I started Okami.

This goes back to something Crawl once said, about how no matter how good a game looks eventually the graphics are going to find themselves in the back of the player's head without something to reignite them. It's neat how any given angle looks 2D, and there's actually color, and there's even a texture that makes the game looks like it's on paper, but nothing's really changed in the three-ish hours I've been playing and wake up calls...

no, those weren't MJ12 commandos. my bad. just regular troopers/fodder but still tougher than the NSF or UNATCO fodder and one of them had an annoying(by that i mean it kills me with 1 shot) plasma weapon. the MJ12 commandos are the ones who look like alien cyborgs who later attacked me in the lucky money club. but they didn't last long against the triad members and my dragon tooth sword. found the DTS right inside some hidden place in that woman's(maggie) suite. i...

Adding to the GPT archive

Haven't played anything because of tiredness and time spent reading Harry Potter. I've got my Elebits rental that I might mess around with a little more, but I doubt I'll complete it. It's too annoying and will probably be more so in later stages. I've returned The Darkness in hopes of my next rental being FF1 for PSP or Elite Beat Agents for DS. I was also...

Confession time- part of that book produced some tears. And it had nothing to do with any character deaths. You might know the part when you reach it, but it's fairly near the end.

I got the last Harry Potter book yesterday, and read about 200 pages that day.

Today, we went on several walks and had a cook out, but we took a break in a lodge and I read about another 200 pages. I was able to periodically take breaks from reading to see the lake, which was nice.

And when I got home, I read about another hundred pages before getting ready for sleep.

I don't want to go into any detail about the story, since I think it's still time...

deus ex and arx fatalis is like the dark-side of new age bloom-ed games. i wandering in the shadows like 80% of the time.

arrrh. no manual of arx fatalis online. and since it was never popular, no one botheredto write in-depth FAQS for it which don't have spoilers. crap. http://arx.rpgdot.com/ is nice, but for some reason, i would rather read an over-sized PDF file.

I just got to the first stage where you storm a castle in Ogre Battle 64. Hooray for flying units!

I also restarted Banjo-Kazooie and I already cleared out Mumbo's Mountain and Treasure Trove Cove. This game's graphics are still fantastic. Very bright and colorful. No fog.

Also, where was the "Well, excuuuuuse me, princess" line? I guess it came from pressing somebody for something I didn't press them over.

Hmm, I don't remember, but I did always press everyone on everything to see all the responses unless I wasn't allowed to.

Well, I beat Phoenix Wright 2. It was a nice outcome, but I thought the "final boss fight" with von Karma with Edgeworth on the stand was a lot neater.

Also, where was the "Well, excuuuuuse me, princess" line? I guess it came from pressing somebody for something I didn't press them over.

Irrelevent as it is, I can't help but wonder (spoiler) what happened to Matt's face? I guess it's implied he clawed it up...

Back to Might & Magic - I restarted over on my cartridge. I've left Sorpigal, explored outside the area and got the Merchant's Pass again, and I'm at the cave where I have to encounter the 13 monster parties to win a prize. I've learned a few tricks that've helped me progress a little faster than I did when I first started playing it on an emulator. I have to run back to town to sell stuff often.

I started playing Elebits, Gamefly rental, and it's pretty vile so far. You move with the nunchuck analog, which is fine, but have to move the remote to turn the camera to navigate properly. It's kind of like playing an FPS with either dual analog or keyboard and mouse, only it feels like a chore to get anywhere.

This game is a little hard to explain. The remote basically acts as a tractor beam for moving objects, opening doors, etc. You press a button to send out a beam and...

I think I'm nearing the end of the investigation after the trial in chapter 4, and I'm talking with Edgeworth about what a Prosecutor and a Lawyer are after Psyche-Locking Matt. Oh my.

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...
