MegaMan ZX:
I got the second halves of all four Biometals. And I stopped Biometal W!

Well...sorta. There's increased activity around the Slither Inc. Building. Methinks someone's forming an army?

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Only missing one Photo Op. Currently working on finding the Oysters. Maxed out my Lung Capacity.

[Shadowman]

Half-Life 2:
Played through "Point Insertion," but with a twist: Immediately, I used Impulse 101. Full health, and all weapons with filled ammo reserves. I found something weird: Combine didn't fight back. Apparently, they aren't hostile until they're programmed to be, which is either when you piss them off (Even then, they're only hostile for a moment), or shortly after meeting Barney. (Which lasts the rest of the game)

I shot one metrocop, and the Metrocop standing next to him only looked at me briefly, before walking somewhere else.

Yeah, they don't do anything at the beginning, unless you throw a phone or luggage at them!

Progress: Civilization 4 (PC)
This time I beat everyone by the space race. this time the game said I was most like Ethelred the Unready.

They don't do anything if you throw bullets at them, either!

Because they'd be dead.

MegaMan ZX:
Opened an Economy-Sized can of whoop-ass on Pandora and Prometheus.

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Collecting Oysters and dating Katie.

Bots [PC]:
Forgot that I signed up for this game months ago. Downloaded it to try it. Think Final Fight or Double Dragon with chibi robots. Kinda funny. I named my character 'DeathsHeadYes' after everyone's favourite Freelance Peace Keeping Agent. Reached Level 4 and bought my Bot the Level 1 arms and crossbow.

Super Mario Galaxy
Spent some time in the toy time galaxy. hit the three main stars as well as a secret star and a fast foe comet star.
Went to Bowser Jr's Star reactor to fight King Kaliente again, this time on sinking platforms. Defeated the Calamari king and got a grand star. Unlocked another observatory as well as the gate area. Spent some time as flying Mario, which would be more fun with a more focused camera. Up to 86 stars.

[Shadowman]

BioShock:
Beaten! Yeah, it was short, but it was very satisfying.

Now maybe I'll put some more time into F.E.A.R. Extraction Point.

[1337W422102]

BOTS [PC]:
Reached Level 10, bought the Level 8 arms.

[Shadowman]

F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point:
Making my way through the subway system. I got some help from Mini-Alma. I could have handled the three Replicas, but I'm up for anything, especially when someone I previously considered a threat kills my enemies for me. And I know she did it to help me, because a creepy little girl's voice said "You're Safe now," just after she made them explode.

Man, now I'll have to return the favor! Crap, how am I going to repay a psionically-powered ghost?! She's only eight, so I guess virgin's are out of the question...maybe goats? She doesn't strike me as the Goat-eating type, though. A pony! Little girls love ponies! And creepy ghost girls like immolated ponies, so it all works out!

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
Edgeworth probably shot a guy. Since he's officially out as Prosecutor, I have to go up against Von Karma. *Lightning*

MegaMan ZX:
Welcome to the Obligatory Boss Rush stage! Because that's what I'm doing.

Uh...MIGHT have tried to unload a few H&K MP5 clips into her...every time...

Super Mario Galaxy
Moved onto the "secret" observatory on the highest tower. Took on the bonus galaxy and the cleared the Deep Deep Dark Galaxy. Up to 96 stars.

[Shadowman]

F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point:
Jin was, I guess, attacked by Fettel. As far as I know, he only showed her a vision of Jankowski, minus his eyes.

MegaMan ZX:
Serpent's First Form is easy enough. He has a sliding kick, a Shoryuken-style uppercut, and fires three, very small, slow-moving energy shots, kind of like a Shotgun in slow motion. He apparently has a gigantic energy attack, but he didn't get to fire it. He stops after each attack, so I use Model Hx's three-hit-combo, run, jump, repeat.

Fused with Model W, though, THAT'S painful.

Yeah, that's always fun. It sure is mean of her to try to kill you all those times... Well, things get strange from this point in; enjoy the rest of EP!

Drift City [PC]:
ijji and NHN piss me off. I finished the Area 71 mission after losing twice (effing tractor trailers spawning in my way blocking my path!), and then I tried to do a Scouting mission. First the game crashed, rebooting my computer, and then when I got it up and running again, a power failure on my street knocked my power out. KAAAAAAAAHN!

Meh, I'll keep at it. More XP for me, I guess. I'll be doing more Scouting missions which are draining on gas My 240SX is almost out of gas. When it's empty, I'll use the other cars in my garage until they're all completely empty, then I'll sell my 240SX, buy a Civic, and use that for the Scouting. I'll use my RX-8 for racing.

[The Happy Locust]

Super Mario Galaxy
Decided to go ahead and beat the game, earning the final grand star and saving Princess Peach. After which, I can continue the game with extra. The extras, in this case, being having Flying Mario stars all over the observatory and access to the purple comet missions.
Done about a 3rd of the purple comet missions so far, bringing me up to 113 stars.

[1337W422102]

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Reached 100% with Katie, can now die without losing money/weapons. Did the first Zero mission.

[The Happy Locust]

Super Mario Galaxy
Spent the morning collecting more purple coin stars. Up to 119. Only one more to go.

[Shadowman]

F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point:
I'm in the Worst Hospital Ever! There's blood stains in places where there SHOULDN'T be blood stains! Like the waiting room! And they wouldn't accept my HMO!

New Super Mario Bros.:
Playing the game over as Luigi. Made it to the World 2 Castle.

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Dealt with the construction workers who've been giving Kendl a hard time. And yes, she DOES dress like a hooker. Currently working on the driving school. It's going pretty well!

[The Happy Locust]

Super Mario Galaxy
Got the full 120 stars and then beat the game again to finish things off. As a gift for finding everything, I unlocked SUPER LUIGI GALAXY! (play game a 2nd time but as Luigi).
Although I'll still be putting time into getting 120 with Luigi so I can get the full 121, this is no longer my top priority game. That goes to Crysis (which I found I haven't played since last year, despite it being kickass).

[Shadowman]

New Super Mario Bros.:
Made it to World 5 as Luigi. Oddly, I'm getting more secret exits and Star coins as Luigi than as Mario.

[1337W422102]

GTA III [PC]:
Reinstalled this game on my laptop so I can . Started a new game, finished the Luigi missions and found 31 of the Packages in Portland.

Half-Life 2: Episode I [PC]:
Finished the game. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm kinda annoyed at myself. I wasted so much time at the Strider boss fight throwing the mines and stuff at them, when all I had to do was run like hell, climb a ladder and get a crapload of rockets...

Currenly replaying the game with commentary on.

[The Happy Locust]

GTA III [PC]:
Reinstalled this game on my laptop so I can . Started a new game, finished the Luigi missions and found 31 of the Packages in Portland.

GTA:Sa was the first GTA I'd actually played, so when I tried playing GTAIII, I just couldn't get into it.

Decided to hit the virtual console again.
Startropics
REached level 3. After having the sub-c become wrecked in a storm, walked to Miracola to take up a quest to cure the chief's daughter. First step, the cave to reach Miracola. EAsy level but I ended up doing it a couple of tries (a "secret exit" actually drops you out the side of the mountain).
After reaching the village, told the chief I'd help his daughter. To this end, currently passing through another cave, this time a molten depths level.
