I finished Sonic 2. I had forgotten how bad the last level of that game is.

I beat the Ice Cave!

I had forgotten that there was an alternate exit, for after you beat the Eye.

After I did that, I got the airship. I made a few save states (more than one in case I stupidly overwrite one) so I can go back to Solo Black Mage if desired. Then I class changed, got Ice 3, Warp, the fairy, and the Oxyale.

Holy moly are the enemies here much more difficult than what came before! I can't beat a single Anklyo, or Great Pede. I can beat...

I went through the Castle of Ordeals (WITHOUT gaining another level) -- and I beat it!!

Aside from getting the TAIL (which I can't yet use), I also got the Gold Bracelet (it gave my absorb a big boost -- from ~16 to ~26), the Zeus Gauntlet (which I believe can be used like an item) and the Heal Staff.

Maybe the ~~Zeus Gauntlet~~ could even help out with Kary. Hmm! (Edit: I think I meant that maybe the Gold Bracelet could help survive Kary's physical...

I did gain another level.

I tried Kary twice. I don't think I can beat her now. Once again, my magic is nearly worthless against her. It does about 60 damage, max. She, on the other hand, can physically attack me for over 200 HP. I have less than 300 total.

During the first battle, I thought I might have had a chance. When she uses fire magic, it only hits for about 60 damage. And sometimes she completely wastes her turn with DARK, which not only seems to be...

We're doing laundry right now, so my "fun" options are a little limited. I figured now would be a good time to ~~book~~ (edit: boot? hook?) up Final Fantasy 1 again, gain some levels, and listen to music. I gained two levels -- I might be at level 25 now. It's time to put the laundry in the dryer. I might gain more levels before attempting anything again, since the last times I tried, I wasn't even close to winning.

Watched Death Proof (originally part of Grindhouse) on DVD today. It was an interesting experience, but probably not something I'd want to see a second time.

I've also been messing around a tiny bit with the version of Sonic 2 from the 360's arcade. It has a save anywhere feature that's too tempting for me to avoid. But then using it makes the game feel pointless, so I'm not having much fun. I think I'm also just over this game in general. I used to like it a...

What, did you too notice they put a butthole on the wolf?

You posted about it in one of the older topics. It's kind of a memorable thing. Progress, progress, wolf anus, progress... hey, back up a sec.

Or if you find one cheese that works on just about every boss.

Contra: I made it to the boss of Level 4. It's awfully of remniscent of Seven Force in Gunstar Heroes. On my last Continue he didn't hit me, then I got to the phase where he shoots the lighting bolts and, and when you shoot him he's pushed back, and springs forward when you stop firing, and he wiped out all three of my lives.

Anyway, I played Dragon's Fury for a little bit. It seems botched. The field is vertically squished to fit the unnecessary stat table to the right, and the field just seems too small for the ball. There's also a problem with the lower left exit ramp - if the ball goes anywhere near it, you're fucked, because what always happens is the ball slides down the corner, bounces off the coffin, and bounces back into the...

I didn't go into much detail in my progress posts, but it's a fairly Zelda-ish game with the gimmick that you can stop time to draw on the screen to make things happen. It's cel-shaded and highly stylized, though I think that wasn't the plan when it was first in development. Unlike every recent Zelda game, it doesn't follow the formula exactly, so it's a very refreshing experience. And wolves are neat. Duh.

It's that PS2 Capcom game with the wolf that everybody calls "art".

It seems like everyone is always talking about Okami, and I don't have any idea what it is.

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...
