I'm mainly after Gold, though. I've already purchased the Platinum Shield and I'm looking to go right from the Leather Armor to the Platinum, skipping whatever it was that was offered inbetween. I've explored a little bit during my fighting, and it seems the waterfall cave is the only path open right now. Oh, and I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit yesterday. Netflix's Watch Instantly thing is pretty nifty. It might be the first time I've watched the movie in it's entirety and I really enjoyed it.

By the great Robert Zemeckis, who also directed the best movie ever made. I watched the best movie ever made last night. You know which one I'm talking about. It's Back to the Future, of course. You cannot deny it. I live on the internet.

I was a little stuck on how to unstone the people in the waterfall cave, but it was just a quirk of the game where the queen only gives the item to you after you've visited the hidden palace waterway, then talked to the "fortuneteller" and "queen" one more time, no matter how many times you've talked to them already. IIRC, the waterfall cave was where I found the Water Sword. Using the telepathy spell, I found out that someone was waiting for me at the south lake. Previously, I had been kicked out of here, but I went back and got the item to use level 2 Water Sword attacks and freeze parts of rivers with it. Going back to the palace waterway, the queen reveals her identity and gives me some recovery spell with the promise of another spell if I get rid of all the whirlpools or something. I met and healed a dolphin nearby and got a shell to call him with. Freezing the rivers on the overworld let me visit the town of the Amazons as well a cave which held the Fog Lamp, which I was able to trade for the ability to use a boat and move to the next part of the game. I'm probably underleveled now because all of this stuff seemed to instantly fall into place for me. CB007's Review & GPT Archive CB007's Gaming BBS

More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	We watched the Best of Eddie Murphy SNL DVD last night, and I have real mixed feelings on it. First of all, we rented some other Best of Eddie Murphy SNL tape a long time ago, and it had the "Fifth Beatle" sketch, but they eliminated the part where he sings along with some of their songs. I figured out it was because they probably didn't want to pay the royalties to use them. Well, this time around, they had the complete sketch, and I really appreciated that they sprung for it this time because the sketch is just not as funny without it. However, there were two really inexplicable sketches that seemed like they didn't belong on there. One featured Murphy as a Jewish version of Gumby in a restaurant with a bunch of old people, and the other featured Murphy as an old man talking to an old piano player (Joe Piscopo). Seems like both of these sketches could have been eliminated in favor of another Mr. Robinson's Neighbordhood sketch and the one where he was Bill Cosby. In fact, the DVD is very short, so it seems like they could have included those sketches as well as the bad ones if they really felt that strongly about them being on there. The only thing I can figure is that they might have purposefully held back in anticipation of releasing an Eddie Murphy Volume 2 at some point. My mother had a Best of Eddie Murphy VHS tape years ago that she loaned to someone and they never returned it. It was a much better definitive collection of SNL sketches than either this DVD or the one we rented before. www.flyingomelette.com

Very, very easy to dodge her attacks. I hardly took any damage. I got a broken statue. I got the eye glasses after everyone was turned back to normal. I remembered from playing this game a long time ago that I had to use the eye glasses in one of the houses in Joel to get to the Lighthouse. I wasn't sure when I was going to need the Alarm Flute, but when I saw they were selling another one, I made sure to get it right away so I'd have it whenever I needed it. And now I did. I got the glowing lamp, which fixes the statue. Placing the statue on the altar gets rid of the whirlpools and let me into the next part of the world. I got Barrier, then when I found Kensu in disguise in the next town, and I found the Pendant for him, he gave me the Change spell. CB007's Review & GPT Archive CB007's Gaming BBS

Posts: 157 (02/09/09 3:08 PM) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I got the "Dare Devil" achievement in R-Type Dimensions. To get it, you need to beat the first 2 levels without using a continue and only using rapid fire -you can't collect any powerups and charge shots are out of the question. Stage 1 wasn't that much trouble until I got into the Bydo base. There were a few cannons that you can't destroy which fire a lot of shots and trying to avoid their fire whilst also trying to avoid all of the other enemies was tough. The two orange robots near the end were the most dangerous enemies to deal with but by staying low their homing rockets often missed and I could kill them both before the boss appears. The boss was easy. Stage 2 was a lot easier, since none of the enemies actually fire at you so I just had to avoid collisions. The boss died pretty quickly too.

I can't go anywhere else once I'm in the pit with the box unless I reload my save, and the area I'm trying to reach can only be accessed by climbing onto a box. But Fox is refusing to do that. I'm essentially stuck because the protagonist is a moron. >:U

Got the Thunder Sword from the dungeon nearby. I made it to level 13 and got the Sacred Shield. I think I still have the Soldier Armor and something better is available, but I haven't been in the mood to fight for gold. I went to Goa. There was some kind of dialogue error there where a townsperson said something like "The emperor is terrible. I'll punish anyone who speaks ill of him." Got called right back because Shyron was under attack. Fought Mado there and lost the first time because I wasn't paying attention to my health, but it was still pretty easy. That gave me the Thunder Ball. CB007's Review & GPT Archive CB007's Gaming BBS

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic now. We watched SNL Best of Will Ferrel Vol 1 last night. It had some good sketches (but we already had the "cowbell" one on best of Christopher Walken), but for some of them I didn't even know what the joke was supposed to be. Like of the people in the hot tub.

The world feels so alien compared to typical RPG's of the era and it's very immersive. I'm a little mixed on the dungeons. I do like that there's a lot of action and you have to be on your toes, but it's annoying to keep changing weapons all the time. Especially when everything just respawns as soon as you leave the current screen. The dungeons are mostly just mazes of varying complexity and all look kind of the same, so you spend a lot of time just fighting and trying not to get lost while finding treasures and/or the exit. Bosses are pretty rare. It's not quite as bad as those games that have the randomly generated layouts, but giving these areas some personality and side tasks wouldn't have hurt.

Posts: 12352 (02/09/09 7:35 PM) Lunitari Mage Moderator More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I don't think it's quite complex enough to go through that much trouble, at least from what I've seen so far, and from what I remember of the final areas. By the time I actually mapped a dungeon out, I would have already found the exit through careful exploration or dumb luck. I've never really been much of a mapper. Probably the one time I was making a serious effort was the original Phantasy Star, but I don't remember why I stopped playing that. Edit: I know nobody pays attention, but it's taken me a ridiculously long time to get GPT Phi uploaded. Finished at last.

When I noticed it had an "outtakes" special feature, I wondered what would even be the difference - and of course, there wasn't much difference - it was mostly more people laughing in the middle of sketches. www.flyingomelette.com

Posts: 15594 (02/09/09 9:29 PM) Administrator More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I've never mapped the mazes in Crystalis. I think it'd be nearly impossible (or at least very difficult) because the game doesn't go one screen at a time like the original Legend of Zelda, or most first person RPGs (Phantasy Star, Might and Magic, which I did map). So, it'd be difficult to measure distances. I once mapped Super Metroid, which also scrolls smoothly, but it has a built in map to help line things up, and it was still difficult to keep it accurate. (Though part of the problem is that the maps are not "snapped" to the grid) Last Edited By: Flying Omelette 02/09/09 9:32 PM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 12352 (02/09/09 11:35 PM) Lunitari Mage Moderator More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I finished the game tonight. It's too bad that I can't savor experiences sometimes, I just end up rushing through like a maniac. I checked a FAQ for a couple of the items that I really had no clue on how to find, but I remembered most of it from before. It's not a perfect game, but it could be such a joy to play, sometimes. I'm certain this won't be the last time I revisit it. I'm not sure if the problem is that I don't enjoy modern games, so much as that I don't think modern games are even videogames as I know them in the first place. In terms of dungeons, my favorite would have to be the huge one where you have to fight the four main bosses again while rescuing the wise men. Each floor was very different, the enemies were challenging, and the bosses were much harder than the first time you fought them. The final bosses of this game are kind of duds. I think Draygon is supposed to be more of a puzzle, though. The tower computer was just stupid-easy. The little bit of insight you gain while climbing the tower is interesting, but everything else about that was kind of weird. It's like they don't want to just come out and end the game after you beat Draygon, so you have to fight a dozen waves of identical robots first. It always amazes me when I watch the credits of these games, just how few people were involved. CB007's Review & GPT Archive CB007's Gaming BBS
