[The Happy Locust]

Rage
Survived the Mutant Bash TV show and won the right to compete in a racing competition. Got a new car for my trouble and used it to deliver goods to a remote settlement.
Collected a feltrite sample from the mutants, delivered it to a scientist who studied it. While he was studying, I went to the city to find a defibrilator upgrade. Upgrade found, but only after beating a 4 story mutant behemoth using a newly obtained rocket launcher.

Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
Finally picked this up on sale. I have DA2 but figured I'd play this first; both to fill in any story points that DA2 may import and also to refresh my memory of DA:o playstyle so I can fairly compare to DA2.
Arrived at my new base to find it overrun with Darkspawn. Fought my way in alongside my guide and ran into an apostate mage and an old Friend from the first game. Found a talking darkspawn and killed it.
Needing to renew the Grey Warden ranks, we held an initiation ceremony. 2 of 3 survived the fraternity hazing. Worst part is I lost my tank character. My warriors are both DPS spec (damage dealers) and my mage is pulling double duty as healer and destroyer.

Well, a few weeks ago I did a quest called "The Cursed Tribe", the one were you get Volendrung. I didn't know you were supposed to get it from that quest, and the hammer didn't appear. I found out about it yesterday, and I went back to the alter to check yesterday, and it was nowhere to be found.

I also checked giant's cove, to no luck. People have suggested going back and looking right behind the alter, but Iv'e searched that place very thoroughly, and It wasnt there. this really sucks, is there a way to fix this? Did it go through the alter or something? Any help would be nice.

Sonic Unleashed (Wii)
Been a while since I last played this, give it a rest after not being able to pass Adabat Night Stage IV. Stupid Nightmares...

Good news tho, I made it, thanks to me being unfair and attacking them in the back After that it was Shamar's turn for Night Stages, which wasn't that bad, except for the dog spitting heavy weights. And the Dark Guardian was a pushover.

My fifth continent restored, I'm off to Adabat again for the Day Stage and Missions.

It's Bethesda. If you don't run into a bug, then it doesn't really count as one of their games. You should see Oblivion; on a technical level, it's probably one of the worst games ever made. On an actual level, it's probably one of the best games ever made. It's not even "So Bad It's Good" it's just bad, except good.

I don't get it either.

I know what you mean. Every time I run into a bug, I can usually be forgiving, and excuse it, since the game itself is so good. This particular one does affect me slightly more than the others though. Its Volendrung after all. Oh well.

Hey, what house is better? the one in Solitude? Or the one were the Butcher killed all of his victims (Not that it would matter, mind you, because that particular quest is also bugged)

I went to look it up, since I know the one in Solitude is probably the better one, but I still wanted to check. Instead, I ran into an interesting article, and it seems the best house of all is the one you'll be able to make yourself.

Mass Effect 3:
Doing my planned second playthrough, with my Femshep. Picked up the DLC for Javik, the Prothean who is always better than you.

[BeastProwl]

Yeah, Ive known about Hearthfire for a few days now, but I cant do that until I get wireless, so Solitude it is.

[Wigglez]

I have never played Jak and Daxter for PS2 but now I'm going through the HD remake.

Jak and Daxter
I beat the game in one sitting, and got all of the trophies including the platinum in just one play through. Meaning I got all of the flies, all of the precursor orbs and all of the power cells. I one hundred percented the game the first try. I feel achieved.

Jak 2
I started this game as well but I don't plan on beating it in one sitting. I need to let my PS3 rest. But I just made friends with Krew and I got the shotgun. Jak 2 is playing alot different than J&D.

F*ck yeah! Jak 2 is amazing, but you just wait, Jak 3, **** hits the fan.

Skyrim
Joined the Thieve's guild finally, and boy, are these missions fun! I played for about 4 hours longer than I had intended to. I can almost smell that sweet, sweet, nightengale armor. Also, I spent all the gold I had on that house in solitude. It'll take some doing, but I'll eventually fully upgrade it.

You talk mostly about getting armor. Are you collecting them or something?

The Nightingale armor is a really great set of Light Armor. Also it looks really, really cool.

Mass Effect 3:
Just brought peace between the Quarians and Geth. I also bought and beat the Leviathan DLC. That was actually really cool, very Lovecraftian. I also came to the realization that anyone who complains about the endings all being the same is, as of the release of Extended Cut, an idiot who is not worth listening to.

[BeastProwl]

Actually, yes. I do collect armor.

I happen to be fond of the way this armor looks as apposed to alot of the other armor types.

But what made me want it the most, was this:

"When combined with a high light armor skill and perks, a high smithing skill, fortify smithing potions and enchanted smithing apparel this can easily exceed 567 armor rating (which is 80% damage reduction, the maximum damage reduction from armor available)."

From The Elder Scrolls Wiki

I also found a full set of Falmor Armor. It looks awesome, and suits my character well. Well, except the helmet, I can do without the helmet. I think its just the way that armor looks. I only wear it because I can. Otherwise, in a situation that might get hairy, I always use Daedric Armor.

[Wigglez]

That armor looks damn fine. And the peace between the Quarians and the Geth was bound to happen. Have you done the loyalty mission for Tali with Legion on your team in ME2? It goes alot more bumpier than if he was left on the Normandy.

Not my first playthrough, but I do know how things can go. And yeah, resolving the argument between Tali and Legion without taking a side helps peace. Along with proving Tali innocent without proving her father guilty, as well as, for whatever reason, destroying the Geth base during Legion's loyalty mission.

People were mad that the ending of Mass Effect 3 didn't reflect choices you made in the last two games. These people are too dumb to notice the entire game reflects choices you made in the last two games. And that the ending of all three games doesn't reflect the choices you made throughout them. (Or am I to assume it was Ashley who blew up the Collector base?)

[BeastProwl]

I Just beat Bayonetta again. Jeez, has anyone else here actually played this game?

Because it has the #1 over the top ending of any video game I have ever played.

To sum up the ending, basically, You are a witch, riding up a missle...on a motorcycle into space, leaping off asteroids...to go punch god in the face.

Just Cause 2 involves having a gunfight...while hopping around four ICBMs while they're in flight, disabling each one while trading shots with the villain. The final one you strap the villain to, and let it go off. Just Cause 2 is Michael Bay the Video Game. The whole point is to find something that hasn't exploded, and then make it explode. And things will explode, for, like, no reason.

And Bayonetta...eh, it's just DMC except they're trying too hard with the fanservice. She's not even that hot.

God Of War
Some guy told me to go up to the throne room on Olympus and hit one of the two decorative statues about 400 times, and I would get an easter egg. I thought it was BS and I couldnt get it to work, becase I got bored and quit. Lo behold, I looked it up on youtube, and, well.

Does the number still work?
If not, this is what it says:

Sonic Unleashed
Cleared the Adabat Day Stage plus its Missions, and destroyed the Egg Lancer boss (funnily enough, it uses leftover parts from the Egg Beetle and Egg Devil Ray). That one took a while, because I didn't realize I needed to use the Boost to damage it.

Now the way to Eggmanland is clear. And the Day Stage is a doozy.

DC Universe Online

I haven't played in a couple of weeks because my PS3 is far from my wireless router and I'm not about to bring it in the living room just so I can play my PS3 when everybody's sleeping. But I got level 30 armor from a vendor in the Watchtower. It's not designed after a certain character though. It's from a certain vendor that's like on the bottom floor away from the heroes. Now I need to keep doing missions so I can keep getting Marks of Triumph.

You didn't get it in the Reactor, did you? That's PvP armor, and the way stats work, PvP armor sucks for PvE combat. And vice versa. Basically, the Toughness stat dictates how much damage you can absorb from enemy players, while the Defense stat dictates how much damage you can absorb from enemy NPCs. Unless you spent the Marks of Triumph on the armor sets sold in the Wings themselves (Zonewalker or Star EX, for instance) because those are actually good for PvE to start with.

my tip for you is to skip Marks of Triumph entirely. Head to Gotham, and join up with a group looking for people for Sub Avatars, being sure to pick up the South Gotham Dailies (it's in the back of the Meta Wing in the watchtower, right next to a teleporter that takes you directly to Gotham) so you can get Marks of Distinction. Sub Avatars drop Level 52 gear, while Marks of Distinction get you level 56 gear.

HλLF-LIFE 2

Finished Highway 17, got the rpg, had an epic semi-boss fight, then went to Sandtraps which began with a creepy zombie encounter, i lost my buggy, but had more mini boss fights, i had trouble going through this one when every time i step on the sands an Antlion jumps on me, with me desperately attempting to Crowbar them, soon i was faced with a real boss fight against a giant Antlion with lesser Antlions helping him, it was really a mega-man like boss fight, with a strong version of that levels enemies with the normal ones helping him, awesome stuff...

I got the pherephod or whatever how it's spelled, and now i have a mobile army on antlions, sadly the max of antilons under my command is 4-5 and when one dies someone comes and replace him but i wish had dozens of Antilons fighting under my command

Anyway, i reached nova proskpekt and played most of it, but i decided to take a rest...

[BeastProwl]

Skyrim
Got the Nightengale armor, among a few other things.
Byjor-f*ck it, That one guy says that he wants me to be Guildmaster when all is said and done. I cant wait, because the benefits should be pretty good, right?

I mean, I have to restore the guild first, but AFTER that

Ive got several bounties on my head since joining the thieves guild, but here's the funny thing. I only joined originally just to get the armor. But now that Ive experienced it, Ive grown to care about these characters too.

Alot more than most others in the game actually. They seem to have alot more personality, and they have seen hard times, and it shows. Ive gotten a taste for debauchery, and I think Iv'e found my home for now.

After finishing up everything here though, Im going off to the Dark Brotherhood to do some of their quests. I'm getting really good at being bad

[The Happy Locust]

XenoBlade Chronicles
Mostly wandering around Sartorl swamp running sidequests for the nopon merchants. Found the way out but it requires an obtuse puzzle. 2 of my crew returned to aid the refugees so it's just my crew of 4 for the time being.


Dragon Age origins: Awakening
Put some good time into this. Mostly hit Amaranthine, working the side missions. Cleared out some apostates, tracked down a missing husband (he didn't move much after I found him), and cleared out a smuggler's den. Looked through a missing wardens stuff and opened up 2 other areas to explore.
Returned home and had some fun conversations. Oghren drunkenly feared predators that looked like pants. Anders nearly wet himself when I gave him a kitten (which he named Ser Pounce-a-lot"
Hit the Wending woods and was nearly overwhelmed by bandits. Was then attacked by a Dalish elf with Tree powers. Tracked her down and found that the Darkspawn had tricked her into thinking humans killed her sister. Convinced her of the mistake and now she's part of my team. I now have 2 mages. She's my AoE damaged dealer and Anders will switch-hit as damage dealer and Healer. Turning Oghren into my Guardian (protection warrior) until I get a new tank.

Rage
After the dead city, spent some time in the races to upgrade my car. Found out about bandits attempting to poison wellspring's water supply. headed to the sewers and cleared them out, obtaining their poison. Took it to the good Dr outside of town who converted it into a new weapon. Through both missions, I now have electro-bolts and mind-control bolts.

[Twitchythe3rd]

Red Dead Redemption

Broke in a new cream-colored horse because my first one got shot. After that, started doing missions for Seth (the crazy guy who digs up graves).

Also, i've been...... regulating the deer population.

[The Happy Locust]

rage
Cleared out some more races. Nearly have enough tickets to max out my Cuprino.
Was sent to rescue the resistance leader from an authority Prison. Fought my way in, freed him, and fought my way out. He then sent me to retrieve a data drive from my ARK unit (where I started the game). Went home, blew up Authority forces, went back. I'm now being sent on one last mission in this region. Getting sent back to the... dramatic pause... DEAD CITY!
On a side mission, re-invaded a bandit bunker to get the advanced RC bomb car upgrade.
