I got the rest of the Prime books today and have been reading through them, and it's actually not that bad! The first issue was like somebody blowing off a bunch of goofiness, then came to their senses and sat down to write something a little more serious. Granted, when I first saw Kevin I asked "The hell is Jimmy Olsen doing in this???" But the artwork of the second issue wasn't that good, and the following issues have been making him look like less of a dork. The...

I kind of figured after complaining about the boss rehash in Bonk's Adventure, I would have to justify how I can think Gaiares is a good game. But it's an issue of context. I don't think the two games' situations are very similar at all.

1. Like I said, there's the issue that Gaiares's rehash prevents fluking. Bonk's Adventure is so easy that beating bosses through flukes is not an issue.

2. Would I have preferred a new boss in Gaiares...

Well, like I said, it keeps you from fluking past the bosses.

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Okay, the first five bosses are pretty easy to me (the fourth one may be the hardest), but why a boss rehash???

The sixth boss is the big amazon girl? Well, she is beatable. There's no sense in skipping her. You'll have to fight her again in the boss rehash, so you have to be good enough to beat her without it being a fluke.

I can't find any original game progress posts of mine that detailed my strategy, though.

Continued From the Earth to the Moon up to the first moon landing. It's still excellent. Watched Spirited Away. Also excellent.

Played some more Hit the Road. It's okay but so far I prefer the more linear gameplay style of the episodic games. And the voices still haven't grown on me. And the controls are a little awkward. But it's an interesting experience anyway.

Is there something I'm missing on the sixth boss of Gaiares?

I feel like using that level select code to jump to level 7, considering I've beaten everything up to the sixth boss without dying twice.

Dollop has really stylized cartoon eyes that appear and disappear and...

Finished Quagmire in Equinox. Quagmire's biggest challenge are the rooms loaded with spikes, but overall, I don't think it's as hard as Atlena. The problem with Quagmire is that at first it might seem impossible to get the dungeon started. Most of the overworld entrances lead to rooms from which you can't really go much farther because of locked doors that require keys found elsewhere. But there's one particular entrance that leads into the heart of the dungeon, and if you...

I still can't beat the sixth boss of Gaiares. But at least this round, I was actually able to make it to her without dying and with a full 3-hit shield and the Giga Beam. Well, I still died against her. Then I used all my lives figuring out how to make it around the wall of enemies to get to her, and got it to so I could actually get to her over half the time. Then, figuring out how dodge her attacks, even when she freaked out, but when she threw the three shells after that freakout,...

We beat Kael'thas Sunstrider in WoW, making us 6/6 bosses in one dungeon and 4/4 bosses in the other. Major milestone. Now we can move on to the second to last dungeon. (Well, not quite yet. We have to get more people keyed by killing those last two bosses again.)

Those two bosses (Kael and Vashj) were like Mike Tyson-difficult compared to the other bosses in those dungeons. In a sense that's appropriate, I suppose, since they're the final bosses of not only those two...

I was worried at first, but Sam & Max Hit the Road seems to work just fine. The guy on ebay sent me a version from Europe designed to run on newer computers (but maybe not Vista, you just never know). I was expecting just the original old version because I knew that worked on my emulator.

Well, if you explore the contents of the disc (at first my computer didn't know WTF it even was, said audio disc) you see that it's got a thing to run it through modern Windows but...

I've started watching the "From the Earth to the Moon" miniseries on DVD. I'm only about an hour in but it's been extraordinary so far.

I read the first issue of Ultraverse Prime.

Well, um, there really wasn't much to judge. I think it took me about six minutes to read the entire thing, and feels more like a teaser than an actual first issue. It opens with Prime beating the shit out of the coach at a school, claiming he touched a girl. Then Prime stops after he breaks the guy's arm, turns, and realizes he frightened a bunch of girls. He tells them not to be afraid and he's their protector and stuff....

Yeah.

The first 10 minutes (the fox bashing) was very dull, but hey....I can imagine they wanted to get their bitterness out there.

I also thought there was too much Hermes stuff. That annoyed me more than anything else.

The sequel isn't too far off:

I made another go in Gaiares, and actually got my butt kicked, and not just by the end of the sixth level. I actually died a few times in levels 4 and 5.

If this is a sign of what the seventh level is going to be like, it ain't gonna be pretty.

I was bored for the first 20 to 30 minutes but it got pretty awesome after that. I'm such a nut for time travel paradox type stories that I was thrilled by how they went so far beyond ridiculous with the time travel.

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...
