[The Happy Locust]

Now is that perfect casting or what, eh?

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Finished the 'Wrong Side of the Tracks' job. That one pissed me off. Freakin' fatass Smoke can't aim for smeg. I also stole the rhyme book from Mad Dog (lulz.), and right now I'm just chillin, rollin' on bustas, boostin' mah respekt and weapon skillz.

I loved playing GTA:SA. Sandbox was never as much fun as when you could grab an army Apache Helicopter and use it for vigilante missions. Those "criminals" never saw what hit them... up until I hit the wrong button and jumped out of my vehicle at 2000 feet up. Whoopsy.

Note to self: always pack a 'chute! I picked up a parachute from that building on the edge of Downtown Los Santos. You can go to the roof on a bike/motorcycle, and jumping off the building on the bike is always fun, as long as you land and get the Insane stunt!

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Cleared the Doberman mission. Currently working on taking over territory and dating Denise to get that pimp suit.

Worth asking, but is Hot Coffee on your agenda?

Going nuts with Jumps is a hoot! Grab a motorbike, find a ramp, a building, or a mountain side and go diving off the edge.
am I the only one who found it fun to block traffic, blow up one car, and watch the line of explosions that ensued?

Not really. Is it good?

For sure!

Hell yeah! I would do that all the time in GTAIII, usually from the hideout in Portland once I got the 'nades delivered by collecting hidden packages. I'd park a car, make a roadblock, and lob in some grenades. Hoo boy, that crap was literally the bomb!

F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point:
Well...Holiday didn't get very far. And by "Far" I mean "brutally slaughtered." And by "Didn't" I mean "Did."

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin:
Got the Ultimate Vampire Killer. Then I took down both The Creature (Frankenstein!) and Medusa.

"Find Jin!" *slam*

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Taking over more territory. Working my way through the purple area east as well as the yellow area near the stadium. The hard part isn't surviving the gang war (thanks to all of the weapons I got due to spraying all 100 tags and reaching Hitman level with the pistol, Uzi/Tec-9, boomstick, AK, and MP5), it's STARTING the gang war. I'm having a hard time finding enough guys to take out to initiate the war, and cops interfering always sucks.

Still, it was hard not to look. It was the kind of death Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat sees and goes "Whoa...Cool."

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin:
Beat Brauner. Now I have to take down the combined forces of Dracula and Death.

Yeah, you can see his gibs in the window across the street.

Drift City [PC]:
Reached Level 48, only 1 more to go before I can use my new parts.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin:
Took time off of getting my ass kicked by Dracula to get some alternate quests done.

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Been taking over turf. Check out my Xfire screenshot page to see the map screen gradually get more green.

I never bothered much with Turf. I gave it a few tries but I prefered just having a small area so I could do mass drive-bys.

and flipping polarities completely:
Super Mario Galaxy
Still in the Engine room observatory. Cleared the Gold Leaf galaxy and the one after that who's name I can't remember (the circular waterway one). After feeding a new hungry luma, got to take a trip to the Drifting sands level.
I forget how many stars I have but I believe it's over 80 now.

The first time I played San An I didn't really give a crap either. I didn't have the weapon skills, much less the weapons, to survive the turf wars, and provoking a gang war without the cops raping you is tough, especially when you don't know how to form gangs...

But now that I know more about the game, it's not as bad. I currently am in the process of taking over the last territory.

[Shadowman]

BioShock:
Finished the Big Daddy Suit. Now I have to guide a Little Sister to Fontaine's Lair. Except she apparently cares more about collecting ADAM lying around...and she doesn't realized that she's not invincible.

Luckily, I don't fail if she dies, because I can just get another Little Sister in that scenario, with no adverse affects to me!

[1337W422102]

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Took over all of the territories in Los Santos. The map is drowning in green areas, and it feels good. My cash icon at my house seems to max out at 10 grand, but that's all good. Right now I'm working on the pimping missions, and I'll probably do some paramedic, firefighter, vigilante, taxi and burglaries for fun.

[Tweezy]

Rock Band:
we're on the bodyguards gig. And have just found out the most hilarious way to get a high score on vocals for "Sabotage": By repeatedly tapping the microphone against ones crotch.
(I was able to get 73% on expert by doing so) But you have to keep rhythm with the words.

[1337W422102]

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Cleared "The Green Sabre," ie. the crap has hit the fan.
Currently using my Grove Street safehouse to stock up and weapons before heading back to Angel Pine.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
I'm on the third trial, where I have to clean an actor on a kids action show who allegedly stabbed the guy who played the villain with the prop they use as the hero's (My client's) weapon.

He's got a pretty solid alibi: The guy says he was asleep from just after lunch, until just after five o'clock. (During which the murder happened) One person--An old lady who is a complete bitch--claims to not only have seen him, but also has a photo from a security camera; however, this person was wearing the hero's costume, which includes a mask that completely obscures the face. So...we've got a pretty good defense going.

This game is spectacular. Despite being largely point-and-click, it has a pretty good "Law and Order" theme, very interesting characters, and a kickass sense of humor. (Mia Fey mistakenly called Larry Butz, Harry Butz)

MegaMan ZX:
Just combined Biometal X and Biometal Z...so it looks like, once more, I find myself stuck with the team of X and Zero. Too bad Axl doesn't come into play until the next game.

This game is also really really good. It features quite a few features from the Zero series (Mostly the art style, but characters--Prairie is supposed to be Allouette from Zero, and the "Sis" she mentions is supposed to be Ciel), but also has a somewhat (But not quite) Metroid-like map.

Also, it has Anime cutscenes that, for some reason, have Japanese voice acting with English subtitles. Really well animated, though.

Sam & Max Episode IV: Abe Lincoln Must Die! [PC]:
It's good to see the old boys back again and funny as ever! On my way back to the office so I can talk to Sybil. I think I've found her a great date...

[Shadowman]

Mega Man ZX:
Opened a big ol' can of Whoop-Ass on five of the Pseudoroids, and also Prometheus. I've got all four Biometals, plus the upgrade for Model HX.

Speaking of, Model HX is FREAKING AWESOME.

[1337W422102]

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Doing the robberies with Catalina. At the part where Caesar calls you about the street race. MAN, I HATE that race. I'll probably use a Taxi for it since I love the way those handle and now that they all have nitro since I did enough Taxi Driver missions, well, that's even better!

[Psycho Warrior]

Progress: Civilization 4 (PC)
beat my first real try at the game. I was India (with Ghandi as my leader)
I built the UN and got elected world leader with only 7 turns left and neary everything aquired (except for futrue tech part 3).

Always fun to kill barbarians who only have clubs with machine guns.

Oddly the game said I was most like Dan Quayle...

[Shadowman]

Mega Man ZX:
Got the second half of Model FX.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
About half-way through the third case. Apparently, the crazy old lady didn't do it. Edgeworth really doesn't like her, despite her being one of his witnesses. It's actually kind of fun to watch him get mad at her, partly because I'm still a little sore about him being such a dick in the last trial, but also because it means I have a better grasp of the situation than he does.

Progress: Civilization 4 (PC)
Oddly the game said I was most like Dan Quayle...

Wow, the game really doesn't like you, huh?

Sonic Heroes:
(Story mode)
Team Sonic - 100%
Team Dark - 88% (currently in Final Fortress)
Team Rose - 100%
Team Chaotix - 100%
Chaos Emeralds: 1

[Shadowman]

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
Cleared the Third Trial. Edgeworth seems to be warming up a bit, even stepping in to help a couple times. Like this:

Edgeworth: OBJECTION!
[The "We're Wining!" Music plays]
Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what is this?
Edgeworth: I was hoping I'd come up with a good question while I screamed "Objection!"...But I didn't.
[Music cuts abruptly]
Judge: In that case--
Edgeworth: OBJECTION! I have a question!

MegaMan ZX:
Completed models HX, FX, and LX, meaning I only need to finish Model PX, and then the Final Boss Levels can commence!

[1337W422102]

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Made it to San Fierro, reached Hitman with the Deagle, currently taking the snapshots.

[City Commander]

Metroid Prime 3- standard mode complete minus 3 upgrades and 4 scans, will commence hypermode in February

Mario Galaxy- Complete main story. Need 5 more stars to get to that 'other galaxy'.

Super Paper Mario- four stars got, three heroes, level 7. Great game. Amazed I had my doubts. Battle system is ingenious.
