Game Progress Topic Lambda

The last few episodes I've seen of From the Earth to the Moon have been a little anticlimactic. I had initially assumed that the series was going to end with the first moon landing, but that happens about halfway through the series. There was one episode that I thought was terrible, which dealt with a rivalry between two reporters covering Apollo 13. To make it worse, they were fictional. Waste of time that was.

Part of the deal with that episode was that they wanted to make a...

Game Progress Topic Kappa

I played 45 minutes of Blue Dragon and it wasn't too bad.

It plays very traditionally so far, which I like at the moment. It's really a blast from the past except for the visuals.

You see enemies before you fight them, so you can avoid or initiate a back attack. I think there's eventually a way to defeat weak enemies outside of combat. Combat itself is a simple turn based system except that you seem to mainly fight using your living shadows. This image...

I'm finally nearing the end of Trials and Tribulations and it took a twist that I wasn't expecting. I feel like it was kind of staring me in the face the whole time, though. Despite everything, I'm probably still going to be playing Apollo Justice when it's released, I'm just too curious about it.

If anyone is interested in buying PW3, send me an e-mail, I never play any of the PW games a second time.

Time to kill the old beast.

No new game progress, although I probably will play some more Mario tonight. I do think it's very good, my favorite of the 3D Marios at this point (around 20 stars collected). It plays more like one of the 2D games than I really thought possible. You're sacrificing some of the fun of exploration that was present in Mario 64 and Sunshine (once you pick a star from the level select, you're pretty much on a set path to that star), but I think...

Game Progress Topic Eta

Creating this topic in honor of my LotR character looking slightly better than homeless for the first time. He's at level 16 now and I've lately been enjoying collecting silver and barrow-iron ore, making them into ingots, and profiting off of other players with money to burn. I find the whole crafting aspect of the game to be addictive. I'm thinking about having different characters with...

I'm kind of gameless right now and it's pissing me off a little. I sent back Okami and Odin Sphere at the same time. Usually I play the second game while the first one goes back. I decided that if I could remake Sonic 2 into the perfect game, it would be this.

The whole game takes place in Chemical Plant Zone. That stage is turned into one of the pinball levels that loops infinitely so you can play pinball and listen to the music. When you want to beat the game, you just...

I've got to catch up on the archiving again.

I just started playing Breath of Fire II. Something I had been planning on even before the recent discussion of it. It's recently become available as a Wii download, so I went for it today. The intro does a really good job of drawing you in. The translation is poorly written, we all know that, but it seems a lot more interesting after trying to figure out the Garland paradox in FF1 yet again. There's also the fact that my...

I picked up Elite Beat Agents after several days without playing it. I was still stuck on the final stage from before. I decided to warm up by replaying several of the earlier songs and finally moved on to trying to beat the game again. Results were mixed at first. After about 15 attempts (I was losing before the song was over, so maybe 20 minutes of play) I finally won, but I did poorly enough in one segment that I didn't get the best ending. After watching the credits, I made one more...

HA HA! Beat you to it this time! RapscallionBond009! 171 posts is more than enough for you.

Creamed the Dragon in EO. He was a total joke compared to pretty much...uh...nearly every other major boss. I only saw him do 3 things. Volt Breath, Corruption, and Normal Attack. I can counter each of these easily. Volt Bolt gets nulled by LV5 AntiVolt, Corruption...

With Fable defeated, I decided to work on FF6 Advance for a while, reaching South Figaro with Locke, Terra, and Edgar. I still change Edgar to Kain and Locke to Cecil like I did the first time I played the game. The names default to proper capitalization now if anyone besides me cares.

Somewhat to my surprise, I'm actually not bored with this RPG I've already completed more times than any other. And for the most part, this is a good port.

Many lines of the original...

I've been getting back into watching Futurama. Cartoon Network recently started from the beginning again, so that's been nice. I've now got this idea for a YTMND I'm too lazy and untalented to make involving the Whalers on the Moon song and the episode of South Park where the kids launch an Orca into space and it dies on the moon. Someone probably already did it, anyway.

I've played some more Forza, got to some tracks that I really like. I see that there's a...

Game Progress Topic Omega 2

The end of the ezboard world is taking too long. To avoid having to spend days archiving a single topic, I'm starting a new one. Whether it's the real ezboard finale, only time will tell.

In Partners in Time, I completed Prince Bowser's Castle. As you might be able to tell from the name, it takes place in the past. There's a reference to Yoshi's Island and the attempt to kidnap the babies, too. It's a starter dungeon, but it was pretty good.

The controls get a little...

The Gold has about a month left here and these topics tend to run about that long. So post well and make sure history never forgets the original Port Saiid Forums!

I finished the last Thieves' Guild quest in Oblivion. The one where you steal one of the Elder Scrolls. It was quite a challenge. You have to sneak through some well guarded places without being seen, go through dungeons heavily populated with vampires, skeletons, and ghosts, as well as some minor puzzle solving. There are several points of no return... shooting an arrow at a particular target to open a door. You only have one arrow, so if you miss, the quest can never be completed. Most...

I just had to go back to the latest version of Quicktime since apparently iTunes doesn't work at all without it, and I don't want to switch to another music program right now. This means I probably won't ever be able to play Riven, but I'd probably not have the patience for it anyway.

I haven't had a chance to play anything tonight. Late shift today, early shift tomorrow, such is life. I'm just starting this topic so I can kill the old one soon.

I just beat Agahnim. I still didn't know how to tell when he's going to do the lightning versus the other two attacks, but I didn't get hit with it anyway. I just looked it up to be sure.

Happy New Year and such. Would be happier if I didn't have to get up at 6AM tomorrow (actually today!), but it was still somewhat enjoyable. I feel like the last year was one of the most eventful of my entire life. Maybe that's why I feel so worn out. Here's hoping that 2007 is nice and mundane.

I am not getting anywhere in terms of gaming lately.

Game Progress Topic: Epona is starving

Link never feeds her or takes care of her. Just lets her go in dangerous unfamiliar places and demands that she returns immediately when called.

I've been traveling Hyrule far too frequently. I had to go back for those underwater bombs, and I also unblocked a river by using bomb arrows. I'm now inside the water temple, and it seems a tad confusing.
