When you've played so much Guitar Hero that your fingers bleed, you know something's not right...!

Exteel [PC]:
So Exteel is on Xfire now. Groovy Logged some time and reached Level 9. Bought some more repair points. Increased my Movement speed twice.

Guitar Hero III
No updates in the forward direction, but with one exception, I've managed to get 5-stars on every song up until the Desert tour, of which I have 2 5-stars already. FYI, this is all on hard.

After 3 days with no in-between posts, I feel vindicated in posting again.

Doom 3
After making it through my first teleporter jump, tracked Bertruger through Delta labs 4. I'm only one or two levels away from entering the Hell level.

Guitar Hero III
I now have 5-stars on every song up until the Japanese tour. On the japanese tour, managed to get a 5-star on "STricken", but can't seem to replicate my success on that song or the others in that tour.

Chrono Trigger:
Anyone who denies that this game is a classic is a liar and a Goddamn Communist!

I just made my first trip to the year 600AD. Sooo...I'm 1/1000000000 of the way into the game...woo.

Is that the SNES one? Man, I remember getting nowhere in that game but loving it.

Yeah, the PS1 "Sequel" was Chrono Cross. Not as good.

I've beaten this a couple times over, but I cheated both times.

Blade Runner [PC]:
After having seen Blade Runner: The Final Cut in an art house/repertoire theatre in Montreal, I felt compelled to finish the game. I'd been stuck in Act V for quite some time.

Turns out I was doing the wrong thing. I thought I was supposed to go meet Lucy at the car shop and run away with her (get the Lucy ending), but it turns out that I was wrong, as I couldn't find her at the car shop at all.

I went to the kipple, killed Crystal before she could retire me, got the power supply for Sadik and got the 'happy family' ending, with McCoy being a Replicant and running away with Sadik, Clovis, and Lucy abord the moonbus. I loved the part when Gaff watches the moonbus leave and drops the origami panther.

The game is amazing, incredibly truthful to the movie and uses characters, settings, situations, and ideas from the book that never made it into the film. I'll definitely be playing this game again, as it has more than 10 endings!

EDIT:
I got another ending!

Rather than join the happy Rep family, I retired Sadik, boarded the moonbus and listen to Clovis read as his runtime ended (I loaded again just so I could shoot him). I left the moonbus, was informed by Gaff that I had 'done a man's job, sir,' and was informed that Captain Bryant wants to make me a real Blade Runner. Origami Panther and Origami Dog endings down... all the rest to go.

Guitar Hero III
Getting nowhere on the Lou's inferno tour on hard mode (I simply can't seem to move my right hand enough to play 16th and 32nd notes in this game). Still able to get a 5 star on 35 of 42 songs on hard mode though.
Moving on to Expert for now to bone up my skills on the early tours.

I'm pretty sure some posts were lost. OH well.

Doom 3
GAME.OVER!
Made it through site 3 and into the excavation caverns, only to run into the Cyberdemon. When faced with the ultimate expression of demonic evil, do what comes naturally. RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!
With a few shots of the soul cube, the demon was felled and the world was saved.

NEW Super Mario Bros:
Made it to World 3. My God this game is awesome!

Pokemon Diamond:
Made it to Jubilife City.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin:
Met "Wind." Not much else! I leveled up once...and...stuff...

Spider-Man 3 (PSP Version):
Finished the Prologue mission. Bruce Campbell is still hilarious. Here's my favorite:

(While explaining Wall Crawl)
"What would Spider-Man be without his Spider Powers? He'd be...Man. Is that what you came here to play? Man 3?"

Otherwise, I'm just webslinging around New York. I'll start playing for real when they stop making Webslinging so goddamn fun!

Edits! Edits galore!

NEW Super Mario Bros:
Half-way through World 6. It's like they took all the best parts of past Mario games, then crammed them into a single game.

Pokemon Diamond:
I got to the Oreburgh City Gym. Goddamn rock Pokemon...have to be powerful against my Fire-type starter...

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin:
"Wind" wants me to...something about a butcher? I dunno. I pretty much cleared City of Haze...but this is Castlevania, nothing is ever totally complete.

Spider-Man 3:
Stopped things from exploding...all in a day's work for you're friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Webslinging seems to be a bit more fun on a handheld than it was on a console.

CRYSIS
Started game. Missed the landing zone and had to fight my way back to it. Along the way, completed 2 side missions; One involving a GPS jammer and the other involving breaking through a KPA checkpoint. The open-endedness of Far cry is still present and welcome. I took the long way around by hijacking an enemy boat and taking it for a quick ride. After hijacking a jeep and breaking through another checkpoint, joined up with my team and found a boat... on top of a mountain... surrounded by snow.... What the...?

Pokemon Diamond:
Beat the Oreburgh City Gym Leader using only a level 7 Budew (Who, at the end, was level 12) and a Shinx. How's THAT for humiliation?!

New Super Mario Bros:
Cleared the second Fortress in World 6.

Merry Christmas, gang!

Blade Runner [PC]:
VKed Gregorian, but I still can't retire Zuben yet. Can't remember what I'm supposed to do.

UT3 [PC]:
Got to Act IV.

Super Mario RPG [SNES]:
In the Ghost Ship. Man, the Dry Bones don't want to freakin' die!

Spider-Man 3:
Defeated some mutant lizards ravaging Central Park. Peter thinks Doctor Connors might know something about it. You think?!

Meanwhile, I kicked Harry "Massive Head Trauma" Osbourne's ass, and got the...

Wait for it...

...Wait for it...

BLACK SUIT! I have to take it off every so often, but the fighting capabilities on this thing are nuts! A fully charged jump is about as high as Venom's Monster Jump from Ultimate Spider-Man. (I WONDER WHY!) Combo's on it aren't anything unusual (Max of about +4 at my current stats) but it can switch between enemies easily, so I never have to stop button mashing.

Pokemon Diamond:
Took down the Eterna City Gym Leader.

Kickn' ass on the Necris' planet. Just cleared the CTF in the multi-levelled ruins.

Crysis
Chased after the monster that caught y teammate. Didn't catch up in time and only found the corpse of my teammate. Well, time to move on. Worked my way through to a small village. After much run'n'gun fun, made things go boom. Those guys sure didn't expect me to drive off a cliff and land right on top of them, WHOOP!
In the village, found my way through enemy HQ to get some more info and then freed their hostage.
From there, it's back into the jungles for some more enemy hunting. :grin:

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin:
Beat some Cleopatra wannabe. I also mastered the Pie weapon. Both hilarious, and vital to getting the best ending!

Pokemon Diamond:
You know the kind of woman who obsesses over "Cute" things, and dresses their pets up in stupid clothing? I am in a town of that. I hate this city so very much. I have, more than once, fantasized about using my Monferno to wipe this town from existance.

New Super Mario Bros.:
Got the World 4 Fortress.

Spider-Man 3:
Chased Dr. Connors into the sewers. Then I took a break, and did a few minor missions to get some new upgrades.

Guitar Hero 3 for Wii
Although i mainly suck at this and am just at group 3 of medium difficulty I just completed The killers - when we were young on hard - I'm dead chuffed. (tried it on expert - only got to 20%

)

Drift City [PC]:
Reached Level 47 after a hell of a long time. Did the only two missions available for Level 47s. I should have used a backup car for the first one, as I would have saved gas. I switched from my RX-8 to my Eclipse to save gas on the trip from City 1 back to City 4.

Guitar Hero III
Since I can't seem to complete the last 2 songs on Hard nor can I complete the last 8 on expert, decided to go back for 5 stars. 5-starred all but 3 on Hard and 5-starred the first 10 songs on Expert (although barracuda and the seeker still elude me)

Super Mario Galaxy
Cleared pretty much everything in the Terrace dome. Won the ray surfing race, beat the flip-switch area, completed Good egg galaxy, HoneyHive Galaxy, and defeated Megaleg to earn the Grand star.

Crysis
Worked my way through the jungle only to be hounded by a helicopter. Managed to bust into an enemy base, find a missile launcher, and take down that whirlybird. Cleared out two more bases while finding data for the Excavation site.
REached the excavation site and very stealthfully killed every living thing in site (them chicken's had it coming. B-)

). Made it into the excavation site's research dome just in time to watch an archeologist experience a massive chill (he and the entire room became icicles) after an artifact powered up.
Left the site with my data and made it to a landing zone, but only after driving a boat over a waterfall, destroying two enemy convoys, and being hounded by another damn helicopter.
At the LZ, had to clear the landing site of enemies. The enemies seem to have aqcuired nanosuits similar to mine but those cheap Knockoffs were no match. Hopped onto my helicopter and left the scene.

Chased off The Lizard. Now I have to kick ass all over New York so I can find out about both The Lizard AND Kraven the Hunter. The way Spidey was talking the Kraven, it sounded like a team-up almost happened.

So far, that makes two domes and about a dozen galaxies completed. Defeated Bowser in the star reactor by making him fry his own ass on the reactor core. fun
