yep.

I just sat at my computer staring at the screen for a little while after the credits rolled.

Now that it's over, though, I can move on to other things. Like Hitman Absolution! my early birthday gift from my aunt and uncle.
I'm horrible at stealth games in general, but the variety of ways you can carry out a hit is amazing.

I've been playing a few things lately. I've been super-sick so a lot of bed and videogame rest has been had.

-Lego Batman - My girlfriend and I are just cleaning up. We're at about 90% completion...just a few minikits and unlockables to find and we've beaten it!

-The Pinball Arcade - I've been put onto this as a good simulator of actual pinball tables. Kinda splurged on a few of the DLC packs and yeah. Lots of Pinball! Arabian Nights is a jerk! (So is Taxi).

-Modnation Racers - The single player of this is making me swear like 50 cent on a bad day. So much fun though. Working on making a good track, too.

-Ratchet and Clank Trilogy HD - Playing through the first game. The game improved in the sequels a lot. Also see previous comment about swearing and triple it.

-Pokemon White 2 - Beaten the Elite 4, now doing post game stuff and catching those buggers.

-Scribblenauts Unlimited - It's scribblenauts, but I can type using a keyboard! What's NOT to like?

Sometimes I like to think of myself as someone who "doesn't game" but the reality is we are perpetually gaming. In true "noughties" fashion, our gaming is about enjoying the bad, the obscure and the old, quite frequently all at once.



Lately, when I haven't been spending late nights with Nicole ridiculing SMW hacks, though, I've been amusing myself by replaying Super Mario Sunshine and I've been going through lists of Game Boy games to scope out the weirdest games I can find. The Game Boy was a platform for crappy platformers and you have a lot of really strange simple games like Barbie: Game Girl which feature a lot of enemies that don't make sense but probably get an "explanation" in the manual. It's pretty sweet and with my friend getting me a limited edition Emerald Game Boy Pocket this Christmas, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be playing a lot of these.

Learning Japanese the hard way. No, really.

The awesome music makes it at least fine to interrupt everything while I try to understand the dialogue with the aid of a dictionary... It's going better than I thought.

So in Pokemon White 2, my level 52 Starmie soloed the level 55 White Kyurem. He also crushed half of the Elite 4 and Champion's pokemon on his own, though by then he was at a slightly higher level.

There's a lesson to take from this: You're not Red Squadron, don't fuck with the Death Starmie. Keep in mind this is gonna get a bit long; I'm gonna put a line at the end in green so you know when to stop scrolling past my rambling

Team:
Cyan/Altaria-M @Silk Scarf
Cloud Nine (negate weather)
Fly/Dragon Pulse/Dragon Dance/Return
Didn't do much against the Elite 4 beyond die and stall for time. Disappointing, really, but he was underlevelled and missing half his moveset. Should have Dragon Claw and something less shitty than Fly.

Zeppla/Drifblim-F @Chesto Berry
Unburden (+Speed when held item used)
Rest/Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt/... I forget.
Fourth move should be Calm Mind, but I couldn't get the TM before the Elite 4.

Nazca/Sigilyph-M @Scope Lens
Tinted Lens (I know Magic Guard's more useful, but Nazca was part of my team from the beginning via Dream Radar, and doing well enough that it just didn't feel right to switch)
Air Slash/Psychic/Signal Beam/Ice Beam
Instrumental to my victory. All of my victories. Ridiculous type coverage and enough power not to need boosts. Scope Lens dates back to an earlier time in his moveset when he had something with a boosted crit rate. Intending to switch that for a Life Orb.

King/Serperior-M @Miracle Seed
Overgrow
Leaf Blade/Leech Seed/Dragon Tail/Coil
Got tired of healing at the Plasma Frigate. Spammed Coil until Leech Seed's healing was outdoing enemy damage and steamrolled. He's good at that.

Sienar/Starmie @Mystic Water
Analytic (+30% damage when attacking last)
Recover/Surf/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam
Classic moveset. Analytic is a poor choice with his speed, but a nasty surprise when it does trigger. Wasn't worth hunting one with Natural Cure, anyway.

Hopper/Galvantula-M @Rocky Helmet
Compoundeyes (Boosted Accuracy)
Thunder/Signal Beam/Thunder Wave/Giga Drain
Awesome little bug. 91% accuracy on Thunder? Fuck yes.

Game-long MVPs? Nazca, Hopper, Sienar, in order. I didn't get Sienar until pretty late, or he'd probably rank higher. Zeppla was much more useful in the early game, but her offensive power started to fall off later on; I expect this to reverse when she gets Calm Mind. King went the opposite; his early-game power was pretty bad, but that picked up significantly with Leaf Blade and Coil. Cyan was an unbelievable tank as a Swablu with Eviolite; nothing dropped that little cotton bird. Not even electricity.


Alright, I'm done now.

I found a very hidden 1up balloon in Radical highway while playing SA2B. To get to it once you get to the part with the multiple springs in the pipe-thing (after a loop) you have to do a massive leap round the right side of the pipe and hope you land on it.

Finally started playing Arkham City after getting it free as my dad is a PS+ member. Such an improvement over an already amazing game, though, I'm thinking that starting a new game this close to my exams is probably going to have a detrimental effect. Ah, well.

I've actually started to knock a few games off my backlog this week. I just finished Sleeping Dogs tonight, The Walking Dead last weekend, and I'm hoping to blast through Quantum Conundrum over the course of tomorrow. Theeeen Hitman Absolution, and Dishonored. Well, probably.

Finally got the last elusive S-rank in Sonic Generations by cutting a full minute off my Planet Wisp Act 2 time.

Not counting challenges. 45/45 and 44/45 of them complete, several S ranks but not all - but fuck Vector's Rooftop Run challenge. Fuck that and fuck you Sega.

Well, I beat Arkham City, aside from the final post-credits Catwoman bit. So there goes that whole detrimental effect.

I didn't know that the Catwoman bits weren't part of the main game. They fit so well.

I've just played Pandora's Tower for the Wii. Its actually quite a good game, may even be able to be called a hidden gem. I recommend you look it up.

Sonic Adventure 2

I though Sonic 06 was bad. It is, but Sonic Adventure 2 sure does have a lot of bullshit itself.

After 12 years of it being out and a couple of years of actually having the physical cart, I've finally started Majora's Mask! I'd played it before, but never got far past Woodfall. Now I'm up to Snowhead. I've got the Bremen, Scents, Deku and Goron masks. I haven't bothered with most of the sidequests yet; I figure I'll beat the temples once, then go around and pick up the missing masks. Certainly not the most efficient route, but it's not like I'll let the moon crash.

I'm really seeing how it can be considered an improvement to OoT; everything looks so much more better and more detailed, thanks to that 4MB expansion. The colours are also really vibrant. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a bit of lag at times. I'm not really that bothered; it's a whole new land to explore. It'll never beat OoT for me, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far.

Next I'll see if I can beat Snowhead Temple before having to go back to the Dawn of the First Day.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

What a stellar game. Absolutely breathtaking tracks with a load of personality in each one. It is like they took everything they did in the first game, said to themselves "Let's improve EVERYTHING" and did just that. I can't get over some of these tracks.

Grabbed a bunch of masks; Post Man's Hat, Kamaro's Mask, Blast Mask, Keaton Mask, Great Fairy's Mask and Kafei Mask. I did a good chunk of the Snowhead Temple, but now I'm contemplating going back to the Dawn of the First Day before beating the Temple so I can turn in my sword to get the Razor Sword, beat the Goron Races and get the Gilded Sword in one fell swoop.

I also made the mistake of buying Tetris from the 3DS store. Yeah... I'll be back in about a month.

I... may or may not have gone on an App Store binge for my Touch.

And I may or may not have sunk my teeth deep into Angry Birds last night.

Snowhead beaten, Enhanced Magic Meter gained, Gilded Sword earned. Got the Don Gero's Mask, third bottle, Romani's Mask, Bunny Hood and the Stone Mask! I'm gonna collect a bunch of items before moving on to the Great Bay Temple.
