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

Yeah, I can imagine. But GTA3 is the first one I played and I keep going to back it.

How are you enjoying Star Tropics? I hope it's easier than Star Tropics II: Zoda's Revenge. I have that for my NES and every time I play I feel like punching a baby.

I own both Startropics games on the NES and love them both dearly. And honestly, I never felt the 2nd game was that difficult. I can't wait for Startropics II on the VC.

Crysis
With no way out of the cavern, went deeper. Too bad that only took me into the heart of an alien spaceship and war factory. Better run! Oh wait, the gravity just turned off. Um... FLOAT AWAY!
After rebounding my way around the ship and fighting off weird partially translucent aliens (with jaws like the Predator). After much time getting lost, managed to find where they were creating an entire army of walkers, flyers, and crawler units. Should I try and take this entire base down singlehandedly? HELL NO! RUN FOR DAYLIGHT!
Escaped the ship and made it outside, only to find the tropical island completely frozen. The area around the ship is encased in a spherical field which protects it and cools the internal temperature. I tried to find survivors from my squad but they were literally icicles at this point.
One of my guys from earlier had survived, but his suit was damaged and he was freezing fast. Made a run with him from heat source to heat source until we finally escaped the sphere and made it to living marines.
A jeep ride to a crashed VTOL to rescue a civilian later and we're home free.... maybe not. A Walker unit decided to follow us and that thing does not go down easy. Running from this thing, we finally made evac. Too bad our pilot got capped. Guess who's flying the ship now/

You're just better at Star Tropics than I am. It's the boss fights that piss me off. I'm still stuck at the one in the Sherlock Holmes world where you have to jump and throw stuff at it without falling into the water. Damn perspective!

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Finished driving school, did the missions for Jizzy and currently working on the Woozie jobs.

Crysis
GAME.OVER!
This part annoyed the hell out of me. There's a glitch in the game where the TAC cannon won't lock onto the final boss. Apparently I qualified for the glitch. grr... I went online and downloaded someone else's savegame and loaded it and the battle worked perfectly. Go figure.
Anyway, defeated the alien exoskeleton and then the warship, completing the game. Next up, returning to the island for Crysis 2.

Startropics
Made it to Shecola, but can't get in because they only allow women. Tried to get the fortune teller to help but she had lost her crystal ball in the ghost town.
Went to the ghost town and worked my way through many false exits to finally reach Maxie, the queen ghost. After defeating her and draining the ghost town's lake, found the crystal ball. Returned the crystal ball to the fortune teller who then dressed me like a girl so I could get into Shecola.
Inside the castle, learned the way to the mountain hermit via the secret tunnel. Also got a shooting star upgrade to my yo-yo.
Crossed the secret tunnel and just entered the mountain. Time to climb.

GTA San Andreas [PC]:
Took out the pesky reporter for Tenpenny, and I'm still in Los Santos. I'll stick around and stockpile weapons/cap Bustas since I lost all my guns in that boat raid mission for Woozie. Finished the Burglary missions and got the 24/4 Asset in Los Santos.

GTA 3 [PC]:
Took out Chunky Lee Chong for Joey and the Thieves for Marty Chonks. Working on Sub-Missions and delivering Import/Export vehicles.

Guitar Hero III
Still unable to get past Raining blood on Hard or Before I forget on expert. In anger, decided to go back and raise my star ratings for other songs. On Expert, managed to get all but 2 3 stars up to 4 stars. Quite simply, I'm getting better at the songs I can already do but worse at the ones I can't. Not quite what I was hoping for.

Finally got round to playing Metroid Prime 3 on hyper mode. Just finished Bryyo.

Guitar Hero III
No real updates. Completed a few songs I couldn't earlier and upped a few songs from 3 star to 4 star, but my general skill level does not seem to be improving at all.

StarTropics
Reached the mountain summit to speak with the hermit. He gave me the spell to wake the Miracola chief's daughter. With her recovered, the chief had my ship repaired and I was only way, only to get swallowed by a whale.
Inside the whale, Met Dr. J's assistant again who had a wild story to tell. After searching the Whale's stomach for a lighter, set a fire and made the whale sneeze us out. On my way again. This time, to chapter #5

Hogan's Alley [NES]:
Game A is pretty boring. Game B is surprisingly fun. My favourite mode is Trick Shot, though, and I'm glad to see that they worked a pseudo-homage of it into the Duck Hunt-esque game on Wii Play.

GTA III [PC]:
Working on the Submissions and I/E Garage/Emergency Vehicle Deliveries in Portland. Met Toni (he kicks ass), and helped Chonks collect the insurance money on his wife.

Startropics
Started chapter #5. the island is surrounded by Shallows which prevent my ship from passing. There is a straight between the two halves of the island but an old Spanish Galleon is blocking the path.
To cross the straight, I have to move that ship. After consulting with a gabby Parrot named Peter (which required me to circle the island to find a fisherman willing to give me a worm), learned the secret way to open the path to the ship.
After another arduous journey, reached Captain Bell's Memorial and played a giant set of piano keys to open the path to the caves to open the ship. Now to actually start the action portion of the level.

Does anyone else find the musical clue oddly questionable after so much time? "Do me so far, do me!"

Spider-Man 3:
I've decided to go do the last of the Crime Patrol Missions. So far, I've brought the influence of both the Dragon Tails and the H-Bombers down to 0%, while the Cops are up to past 50%. Apocalypse Gang and the Waste Tribe are next!

GTA3 [PC]:
About 30% through the game. In Portland. Finished the 20 Fire and 20 Vigilante Missions. Completed all the Unique Jumps and Rampages. Almost done the Import/Export and the 2 remaining Hidden Packages in Portland require access to Staunton. I'll keep doing the Ambulance missions to get the health but my main concern right now are the story missions. Finished all the work for Joey, met Salvatore, took Maria to the party. Now, it's time to bring some pain to the Triads and shut down the SPANK operation on the boat.

Ive taken down every Gang except Apocalypse Gang. Sadly, they're not working for an ancient, immortal mutant of the same name, it's just a coincidence. The control percentage of AG is under 25% while the Cops are above 75%. Not long now!

Oh, and when I bought a new Adrenaline Attack, Bruce "The Narrator" Campbell chimed in with "Nice upgrade! Not as cool as a chainsaw attached to your arm, but pretty good nonetheless." Evil Dead references FTW!

Yeah, yeah, I know. Anyway, I finally reached Level 49 thanks to the 50%+ XP/$$ event. If I ever finish this freaking school work/university application, I might go grind a little more. Giggity.

Startropics
Completed Captain Bell's cave and sunk his ship, clearing the straights and allowing me passage to chapter #6. In chapter #6, passed a few islands in search of Dr J's signal. Finally located it about three shoals in. Took a dive and found an undersea cave.

Call of Duty 4
Rescued Nikolai and extracted him. Switching to the American Campaign on our first assault to apprehend Al-assad.
