I forgot to mention the Scooby-Doo reference.
Given how way off base I was about the magatama, I'll be more surprised if I'm right than wrong, but I'm guessing Godot is (highlight) Maya's boyfriend that was killed when Dahlia poisoned his coffee, and was somehow resurrected. |

Think you mean Mia's boyfriend.
On a side note, it looks like all the smilies died except for that one. |

Since I started playing it on my cell phone, I've become a little obsessed with Burgertime. I've been working on the NES version a lot today. Funny
story is that apparently, all through the time my mom was pregnant with me, my dad was a complete Burgertime addict. I'm not sure what version he was
playing, maybe Colecovision? If there's one that had the same level design as the arcade, it was probably that one. When we first got it for NES when I was
around six or seven, he accurately remembered a lot of the patterns, from what I recall.

Yep. I'm not doing so great with it right now, though. I finally made it to stage 6 but couldn't quite pull off a win. I don't want to try to
memorize other peoples' patterns... that sounds like it would defeat the purpose of playing.
But I decided to go to gamefaqs to see what kinds of basic strategies and tips were there. But oh man do those writers totally fail. They both include hard to read maps for no real reason. They give only a vague one or two sentence description for each area with almost no useful information and nothing you would really need to look at their ugly maps for. This might be the lamest and funniest part of all: This is the last level in the game and also the hardest; by far. If you goOne of them says he mapped out levels seven and eight for his "guide" without realizing that the game was repeating itself. I know nothing of how to do really well on this game and I could've come up with a better guide than those two. |

I started the fourth case, and I really hope they didn't expect us to not tell right away that Diego Armando is Godot. I'm sure retarded people will say "their hair color is different and Diego doesn't have the ninja eye plate thing" but come on.

I tried out Equinox for the heck of it. I beat the first dungeon.
I tried the demo of Shadow of the Colossus. At first, I didn't think it was too bad. I asked FO how many people at this board played this game, other than Codie. She said CB007 and Masked Sheik. Masked Sheik got a headache playing it. I didn't have a problem with it until I tried climbing the colossus. Then the camera did freak out. A little bit later, the screen went blank. I guess the game crashed. So, that was that. |

I beat the first colossus. I may have beaten the second one but I don't remember. I honestly didn't hate what I played but it certainly wasn't
enough to hold my interest.

Okay, I just added GPT Theta to the archive. If I had known how much trouble that new
text to HTML converter was going to cause, I never would have used it. I had to split the topic up into four parts for it to convert and then try to recombine
them. That wasn't the only headache, either. I'll go over it again later to check for errors but feel free to let me know if anything is extremely
screwy. Crap, I already found something major...
I wish I had more Phoenix Wright or Apollo Justice to play. At Ace Attorney 5's current stage of development, I probably have another year to wait, at the very least.

Crawl and 1OOO wrote: What kind of colossus was it?
As for my own progress, I finished the first half of the trial in PW3, then went back to Mystic Quest when the DS battery went low. The two-headed dragon boss was kicking my butt the other night, so I leveled up some (also probably didn't help that I didn't have much White magic left). I went up four or five levels before refighting him, and beat him easily. I'm up to the Deku-Mana Tree.

You have a program to do it for you?Well, I mentioned that I used to let ezboard do it for me by previewing a post then viewing source. I figured that now I'd just get everything ready in Wordpad like usual (remove signatures, etc.) then run it through the converter instead of doing the ezboard trick. But it botched up the job nicely. For whatever reason, maybe I messed it up, it didn't do the italics on quoted statements so I just went back and fixed every. single. one.

What kind of colossus was it?I had assumed it was the first one, but I guess it's possible that a demo doesn't need to be a first level. Anyway, it was a big statue with a club. It might have been a minotaur, but either its head didn't look like one or I just didn't get a good enough look. Its legs might have been kind of bull-like, now that you mention it: Possibly bent the "wrong" way, and its feet could have been hooves. |

Did you fight it in/around a temple?
If you fought it in a dusty canyon, that's the first one. If you fought it by some ruins, that's the sixth one (although in the full game, it doesn't have a club and you fight it inside some temple instead of outside. All the 'bullshots' I see of this one show it outside, and often with the horse). But in either case, you fought one of the less irritating ones.

that's a very different burgertime i played.
MW4: replayed the mission for the neutral ending(recruit game), and this time i sold off all the sunders i used for the 2nd lance and changed them all to atlases. completed the mission very fast. must be less than 10 minutes. the 1st time i completed this mission,i'm sure i told twice as long, all the while wrecking half of my mecs and almost getting myself(piloting a madcat mark-ii instead of an atlas) killed. that's a really big difference. i don't think i need anything other than the atlas mecs for the later missions. i guess i could do "circle of death" with a sunder(only assault class which can turn their torso 360 degrees quickly) better than the AI(even on elite), but the superior firepower and armour of an atlas makes it much easier to handle and keep alive. played around with a few custom "wave" games and found that the bushwhacker fitted with the same weapons(but with much lower speed/armour) as a madcat still outlasts a madcat. must be its smaller profile. or maybe the AI always goes for the bigger/stronger targets first? saw: nice plot and pacing but the ending's hard to believe. if zack isn't the jigsaw killer and he's a nurse, i don't see why he's so easily threaten by a slow-acting poison. if the poison's slow enough, couldn't he just consult a doctor in secret and find an antidote by himself? i guess one good explanation would be that zack is actually an willing accomplice and the audio tape found on his body was just evidence to help him get a lighter sentence if he even got caught. at the beginning of the movie, the doc did mention that "the nurses here form a special bond with the patients". (the jigsaw killer was someone dying from some incurable disease.) |

Masked Sheik got a headache playing it. To be fair, I was playing it on a crappy TV that didn't handle the bloom very well. |

I finished the fourth case in PW3. Well, that was depressing.
I completed the investigation with Edgeworth in the fifth case. Did somebody on the staff expect the average player to be retarded or something? First Armando, now "Iris". |

And the first half of the trial with Edgeworth against Franziska, which was amusing. |

Sometimes there's more than meets the eye, that's all I'm saying.
Edit: And that's not meant as a hint. Iris isn't a Transformer.

I beat Atlena in Equinox. I had all 12 tokens for a long time but I kept searching around because I could not find the dungeon's weapon (Twin Knife). I
made a list of all the rooms I had found and where I noticed missing rooms, I went back and checked the rooms adjacent by number to the missing rooms for
hidden doorways. While I was doing, I accidentally stumbled back into the boss room because I had forgotten it was there, and had to fight Pincha with the
older weapon from Deeso.
I managed to beat Pincha after several tries. He has a simple pattern and once I figured it out, he wasn't hard. I went back into the dungeon and found another hidden room that yielded a white key. But as I suspected, all that did was open a white door between two rooms I had already been to. Since the only room I was missing was Room 09, I started checking for hidden doors around Rooms 06, 07, 08, etc. Actually, there was a subtle hint for that secret door and I did manage to find it. But I think the first time I played through this game, I couldn't find the weapon in this dungeon at all. I kept telling myself that I should go back and look for it, but Atlena is kind of a pain in the butt to navigate and the water in front of the screen was somewhat headache-inducing, so I couldn't bring myself to do it. But when playing on an emulator, I was able to turn off the background layer that has the water, so I wouldn't be bothered by it.

I've been playing a few rounds of Burgertime each night and I think somehow I'm getting worse at it.
Edit: I finally beat my high score (up to 76,000-ish but level 6 has me stumped.) I was dominating this session until that point.

new text to HTML converter... i think they're some converters at http://www.tinyapps.org you could check out if you haven't done so. wow, tinyaps still supports ron paul... === MW4: tried a few different madcat configurations for "instant action"(replayed missions i've completed but with elite difficulty) and found that the enchanced scope(a bigger zoom-in for sniping) works brilliantly with a madcat with PPCs and large X-pulsers. well, at least on solaris... i've been config-ing my madcats all wrong. they have lots of weapon slots so maxing out their speed wasn't ideal. they're made for scrapping(more offence than defence), preferably(sp?) at long range. same thing for the madcat mark ii, except it needs to be even slower as its engine upgrades cost way too much weight, and it has much less laser/omni slots for lightweight laser weapons. realised the shadowcat is not the popular mec known as "timberwolf"(clan name). it's the madcat. but according to the faqs and forum i've read, it still seems to be the preferred mec for jump-sniping(couldn't quite master this techique). replaying the mission for the neutral ending(but still recruit difficulty) again, i found that a lance of madcats were able to survive the whole mission without a scratch. still, i wasn't able to complete it as fast as when i was using 5 atlases, 2 daishis and a fafnir.

Shrek 2. It was mostly mediocre. I started liking it more around the assault on the castle, but that's fairly near to the end.
