Giggity giggity goo!

Somehow, I feel much pride in that set-up line.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Reinstalled the game on a whim. Completed the first mission and escaped from the Ballas. Got nailed by the cops though. After wards, walked into the police station, grabbed some body armor, and found something completely unmentionable in the station shower area. I can't say what it is, but let's just say it's purple and surprisingly strong when wielded as a weapon.
Took on some side missions. Didn't get far in the ambulance missions but completely cleared the firetruck missions to make myself fireproof.

The Dual-Ended Dildo is made of WIN. The best place for the Ambulance Missions is Angel Pine. It's so small that you'll have them all cleared in 20-30 minutes!

If I remember right, that's where I beat the paramedic missions last time

NIGHTS
Completed the game on Helen's quest with at least all C ratings. To unlock the battle with Reala, I'll have to bump up my scores on Will's quest. Still, much fun was had by all....

Splinter Cell:
Going through the Kalinatek building, saving a bunch of Cubical Jockeys from the Russian Mob.

I was using an invisibility cheat to get through this. Unfortunately, because of the nature of light in this game, Sam Fisher became invisible even to me. Which kind of sucks because he's got a REALLY cool suit. Like Solid snake, but with baggier pants. It also made timing jumps harder, sinmle I couldn't accurately say where I was standing. All in all, while it is useful for some things, it's harmful for others.

Thankfully, I don't seem to need it for this mission. Huzzah!

GTA:San Andreas
Thought I'd put in a few missions for a quick game. 2 hours later and I was still playing. Forgot how addictive this game was.
Completed two more missions, including the drive-by mission, taking Ryder to rob the fast food joint (and failing humorously), stopping an enemy drive by, and beating up crack dealers. All in a day's work.
No other accomplishments but putting time into taxi missions.

Crysis
Raided the village and saved the hostage. Jester took her to safety leaving me to fight a pair of tanks alone. Joy... But guess who won! :grin:

Met with Prophet at the cavern entrance, though having to fight off no less than a dozen KPA soldiers on the way there.

Project Torque [PC]:
Managed to beat the test for Rank D. Currently Rank D-I. Accidentally blew 7k on my Level 1 car. Obtained my brand new Level 2 car (kudos to the MMOsite event) and its orange vinyl. Bought it some paint, some rims, and a spoiler. I'm not going to be playing this game long enough to afford the other cars, so I'll sink my ingame cash into pimping out this car... and increasing its performance, of course.

Startropics
Made it through the first section of the Alien ship and collected both the Shooting star weapon and the first of the Magic cubes.

GTA: San Andreas
More missions and more side missions. What else can I say?
Well, if you want specifics, been building muscle, helped OG Loc track down and kill his "cell mate", Completed both the Home invasion and the train robbery mission with Ryder, and tagged more areas, only have 14 of 100 though.

Get them all, use a guide if you have to. Snagging them all early makes the rest of the game a lot easier. Hell, I'm halfway through San Fierro and right now I'm at home in Grove Street to stockpile weapons.

BEATEN! Nikoladze is dead (I sniped him!), a nuke was safely removed from next to Washington DC, and America is safe once more!

Now I have to get Pandora Tomorrow....

The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time [N64 - emu]:
Thanks to the XBCD drivers, my Xbox 360 controller now works the way I want it to in Windows. The triggers respond as buttons rather than an axis, the right thumbstick is now more than just a throttle, etc.

I'm at the gate to the Hyrule castle. The kid just gave me the egg, and the thing she says before giving me the egg was priceless. It warranted a 'giggity' and a screenshot.

BioShock

Completed the game for a third time, earning the Seriously Good at This and Tonic Collector Achievements in the process. B-)

Burnout Paradise

Set a Showtime record on every street in town, and did the Annihilator burning route which earned me a new ride.

Reached Level D-II. I more to go and I can get some new parts for my car. I want those Level D-III bumpers and the skirts. They look so sci-fi/badass. In terms of performance upgrades, I think I'll get the ECU first.

I don't remember exactly, but she says something about how she's been incubating some eggs just for me, or something like. I don't remember, exactly. But it involved the girl and her eggs and I found it to be funny. :oops:

...unless if you were asking about the configuration I mentioned.

I'd say!

Zelda: Ocarina of Time [N64]:
Met up with Zelda. Gathering 3 magic items, eh? Sounds familiar... (coughALTTPcough)

Went back to the village to talk to Saria, can't find her. I know she's in the Lost Woods, and I'm thinking I'll have to play the Ocarina to the Skull Kid to find her, but I don't know her song.

Grand Theft Auto: San andreas
Only had an hour to play so didn't do too much. Went for the Taxi and pimp mission bonuses but fell short. Took a side trip to the airport, snuck in, and flew around town in a private jet. Only problem is I forgot to put my landing gear down before trying to land. Whoops. The plan caught fire and I ran, only to see no explosion. I walked back to the plan thinking it was still flyable, but the moment I touched it, BOOM! It tricked me. :-x

Took on another mission for Sweet and met Cesar Vialpando while winning a lowrider contest through dancing hydraulics.

Exteel:
About 80% through level 19. At level 20, I get the rank of Technical Sergeant.

For some reason, I'm already planning my third mech, which I don't get until level 30. It's going to be a healer, so I'm going to make it a speedy little bastard. To account for the lowered firepower and speed, it'll have to have higher HP, speed and dash speed.

I'll call it BluCross, partly becaufe of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (Healthcare coverage! HAHA) but also because I can only have eight letters in a Mech Name.

EDIT: Level 20 Tech Sergeant. Woopwoopwoop!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
I forgot how totally addicting this game was. Any game that can pull me off of Crysis and Call of Duty 4 is worth praising.
Mission wise, acted as getaway gunner for Big Smoke after some deal with the Russians fell through. OG Loc is now a big superstar although I had to defend territory outside the party.
Running errands for the cops now, but got a girlfriend out of the deal. So far Denise progress with Denise is positive. Maxed out my SMG skill and nearly there with AK-47 skill. Territory wise, about a quarter of the city is now Grove-owned and growing Up to 26 tags spraypainted. Completed the taxi missions, but getting nowhere on ambulance or vigilante.

Guitar Hero (Wii)
Slowly progressing - in Career I've completed easy, and medium except the final boss, in hard I've done up to first boss duel but stuck there.

In Free play I've done about 18 tracks on hard and scraped through my first one on expert (When we were young).

I had a good laugh watching my sister thrash her hubby at it after her 3rd go - he'd been trying to play for an hour or so :lol:
