Stiiiill playing Legend of Heroes. I'm doing really well in it, though I know I'm nowhere near the end of the game yet.

It's difficult to keep playing at the moment, though, because I got Lunar: Silver Star Harmony for mah birthday and I wanna play it.

i've been playing Harvest Moon the Tree Of Tranquility for the last three days almost nonstop besides being at work and sleeping. it's disgustingly adorable.

Been playing KH: Birth By Sleep this weekend, and loving it. Played thru terra's story. He's sorta this game's riku. and that's almost a spoiler there. =P
Playing thru as ventus now. looks like roxas. but more annoying cuz he's weak mofo compared to terra. Can't wait to get to aqua's story.

All on critical mode, btw. And I want the soundtrack. NAO!

Oh yeah, you don't get to fight Cloud or sephiroph in this one... but you do get to fight another soldier in the coluseum. Cheap as hell too. Got this combo he starts off with that you can't dodge and won't survive unless you forge leaf bracer and some other ability that lets you survive a combo that would kill you. seriously, he will kill you many times. @.@

Played a little bit of a lot of games today and yesterday.

I'm close to halfway through Valkyria Chronicles apparently, and the battles are finally starting to take more than one attempt now. The first one that gave me trouble (which I hear is one of the hardest in the game) had me trying to take out a ginormous tank that was just cruising across the map and bulldozing my bases. It made me mad. >:(
To take a break from that, I went back to PoP: Forgotten Sands and managed to finish it. The epilogue was thoroughly disappointing, but the lead-up to the final boss was fairly epic.
When I finished that, I finally tried that copy of La Pucelle Tactics I bought from Monkey ages ago. I only played a few rooms into, so I don't have much of an opinion of it yet, but it shows promise. Prier's voice annoyed me after about one line of dialogue though, so I had to change the language to Japanese.
After running away from a giant bat in La Pucelle, I switched over to Folklore. I nearly finished it several months ago, but I never played the last level for reasons I don't quite remember. I think I wanted to max out all of my Folks but got tired of that and switched to another game.
I didn't get to play that for long before people started coming over for dinner though, so I played a round of Ragdoll Kung Fu with one of my friends who was there.

I played some more Ragdoll with the same guy today after lunch, and we talked my brother into joining us for a while. He hardly plays games anymore, citing that they're too complicated for him, and he prefers to watch nowadays.
Then...what was after that...ah yes, Echochrome. Hadn't played that for a while, and my friend (who hates the game) was actually the one who suggested it, saying that he wanted to see how long he could hold out.
Hmm, actually, I think I had him play the demo of Flower before Echochrome, but that only lasts one level anyway.
Somewhere in there, he helped me try to get a trophy in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time (need 10,000 points in a minigame), and we made absolutely no progress, which was a bit depressing.
Best of all, however, is that I talked him into playing Scott Pilgrim with me~ He been biased against the IP ever since I showed him the first movie trailer (T_T), so this was a major breakthrough.

Dunno what I feel like playing now after all of that.

Play some more folklore. I know I went and bought all the DLC some time before I left for the army and only got thru part of it (mostly cuz of an accidental overwrite of my main save file. >.<)

Folklore was great, with the perfect music to go with it. Story/end is still just a little bit confusing, but I remember the christmas DLC being more helpful in the matter.

I can't blame you for trying to max out all the folk in the game. i did too and then... well, to many hours, only to be disrupted by a stupid overwrite. oops.

I think it may have been the liquids that annoyed me into playing something else. I don't think I ever got more than 2 of those.
And going back to play an endgame save after a hiatus of many months felt weird. I could barely remember what any of my folks did, much less which ones to use on the enemies in Hellrealm, where my last save was for some reason.

I will go back to it soon though. Need to knock it off my "unfinished" list.

[Maelstrom]

Lol, that's how i felt, which is why i had run through the game on a new save file that ended up replacing the orginal. >.<

ATM, I can't remember what my four main folk were for running through any area...

[Septerra]

Playing Ragnarok DS for some time now. I lack some sort of fast travel system (or it might be coming, dunno).
Other than that I have been playing darksiders on the PC, just a regular slash em up game.

When I renewed my Gamestop membership a month or so ago, I got a coupon from their new online rewards programs for a buy-2-get-1-free deal on any used games. After poking around the GS website to look for a single store that had three games I wanted, I picked up Infamous, Chrono Trigger DS, and DDR: Hottest Party 3. I haven't played the others yet, but the new DDR is quite good. I'm looking forward to playing CT though since I never did beat it when I played a rom however many years ago that was.

EDIT: I suspect my copy of Infamous was previously owned by a smoker...

[kspr]

ew....if you dampen a paper towel fabreeze that should take it right out. infamous is very very cool. the ending is somewhat shamaylan-esque though.

[Stars]

Huh, thanks. I'll definitely give that a try.

Beat Other M last night and Folklore this afternoon, so I can cross those of my list. I don't think I'm going to move on to another game just yet, though. I'd like to go for some of the "collectables" in both games: expansions in Metroid (also unlocks more of the Gallery) and folks and one last cloak in Folklore (plus special costumes for getting all the folks).

I've got to say, though, both of those games had some nasty final boss fights. Metroid's was especially bad because I could guess what the boss was as the fight grew nearer and hoped I was wrong (so much for that).

Hm, come to think of it, I still haven't beaten the Johto Elite Four in HeartGold yet. I might get back on that soon too.

[Monkeydog]

I was trying to play The Adventures of Tron Bonne...but apparently it hates me and won't allow itself to be emulated.

So whatever.
Kind of playing Megaman Legends.

[Billy]

Focusing on Super Mario Bros 2 (US, SNES version), since I've never beaten it. (But I have beaten lost levels, weird huh?)

[Septerra]

started Dragon quest IX yesterday, so far I find it very promising.

[BottomGuy]

Super Mario Bro. 3

My lives are somewhere in the 70s, have 3 or more of every power-up in my inventory, and I'm already at World 8. Gee, I wonder if I'm going to have trouble =p

[Septerra]

Powerwing for the win!

[Stars]

I played a bit of Silent Hill 2 this week, perhaps because Halloween is around the corner. Man, remember when horror games had tank controls? It feels awful playing it now. Videogames today have spoiled us.

[Maelstrom]

beat Birth By Sleep for all 3 characters as well as the final episode. Then watched Blank Points, the 'secret' movie for beating it. And then found and collected all the stickers on Terra's file. and got up to lvl 19/20 in the arena.

Gonna get back to playing Ys 7 (pronounced like ice, but with an ee sound at the front instead) eventually. The boss/giant monster battles in this game are epic and actually challenging. =D

[rekaru]

I've decided that I'm going to replay and finally finish Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It's probably my third favorite game ever.

Hrm..the hard part is deciding whether I want to start the game with a plan in mind for each character or if I just want to wing it like I usually do.
