I just beat tomb raider a few mins ago. Now I know what y'all are thinking.
"Chavo, how in the world did you already beat it when you just started playing yesterday?!"
Well I'll tell ya.
I had a day off
It was raining outside
Nothing to do
Rented the game from redbox and didn't want to hold onto it to long
And then this happened...

SO ID SAY TODAY WAS AN INSANE AND GLORIOUS DAY FOR GAMING, AND I BID YOU ALL GOODNIGHT ;A;

You can´t beat my 16 Hours playing COD BO2.

Great achievement Though!

Started playing Friday the 13th on nes. Not the worst game ever. Truth be told it would probably be really easy if the controls weren't broken. Hate that it doesnt have a map for the caves/forest.

Reason I'm playing it is because I want to try and justify buying that jason figure at comic con that is based on the games jason.

I'm on a 9 day vacation back at my parents' house right now, so I decided that since my console game backlog is looking a lot cleaner now, this would be a perfect time to work on my handheld backlog. So as of Saturday evening and through this coming Tuesday, it's going to be handheld games only

For the first time, I started seriously playing the copy of Metroid Prime Pinball that I picked up a few months ago. So far, I've made it to the #1 spot on the in-game high score list at about 1.5 million points and 7 artifacts. Now, to actually beat the game...

Also, I've been playing Yoshi's Island DS, and intend to beat it before Yoshi's New Island comes out for the 3DS. I'm on World 2-4 (or 2-Fort, or however you say it so far. I don't particularly hate the game like a lot of people seem to, but it definitely feels like a step down from the original game in a few ways for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. But hey, at least it adds a bunch of new things, so I give the developers points for that.

Most importantly, my top-priority handheld game, Zelda: Oracle of Ages. I finally beat the 5th dungeon (that boss was tough). Now, to find out where to go next...

Today (or maybe over the last few days, not sure) I got in osu!:
Standard mode
-1 billion ranked score
-5000 total plays
-3 billion total score
-1 million hits

Taiko mode
-100 million ranked score
-1500 plays
-500 million total score

Also, I've been playing for more or less 6 months now. Milestones galore for some reason.

Today in gaming I finally got round to purchasing some of the DLC for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for my 3DS. A dozen of my favoured tracks to tide me over until next pay day when I'll probably buy the rest of them.

Took my 3DS for a walk when I went shopping earlier. I'm normally not fussed about exercise but those play coins let me get Nintendo goodies off the Nooklings and unlock stuff in Sonic Generations, so I've taken to walking further afield for my shopping to make sure I get all 10 for the day.

Aside from that it's been a bad day gaming wise. Got ninja'd at the last second on eBay as usual so I still don't own Rhythm Thief yet. But the night is young and my beloved isn't here tonight, so first order of business, pizza. Second order of business, put some real time in on Donkey Kong Country Returns. Bought it yesterday and I've hardly played it yet.

Played Mario Kart Wii online for like two hours. Had a blast.
Sister told me to find a game for her and all she gave me was a screenshot.Didn't recognize it and then she remembered it was called Circus Charlie. So going to play that when she gets home.

Just completely demolished the multi-mission high score list in my copy of Metroid Prime Pinball. Whereas my previous high score was about 1.5 million points with 7 artifacts collected, my new score is 3,687,910 points, with all 12 artifacts collected (and 3 specials), and both Thardus and the Omega Pirate defeated. Much to my surprise though, that didn't unlock any new boards... Guess I'm going to have to Google how to make progress in the game, so to speak.

Collect all Artifacts and activate the travel one final time; this is why it's a good idea to save one of the bosses for last (you won't be able to get all artifacts without beating them). You will be able to select Artifact Temple, which is a pretty hard minigame-ish thing. Complete that to fight Metroid Prime (who is hard as hell IIRC). My highscore is something like 6-7 million points with 6 artifacts and the game completed once or something like that. Once you beat Metroid Prime you'll be dumped back into one of the old areas with 0 artifacts.

Today I beat Megaman ZX Advent on Normal (apparently I never actually finished it) and beat the final boss of Fire Emblem Awakening. Ouroboros 3 :(

Just played some Pokémon Leaf Green lately. Restarted last monday (As part of my 'Collect them all on all games' challenge) and put a good 60 hours total in it.
Just have to evolve this Pupitar into Tyrranitar and Golbat into Crobat and I got all obtainable pokemon in this version.
Should take me another hour or 2 and then I can restart my Sapphire, which is the last gba pokemon game I had to restart.

In my challenge so far I completed Red, Blue and Yellow (all 151 on each game) and got all in-game pokémon in Ruby, Emerald and almost Leaf Green. After finishing Sapphire I'm going to start trading between versions.
Not going to do the same for the ds games 'cause I don't have all versions yet.
And still need batteries for my GSC versions

As my Raptr says in my sig, played on the orange box today! Managed to finish portal for the first time ever.
It
Was
So
Great.
I freaking loved it.
The dark humor was killing me throughout the whole game. And killing companion cube sucked ;-;
My goal as of right now, is to get all 99 achievements in the orange box.
So I'll be finishing up Portals achievements in the future. After that will be All the Half Life stuff (which will also be my first play through) and then Team Fortress 2.
My only issue will be the multiplayer achievements of TF2 :/

In FFVII - I was battling in the Battle Arena. Unlocked the special battles with Cloud by playing the normal battles enough to buy Omnislash and the W-Summon Materia.

The Prod Clod enemy at the end was really difficult. I thought I was going to be able to kill it after finishing the 7th battle of the series, and then all of my materia broke because of the handicaps imposed on the player. My Ultima sword was also broken as a result of the handicaps. I was doing 21-110 damage each turn. Not nearly enough to kill it, and I was forced to run as all of my damaging items like Grenade were already used up. I stood there taking the hits and slowly whittling Prod Clod's HP down, but I would have went through my x99 supply of x-potion and died before I could take it out.

I came back in after running away, and kept kicking his ass - about 9 more times. :D It was fun! Finally beat the dumb robot.

Big day in and out of the gaming world today. But let's keep it to the gaming only achievements for now.

- Forced Caedeus to run like a little wussy bitch again, but not before smashing the horns clean off his face and taking a chunk out of his tail and somehow missing with the Dragonator TWICE. I don't think that lightning bow (Arca Nula or something, the one made of bug parts with a lightning stat of 300) is strong enough to actually kill him in one run. Maybe if I didn't miss with the Dragonator and maybe used some of those underwater ballistae shots I have saved up? Either way, did well enough to get the last parts I needed for Ala Victoria, which is absolutely decimating everything. Even got my first Streetpass guild card swap today so I have a hunter I can hire at last.

- Went to Club LOL for the first time. Opened up this morning. Pity that none of the other villagers show any interest. Place was deader than a chemistry teacher's stag do.

- Fought tooth and nail to win more 3DS games on eBay but someone out there hates me today :(

EDIT: Almost forgot. I also put the final touches to my Final Fantasy 7 fanfic 'Finished Business' today. An alternate reality tale about a possible sequence of events had a key event in the series gone ever so slightly differently. Don't worry, it's a serious work, not one of those 'what if Cloud went to my high school' pieces of congealing arse gravy. Will be posting it on FanFiction.net in a few days but I can post it here chapter by chapter too if you guys want. Any takers? It's no 'Lord of the Rings' level classic that'll shake the literary world to its core, but I'm proud of it all the same.

Today I platinumed Demons Souls! Took me around 60hrs but I duped a few souls and got it on NG+++!
I don't think the game is harder than Dark Souls but the systems are harder to learn. In fact without internet I doubt anyone would platinum this game because of certain mechanics. I did Dark Souls in NG++. I think I enjoyed Dark Souls more but then I played it first.
The Souls series is easily my favorite this gen and I can't wait to get stuck into Dark Souls II.

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive

    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
