What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

[weavile001]

Reached Chapter 4 on Borderlands 2, the game is pretty hard sometimes IMO.

Got 115k coins in Coin rush today.

 

[Taleweaver]

I managed to drain my paypal account on the summer steam sales. Does that count?

Also: I played through hotline miami. Fun game, but...man, talk about it being fucked up.


And also Gears of war (yes, I'm late...sue me). It was more fun than I thought it would be. The story and characters are pretty weak, though.


EDIT: almost forgot: I also beat Oracle of ages yesterday (xperia play + emulator + train commutes = awesome ).

Speaking of Metroid Prime, I found the Ice Beam just this morning. And my log entries are up from 62% to 66%. And I got another missile expansion and an energy tank. I'd been wandering around for about two days trying to find either the grappling hook or the other special missile launcher. Now all I have to do is go back to Phendrana Drifts and open some white doors. On top of that, though, I've got all my heroes in Chrono Trigger from levels 85 to 82. I'm going all the way to 99 before I do the Lavos ship; it's just easier that way. Finally, I upgraded Nightcrawler to level 11, making him the fourth hero to be at level 11 in Avenger's Alliance. I'm still trying to get through Super Mario Sunshine too; haven't had much luck with it lately though...

Finish GTA CW 100%.

Since I don't bother with NEW games anymore, the emu's are my fun now. I'll occasionally dig through my giant box of old PC games and install and play those sometimes. Amazing how many of those old CDR's now appear to be blank. Gee, such quality, eh? At least the originals still work. Yeah....anyway.....I'm mostly about emus now.

A couple years ago, I bought this 64bit quad core (+ 4 virtual cores, whatever that means, heh) Intel I7 laptop with a 1TB HD to basically replace the old single core desktop I was always playing on. Most emu's slid right over without issue, some I can run right out of our NAS system, but some needed work to get them back up to snuff or to make them work again.

So I've been updating all my emulators to the latest versions over the last couple weeks when I have time. Had an ancient half-assed version of MAME that I wiped out completely and fully refreshed everything to 149 MAMEUI 64bit. Still working on getting together the few remaining CHD files that are worth bothering with, but other than that, it's essentially complete. Man, that 64bit version rocks compared to the old 32bit version. Zippity-freakin-doo-dah!

Checked SNES9x and discovered there's a 64bit version of the emu, so went to that, though I left the 32bit version intact, just in case. Had a full romset on this one for ages.

As for the old NES......had that going for years too. Full romset, works and never encountered any games that didn't work beyond maybe a graphical glitch. I don't even rem what particular emu I'm using for it anymore (just looked, heh, not sure anymore, multiple .exe's, LOL. I think it might be Nestopia) because I've never had issues with it whenever I went to play an NES game.

Kega Fusion (Genesis emu) I found to be only one version behind and so I updated it. I have full romsets for Genesis and 32X cartridge stuff, but only the better SegaCD stuff. I guess I'm weird, but I actually like and often play many of those old SegaCD games.....grainy video and all. Maybe I'll hunt down the Master System and Gamegear stuff, since Fusion supports it, but the Master System never impressed me and I tend not to emulate handhelds on a PC. So meh.

Discovered a good working 3DO emulator that actually plays Crash'N'Burn and doesn't just loop the previews over and over (www.fourdo.com) and also the best version of Road Rash ever created (IMO) plays at full speed. Compatibility isn't perfect, but it plays 99% of the games I cared about for the 3DO and it's still being worked on.

ePSXe......well, anyone who's messed with this emu knows, you need to have multiple versions of that emu to be able to play certain various games. I have 3 versions I switch between for compatibility. PS1 was the last physical console I ever owned.

C64.....ah, the C64 was an old friend for many years beyond its original lifetime for me. I played so many RPG's on the C64 that I burnt myself out on them. Haven't really been able to get into RPG's ever since.
Back in the day, I had almost every bit of hardware that existed for the C64's. The only thing I never had was the hard drive unit for it. If I remember correctly, it came in 20 or 40 MEG editions. LOL. Anyway, all emulated now.

I've dabbled in many other emu's, but those are my main favorites. Today, I am finally done updating the faves. Time to look into others.

My Neo-Geo emu didn't survive the transition from WinXP 32bit to Win7 64bit, kinda forgot about it actually, just remembered while writing this. So I should hunt up a new emu for that. Maybe I'll try to accomplish that next. Even though MAME basically covers Neo-Geo, I'd still like a nice self-contained emu for Neo-Geo for easier transfers between computers, because MAME is huge, like 75+GB's big as it stands now. So by far, getting the entire romset for MAME 149 was today's epic achievement, a few remaining CHD's notwithstanding.




TL;DR
Been polishing up the emulators. Finished building a full MAME 149 romset today. Updated some other emu's.

Managed to get to the final stage with 1 credit in Donpachi today.
So close to that 1cc >.<

Just Got Animal Crossing New Leaf in the mail and its been an experience if i dont say so myself. Forcing myself not to skip days.

 

[BlackWizzard17]

I made it to round 23 in black ops: call of the dead map just to do the Easter egg
I leveled up in Mario and luigi super star saga
I bust the CPUs ass in Dr.Robotniks Mean Bean Machine.

I made it to round 23 in black ops: call of the dead map just to do the Easter egg.

That easter egg was hard as hell, i had to do lot of freakin´shit....
but 23 rounds still is pretty good, what were your weapons, and your strategy?

 

[Maxternal]

I downloaded all the demos available in the Wii shop channel (51 of them) onto my SD card

EDIT : I'm not exactly a big Wii channel shopper so I came across some interesting download animations.

There were the ones I had previously seen (apparently the most common) :
- little mario
- big mario
- fire mario (which I now discovered you can make throw fire balls while downloading by pressing A)

... and a couple that I had NOT seen before ... and I think only came out once each n:
- small Luigi
- small Luigi AND small Mario swimming together. (They don't actually get any of the coins from the ground and take turns hitting the 3rd block)

Well I like to run in circles by the ak74u and I could have got higher but to really get alot of point i did a glitch by the door next to the ak74u so the zombies pile up. I could have done it in early rounds but the box didn't wanna give me the VR11, from round 19 and on ward I had the 115 Resinatir(rpk) the portors x2 ray gun and scavenger pack o punch

 

[xwatchmanx]

I beat Kirby Super Star* for the second or third time, on co-op with my girlfriend (this was her first time playing through the game). Great Cave Offensive and Milky Way Wishes were completed with all treasures and copy essences collected 100%. We didn't do the Arena, but may do it pretty soon.

*The original SNES version, via Kirby's Dream Collection. if you include playthroughs of Super Star Ultra, I've beaten the game 4 or 5 times.

Well, my strategy is running around the starting point between the M14 /Olimpia and the Quick Revive.
my favorite gun is Python, but i almost always end up with a d115 dissasembler(Dragunov) and AUG5OME(AUG)...

Yeah I do that but it's kind of hard because when there's zombies infront and behind me I panic a little. I also killed George twice what a pain that was almost all my ammo ~gone~

you just have to waste all your PaP´ed Scavenger ammo on his head, if he´s not dead yet, just shoot with your ray gun or something.
and i Almost panic when EVERY teammate is down.

I almost ran out of raygun ammo and scavengerammo because the round started, I didn't even get down once till then and I raged quit.
