Star Wars: The Old Republic:
Well, I'll just break this one down by class:

Jedi Knight:
Got to Coruscant, and after some time there, learned that the "kidnapped" doomsday-weapon-building scientist, Tarnis, wasn't kidnapped, he was eluding us. Turns out, he's not just a Sith, he's the son of Darth Angral. (Remember the first trailer for this, where the Sith curbstomp the Jedi Temple and then the rest of Coruscant? That was Darth Angral's plan) So all those weapons of mass destruction he built for the Republic? Yeah, they're in Sith hands now. Killed Tarnis, pissing Darth Angral right off. So me and my new sexy redheaded sarcasm-producing Padawan Kira Carsen have to hunt down all of the WMDs while at the same time tracking down/watching out for Darth Angral. (Who the Sith have officially declared to have gone rogue; they want full-scale war about as much as the Republic)

Consular:
Well this has turned into two quests. One to stop a crazed Jedi Master from inciting a massive Sand People rebellion/uprising, (Learning that the Sand People and the Jawas are the last two of four species native to Tatooine, both predating colonization for some time) the other involves fighting a Czerka Corporation executive (Basically in charge of Czerka's equivalent of Umbrella's UBCS) trying to kill the crap out of me, as well as finding an ancient doomsday weapon built and buried on Tatooine. Screw what Luke said, Tatooine is awesome.

Republic Trooper:
Entire squad (Havoc Squad) defected to the Imperials, except for me and one other guy. So now I have to hunt them down and either kill them, or just bring them to justice. That is way more straightforward than the Knight's story...


Imperial Agent:
Cleared Dromund Kaas, only to find that Sith Lord Darth Jadus (Fan of totally sweet helmets and mind rape) had been blown up by terrorists. Now my job is to track down the ones responsible. Meanwhile, his daughter, newly Darth'd Darth Zhorrid has taken his position on the Dark Council. They quickly realized that despite Jadus having spent his final hours mind raping a few thousand people, while going on a galaxy-wide mind raping tour, Zhorrid is the crazier one. She had her "Delightful Bodyguard" fight me to the death because I addressed myself as being from Imperial Intelligence.

I prefer Leliana, at least in terms of personality. I could go either way, though.

Also, 1337W422102, I may or may not have sent you something over Steam you'll be interested in. And I say "may or may not" because I'm not sure exactly what it was I sent you, and if it's what I think it is, I'm not sure if it'll work. Either way, there may or may not be something awesome waiting for you over Steam.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (GBA)
Got my feet wet for this one, found and traversed traversed Olive Ocean, defeated Gobbler the shark and got another shard. Only three more to go. Now I really need to start exploring, the mazes are getting tricky.

Mega Man III (GB)
Decided to start on this game regardless. I know his namesake may hate me for this, but I started with Shadow Man. And I want to say this: why are the things I usually like so annoying in the Mega Man games? Shadow Man has a semi-steady pattern of hopping like a frog, but he gives little to no warning on what attack he's gonna pick.
Next up was Spark Man. Pretty fun stage, but he was brutal. Snake Man's stage was annoying, with the Big Snakey with no safe spot and the Potton and Bubukan mkII combo, not to mention the Dadas.
Now I only have Gemini Man left. Maybe later

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Still hanging around Whiterun, running missions as I find them. Leveling up quicker than expected, which has me a little worried that something's not right.
Story wise, still in the afterglow of killing my first dragon. Went south to a bandit's den and took back a stolen sword, among other things. Next mission is to Orphan rock to find materials that will heal a tree in Whiterun.

I haven't picked a focus style yet so my skill set is all over the place. I'm completely off arrows and two-handed weapons. Currently switching between sword&shield, sword&magic, BoundSword&magic, and two-weapon style. Having learned the Bound sword spell, I'm thinking I'm going for the Battlemage approach, using Conjuration spells along with primary weapons.

[1337W422102]

Saints Row: The Third [PC]:
Finished all of the Hitman targets, almost got Cowboy Upped in terms of weapon levels, and saved Shaundi (obviously). Currently at the Gangstas in Space mission. Also, it seems they've renamed the other ending's Achievement. Like Marvel would've given them crap anyway.

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Returned to Orphan rock and took out a Hagraven. Major pain that took me out incredibly quickly on the first few tries. Came back with the 'Summon fire Atronach' spell and that leveled the playing field a bit. Nettlebane is mine. Returned it to the priestess but she didn't ant to touch it, so I'm taking care of the next part of her mission.
On the way back, stopped by Riverrun for a quick sleep. Woke up to find a dragon attacking. Took some more effort but that's 2 dragons down now. Now I need to find another dragon word wall so I can use the soul I absorbed for something.

No, it'll go very fast at first, then slow down after a while.

Fus Ro Da + That ledge she's standing on = death by fall damage.

Star Wars: The Old Republic:
Got my bounty hunter her ship, which means all eight of my characters now have ships. Hooray! Got into the Great Hunt, a gigantic bounty hunting competition run by the Mandalorians. As for my relationship with a particular Mando who is playing a big part in the story, including killing my mentor, an be best described through song.

Ack! Wish I'd thought of that.

Gamewise, woke up in Riverwood and ended up fighting a dragon again. Pretty sure my first save took but this one died where the remains of the first one were. Weird.

Yep, Unrelenting Force goes great with high ledges. I've taken out entire teams of enemies doing that.

Also, I recommend doing the Thieves Guild questline, up until you get the Skeleton Key. (Unbreakable lockpick!) The final mission requires you to give it to Nocturnal, the Daedric Prince of incredibly sexy outfits Darkness, Luck, and the Night.

The one problem with that image is that it doesn't show you her amazing legs.

In that case, brb r34.

Question: Are you locked to a single guild? I'm in Whiterun so thinking about running jobs for the companions, but going to pass if it prevents me from joining a mage or thieves crew.

You can join all of them at any time. I'm a member of ALL of them.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Still in whiterun. Went and bought a house. Had no choice. I was running back to the store after every room in a dungeon/minekeep because my non-sellables had piled up. Breezehome is a nice enough place to store my stuff.
Mission wise, tracked down a group of Redguard assassins who claimed they weren't assassins. Too bad for them the pretty lady already paid me to kill them. Goodbye.
Tracked down a bounty as well.
Working really hard to upgrade my smithing skill. I'm a light armor specialist but I really want to be able to forge Elven (and eventually glass) armors.

[Shadowman]

In that case, brb r34.

Last I checked, there wasn't any. Which is really weird.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed:
After doing some unbeaten Heroic missions on Dromund Kaas as Sith Warrior, I realized my Inquisitor, the first character I rolled, was somehow also the lowest leveled. Fixed that right up; went back, did the heroic missions I missed on Dromund Kaas, (I tend to skip heroic missions) and then a few more missions on Balmorra. Including an area mission (A group mission that triggers and occurs in specific areas) or rather two area missions inside of a Droid Factory full of insane droids. Took me and two other people an hour and a half to clear the whole thing. We all agreed how exhausted we were of that whole damn place.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Achoo! Stupid cold... I think I know what was the cause:

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (GBA)
Finally found the chilling Peppermint Palace. Actually, it's more than chilling: it's down right freezing! Brrr... I found the boss Wiz, the mirror counterpart of Paint Roller (second boss of Kirby's Adventure) and he was harder than I anticipated. Still, brought that magician down and acquired another mirror shard, which means I'm 2 short.
So I'm off to Cabbage Cavern again to find the Radish Ruins. Ruins... *takes a hat and whip*

Mega Man III (GBA)
Gemini Man is out for the count thanks to his fear of snakes (seriously, that's why his weakness is the Search Snake) so the path is clear to Wily Castle.
And boy is that stage short. It's more like an intro stage with a somewhat laughable boss, in this case a Giant Suzy. Think Octopus Battery on steroids.
Now I have 4 more Robot Masters to beat: Dust Man, Drill Man, Dive Man and Dokurobot... I mean Skull Man.

[SirSoundwaveIV]

Started a Black run a bit back, just recently picked it back up

Team:
Lv. 40 Megatron the Krookodile
Lv. 39 Snaptrap the Carracosta
Lv. 38 Ravage the Fraxure
Lv. 38 Hayley (my dog's name) the Stoutland
Lv. 38 Florina the Emolga

Rolling through Iccirus gym right now, they're all crumpling against Snaptrap.

Be sure to specify what game you're talking about. In this case, I take it's Pokémon Black Version. Anyhow, you saved me from a double post:

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (GBA)
GAME OVER BEATEN! Yup, survived Radish Ruins, and won a duel against (Dark) Meta Knight, acquiring another shard. Let me tell you guys this: if you've fought Meta Knight once, you have a good start on beating him in all the other games as he never changed strategy: awaiting your move and then counterattacking.
Next, I went through Moonlight Mansion again to locate a Warp Star to the final world: Candy Constellation. Not much to write home about, but it have familiar faces, or hands, for bosses: Master Hand and Crazy Hand from the Smash Bros. series. Easy Peasy
Got all 8 shards, fixed the Dimension Mirror and faced Dark Meta Knight again. Not so easy this time, but manageable. The true horror however was Dark Mind. Of all the final Kirby bosses I've faced, he was one of the hardest. HAL, if you're reading this: No more credit scrolling during a final mini-game, PLEASE!

Mega Man III (GB)
Dust Man has bitten the ... dust, and you know what, he sucked. In more ways than one. He has a stage that is evil in some places, but Dust Man himself was so easy it's not even funny. Drill Man has been dulled, and that was a more balanced experience. So, now the only ones left are Dive Man and Doc Robot... no, Skull Man!

Alliance of Valiant Arms [PC]:
So there's an event that only lasts this week during which I can get me some sweet sweet permanent gear. Figured I'd check it out.

That robot siege mode is pretty damn fun. Reached rank of Staff Sergeant, Third Class, bought a new badass armoured vest with a shoulder pad, a Beretta as a sidearm, and storage for an extra mag for it, which really comes in handy during that robot battle mode.

[The Happy Locust]

Took a break from Skyrim and remembered I had a DS.
Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Returned to the spirit tower and got the second rail map. Found the railways more daunting than before and needed some new options. Picked up a friend in castle town, returned him home, and he gave me a cannon to add to my train.

[Shadowman]

Star Wars: The Old Republic:
Finished Balmorra as Inquisitor/Sorcerer, and very nearly done with Tatooine as Consular/Shadow. (Just a couple more missions to wrap up there) In the meantime, sometime tomorrow (Thursday!) my Security Key is coming in the mail. In addition to extra security on my account, it'll also allow my to buy a ton of in-game stuff. Including an "outfit" for female characters, similar to Leia's "outfit" from Return of the Jedi.

You know the one I mean.

(Pics will happen as soon as I can, go and take a cold shower until then)

Halo: Combat Evolved [PC]:
Felt like doing some power-armour-based shootan. Probably should've just loaded up some Section 8: Prejudice and finished my game, but hey.

Started a new game. I think I'll mainly use the Plasma Pistol's melee attack as my primary because PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH. Let's call it a Kung-Fu run.

Reached the first tunnel. Need to turn on the light bridge.

[SirSoundwaveIV]

Oops, my bad. Anyway, another update!

Pokemon Black Version
Level 43 Megatron the Krookodile
Level 43 Optimus the Golurk
Level 43 Florina the Emolga
Level 42 Fallen the Confagrius
Level 41 Ravage the Fraxure
Level 41 Snaptrap the Carracosta

Stormed through Iccirus without breaking a sweat, mowed through Plasma in both Dragonspiral and the ruins. Caught Optimus the Golett (now Golurk) at Dragonspiral after trying to catch one with Iron Fist (I think I caught nearly 10 before getting one with Iron Fist...) and decided I needed a little more defensive firepower on my team and swapped out Hayley for Fallen after snapping it up in the ruins (will o wisp makes this thing an unstoppable physical wall, I'll tell yeah...good counterpart to Snaptrap, who can play offensive with Shell Smash, while Fallen focuses more on whittling down opponents health with toxic or will-o-wisp and spamming shadow ball in support) Got in a terrible fight with a Marcacus (who got two evasion boosting accupressures right off the bat, the rest was a massive ****fest...) Right now I'm training around route 8, gathering up items/beating up trainers before I roll out to route 9 and Opceluid City! (please no more accupressure spamming mons...:<)

Also, I realize 5/6ths of my team have transformers nicknames...Surprisingly enough, this was unintentional.
