I've started a new playthrough of Gears of War, mainly because I just renewed my Xbox Live account. I'm probably finally going to get around to Call of Duty 4 sometime this week and as I just got the Orange Box (finally), I'm up to my neck in Portal and HL2. Haven't started on Team Fortress yet, but soon enough!

I've been meaning to try out Mass Effect but really, I'm not sure.

360: I bought Timeshift for Xmas with a gift card. Sooooooooooo much better than Halo 3... I suggest that everyone who likes FPS games check it out.

I went to my local used game store and bought Need for Speed: Most Wanted, cuz I love that game! I'm slowly playing through my blacklist, slower than normal cuz I race the blacklist racers until I take their cars.

Also still playing co-op bands on Rock Band. I've beaten my Solo Expert Guitar, and my Solo Hard Drums. Maybe I should work on my vocal carrer...

Wii: Not much of anything at the moment. I still have Super Mario Galaxy to re 100% as Luigi. Just kinda biding my time till SSBB.

DS: Pokemon Pink i mean Pearl. I wanted to try out a new team, so I traded em over from my Diamond onto a new game... go team Eevee! (Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon!)

A buddy of mine bought me the game Devilish for DS, which is the most intense version of Break-out I've ever played... It spans 2 screens, and you have 2 paddles. One on the bottom, and one you can move freely.

I don't play video games that much anymore;I'm usually too old and busy to play little kids' stuff.

Although, I have gotten my hands around Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on the PlayStation for a while and playing some games here and there on my ePSXe emulator.

I locked my SNES in my closet (I broke the B button and the Y button on my controller from playing too many Mario games).

Surely you're kidding, NED? No time for "little kids' stuff?" what would Rydia say if she heard you saying that? Seriously, video games can be and always have been appreciated by people regardless of age.


Back on topic, after beating Gears of War on Insane and have moved on to CoD4, which, for the most part, plays like it's predecessors with the exception of being set in modern times. Fun game, but like in the case of most Xbox games of late, the single player modes are lacking and most of the achievements are focused around online play.

There are too many games I'm into right now. I have like 4 more weeks to finish them all before I go back to school and have to resume working.

I am still hooked on Pokemon Pearl, somehow. I have logged ~230 hours on the one game file and have more ready-to-go pokemon than I can count. I really just randomly pick a few when I want to battle. Shuckle and Bronzong can usually sweep a team on their own, so the other four are just fillers. smile.gif

I picked up FF3DS about a week ago for REAL cheap at a nearby game store. I have played that for awhile, too, but not as much as the other games.

Mario Galaxy. 'nuff said.

I got back into Diablo II, which I really regret. It's so addicting. Bah. I now have 3 level 80+ characters, two mid 70's, and a new Energy Sheild/CB sorc that I wanted to test. And by new I mean just entering nightmare. These are all new characters, too. I had to buy a new CD key because I got banned last time for being too good.

And then, as usual, there is SSBM.

tax refunds are coming in and that means...IT'S POOR PEOPLE CHRISTMAS!!!!

games you say?

Assassin's Creed is sucking up alot of my time. hell i have fun in that game just running around pissing off guards.

i had Bioshock for a while, but some problem with that autoupdate that comes with Halo 3 left me unable to play Bioshock. sadness.

having friends that work at GameStop means i can trade non-working Bioshock for Mass Effect. Bioware fails to disappoint(making up for that whole KOTORII thing)

and i'm "borrowing" my little brother's copies of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. both great FPSs.

i would be playing WoW but the internet continues to elude me.

Now I have played through Phantom Hourglass (And I have every ship-part except for three!) and I am at the last chapter of Phoenix Wright, I also have ALMOST every star in galaxy.. But I recently started playing Zelda: Oracle of seaons again, and I'm considering playing majoras mask again for some reason.. And I am making a new non-ev team (I usally EV train all of my competive teams, but this I will use for battling my friends that doesn't EV train themselves..) in pokémon Diamond.. And of course I have thousands of other games to play x_X

Edit: Now I just ordered Phoenix Wright 2, so I really have to play through the first, and I was planning on ordering FFIII, but I didn't for some reason, so now I'm playing the NES version (It's fun, so I took the Warlock as my avatar xD), but it's taking my time.. I have some school stuff to do also. *Sigh* TIME! ALL I ASK FOR IS MORE TIME!

Always playing RuneScape. My nerdity is shameless, I know. Been playing Final Fantasy I on GBA and FF Crystal Chronicles on Game Cube as well. I also usually take breaks from my norm and play Icewind Dale or Baldur's Gate again with a different party to shake things up a little.

Against 100% of my better judgment, I'm playing Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories. I played the **** out of the first Disgaea game, but D2 has been gathering dust in my DVD box for a long time now. I just fought Axel for the second time, and I already hate the readjusted class system. Not the classes themselves, they're great, just the part where I have to transmigrate five times as often if I want to unlock the final class tier.

EDIT: I like how the class tree is rebalanced and the inclusion of passives, so that Magic Knights and Warriors are actually useful; I'm also a big fan of the new Gunner and Armor Knight classes. But I definitely don't like the story characters in this game as much as the first, I *really* don't like the new Speed-calculated fist attacks, and I miss the Angel and old Ronin classes... they took out two of my two favorite classes from D1.

But while I don't really like the story characters much, Adell is a broken bastard. Solid stats, great multipliers, and a way-too-good passive. Right now he's at level 42 and my second-best unit is 29.... He's pretty much soloing entire stages.

I picked up Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney yesterday evening, and it's probably going to be my weekend. I also have God of War: Chains of Olympus on reserve. Once I pick that game up, I won't be buying anything else until next fall, and that's a promise. In other news, I have transformed into an armadillo.

Oh, and I've started to powerlevel in D2, and I picked up on something pretty quickly - the Magic Knight (one of the lamest classes in D1) is maybe the best class in the game. Her multipliers are only medium-good and her weapon proficiencies aren't very impressive, but she gets a passive bonus to all elemental attacks that can grow as high as +95%. You work on her staff skills, teach her some Tera magic from pupils, build up those damage bonuses, and give her some INT-raising equipment, and you're pretty much OHKO-ing everything that isn't 40 levels higher than you are.

Mostly Playing Virtual Console games right now.

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn: Hard Mode Part 4 Chapter 3, Sanaki keeps dying which sucks.

Super Mario World: Downloaded it yesterday on my wii, and i cant beat the cookie mountain level after castle 3.

Super Mario Galaxy: 84 Stars.

Luminous Arc: My friend let me borrow it and its quite good, though the only bad thing is that after every chapter, theres new equipment to buy, so its a waste buying before the last chapter.

Donkey Kong 3: Really havent played this in a while, so im still in Kremwood forest and i cant beat the boss.

Super Mario Bros 3: Desert world, but i cant beat the castle level. eh.gif

Zelda Ocarina of Time: Inside of Jabu Jabu getting the spirtual stone of water, and for the first time, ive noticed throwing princess ruto at the jellyfish is way better than wasting my slingshot ammo.

Sonic 3: World 2 Act 1.
