarted because I actually understand the game now. On the 360, I'm going through Saint's Row, which is pretty good.
I played through the first two dungeons in OoT, but I wasn't much in the mood to play through the third one, so I figured I'd load a game save I keep from just after the third dungeon is completed. However, on the way to doing so, it occured to me that I never have gotten around to finishing the Master Quest version of OoT, so I decided to pick up where I left off there instead. Currently working my way through the Forest Temple now. I've got to say, it's quite a bit of fun playing through something that seems so familiar on the surface, but in reality is quite different from what I'm used to. And it's just kinda cool to be surprised by unexpected stuff in OoT again.
We'll see how I feel when I get to the MQ Water Temple though, heh...
Silent Hill 3. I'm in that kind of mood.
Just completed Jill Mode on Resident Evil: Deadly Silence's Rebirth Mode. Good game.
Probably now tackle REmake...
I'm on the REmake, too!
SSBM Announcer: RACE TO THE FINISH!
So, Fire Temple was fun, heh. Part of what I'm finding fun about the OoT Master Quest is that many of the puzzles seem to resort to various amusingly dirty tricks that you don't normally see in Zelda games. Or things that seem confusing at first, only to end up being stupidly easy once you figure it out. Especially with some of the things hidden in plain sight. Fun stuff.
Of course, part of my delay in the Fire Temple was a result of my brain stalling and completely forgetting that you can hookshot to wooden crates. Heh. 
I'm also noticing that, contrary to what I'd heard, the bosses are actually a little tougher this time around. In the original OoT, once you exploit the weak point on a boss, it'll sit there for a bit and let you hack away at it wildly before it resumes it's pattern. From what I've seen so far in MQ, the time you have for attacking is considerably shorter. I usually haven't been able to get in more than one or two hits before the boss resumes it's normal pattern. The bosses all still follow the same patterns as in OoT, but they end up taking longer to defeat since you have less time to attack.
Anyway, on to the Water Temple, I suppose. Or actually the Ice Cavern first. Should be interesting to see if that's any different.
MGS2 - still. I am not enjoying this game as much as I enjoyed MGS3 for some reason. I think I just like the openness of the jungle and the more survivalist approach rather than "im in ur buldin, sneakin arown".
Okami - I finally started my second playthrough after 6 months. The beginning is kind of boring, but beautiful ~.~
Meteos - Trying to unlock all of the planets, I'm about 6 away from being complete, and the massive amounts of meteos that are needed to fuse planet Meteo is insane. =(
Picross DS. Laugh if you want, the thing's damned fun and I knew that before I ever picked it up (thank you, Mario's Picross).
Also the 360 SotN. Nice to revisit that one. Shame the voice-acting is worse than I remembered (and I didn't remember it fondly to begin with).
Anyway, I have $50 worth of MS Points (thank you Circuit City 2-for-1 deal), so I'm deciding what to spend it on, right now. SotN was the first purchase (bringing it from $60 to $50)... I'm thinking either Marathon or DOOM, but the former is free (and the 360 version's giving people motion-sickness) whilst the latter I already own and have played several times over. Agh, decisions!
Or perhaps I'll go for neither and buy every Commander Keen ever made on Steam for a fiver. Maybe another fiver to legally own Wolfenstein 3D while I'm at it.
Back to Final Fantasy X.
So far, Dark Bahamut and Omega Weapon have fallen to the mighty haxorness of Yojimbo. Have Aurons and Rikkus Celestial Weapons, and I'm close to Tidus and Yunas. Refuse to get Lulu or Wakkas, as lightning dodging sucks and Bliztball is the toll of some twisted game developer. Kimahris could be ok. Haven't tried Butterfly Catching yet, but I also hear that the devil himself had a hand in creating that game.
My next task I've set myself is obtaining Anima and the Magus Sisters, but that involves a lot of trekking back to the old temples (And Dark Shiva), neither of which appeals to me. Maybe I'll get lucky with Yojimbo again. Maybe.
Craig, let the REmaking begin! >:O
Still on Dead Rising. I'm at that part where you must find all the bombs in the tunnels while Carlito tries to run you down. All that plus thousnads of zombies equals frustration!
When I'm not on Dead rising I'm replaying Chrono Cross!
Yo, SH, if you haven't gotten Assault Heroes, Bomberman, or Boom Boom Rocket yet that'd be a good way to spend some MSPoints
Just finished Hotel Dusk... It was okay, but I wasn't overly impressed... I blame Pach for this.
Might revisit PW:AA or might try some of those GBA RPGs I've been putting off for ages.
Boktai 1, Boktai 2, and Lunar Knights.
Downloaded Lylat Wars due to a friend's constant pressuring to do so.
Bloody good game. Branching paths ftw and Landmaster tank = sex.
Just finished up with the OoT Master Quest. Which was all kinds of awesome. Should've played it back when I first got it two years ago. Loads of fun playing through things for the first time and seeing all the diferences. (and more of the hilariously dirty tricks they pulled this time) Definitely a bit harder than the original, but in some ways I actually like this version better. Could be partly because I'm so familiar with the orignal already, but in some cases I found some of the new puzzles to be more fun and/or entertaining.
And the stuff that was unchanged from the original is still awesome as well. It's been a while since I've played OoT, so I forgot just how spiffy some stuff was (like the final boss sequence). Pretty darn nice for an N64 game.
Which brings me to a random side note, this game sure looks a lot nicer on the GameCube. When you've played the GC version for a while you kind of get used to the clearer, sharper, higher resolution look, and going back to the N64 can be pretty surprising. I ran across a heart piece in MQ that I'd never gotten around to getting previously, so I loaded up my original OoT saves (GC & N64) to grab it there as well. My first reaction on starting the N64 version was something along the lines of "holy crap, this looks pathetic." Heh. I'm sure I'd get used to it again if I played through that version, but it's a pretty startling comparison after playing the GC versions so much.
Anyway. Enough of that rambling. I'm still in quite a bit of a Zelda mood at the moment, so I'm planning to finally try out Majora's Mask (GC version), another game I've had for two years and haven't gotten around to really playing yet. Heh. I've messed with it a little, but usually every time I thought about trying it, I ended up playing OoT instead. Maybe this time I'll finally play through it. It certainly looks interesting enough.
I suppose one benefit of letting games sit around for two years is that when I finally do get around to playing them, it's like having a totally new game without having to buy anything.
i'm happily running around on a chocobo on FF9 right now, nearly on the 4th disk too. ^^
Finally caved and bought God of War rather cheaply.
Not bad, but it's no Devil may Cry.
paper mario : tyd, since its the only game i havent completed yet.
gah im gonna need to get a next-gen console ><
Elite Beat Agents. Currently stuck in ninja level. 'Tis hard, that level.
Currently replaying Super Princess Peach.
Recently acquired and completed the first Zone of the Enders, was mildly amused and decided to try the sequel.
HOLY CRAP, DID I JUST FIGHT AGAINST A VIC VIPER ORBITAL FRAME?! WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED THIS GAME WAS PURE UNGODLY WIN!?
ZOE2, @#%$ YEAH!
Vic Viper?! Like from Gradius? Hahah awesomeness. I wanted 2nd Runner, but couldn't find it anywhere here. =/ As for me, i've been playing Melee but I think i'm going to continue Shenmue and maybe pick up on some other DC games. I'm thinking of going on a week of Sonic starting at Sonic CD and ending at Sonic and the Secret Rings. Not sure if I could do it in a week though. I suppose I could though...save money on food and stuff. =]
Quote:
Vic Viper?! Like from Gradius?
Oh yeah, complete with an expanding armament of missiles, lasers, ripple beams, shields, options and boss fight music that sounds like a remix of two Gradius themes.
Ahhh thats awesome. I really want this game now. =( Maybe someone at college will.
I recently got Mario Strikers charged. It's really fun but I didn't exactly like the idea of paying $50 for it. It seems more like a $40 game.
Also playing Battlefield Modern Combat 2 on xbox live.
F-Zero GX. Not sure what drove me to want to play this. It's been quite awhile and boy can I tell. Still though, it's awesome. Can't remember why I stopped playing it.
*3 hours pass and he's still on Chapter 6*
Ok I remember now. >_<
Been playing PSU for the past week.
500 achievements, so I must be doing something right. <3
Don't you just have to play through the game to get the achievements?
I've now moved onto sonic 2k6 again. Just trying for some achievements.
ha... F-Zero GX... I tried that once... Got to the second chapter with the race against Samurai... and could not win. So I gave up.
Hahaha the one with the boulders, Stewie? Yea this games no joke. And what do you know it's a Sega/Nintendo game...maybe Mario and Sonic will be like F-Zero, not a failure. Just maybe. =P
After a long time on Ratchet: Gladiator, I have started Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
Only got as far as Tomb of Qualotec (Sp?) But it is win. For some reason it reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. Its just you and you climb around. Mind you I've just seen the best bit of the game.
Spoilers (Select To Read): YOU SHOOT A T. REX IN THE EYE. IN THE EYE! @#%$ YES!

Why, yes. So I must be doing something right, indeed.
Playing through phantasy star universe myself. Currently on chapter 4. I also downloaded the demo for Bioshock. This is the most intense game I have ever played. I wasn't too sure if I would like it, but I've decided that I will get it.
At the moment nothing. After my mom's alarming and possibly life-altering news, i'm trying to adjust to life witho-withou-without VIDEO GAMES! *jumps off his house*
I'm back on the REmake and actually making progress for a change. Who knows, I might actually complete it this time.
Playing through Metroid II: Return of Samus on my DS... It's okay... I hate not having a basic map to know where I am/ have been though.
Just completed Greece on Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
Many dead Laras at St. Francis Folly. Damocles room is =( Plus Lara doesn't get impaled like she did in the original. One time she actually bounced a good 10 feet into the air. It was like Classic Sonic death + Ragdoll physics + Lara = lol.
Spoilers (Select To Read): Pierre dies. =(
MGS 3 ♥♥♥
Need For Speed: Carbon.
Currently taking out the Stacked Deck, and unlocking Tier 3 parts for my Supra, by using my RX-7. Yes, I am ricing this.
Hey ricing is alright...sometimes. =P
Replaying Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. It's really fun, but it's lost some of its initial charm and magic playing through the second time...
...and man, it's so dang slow. I hate the Trouble Centre and the sidequests it sends you on but the completist I am forces me to do them ><
I just started playing Super Paper Mario again, right where I left off on my newest file. About to enter Chapter 5-2.
Mostly been playing Zelda: Majora's Mask lately. I have to say, this is one bizzare game. o_O Not to mention insanely detailed. I keep having trouble making up my mind on what I think of it. Some parts about it I like, and some others I find tedious and annoying. But usually just when I'm getting sick of tedious annoying stuff, it starts getting good again. I think I like it overall, just not as much as OoT and TP. It is certainly an interesting change of pace. And the stuff I find annoying now will probably be less annoying in future playthroughs when I already know what I need to do.
Anyway, I'm up to the third dungeon currently. I was about halfway though it yesterday, but the game abruptly froze for no apparent reason. >_< Fortunately I've been obssessively backing up my game save periodically, so I didn't lose as much as I could've, but it's still annoying to have start the dungeon over from the beginning.
So much so that after the game freeze yesterday I said "screw this" and switched to Halo. Been far too long since I've played the PC version of the original online, so that was pretty fun. I'm off to make another attempt at the dungeon in Majora's Mask now, but I'll probably be making my way back to Halo PC online later today.
oh mama
