yes Hiro...L4D is quite awesome. The Orange Box is a fantastic bundle too, btw. You have Mother 3!? Grrr! I'm jealous! Have fun with that man
As for my gaming...getting in my 2D fighter fix with KoF Orochi Saga[Wii]. Looks like it's going to rock. 
Dead Space- just started chapter 10, so I am very close to the end of the game. Have had a blast and love how the game has thrown new enemies at me so much to keep me interested and the game fresh. 
good stuff
Awwwww yeah.
Awwwww yeah.
AHH! You kill me SH! Anywho...i've got the Super Bowl today. Cowboys and Steelers...just like the old days. 😛 Go 'Boys!!
I actually just hooked my Saturn up to finish PDS. I found out that my memory was deleted. I know that I was really close to beating it. I think it has something to do with that little battery in the back. I have another one lying around somewhere, but would I still have my memory?
Other then that I've been playing Nights Into Dreams. Still as great as ever, just without my high scores I'm a little bummed out.
Nights Into Dreams...lucky, lucky...darn. Anywho been playing KoF Collection alot recently, after starting my new preseason on Madden. Gotta say KoF '94 and '95 are not that great. '96 though...my gosh, I love that stuff!! The button commands are much better than they were in the first two games, but the GC D-Pad is killer lame. I need to use the Classic Controller, but I have no batteries. =/ Anywho...yeaaahhhh!!! KoF rocks!

Nope. It's gone. But you should replace the battery anyway. Or invest in a cartridge back-up device (if you can still find one). I've got one of those 4-in-1s in my Saturn now, I bet it still has all the saves on it. Kind of a hassle to have to access the saves and copy to system memory when I turn on the console and then once more to re-flash the saves back into the cartridge. Then again, I haven't played with my Saturn in years.
Beat Dead Space a few days ago. Been playing on a new playthrough working on trophies n such.
Also tried out the Home Beta which was pretty interesting. Not sure I'd be on that much, but it seems like a cool lil way to meet some peeps and play games.
Mirrors Edge. It took me a while but I've beat it. Just working through achievements now. I know people complain that it's not got much replayability but I'll happily play through it once per difficulty (easy for the Test Of Faith achievement, normal done and hard for the achievement for that)

I think I'll just get the 4 in 1 things and play through it again. Kind of sucks, but I've already spent a huge amount of money buying Panzer Dragoon Saga, so it won't be too bad spending some more money to finish it.
Just be aware that PDS will detect the unauthorized cartridge and lock up (reading "please remove the cartridge", IIRC). Fortunately, this is preventable; there's a code online you can use with the Action Replay which will circumvent this cheating protection.
On Disc 2, right now. Fought Atolm Dragon a second time, and now am flying around tons of underground tunnels with Azel in tow. Also loaded up Panzer Dragoon Zwei to check out Pandra's Box... nifty stuff.

Argh!! I wanna play, I wanna play!! Anywho KoF '96 and Madden '07 for me. Want to get in some SMRPG though.

As long as its easy to get the code to unlock it, I'll go ahead and do that. Thanks for the heads up. I can imagine the rage I would be in if I figured this out myself.
I remember when I fought Atolm for the second time, it took me an hour becuase I couldn't figure out how to beat her. I really can't wait to get back to playing.
Well, with Panzer Dragoon on my mind I went ahead and played the original right now. I can't beat the freaking boss on level 5! I had four continues and I still could't beat it. I even watched a guy play it on youtube and he went right past it 
Just finished Mirror's Edge, again, and getting kind of tired of it, so thinking of returning it back tomorrow.
Was thinking of replacing it with The Last Remnant. Opinions of it, anyone?
Still playing Dead Space. In chapter 8 again, just trying to run through so I can start my impossible mode.
KoF Orochi Saga...heck yea! '96 is like my girlfriend now...seriously. Absolutely loving it!!! Still got '97 and '98 to go too.
Went from that point I mentioned on Disc 2 to the beginning of Disc 4. Just couldn't put it down, really. Man, that was a wild ride. I'm intrigued to see how it'll end!
Just got my 360 back yesterday, so, I back on Unleashed and enjoying it pretty well.
Still playing Pokemon Gold. I'm in Kanto now. I wonder, and anyone with Pearl or Diamond can tell me, can you still go to the old lands after you finish the new one in the DS Pokemon? Because it was one of the reasons Gold and Silver are so awesome to me, and I haven't played any version newer than them.
Gold and Silver are the ONLY Pokemon games with more than one region. However, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum do have a halfway decent post-game featuring several areas of Sinnoh that are inaccessible before the Elite 4.
Aw, lame. More proof that the series jumped the shark after G/S. =P
Remakes are more lucrative. Fire Red and Leaf Green sold like hotcakes.
Thus, there will never be a G/S/C style post-game bonus ever again. Enjoy your Battle Tower.
Alternating between SIREN: Blood Curse (Awesome, awesome game), Guitar Hero 3, Lost Oddysey (Funeral scene =( ) and Sonic Unleashed (which is utter crap).
and Sonic Unleashed (which is utter crap).
XDXD! I'm on a Madden high right now. Slaghtered the Texans last night as my 'Boys...77-17. Yeah...

Dang, I really got to get to finishing Lost Odyssey. I'm on the boss right before Gongora. I'm severly underleveled and it doesn't help that I can only use a two party members at a time right now. I think I'll try working on it tomarrow.
Right now I've been switcing between Virtua Fighter 5 and Braid. I only need four more puzzle pieces to finish up Braid, so I'm getting pretty close.
The poor Gamecube is taking a break from Tales of Symphonia (170 hours clocked x.x) and now Tricia and I are alternating between polishing off her completed Twilight Princess save file (she beasted the Cave of Ordeals) and our shared progress "buttface" savegame, in which we're at the first temple.
With Christmas days away, I'm sure this means a lot of Crossbow Training in our future, when I bring the Wii home.
Twilight Princess. <3 My first save has like ninety-nine point nine billion percent completion, but for some reason, I can't find one last poe, even with guides. =

Geez man! That's like... more hours than a college undergrad will have upon commencement. 😛 Anywho...got in some Super Street Fighter II earlier...my gosh the difficulty of that game, what the hell? But i'm thinking some KoF and Madden this week. Probably some Brawl and SMRPG too. I really want to whip out the DC and get in some MvC and most importantly...Virtual On Oratorio Tangram . *world melts* Oooooohhhhh yeaaaaaahh. 
I saw Virtual On OT on Ebay recently, although it was part of a package deal and people were fighting for keeps, so i lost that. =(
Due to being completely bored and unmotivated, i started playing GTA4. I've had it since launch but never really bothered with it (i'm not a big GTA fan). I'm definitely enjoying it now, the main character is the only one out of all the GTA stars that i can actually like. Also getting a bit of Soul Calibur IV action here and there, mucking around with character creator can be fun. I made a ninja Talim. =D
Craig's Tales of Symphonia hour clockage doesn't even compare to Blu's, and ESPECIALLY not to HSW's. HSW could do like a world record speed run of the game BLINDFOLDED and with one hand behind his back whilst writing an faq for it AT THE SAME TIME. That's how long he's played it before.

That's sick, Pach. *throws up*
Oh and did you notice which version it was, Spite? For them to have been fighting over it so vigorously...must've been a Japanese 5.66 copy[the ideal version of the game]. But i'm with you on the GTA thing...not much of a fan either. From watching my friends play IV though, Niko is a pretty cool character.
Pach. You've done gone challenged me. I swear, I will beat this game with every possible affection combination. I will beat it in a single sitting. I wont rest until I am as sick as the rest of you diseased bastards who got me addicted in the first place.
LOL Way to go Pach...now he's going to go all WoW on the game. His life...is over. 
Fallout 3 on my PC...well...barely anyway. My comp is struggling with it at medium, and it could play Oblivion on full whack, but there you go. I think it has more to do with the crap this thing has gathered, need to sort it out...
Anyway, the game is fantastic, the setting and characters feel so much more defined than the Elder Scrolls series, with more humour and heart, I haven't once come across the same sounding voice, even if it's by the same actor, and most of the characters I've seen didn't feel like a case of deja vu.
The VATS system really helps too, making the combat feel less frantic and messy like in Oblivion...well...unless you count gore as messy, then it's very, very messy.
I think the potential that Fallout 3 could have had hasn't been fully reached, but we're getting closer.
I'm still progressing in Pokemon Diamond, and I'm not finished with Pokemon Leaf Green yet. Yes I have also been playing some Super Smash Bros Brawl yesterday.
Great, I just got a mental image of Craig trying to solo a Mania Mode Abyssion with a lv 10 Genis. Or even worse, actually beating the Uncle Game in Triet. Way to ruin his life, guys. 😀 (Don't feel bad, it ruined mine as well for the longest time)
On my end, I just finished the Normal ending and the Developer Room (the one where you beat Lavos almost as soon as you start the New Game+) ending to Chrono Trigger DS.
All this talk about Tales of Symphonia reminds me that I've yet to finish my Tales of Vesperia speedrun, so I guess I should get around to finishing that.
I just started Persona 4 today, and I must say, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's quite engrossing, the game's story and gameplay are quite enjoyable, and I haven't found myself bored with it yet. It sounded a little complicated at first, but things seem to be going fairly well right now and it isn't nearly as complicated as I had first heard, though I wouldn't be surprised if it gets more difficult further in the game. I can see that I'll have a lot of fun with this one.
Dead Space- Well I got a 100% trophies now for it. Played through nearly four times and loved every minute of it. Such a sweet game that I can't wait for a sequel.
Final Fantasy X-2- justed started it and already iffy about it. I was iffy about playing it from the get go, but just in the mood for some FF and this is pretty much the only one I haven't played, so yeah, gonna try and get into this. Hopefully will, at least the gameplay seems good.
I played through Indigo Prohecy lately and I must say I quite enjoyed it, except for the last part of the game! I really don't, nor do I want to, know what the hell Quantic Dream was injecting when they wrote the finale! It was just so freaking...um...idiotic! Still a good game though!
NOW PLAYING:
CHRONO TRIGGER!!!!!!
Ha I remember Indigo Prophecy! That game was pretty big when it first came out. Anywho I just finished my regular season['10-11] in Madden and I finished perfect. Just gotta win the SuperBowl, and i'll be great. I want to start another NMH file sometime soon...hmmm when should I?
I almost actually picked up Indigo Prophecy the other day at gamestop. Was really cheap, but decided to save my money.
Final Fantasy X-2- just getting further and further through the game. pretty easy for the most part.
Started another NMH file last night. About to fight Death Metal!! Woo hoo! "It's killing time!"
Played a little of Need 4 Speed Carbon. Also more of FFX-2. Want to play something on my Wii, so I might go through NMH as well after reading your post HS. XD

Hahaha yea? Awesome dude! Well i'm about to go get Midnight Club LA, so take that NFS. 😛
Got Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for Christmas and have been slaving away on it, only 3 hours in thus far. Takes a lot of getting used to and has a nice difficulty curve. Levelling up is a bit slower and the MP system feels redundant, but it's good.
The question is, better than PoR?
That is a tough act to follow and thus far the answer is no. Unless it pulls some really big hits later into the game, this will be my least favorite of the 5 Vania titles I own.
Combination between a replay of my favorite Jak game: Jak II (had, too, little preteen jerks erased my hard-earned 40+ hours file 
) and Chrono Trigger for the DS. I still have to finish Odin Sphere.
Oh My Gosh! It's been years since i've played a Midnight Club game. Wow! I'm totally back into the street racing mood now, though. Absolutely fantastic! Rockstar is sick...they've doen it yet again. Yeeaaaahhh! The MC series is my GTA[considering I don't play the GTAs] and my gosh, is it wonderful.
Only this one's on Xbox Live Arcade. I swear, if any game makes me seem like I have OCD, it's this.
Metroid Prime: Hunters and N+, for the DS. Christmas presents. =D

Haahah Rare has a nack for doing that to people. 😛
Anywho still killing Club. Finally purchased a Lancer Evo. My gosh is it beautiful. Drives just as well as it looks too. Loving this game to death. Also been missing around on Playstation Home a goodbit. Once it develops into what Sony wants it to, it'll seriously be a system seller, it's awesome already.
