Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards:
Killed the boss on Neo Star, by way of a Darth Maul Lightsaber.

My only real complaint about this game is the lack of basic Powers. I mean, sure, combo-powers give it an edge, but how sweet would it be to combine Fire with Tornado, or Lightning with Ball?

You wouldn't want there to be too much Combo-ing, or there would have to be C-C-C-C-Combo Breakers to prevent you from owning too hard.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA)

It's been a while since I last played it, stuck at Bowser's Castle. I've raced through it (meaning lots of saving, no overdoing) and am now at the end facing Bowletta (creepy character, that transgendered Bowser

). A couple things I wanna get off my chest:

Pet Peeves
- Magikoopas and their annoying healing ability
- Sniper Bills, when the bullet doesn't hit you he will
- Gunner Guys when they shoot slow rolling cannonballs
- Boos and their absurdly high defense
- Time (or Round) limits when facing the last 3 Koopalings.

Humorous
- Chomp Bros. when they loose their Chain Chomp (jump on it when he throws it)
- Of course, Fawfull's dialogs before and after his (hard) fight

Bowletta is not so bad btw, but Cackletta's spirit is tough. I mean, the further the fight progresses the more you have to rely on focus and quick reflexes. Eep...

That's it! I couldn't remember it for some reason.

Mostly running buddy missions. Did run a side-op for the UFLL which let me rescue a new buddy. Turns out this buddy is a young punk who's mmissions tend to be more on the "those guys screwed with me" level than any ideological level. Still, he just sent me out to go steal some Hash from a checkpoint. WHEE!
Mission wise, destroyed a fuel depot where the owners were gouging the locals, invaded a scrap salvage yard which doubled as a UFLL motor pool, and assisted FLora in destroying a vehicle shipment.

As with all Resident Evil games, I'm scared poopless when I first play the game. I just received Resident Evil 4 for PS2 and the first village seriously freaks me out.

Still, I'm impressed on how the game looks! It's incredible detailed rivaling Metal Gear Solid 3. And I like the change in controls and camera movement. :CON:

RE4 is more 'creepy' than downright scary. Still a solid adventure game.

I actually have to disagree. I tried RE4 on PS2, and I did not like the controls at all. It wasn't that scary, though. I mean, I'm being swarmed by zombies, but I've done that in Doom, Half-Life, Castlevania, and then some. The only difference is that RE4's controls weren't as great as those games.

Bnd I didn't find it that scary, but to be fair, I didn't find any of the Doom games to be really scary. (Because, mostly, I know what to expect) But then games like F.E.A.R. and Half-Life 2 (I don't want to go to Ravenholm) made me shriek like a scared little girl on helium.

PROTIP: It's even worse on PC.

Far Cry 2
Looks like the story's picking up. The APR leader asked me to assassinate the UFLL leader. Well, since the UFLL hasn't hired me for a job in ages, to hell with him. Tracked him down to his mountaintop hideaway, killed his guards, and took him out. Too bad the APR decided to screw me over. Apparently, now that the APR has a license to rule the country (with me having killed the opposition), their first act is to take me dow so that they don't have witnesses. I managed to escape the mountain, probably shattering at least 5 ankles in the process (only 1 of them mine).
Met with a friend at the lumberyard who informed me that the APR has decided to kill all foreigners in the country, including Mercs. They're currently rounding up all civilians in the capital, most likely including the priest who's been helping me. Even worse, they're heading over to Mike's Bar to kill all my merc buddies. I need to save them, but I only have time to either save the priest or the Mercs. Decisions, decisions...

Goldo Golderson is dead and so is Rollie. That monster is so much easier when you've maxed out the attack power of an arcanium sword.

Fallout 3

On the verge of hitting Lv. 17, and I'm currently known as The Hero of the Wastes. This was due in large part to my stumbling across the Slaver city, Paradise Falls, and the eradication of all the Slavers holed up there. Stealth Boy and Combat Shotgun combo FTW.

Far Cry 2
Short session but a memorable one. Tried my hand at protecting my buddies at Mike's bar but death came quickly, even after multiple tries. Instead, changed tactics and tried to defend the church. Death came quickly. It appears that death is a story point so in the end I lost either way.
Not quite dead yet though. While I was being driven to a desert grave, fell off the back of the truck. Wandered through the desert but succumbed to the sandstorm. Was rescued by the Jackal... Wait, wasn't I supposed to kill him? :-?

Apparently my plan of playing both sides has backfired. Neither side trusts me and aren't too happy. The UFLL wasn't too thrilled that I killed their leader but I made up for it by killing the APR's leader. Doesn't help that the failed defense mission means that all my buddies are dead.
Anyway, UFLL guys shows up, Jackal bolted, and now I'm working for the UFLL again. The APR's takeover was extremely violent and the northern area is a hot zone. So much so that the UFLL's new leader is negotiating peacetalks with the APR. Translation: The leaders survive and we foot soldiers get executed.
Yeah, not happening. My current employer is going to have me deliver weapons under an APR flag, hopefully making it look like the APR is double-dealing and will force the UFLL to cancel the peace talks.

Killed Sergeant Kelly, got the BFG for the third time. (The first time is in Michael Abrams Office, the second time is on a hidden ledge in Hell, and the third, of course, is obtained after killing Sergeant Kelly) Now to go kill things more!

Coincidentally, tomorrow is November 15th, the same day the game takes place. I plan to have it beaten by then.

Mario & Luigi: Supsrstar Saga (GBA)

Finally defeated Cackletta after a long battle, and managed to escape Bowser's Castle before it would explode (why set a timer with everyone still in it? At least the time limit was a lousy 2 mins... Poor Boswer), thus finishing the game. Now for the DS sequel.

On second thought, let me finish these games first:

Lufia: Ruins of Lore
Sword of Mana
Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls

I have yet to properly get into those games! >.<

:EDIT: Forgot to mention: both Mario and Luigi were level 37

Doom 3:
The second Caverns area, which, I think, is the second-to-last level.

I've been trying to be very conservative with the BFG. Sure, it's powerful, and it can clear a whole room of enemies in a single shot. But ammo for it is so hard to find! I've been coming across plenty of Plasma Cells, which is nice because I prefer the Plasma Rifle over it's lead counterpart, and Shotgun shells aren't hard to come by either. But BFG ammo is scarce, and any Doom fan worth their weight in demon blood knows how awesome this gun is.

Far Cry 2
Okay, time to deliver the fake arms shipment. Defended the barge against anyone tryingto raid it. This included having to snipe a few RPG carrying goons as well as boat-riding ones.
Successfully guarded the barge. We knew **** was about to go down so I made a run to the church to warn the local underground contact, the preist. Also made a new buddy while I was there. The cease-fire ended faster than expected and I had to fight my way out through the feuding crowds. Once out, found that the barge captain had been tailed and was now getting fired at from both sides at his home dock on the other side of the lake. Made a run for it and protected him until has attackers dead. Turns out his home is also a bar. Looks like this is the southern counterpart to Mike's Bar (the merc hangout).
Did a little exploring, mostly searching for diamonds and scouting enemy outposts.
