I know I'm 400 years behind, but thanks to my girlfriend I'm playing the .Hack games on PS2. I'm almost done with part 3, and I just wanted to say that they are fun games. Laugh at me, for being so old in my gaming, I can handle it.

Joined in the Task Force 141 mission to free prisoner 6-4-7 from the Gulag. Turns out we just recovered a ghost from the first game. After that, it was off to Washington D.C. to cover evacuees from the invading troops. Did my part but still got killed for it. That's 2 PCs down so far.

Exteel:
Sonuva bitch.

I thought I kicked this addiction. I thought I kicked it very well. Then Tweezy comes along, says "hey, you want to play some Exteel?" and I begin to relapse. Then the next day he does it again, I play for three hours, and suddenly I'm pawning off my mom's TV for NCcoins.

It's not all bad. Apparently we'll be getting some new content in the next week (Though the date is a rumor, we know what we're getting), including a few new maps, new mechs, a new version of Last Stand (With a very large end boss, large compared to the already giant robots, I mean) as well as new Operators which can give you various bonuses. (Except for the current one, she just stands there looking pretty)

Well it's about damn time. We haven't had an update in, what, a year?
New Operators? But... I can't say no to Samus... I mean, Sarah.
LS with Bosses? What, Dudley doesn't count as a boss? Getting to him can be freakin' treacherous, what with his RPG-wielding goons.

Love the hell out of Exteel. I'll be checkin' out this new stuff when, or rather if, it arrives. Until then, my EXCLUSIVE CLOSED BETA BLUE PAINT mech will have to do.

And some patch notes for you.

The Duddly doesn't count as a boss because the Duddly doesn't move to try to kill you and your base.

Modern Warfare 2
Switched over to another Task force mission where the now-rescued captain led us in an assault on a Russian naval yard. AFter a difficult but fun mission where I got to have fun with predator missiles, the captain launched a nuke towards the US. Um... what?
The Nuke detonated over Washington DC, surprisingly being a good thing as the EMP caused it to rain Russian helicopters and Jets, saving the 2nd PC who I thought was already dead. Cool. Regrouped with the rest of the army to prepare for another assault while also putting up a signal to let the rest of the US army know not to frag the city.
Back to Russia where the task force split up, with my contingent attacking a possible safehouse for the mastermind of this. He wasn't there but we got some good data off is computer before racing through a forest to regroup with the US troops... who quickly shot us dead. Okay, now there's PC #3.

You work your nuts off every day
A Proud American all the way
Life's just a merciful blur
When you pop a Piswasser

Piswasser - this is Beer
Drive drunk off a pier
I love drinking all day long
Beat my girlfriend while I sing this song

Piswasser - Cheap German lager for export only.
Made no real progress, but goddamn, I love this game.

GAME.OVER!
After getting betrayed in Russia, switched to my troops in Afghanistan who were similarly betrayed but still alive. Raced to meet with my teammate while in the middle of a battle between the US army and the Russian Insurgents. After a difficult rush and a heart-racing drive, managed to drive onto an awaiting plane to escape.
MOved on to a secret desert base to confront our betrayer through intel from the russian insurgent we were originally fighting. Enemy of my enemy indeed... We were discovered and had to fight through some very pissed soldiers, surviving a self-destructing base. Our target kept evading us, ending in a boat-chase. After some rapids, dodging rocks, shooting down his helicopter, and going over a waterfall, we all somehow survived. My guy tried to kill him but got stabbed and could only watch as my friend continued the fight while I yanked the knife out of my gut and through it in his face.
Our friend rescued us and the game ended...

Wait, what? Over already? I'm not even talking time, I'm talking story closure. We killed the US general, got branded as wanted terrorists, and the actual terrorist is still alive? At least end the damn story instead of padding for a sequel.

You expect them to NOT keep milking this cash cow?

I expect an end to the story that was already laid out. the game got side-tracked 3 missions from the end and veered away from the actual story.

Dragon Age: Origins
EXploring the Deep roads, specifically Caridin's Cross and the Aeducan Thaig. Mostly just faffing about as I haven't hit any major story points but got lots of neat items and got to kill more darkspawn in this mission than in the 3 missions prior. Oghren's not talking to me but I'm guessing his conversation trees don't open up until I beat the Orzammar missions.
Took a break to return to camp, gave Morrigan a gift which got her to sleep with me but immediately caused some rocky relationships with the girl I was already sleeping with. Whoops... rather than be a man and sort this out, reloaded my savegame. On the bright side, the "Witch gone wild" achievement is only a gift away.

Either Way MW2 is pure awesome. I thought the campaign was far to short but it was still fun. I thought COD4 was more of a challenge on Veteran than this one was. I look forward to MW3. Now, just to prestige my guy in MP and get the stars in special ops....

Hey, when you do you get access to Mech Slot 3?

[Shadowman]

Hey, when you do you get access to Mech Slot 3?

Level 30, I think.

After looking that up, I now feel like an idiot; I don't get my third slot until level 46. Seems that, though I still rank up, I've got 10 levels ahead of me. At least I still get 25,000 credits and 15 inventory slots.

I played a bit the other day, and I finally see what the forums are so bitchy about. The lag was pretty rough. Hope they fix that, as lag is annoying as hell in this game. Warping around, not being able to use skills or shoot but for some reason STILL able to take damage/get killed... Pure crap.

Final Fantasy 4: The after years
After defeating Ramuh, Porom joined our party but was just as injured as her brother. She's staying in the ship for now. Moved on to Damcyan but was informed Edward had already left (see Edward's chapter) and that the castle was overrun by Antlion's. Edward's secretary Harley joined my crew to help find him. From there, went to Agart to find the city overrun by Monster's. Confronted the Mysterious girl but she just summoned Titan against us. Ack!
Titan tried to drop us into the underworld but Porom saved us with a float spell, though the effort made her collapse again. Defeated Titan and earned him as a summon again. Returned to Myst where the spirit in the fog coalesced and joined us, giving us the Mist Dragon summon.
Moved forward to Baron to find that the barrier from earlier is gone. Suddenly resumed the battle of Ceodore, Rosa, Edward, Cid, and Kain vs Cecil and the summon Odin. the summon refused to fight and knocked out Cecil. The mysterious girl got peeved and joined the fight, fragging my team immediately (4 of 5 characters dead with one spell). I think I need to grind some XP first.

Exteel:
UPDATE TIME!

I got myself three of the new operators, Violet (Who lets you see enemy HP bars) Tania (Who decreases the full-heal skill in Last Stand) and Piper (Who increases the speed at which health pads heal you...I guess...), and also Sarah, who doesn't have any abilities. (Outside of a killer pair of legs--rowr!) In short, I have a full set of bridge bunnies.

It was so hard not to include with word "bitches" in that statement.

I also tried the new last Stand and --Holy HELL that's cool. For starters, the pilot, Base Guards (The ones guarding your main aerogate) and your operator all occasionally talk. The pilot will throw out some smack talk to enemies whether you want him to or not, as well as banter with the base guards and the operator. it's actually kind of cool, though Tweezy doesn't like it. (But who cares what he thinks? He's a commie bastard) it also has a few new meters, such as how long until the next wave, and how many enemies are left in the wave. You now have three aerogates to defend, and enemies will often attack at least two per wave, likewise, they'll SHOOT at them to destroy them, rather than just stand there. Drones also got a recoloring, the main ones are now gray, but I'm not sure about the others...come to think of it, I don't think I ran into an insurgent...

And the bosses...oh my word, the bosses. Imagine a mech that you only come up to it's waist, and can take a beating like none other. Now imagine fighting no less than three per match.

Yeah, this update is good.

[1337W422102]

Goddamn it, Shadow, I have a paper to write tonight!
Oh well, I'll just have to let it update while I'm writing. And the rush the hell out of this paper for mech-based pwnage.

Also, the difficulty has been changed. There's now only three levels. Level 1 is about equal to LS Classic's Level 2, level 2 is similar to old LS's Level 3, and I imagine the new Level 3 is the same as the old level 5.

Also, on level 2 and 3 you have a limited number of respawns, once those are up, no matter what condition your aerogates are in, you lose.

[1337W422102]

Eff that crap. Let me guess, extra lives can be purchased for LOLNC-COINZ R/L$$$!!1eleven.
Did they remove Dudley and his "trench run" with his guard drones? Because with limited lives and fools running the Dud instead of deffing, I smell a lot of potential for fail.

Nope!

No, the Dudley is still there. Not a lot of people went for it in the matches I played, though, and I think it's because a lot of people don't know it's there.

And for the ultimate downside...only two maps are now playable in LS. Capitol Colony, and Arena. I assume they'll add more, though.

[1337W422102]

Oh, great. No more soloing LS1s on Defrosted Summit with a Pinkett to increase weapon proficiency percentage.

Knowing how often they update the game, I'm guessing it'll be a good while until the rest of the maps find their way into the game. Especially if they have to remake them now for the new mode.
