I refer to her as the Datassassin, and you can certain see why, especially about one minute into this video I shot.

So how much damage does she cause with that hip swing?

'Bout 69 points. Bah-zing! Played some more tonight, reached Level 11, and my Datassassin met her match: a redheaded female soldier with a whip. Oh, how I like where this is going.

Final Fantasy VIII:
Beat the hell out of Galbadia Garden. After that, I went and got Odin, the Final Fantasy character that spits right in the face of Nordic myth. (Much like every other summon, actually)

New Super Mario Bros Wii
Got every star coin. Those special world 9 levels were insane, but in a good way.

Dragon Age: Origins
Decided to save the entranced templar by killing the desire demon. Too bad his entrancement left him in a murderous state and I ended up killing him too. Whoops. Well, you save some, you lose some. In the next room, a Sloth demon put my guys to sleep and I woke up alone in a dream realm. a Trapped mage explained the situation. I have to go to 5 of the islands to break a ward surrounding the sloth demon, hopefully saving my friends along the way. Managed to take out one, a desire Demon, but still haven't found my friends.
While in this dream state, found I had shapeshifting powers. I can become a mouse, a spirit (arcane horror), a burning man (flaming zombie), or a Golem, each with useful abilities. Neat.

Got my redheaded datassassin to Level 12. Learned a new Skill which involves shooting everything around her with all her guns.

[The Happy Locust]

Dragon Age: Origins
Using my newfound shapeshifting abilities, destroyed the 5 demons, allowing myself to save my friends and confront the Sloth demon in his own realm. Once he was killed, we were free. With the dream over, my powers were gone but at least I had my teammates back. Continued heading up the tower and encountered Uldred, the traitorous blood mage who was turning the captured Mages into abominations. Using a spell that I had collected, I was able to free the remaining mages before they were turned and defeated an Abominized... abominated.... um... The monster form of Uldred. With him gone, order was restored to the Tower and we were allowed to exit. Some of the templars were pissed that the mages were allowed to live but their leader was level-headed enough to just be glad that the terror was over. The mages have agreed to aid the Grey Wardens in the upcoming battle against the blight while the Templars must remain in their duty to keep the mages under watch.
On the way back, got attacked by the Antivan Crows assassins group. Defended them but spared their leader, Zevran, who offered himself to my side in exchange for his life. Not exactly going to trust him but a Rogue assassin could be useful.
With my new allies, returned to Redcliffe castle and had the mages send my own mage, MOrrigan, into the Fade to fight the Desire demon that had possessed the Arl's son. Killed the demon, freed the boy, and saved the city. The Arl still needs to be cured of his disease but it's a step forward for sure.
Outside of the missions, Morrigan read the Grimoire that I found and asked me to Kill her mother. Cheery... I also found an amulet that belonged to Alistair's mother. Gave it to him and he was so glad that our friendship rating went through the roof, unlocking his personal mission to go look up his sister in Denerim.
Finally, got a +97 approval with Leliani, which means one thing. She asked me back to her tent.

I'm loving this game. My only complaint is having to choose only 4 members of my party. Currently I've got my character, my templar, a Spirit Healer mage, and a Shapeshifter mage. I really want my Rogue Bard in the group and my shapeshifter but had to drop one of them for the Spirit Healer. Decisions, decisions...

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED Warm Coffee 5G

That's probably the only achievement I've ever felt was worth getting.

Dragon Age: origins
Side mission time. Headed to Denerim and met with Alistair's sister. The meeting did not go as well as he'd hoped and he got pretty depressed about it. On the bright side, it gave me a chance to harden his personality, which will make things easier later. Went to Flemeth's hut (morrigan's mother) to take her on. She turned into a dragon and proceeded to roast my team... This will be tougher than I thought.

Final Fantasy 4: The after years
Got back into this game, running the Lunarian's tale. Defeated the Mysterious girl, killing her. Returned to the Crystal castle where she showed up again. Fought her and a 2nd summon, killing her again. a 3rd appeared and started shattering the crystals. Okay...
She made a move towards the sleeping lunarians. Fusoya prayed for the Lunar Whale (a spaceship) to come for us. I raced down to the core but the crystals shattered before I reached it, unleashing Zeromus. Fought the revived demon but the battle was unwinnable. Fusoya teleported me away to the Lunar Whale and sent my unconscious self to the blue planet while he stayed behind. Golbez woke up just as he and the moon both reached the planet.

Owned Avak hard, then did it again to 100% his stage.
Next up, the jungle.

GTA IV [PC]:
Finished Jacob's delivery missions, got the 180 in darts Achievement, got to 100% like/respect with Roman, Jacob, and Michelle (not that it matters with Michelle, anyway). Did the 10 Most Wanteds of the Broker/Dukes area; working on the Vigilantes now.

[Shadowman]

Final Fantasy VIII:
Got myself the Doomtrain and Cactuar GFs. Then I went and killed an Enoyle or two, and now I have Squall's best weapon, the Lion Heart. I also got myself 100 rounds of Drain, equipped them to Squall's St-Att-J, so now every time he deals damage, he's healed for the same amount.

Saved Rinoa. Now I have to go do other stuff.

[1337W422102]

GTA IV [PC]:
Got the Cleaned the Mean Streets Achievement, met Brucie, took out that Russian dude's son for Comrade Faustin. Crap hasn't hit the fan just yet.

[Shadowman]

Final Fantasy VIII:
So I forgot to mention that when Squall gets a new weapon, he also gets a new Limit Break. Getting the weapon Lion Heart gets you the Limit Break...Lion Heart. Okay, maybe not so creative, but the attack does something like 17 hits, each one roughly at 9000 damage. That's a lot. On a related note, everyone's favorite God of Summons, Bahamut, is not under my control. Time to unleash Mega Flare on the unsuspecting masses!

WHAT, NINE THOUSAND?!

GTA IV [PC]:
Did 2 of the Exotic Export jobs for Brucie. Genetically different, baby!

Final Fantasy VIII:
Went back to get Eden from Ultimate Weapon...it was a lot easier than I thought. Broke back into Lunatic Pandora, and gave Fuujin and Raijin another decent ass-kicking. As I was about to fight Seifer (It would have been over fast, if I didn't know about Gilgamesh, I'd have beaten him in a minute flat), he cut down Odin, luckily, everyone's favorite dimensional hopper showed up to finish the job...also, he had gotten lost from the Interdimensional Rift. (Blowing yourself up to save Bartz and his gang does a number on your navigational skills)

Kicked Adel right in her disturbingly masculine ass, and also suffered from Time Compression. (Probably what it's like to do acid) Now in the past, present, and future, or Prastuture, we have to kill Ultimecia. If only she didn't have that distractingly low-cut dress...

[The Happy Locust]

Dragon Age Origins
Changed my mind about Flemeth. I'll come back to that. Instead, headed to the Ruined temple and worked my way through it, fighting more cultists, dragonlings, and Drakes. At the end of the cavern, ran into the leader of the Cultists, a psycho named Kolghrim. The short version of his story is that he worships a dragon which he claims it claimed it was a reincarnation of Andraste. To empower his dragon goddess, he asked me to taint the ashes in exchange for learning the Reaver specialization. Told him 'not happening' and killed him violently. It was actually quite silly. He was a melee character so I ran in circles with him chasing me while my mages whittled him down.
At the top of the mountain, spotted a High dragon but decided not to press my luck. Instead, reached the altar of Andraste where a centuries-old guardian walked me through a set of tests including a set of riddles, fighting a copy of my team, solving a disappearing bridge puzzle, and walking naked through a flame. Collected a pinch of Andraste's ashes and left, returning to Redcliffe. Using the ashes, cured Arl Eamon from his coma. In gratitude, he offered his forces against the blight and unlocked the Champion specialization. Along the way I got Alistair to teach me the templar specialization as well.
Travelled back to Denerim to finish some side-quests and deliver drake scales to an armor smith. Traveled back to Flemeth's hut to try my luck. I still got fragged.

In regards to the clone fight mentioned above, I think it's a bit buggy. The clone Morrigan kept using the insect swarm transformation, a skill which my Morrigan hasn't learned yet.

Final Fantasy VIII:
BEATEN! Ultimecia, in her final form, only made use of two attacks: Hell's Judgement and Apocalypse. Hell's Judgement would reduce all character's health to 1 point (And activating Limit Breaks), while you'd need very high health to survive Apocalypse. The fact that she only uses Apocalypse sparingly, combined with a healthy dose of Meltdown (Causes Vit0, essentially turning off an enemy's defense) meant I could just have Squall spam his Limit Break until she died. In other words, she made extensive use of a spell that embodied "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

GTA IV [PC]:
Dicked around, and crashed an SUV HARD. The wheel couldn't spin any more. You can check it out here.

Warrior Epic [PC]:
After getting screwed out of my rewards for two of the last of ijji's events (the summer even conned me out of getting $5's worth of paid content for free-to-play games that aren't worth paying for), I was skeptical about their new event: start playing their new game, Warrior Epic, and get 240 Gold when you make a character. (Gold being distributed on a weekly basis; Gold is currency bought with real-life money and exchanged for in-game items, ie R/L$$$)

So, I made my character (the Datassassin we all know and love), and surely enough, never got my Gold. I bought some myself since I got tired of waiting and really didn't like her default appearance.

Anyway, I get fed up and make a post on the ijji forums since their website's Help section is a joke. I submit a question to them, and get some emails from the Warrior Epic staff, saying they're looking into it, they need my account name, and they're sorry, etc. A few days later, I get an email saying the Gold's already in my account. I figure they saw that Gold was added (since I bought some) so they assumed it was in... I log into the game to verify my hypothesis. Surely enough, I got my bonus Gold. The Event prize was 240 Gold. I was awarded 740. Don't say angry letters never accomplished anything.

for what little I enjoyed in that game, Random crashing was always hilarious. My favorite was when I was running from the cops on the bridge, my van caught on fire so I bailed. Unfortunately, Niko's head leaped right in front of an oncoming vehicle and he was sent spilling like a helicopter off the bridge. Fun times.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Started the, amused myself on the trial course by seeing how fast I could beat it with 1 enemy target and all civilians hit. Fun. Defended a broken bridge then manned a minigun through a ruined city, only to get blown up and have to take the scenic route back to the rally point but only after clearing out a school.
From there, switched to the Brit side of things and worked with the PC from the first game to raid a siberian base in winter. Blew up planes, a fuel tank, and lots of heads before taking a high-speed snowmobile ride.

Psychonauts:
Finished the Asylum levels, all that's left is to get to the top of the Asylum and deal with the Meat Circus. Before I do that, I'm going to go back and get any missing mental vaults, cobwebs and emotional baggage.

Call of Duty: MOdern Warfare 2
Played the so-called "controversial" mission, which didn't really move me much as I just felt like I was in a shooting gallery. Meh. Too bad my player character got capped before the morality of his situation dug in, meaning he didn't have time to care so neither will I.
Back to playing as 'Roach', tracked down two runners in a Brazilian slum. Lots of shooting and rooftop snipers but I got'em.
MOving on to a now Russian-infested Virginia, protecting my team and a crashed fighter pilot. Got to man a predator drone for a while, which was very fun until it got shot down. Survived the onslaught and rejoined my team.

OK, well they're Serbians, not Russians. Red army alpha males, that's what counts.
Doing more Exotic Export missions of Brucie, my favourite character.

Dragon Age Origins
still getting nowhere killing Morrigan's mother so decided to proceed with the mission. Headed up to Orzammar to get help from the Dwarves. Unfortunately, a dispute over succession is leading the city towards civil war. To solve this problem, decided to back one of the contenders by acting as his champion in the arena. Before doing that, had to convince two fighters to back the same horse, one through convincing and the other through stealing back blackmail material. Won the battles, giving a big push for my candidate. To seal the deal, need to go to Dust Town and track down a crime boss.
Side-mission wise: got a dwarf girl accepted into the Magi tower, tracked down a stolen tome, delivered letters of termination to apprentice mages, got back stolen goods for the Blackstone Irregulars, and wrangled small animals.
Made major headway with my companions. Tracked down Sten's lost sword, earning his respect and friendship in a relatively bloodless manner. Also seduced Zevran, getting me into bed with a 2nd companion. Fun!

Being a genetically superior alpha male, I finished all of Brucie's Exotic Export jobs. Did the No Love Lost mission for Faustin, in which Niko had to take down Faustin's ungrateful whore of a daughter's biker boyfriend. First mention of the Lost. Due to my laptop's crap performance, I wasn't able to kill him during the chase, and he lead me to some of his friends. So I sent them all to hell and grabbed their guns and a bike.

Final Fantasy 4: The after years
Resuming the main story finally. Let's see if I can remember all this.
Rydia, Luca, and the Man in black decided to free-roam the world just as the moon began dropping meteors and generally wreaking havoc. Took a trip to Fabul where I was informed the king was missing since his own chapter. Traveled to the desert town of Kaipo where said King and his daughter were recuperating. Smacked them over the head with kitchen utensils to wake them up (don't ask) and took them aboard my ship. Okay, two teammates recovered. For my trouble, got the sylphs summon for Rydia again.
From there, dropped by Eblan, Edge's home, which is now on fire due to a rampaging Ifrit. After defeating two flaming golems, defeated the Eidolon, stopping the fire and earning Ifrit as a summon. 2 down.
From there, it's on to Troia to check up on Porom. Too bad the city was completely frozen over. Headed to where Porom's chapter ended and found him and Leonora frozen as well. Got attacked by Shiva, the ice summon. After another battle, knocked her back to her senses and earned her as a summon, freeing Porom, Leonora, and the castle at Troia.
Finally, headed over to Mysidia, where the lightning Eidolon Ramuh was rampaging (sensing a trend?). Defeated him in a surprisingly difficult battle, earning him as a summon. That's 4 down.
