Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Played through 3 of the first four songs in the 2nd venue. Was planning to end this after only one song today, but got two bonus songs in a row. First a challenge match then an encore duet.

Doom 3:
BEATEN! Take THAT, Cyberdemon!

Makes you wonder why you just couldn't aim the soul cube down-south. Any guy, no matter how large, would drop to his knees after a hit like that.
You have any plans to play the Resurrection of Evil expansion?

When I still had my Xbox, I would always look for a copy every time I went to Blockbuster or EBgames.

made it to chapter 6 in ninja gaiden sigma

thats all i've had time for

[Shadowman]

Decided to try something different:

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow:
I didn't say very different? Apparently, if the undead is involved, I am a sucker for it.

Anyway, I'm not sure on the exact name for what I'm fighting, (Given that in SotN, what should have been called "Legion" was called "Granfaloon") but it might be either a Manticore, or a Chimera.

So far, I think I've been spoiled by Juste, Richter and Alucard's control schemes. Although Soma DOES control like your standard Post-Symphony character, he's much more sluggish than the others. Although, when you combine this with the fact that he takes several hits to take down ever the most basic enemies (Let's say, Zombies, or basic Skeletons), it shows that, unlike the Belmonts, or Alucard, Soma was never really combat-ready.

Super Paper Mario
Entered Count Bleck's fortress. Did a one-on-one battle between Bowser and O'chunks, only to lose bowser to a falling ceiling. Next level, played as Peach against mimi, lost them to a pit. I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to lose Luigi to Dimensio pretty soon.

I think the demo for Unreal Tournament 3 messed up my computer, making my other Unreal Engine games (UT2004 and Exteel) experience horrible graphical issues. Currently reinstalling them.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:
Finally got past Beelzebub. Then, after some monkeying-about in the regular castle (Ring of Arcana + Jewel Sword = WIN) I got the Alucard Mail and Alucard Shield. I'm pretty much set for life now.

Also, we had a bit of a Castlevania III Reunion Tour. Alucard, Trevor Belmont, Grant DeNasty, and Sypha Belnades all got together for...well, kicking each other's asses. Mostly Alucard vs. Everyone else. And I WON.

[Ninja Sixshot]

Mega Man Star Force: on the part where im supposed to be those 5 star force tester things. cant beat that one with that bomb virus, though.
Legend Of Zelda: well, i died. going to try some more.

[The Happy Locust]

Super Paper Mario
GAME.OVER!
Defeated count bleck and Dimensio and Luigi (you heard that right). With that, the power of the pure hearts cancelled out the Chaos heart and existence continues.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:
I've got every Relic except Rib of Vlad, and one other thing. (I think it might be the Dash ability)

The Alucard Shield/Shield Rod combo makes this game go by quickly.

[The Happy Locust]

Guitar Hero III
Cleared the video shoot and got an encore of a rolling stones song.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:
Got all the relics! The last one was the Holy Symbol (A snorkel) that lets me survive underwater. Working on getting 100% on the normal Castle.

[The Happy Locust]

Guitar Hero III
Completed the game on easy. Along the way I unlocked Tom MOrello, Slash, and Lou. I must say that the final battle song was freakin' priceless. Next up, medium.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:
Beaten! Only got the Good Ending. I might go back for the Best Ending later.

Richter Mode:
Just beat Slogra and Gaibon in the Alchemy Lab as Richter. (Hence the name "Richter Mode") It was hilariously easy. One Item Crash (Holy Water!), and then were down in one second.

[The Happy Locust]

Guitar Hero III
Continued working through on Medium. Unlocked Metalhead for use. Probably never going to use anyone else (until I unlock Lou ). nailing most of the medium level songs and just cleared the london tour. Next up, Shanker's Island.

I don't like having to do co-op to unlock other songs. I don't have any other friends with the wii version of this game yet. Here's hoping.

My fingers are killing me now. Doing the fret buttons has left my left hand's knuckles very sore. Hopefully this isn't early signs of arthritis. SUE GHIII FOR A BIG CASH SETTLEMENT! On second thought, nah. the fun is worth it.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:
Alucard Mode:
Otherwise known as the Main Game. I'm working on getting at least 196%, so I can get the Best ending.

Richter Mode:
Made it to where I would have fought the Succubus. Also, I want to have sex with the Succubus. (It's worth it!)

Maria Mode:
Once more, beat Slogra and Gaibon.

And here's a character comparison:

Alucard is an all-around character, he has pretty good strength and speed. Richter is a strait-up powerhouse, he's not very fast or agile, but he can take out pretty much anything in three shots or less. Maria, though, is a speed character, she's fast (About as fast as Richter's dash, if not faster) and she can jump pretty good, too. (Including a nice double-jump) Her super-jump isn't quite as good as Alucard's, but it's certainly more controllable than Richter's.

It's been a while guys, here's my latest feat:

Mega Man Zero 4 (GBA)
Redid it (the first try sucked) and finally finished the game in 3:47 '32, with all 4 sub tanks, all chips (except the lower level ones) via Gamefaqs (shoot me) and a level 6 Cyber Elf.
The parts that got me annoyed were finding the right parts for the chips and getting enough E-Crystals for my Elf. That and the final boss (I hate time limits), I was on the verge of defeat when I took a chance for that final hit. At least now I can properly start with Mega Man ZX

[The Happy Locust]

Guitar Hero III
Cleared Shankers Island and beat Slash on Medium. Up to the Desert tour. Played Black Magic woman repeatedly trying to get that 5-star rating but to no avail. 4 star seems to be my max, which is odd because that's not a hard song.

[Gutter Bunny]

Cleared ch11 in Ninja gaiden sigma
almost to where i was when my ps3 died...

[The Happy Locust]

Guitar Hero III
Cleared the desert tour and the Japanese tour. Doing good so far. My medium skills are 5-star. I fear what Hard leaves for me. But first, the battle for my soul.
Unlocked Lou through the store.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Mega Man ZX (DS)
Cleared the first 4 missions and reached a pinnacle point: I can now choose from the first 4 missions resulting in a Biometal. I bet once I finish 4 of the total 8 I'll get one of those emergency missions like in the Zero games. But for now, I'll do some exploring and searching for disks before I tackle Hivolt the Raptoroid in the Power Plant.

[Gutter Bunny]

woot NGS: normal mode clear

rank 86xx
hard mode unlocked
no more spandex

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Metroid Prime Hunters (DS)
Saved right before the boss of Alinos. Managed to beat that weird eyeball and start yet another countdown sequence. Don't you just hate those? To make matters worse, when I was well underway I was ambushed by the Hunter Weavel. Had to fight him and keep him from stealing my two Octoliths, but lost.

*sigh* Good thing I saved...

[The Happy Locust]

Guitar Hero III
Completed career on Medium. So far I'm all 5 stars except for Metalica's "the one" (those riffs at the end are killer) and that Slayer song.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Megaman ZX
Beat Hivolt and acquired Model H with a Lv. 2 Victory. I have to say, making hitting the weak spot less enticing was a good move of Inti Creates and Capcom (more damage via weak spot = smaller energy bar for Biometal = more repairs). O well. Next up, Fistleo the Predatoroid.
