Beat Uncharted: Golden Abyss on Normal mode.

I have to say I didn't extremely like it at first so I only played the first 10 chapters and didn't pick it up for 3 months.
But I came home from an extremely stressful exam this afternoon and I have to say that it was just the kind of relaxation I needed.
The views of the jungle, waterfalls and temples, the temple crawling and killing the bad guys with a snipeshot in the knee really are awesome.
The story isn't to bad either although I missed a lot of it due to the 3 month gap.
Finishing this game almost makes me widh I had a PS3 to play the other games in the series.

Finally got a damn Platinum Trophy in Captain Falcons game on NintendoLand. It took me a while. But that's not what I care about, I was able to complete the extra course on that game. And that shit is ridiculously hard. First course, no problem, the night one, past level 6 is really hard for me.

I've also been tackling some of my PS3 games that I've been having sit on my shelf forever. I started Bayonetta and I honestly don't know how the game actually works or what the story is, I'm sure I'm missing a lot of the experience, but I'm just playing through it. I kind of gave up on collecting trophies.

You might rage quit the game for several reasons. I know a bunch of players at paragon 100 that quit after finding nothing left to do.
Well you can't expect there to be unlimited quests. It's still a 'single player' game actually even though you can go online with it, so there are not as much quests as in an MMORPG.

4 game win streak in DOTA 2 as invoker, made my steam name David bane (after David Bain), and whenever I got a genocide I would play "They're all dead, I came home and they're all dead!"
:P, If you are a Kiwi you will understand :D

I completed Togepi's Great Adventure (Pokemon Mini). It's a kiddy game, sure, but the last floor was insanely hard...

Completed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the GBC.
Wonderfully simple but fun game IMO.
Got all cards and card combinations too, but I can't find those last monsters to complete the Folio Bruti.
I searched for a guide that tells you where each monster is located, but apparently that doesn't exist...
After some more searching I heard some people even say that it's impossible to complete it since they forgot to add some monsters.

I'm ill at the moment so accomplishments are few and far between, but over the last few days I managed to...

- Paint several new pieces for my gallery in New Art Academy, including a special piece which I created especially for my sweetheart. Let's just say I'm glad it's a beautiful gesture 'cause I can't paint worth a toss.

- Sold a tonne of my PS2 games as '3' tried to charge me twice for my mobile broadband bill and sent me badly overdrawn. Thankfullt I've sorted it now and actually turned a profit on most of the games. They were all either broken or just sucked anyway to be honest.

- Wrote several new chapters of my beloved FF7 fanfic 'Requiem' (Awaiting a significantly better title). I've been workig on several versions of it for nearly 8 years now, with this being the absolute final rewrite to get everything perfect and add in the detail. It's going well. I decided to keep in the...uhh...alterations, shall we say. Basically the original script was kid friendly and the scene on the gondola was pure dialogue, but a friend of mine who shall remain nameless (KAI, YOU'RE A BELL END) rewrote it when given it to proof read and now there's no dialogue at all, only...well, imagine how the date scene would have gone if the game was 18 rated and you get the general gist. Thing is, his version actually works better, so I decided to keep it in. With a rewrite, of course. He may be on the right track in terms of pacing but that doesn't mean he can spell...

- Got significantly further than ever before on Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. I've rescued the two maidens for the charms that let me break down walls, I've rescued Maria...now what?

Since the fan on my computer's graphics card has died (I swear its planned obsolescence with those things). I decided to try and finish up a few games I didn't complete on my Gamecube. I started off with XIII. The save game was dated sometime in 2004 and I was about about one third of the way through the game. It took a couple weeks, but I finally finished it. I doubt they ever tested the bosses in this game. Up next finishing the unlocks in Smash Bros Melee and finishing Metroid Prime 2

That game is awesome, I finished both that and the Philosophers Stone multiple times. There's a new game+ feature where you get to keep your cards, and one of the card combinations teaches you all spells :D It's not that hard, although defeating the final boss the first time took me a while IIRC.

You mean the final boss of the first game or the second game?
The final boss of the first was the hardest IMO. To beat the basilisk you just need to have a high enough lvl so your defense and HP are high enough to take about 10 hits of it. I was lvl.45 when I beat it.
With the Weak Point card combination it's even easier.

The first one. I never used any card combinations except for the new game+ get all spells because I usually refuse to use items of any kind in RPGs (not sure why, I'm usually like, I'll save them for when I need them, but even when I need them I still don't use them) and pretty much the only reason I beat him (IIRC) was by spamming the insanely expensive paralyze spell (cost like 80MP I think), Mucus Ad Nauseam for the poison and MP recovery potions. I think the giant spider (Aragog?) in the second game was pretty hard as well.

Haha it's just the same for me. I keep all those potions, etc and in the end I never use them.
Paralyzing and Poisoning Voldemort was pretty much how to beat him (also using incendio in between).
And Aragog was indeed the hardest boss, but since I was already seriously overlevelled I beat it easilly.

In Skyward Sword I got my sword blessed by a reincarnated Goddess making it look exactly like the one in OoT (only overlooking the fact that this one is better rendered by the GPU) and I then proceeded to cut a parasite out of a flying whale.

In Wind Waker I got the mirror shield. Getting the key to the room where it's hidden, I couldn't get the latter to get out to come down for the life of me (either from above or from below) so the only way I could figure to get out was to save and restart at the entrance of the dungeon. I also have to mention that the toon rendition of the zombies I find to actually be more freakier than their OoT counterparts. Nothing seemed to hurt them, not even freezing them or lighting them on fire, and I couldn't do too much from up close without wearing them as a cursed backpack.
