Started the fantastic PS2 emulator PCSX2 up again, after litterally putting it on hold 1 year. Now busy with Jak & Daxter: Precursors Legacy. Looking and playing good, really enjoying it!

I beat VVVVVV for 3DS today, in about 3 hours and over 1400 deaths. It was one of those really amazing games that I was sad to beat cuz it's a true work of genius. However, I had only collected 13 of the 20 trinkets, so I started exploring again. Another hundred deaths later, I have 2 more trinkets. Going to probably keep playing off and on until I get all of them.

Update: Collected all 20 trinkets and unlocked the secret lab. 1900+ total deaths. I think I'm going to take a little break from this game, now. Amazing that there's still so many modes and stuff to do, even though I've completed the main game.

I'm up to the point of the story in ac3 where you have to deal with Pitcairn. And to be honest, I think this is my least favorite Assassin's Creed game. The controls are horrendous and I find Connor running and climbing where I'm not telling him too. And the optional objectives, holy fuck. Wanna feel like a failure even if you beat a game? Play this game. Some of the objectives are down right impossible and annoying without sheer dumb luck.

Sadly, I think Assassin's Creed 2 is the best AC game. Hell I had more fun with AC1 than I am with AC3 to be honest. I mean so far the story hasn't really spoken about the Assassin's or Templars, it's just mainly about the American Revolution. Which is okay, but this is an AC game. I'm at the point in the game where I'm just rushing through it because there are so many things wrong with this game it's ruining it for me.

I'm still playing Trails in the Sky. :wacko: Thankfully I'm on the final chapter so it's almost over.

I'm planning on finishing Strange Journey afterwards then either starting SMT: Digital Devil Saga or Final Fantasy XII: International Version.

Today I got around to finally finishing Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I started over from scratch, but I was feeling ballsy and I decided to play hard mode from the start. That was the right choice. The challenge was refreshing and I felt good kicking ass. The only problem I have is the fact that I'm a reset whore. I cannot stand characters dying. In the end though, 2 people died on the endgame chapter. By that time I was just fed up with re-doing levels, so the words "fuck it" came to mind for the first time. Dain was a bitch to kill. I had almost run out of heals when my Aether activated and Ike and Tibarn double teamed him. I've never had my adrenaline pumping so hard since my Battle Network series perfect final boss runs.


Now on to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Once I beat it, I'm doing a maniac run. Oh God, my masochism is showing again. :/

I've kinda been thrown off by the whole hacked website thing so I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I was actually rather busy these last couple weeks, too, so I didn't get too much time to play so there's probably not much else to report.

ANYWAY

In Super Mario Galaxy 3 I got two more stars. I'm still on my effort to get every star available out of each galaxy before moving on to the next (always going back for comets, too) and I now have three galaxies completed (little crown symbol) past the final fight with Bowser.

Opened up another room in the hidden mansion in Luigi's Mansion (My wife then proceeded to open up several more.)

In Skyward Sword I got into the Lanayru Refineries. It was a little hard to find the water generator where the other two are kinda easily marked on the map. It seemed a little silly to just constantly walk around with my tracker out but when I did it was either out of range or it happened to be lined up with one of the others so I couldn't tell where it was. Finally found it though.

Unlocked another championship in Burnout 2.

I got two more stars in the first Mario Galaxy last night before going to bed. I also cheated a little on my plan to not move on until getting all available stars by going straight to the final battle with Bowser (which has been available to me for a while now.) I beat him but made sure to turn it off before it would get to the part where it saved.

I died a lot on the 5th world of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. Seriously, this game is a fucking bitch.

Why bother turning off before saving? Do you get something special for beating it the first time with all stars?
