Doom 3:
Administration. Will I get the almighty Banhammer while I'm here? Experts say, no I will not. (I'm the expert on that)

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
Found some evidence both for and against Edgey. Also, it's Christmas. Larry is dressed as Santa.

Crysis
Made it through the KPA checkpoint and managed to download intel from an enemy computer. Reached the rendevouz point, where we found, among other things, a boat on a mountain, a flash-frozen forest, and a tentacled walker thingy that nabbed one of my guys.

StarTropsics
Completed the first underground tunnel, destroying a giant nautilus and a floating Moa head. Still haven't located Dr. J. Only choice now is to go deeper into the tunnel.

Super LUIGI Galaxy
putting some time into the playthrough as Luigi. Completed the first dome and got another Grand Star. Totalling 11 stars.

Holy Excrement of Jésus! So much has changed! New weapons, new maps, hell, even the "The Enemy is attempting to neutralize our Aerogates!" chick voice is different!

Leveled up to Level 14. I also got new arms for my Frontliner.

Leveled up to Level 14. I also got new arms for my Frontliner.

I can't play the game any more. After every match, once I see the endgame scoreboard screen, it doesn't bring me back to the lobby. It just shows me a black screen with the in-game cursor. I can't exit the game, I can't bring up the menu, I can't Alt-Tab out, I can't Alt-F4, I can't Log Out of Windows and log back in. I have to hardboot. Total BS.

Call of Duty 4
Successfully raided a bunker where al-asad was hiding. Nope. not there.
Okay, plan B. Raid the TV station where he's broadcasting. After destroying at least triple-digits in insurgents, made it to the broadcast booth. Nope, not there either. But at least one of my soldiers got to broadcast rap songs to the entire country while we try not to look embarrassed by our less-than-accurate intelligence info. Moving on.

Very strange, very strange.

Exteel:
For $20 in real life, you can buy 2000 NC Coins. For 2000 NC Coins, you can buy two full mechs, plus new weapons, boosters, repair points, and skill for both. Which is what I did.

Currently, I'm a Lvl 15 Staff Sergeant. My mechs are:

Jaywalker (420 NCcoins!)
Two Planet Eagle-Ds (Better than any other Planet Eagle)
My good ol' fashion Blitz Rocket Launcher-C
Sonic Boomer Jetpack
And a skill I can't remember the name of, where I jump up and start blasting things around me with my Rockets.

This. Thing. Is. AWESOME. It has insane jumping and dashing, even when I have my Blitz out. (Which would normally slow me down significantly)

Stallion (340 NCcoins!)
Two Echo Blaster-Cs
Crimson Edge-C
Annihilator-C
Sonic Boomer Jetpack
"Dancing Blade" skill.

Also a very awesome mech.

[1337W422102]

Very nicely done, Shadowman! Personally, I was thinking of spending 5 RL$, since that's enough for a mech and I'd get some leftover. But, due to that error I mentioned earlier, it'd be kinda pointless.

Pwn some n00bs for me, Shadow!

[Shadowman]

Exteel:
Spent the last of my NCcoins. I now have a little over 1.5 Million repair points, some Recharge points (For making my mech respawn faster), and two more skills, Devil Slugs (Slam a single enemy with my rocket, jump into the air, then shoot him), and Blast Helix, which, for some reason, I couldn't equip...

I also got another Annihilator-C for my secondary mech, so now he has two.

Now, I'm off to pwn some n00bs...

[Grahf]

Lost Odyssey:
Finished discs 1 and 2

Rez HD:
Finished all stages, moving on to the score attack stages

[Shadowman]

Exteel:
Level 17! Those new mechs must've done something, I'm making more money and leveling up faster. It's like a Viagra for Robots!

Doom 3:
Made it to Alpha Labs 2. Luckily, I wore my Doom-Proof vest. (Should have worn Doom proof pants)

[1337W422102]

Project Torque [PC]:
What can I say? I'm a whore for free badly translated asian games with RPG elements (ie: excessive grinding). Installed it and got the 5 Bonus items for having a membership at MMOsite (ie: I made an account at MMOsite to get the free items). Naturally, I can't use ANY of said items yet because I'm not a high enough level. Go figure.

I wasn't able to play because I had too much work to do, and now it seems that there is some kind of system maintenance so I can't log in. Grr.

[Shadowman]

Exteel:
Hit level 18. Gave my Jaywalker (Which I designated "BigBlue") a Missile Launcher booster pack, and a Scootwing head for the extra Skill Slot, (It now has three) which I used for the Stellar Flares skill. My Stallion (Renamed "BlueHawk," because I kept thinking of the movie Black Hawk Down whenever I'd get killed) now has a different pack. I gave it my Jaywalker's head, so it has two skill slots, which I used for Blast Helix.

Also, I leveled up my Rocket Series skills. Now, any rocket I use has a higher overheat point.

Doom 3:
Alpha Labs 3. I saw a long, dark hallway with sets of red lights going down it, splitting off from the main path. Knowing every game ever rewards people for leaving the beaten path, or for going the extra mile, I took it. At the end, an ammo belt and a chain gun. Also, several enemies, first, around five Imps, then a couple of Zombie Commandos.

Just a note, every time I've ever played Doom, I tend to use Give-all/IDKFA and God Mode/IDDQD--That's right, I remember those!! This time, I'm only using God mode. Not as freaky as it could be, and I'm not as concerned about my safety, but I'm thinking a lot more tactically, specifically about how I can kill things with minimal ammo use. I haven't blown up so many barrel's since I last played Half-Life 2!

GTA 3:
Got to Staunton. Went back to Portland to get the last 2 packages. I'm currently running around Stanton gathering packages, then I'll rape some gangs with the Rampages and do the police/fire/ambulance/taxi missions.

Project Torque [PC]:
Got started, having a lot of fun despite the fact that I'm a total n00b and my crappy hatchback sucks. At least it doesn't spin out like that godawful Toyota from the Tutorial...

I reached level F-III (letter means rank [ranges from F to A], numerals mean progress through rank), bought the soft vinyl to make my car less bland. Going to look into performance upgrades but damn, they're expensive.

[Shadowman]

GTA 3:
then I'll rape some gangs

Ewwwww....

Doom 3:
Working through the Comm Facility. I picked up the Plasma Rifle and the Inexplicable Chainsaw.

GTA 3:

Ewwwww....

Sorry, I meant 'raep' them. You know, general pwnage.

I suddenly have an urge to reinstall this game. I'm sure there's a mod somewhere for this sort of thing. Oh wait. There is!

NIGHTS
Completed the third Nightopia and opened the stairway. Now I have to rescure Helen and Nights from Wizeman.

[Shadowman]

Doom 3:
I made it to the Monorail. I'd do the song from that one episode from The Simpsons, but I haven't seen that one in years.

[1337W422102]

GTA 3 [PC]:
38% through the game. Still hunting for packages in Staunton, but I've also taken the time to work on some Unique Jumps and deliver some vehicles to the Harbour. I also got a Perfect Triple Insane Stunt (the one near Asuka's).

Project Torque [PC]:
Took the License test to reach Rank E. I had to take it 3 times because the car's handling/grip sucks moose balls. I was awarded a new car for my troubles: a crappy top-heavy 4x4. Needless to say, I'm sticking to my Level 1 hatchback until I attain D-Class and can use the free car I got from MMOsite.

Oh, and among the free gifts from MMOsite was a sexy sponsor girl who gives me 50%+ XP. And I hope that's not all she gives me; giggity.

[The Happy Locust]

Playing through all my games in short spurts in the interests of equal playtime.

Call of Duty 4
Reached and protected the stuck Tank. Took out the enemy aircraft gun so my helicopters could clear out the rest of the enemies for us.

Crysis
Reached the radio tower on the hill overlooking the village. Obtained an assault scope on the way up. Other than that, mostly shooting anything that moves.

I do that, and I've never been happier.

Splinter Cell:
Yep. Playing this one. Nabbed some info on a Russion Mercenary, then got some more from his personal driver. (Who I gave a prompt pistol whip to) Now I'm going throughout the Ministry of Defense of Georgia (Country, not State) trying to get more info so I can PUT A BULLET IN HIS HEAD.

(Sam Fisher owns all)

Doom 3:
Passed through Hell, then kicked Sergeant Kelly's robo-ass. Now I have a permanent BFG9000 that I won't have to give up. (The last two I lost going to Hell and coming from Hell, in that order) Now I'm in Site 3, about to shoot whatever moves to death.

[The Happy Locust]

NIGHTS
Completed the story on Will's quest. Only three D ratings at the moment. Defeated Wizeman and watched Will's ending.
Just started on Helen's quest.

[Shadowman]

Doom 3:
BEATEN! Hell is beaten, the Hellhole is closed (1337W422102, this is your cue), and all that's left is to wait for Elizabeth McNeil and some other Marine to come in and clear anything I missed. (I.e. Betruger/Maladict)

Splinter Cell:
I'm in...a kitchen. And I've found that, no matter how much you cheat in this game, it's still freakin' hard. (Again, it's your cue)

I had to redo the entire Ministry of Defense mission because I didn't put a body in the right place. Turns out, I should have left the driver right where I interrogate him, literally in a puddle of his own urine.

Now I have to get a particular officer, and put him to a retinal scan. And EVERYONE WEAR THE SAME SUIT.

Doom 3:

Giggity!

Giggity giggity!

Project Torque [PC]:
Reached Level E-II, or something. Don't remember. Unlocked the 'Nascar'-ish game mode, and it's not terribly interesting.

[The Happy Locust]

why does he get the fun games? All I get is to speak of how I explored a deep crevasse with a yo-yo, found a spot with 3 holes and found my Uncle all the way inside.

Startopics
Completed chapters 6. See above but with in-context view.

[1337W422102]

I explored a deep crevasse with a yo-yo, found a spot with 3 holes and found my Uncle all the way inside.

Giggity giggity goo!

I just found out about the Rush Hour event in Project Torque, 25%+ XP and $$ tonight, so I'll have to play a bit. I hope I can use my +100% $$ Sponsor Girl in conjunction with this event!
