Contra 4:
Unlocked Sheena Etranzi. I kind of feel weird saying this...but she's hotter than Samus. She's wearing armor on her arms (Full arm, and shoulder pads) and knee-high boot-armor (Like the other Contras), but she's wearing a bikini. Hot damn. Plus, she's a Contra, so she's immediately tougher than Samus.

Blasphemy. Granted, she does have that Genocide gun...

Link's Awakening DX [GBC]:
Got the 5th instrument. Christ, it takes a smegging orchestra to wake the damn Wind Fish up... On my way to the Face Shrine to kick ass and chew bubble gum.

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Got my Criminal Rating to 40k+ (Gangsta rank), did the Dam raid mission but messed up the one after involving collecting the four bikes. The last bike exploded when I tried shooting its rider.

[Shadowman]

Blasphemy. Granted, she does have that Genocide gun...

In Contra 4, she only has the basic pea-shooter that every other character has, but she has access to the other upgrades, like Spread Shot.

And...well, you have to fight aliens that could make Mother Brain crap itself.

"Holy, crap! The second-level boss is a forty-foot-tall alien with laser breath?! I feel...outdated."

Iron Man [PC]:
Honestly, I'm surprised. It's not as bad as I thought it'd be. Much better than that crap 'Transformers' 'game.' I also like how they put in characters and stuff that weren't in the movie, such as Titanium Man and A.I.M., as well as other suits like the Silver Centurion and the oldschool comic "tin can" model.

Beat up Titanium Man while using the comic tin can suit. Unlocked the "shoot-and-forget" missiles, the Turbo Boost (lulx, knight rider) and Kamikaze attack, and another minigun, the energy one.

I've reached the Aircraft Carrier mission, and I'm ready to kick ass.

To be fair, the Contras were not very friendly people.

And to Brits, I don't think the Probos were very friendly either. Just in case you didn't know, probo is a word people use to describe members of the Irish Republican Army.

Wrong. You have gotten probos confused with provos which is the shortened term used for the Provisional IRA.

Yeah picked it up myself on Friday for the 360, finished it on normal on Saturday, got all 1000 gamerpoints on Sunday.

Be prepared to be annoyed at the Save Pepper mission, if you need some advice let me know.

That one wasn't too bad, as long as you figure out that you have to kill EVERYTHING that attacks the base near the end.

I'm just not sure how to beat the boss with the flamethrower arm on the island level. I mean, I've been inflicting damage, but then he does his massive blue explosion and that makes me lose a heart.

Hover away from the central island and continously use your unibeam on the cannon. It doesn't damage it as much as The Melters weapon but you should be able to destroy it before it fires to get the hero mission objective. When the cannon is destroyed the mission ends.

Unless the PC version is different to the X360/PS3 version that should work, though I have heard that it is based on the ps2 version so I'm not sure.

Wait, are you talking about the boss fight? Because doesn't the ceiling close, locking you into the close quarters area with the boss?

Super Smash BRos. Brawl
Took wolf through classic mode on very hard. Made it to Master hand but got flicked into oblivion with no continues. ACK!
took a shot at 100-man melee. I can make it to 97 and 98 but that last batch is brutal.
unlocked Target mode level 5.

[1337W422102]

Iron Man [PC]:
Cleared the Island Meltdown mission. Fighting the boss is a lot easier if you hover.

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Cleared the Cop Wheels and Up, Up and Away! missions.

Team Fortress 2 [PC]:
So Steam games work on Xfire now. Well it's about damn time. Earned about 3 Medic Achievements.

[Shadowman]

Chrono Trigger:
If I wanted a game any more classic, I'd play Pong.

Went into the past, busted some heads, saved the princess, now I'm back in the present (That being the year 1000, for whatever reason). I had to go Back to the Future!! Now for some fake-court.

[1337W422102]

Link's Awakening DX [GBC]:
I lost my goddamn save data when I charged up my flashcart. Damn it all to hell. Started over, rushing like hell. Cleared the first 2 dungeons, doing the colour dungeon for the red clothes.

[Shadowman]

Chrono Trigger:
Made it to...THE FUTURE! It's a crap place where humanity lives in smelly domes, and the world has been all but destroyed in 1999. Man, who knew we've been living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland for the past nine years?

Teamed up with a robot named Robo, doing...stuff.

[1337W422102]

Iron Man [PC]:
The game isn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. Finished the game, loved the Demon in a Bottle ad in the last level (a reference to my favourite and arguably the most important Iron Man story arc). The last level is really anticlimactic and the final cutscene isn't great either.

[Shadowman]

Chrono Trigger:
Went into the year 65,000,000, fixed up the Masamune, then kicked Magus' pasty magical ass.

[Binaltech Bombshell]

GTA IV

Cleared out a Mob controlled construction site for Playboy X, then wasted a troublesome gangmember for him, and rescued a kidnapped Roman from a warehouse of Russian goons. A rich full day in the life of Niko.

[Shadowman]

Chrono Trigger:
I have to find a Magic Door, then open it with a pendant. To do this, I must go beyond the Thunder Dome!!

Okay, that's a lie, there is no Thunder Dome in this game.

[The Happy Locust]

Bully Scholarship edition
No real headway into story progression, but took on a few side missions. Aided the lunch lady in preparing for and protecting her during her date with the chemistry teacher (and in the process becoming a silent accomplice to date rape) and then ran down a thief who stole merchandise from the comic book store. Finally, aided the drunken santa by utterly demolishing a Santa's kingdom in the park. Nothing quite so satisfying as hearing a wooden beam KLACK over an elf's head.
Completed music 3 and cleared Gym class.

[1337W422102]

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Doing some work for Ken. He's even more of a pu-- er, pussycat than he was in Vice. As Rick James would say, "Cocaine's a hell of a drug."

Link's Awakening DX [GBC]:
Almost back to where I was before I lost my saved game. Cleared the Catfish's Maw, on my way to the Face Shrine, but I have to pick up the Face Key first. I'll do some exploring too, now that I have the Hookshot. I can get another Heart Piece and the frog's song.

[The Happy Locust]

Mario Kart Wii
Took the 50cc course for a run. Got first place in the mushroom, flower, and shell cups. realizing just how out of practice I am.

[1337W422102]

Drift City [PC]:
Somehow got pulled back into this messed-up title. At least it's fun. Reached Level 51, thinking of buying a new car. Also grinding and farming as my alt.

[Shadowman]

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One:
I've beaten it, now I'm playing again. I'm currently in Hobo Alley, just beat up a bunch of hobos so I could help get a Urinologist (Exactly as weird as it sounds) into his lab. (A pee-covered section of park)

This game is worth it, and any self-respecting Penny Arcade has a duty to buy this game for the low, low price of $20. To say "No" is a federal crime.

[1337W422102]

$20 for a single Episode? I think I'll just wait until the Season comes out like they did for Sam & Max. But I'm definitely interested.

Link's Awakening DX [GBC]:
Reached Level 6, found the Lv2 Power Bracelet.

[Shadowman]

Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One:
Beat up the Slum Lord, after which Gabe inexplicably took a lock of his really nice hair. He thought everyone shared the idea. We did not.

Now we're at Pelican Bay, killing clowns and mimes. There's also an evil Barbershop Quartet! We get to kill them, too.

EDIT:
BEATEN! Took down the Mime God, Yog Sethis, the Silent One. (A giant mime with Cthulhu's head) Of course, Fruit F***er Prime is still on the loose, as is the Necrowombicon. Can't wait for Episode 2!

"Four Gods wait on the windowsill
Where once eight Gods did war and will
And if the Gods Themselves may die
What does that say for you and I?"

"Now, three Gods wait on the windowsill
Where one God’s blood was lately spilled
While black tongues lap at the spreading pool
And build the strength they need to rule"

[Psycho Warrior]

Final fantasy 12
I just beat Cid and I have Queklin now (can't spell/pronounce his new name). I'm not really shooting for the side quests. I mainly just want to get the espers.
