Ginkasa, which Phenom chip did you settle with? Also, who manufactured your gpu? Looking like a nice rig. I've got 4 gigs of some really good OC'ing RAM at 1666 mhz but I'm not sure about timing and everything to have it run efficiently if I get another 4 gigs. I bought my rig almost a year ago, parts sourced from newegg. It was my first build from scratch too. A fun experience.
Gonna wait until a good sale.

I beat Castlevania Portrait of Ruin over the weekend.

My power went out one night, so I played OoT 3D until my 3DS died, then switched to PoR. It's a game I've been playing off and on for a long time...so it was cool to finally kill Dracula and finish the game. :)

Took me 19 hours total.

Next up is Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. My girlfriend bought it for my birthday last year. I've been putting it off until I finished Portrait.

I just finished Deus Ex! I chose the Helios assimilation ending. I've been reading the Bioshock Rapture book a little, as well as getting to Fontaine's area in Bioshock 2.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

Finished Fontaine Futuristics. I found and rescued all of the Little Sisters. I found myself using a lot more of the gene tonics than plasmids. The plasmids I really use the most are electric bolt and security command. I think Electric Bolt is more effective for stopping and managing enemies than incinerate. Personal opinion, but that's how I play.

Fired up FFIV: Perfect Collection again to try and get The After Years finished.

I completed Yang's tale but apparently I also have to do Ceodore's again because I accidentally overwrote Ceodore's tale's clear data. Whatevs. Should be quick. I don't remember it taking more than a few hours.

I'm now on The Witcher II. I like it a lot better than the first game so far. Also, its absolutely incredible to look at.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I bought the first one for 4 bucks on Gamersgate.com as part of a sale they were having. I should be replacing my video card very soon so I should be able to handle the crazier games like Witcher 2, Crysis 2, and Metro 2033 in DX11 mode.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I finished Bioshock 2! Yay! I got both parts of the good ending (if you can put it that way).

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I started Sin & Punishment 2! :D

Finished 3 levels on Easy so far. It's more fun than expected... it's the Star Fox we haven't had since 64.

Edit: beat Bowser in SMG2. Still lots of stars to get though.

I'm still playing the campaign of Portal 2. I finished the rooms and I got past the plot twist... and now the game is SO boring. I hope that doesn't take long, because I can barely stand it.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I finished the third disc of Lost Odyssey yesterday. Since I technically don't have class until tomorrow I guess I could try and get some more out of the way tonight.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I did a dungeon and I actually took some time to go exploring in Lost Odyssey, whether it was to look for more dreams to read, or a treasure quest or two. It's nice, but sadly it won't help me get closer to finishing the game.

Now that class started who knows how much time I'll have to finish this during the semester.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

Some of the levels of Sin & Punishment 2 are awesome. I've had 1 really frustrating boss so far, that will be a disaster on normal/hard.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I might just want to try and get some more stuff done in Lost Odyssey tonight before the REAL work starts piling up. I had to set all my calendar reminders for my online course quizzes and the like and it looks like a barrel of monkeys from here until December. I think I should try to enjoy what fun I can have while I still can.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I finished Lost Odyssey! The credits haven't finished rolling yet, but there should be a little more than 53 hours clocked in on there.

The ending was really long too. I think from the second the last boss battle ended to the credits it was 20+ minutes. I mean it's not MGS fare, but long enough when it's not expected.

EDIT: At the clear save it clocked me at 54 hours, 28 minutes.

Re: Game Progress Thread 2011
 

I think I'm fighting the last boss of Sin & Punishment 2. It's on easy, so no big deal. After this I'll try a normal run and I'll choose the other character. I'm also looking forward to being able to switch character.
