I'm on the fifth of six (I hope) dungeons in 3D Dot Game Heroes and I'm getting through the Ice Cavern at the start of the third disc in Lost Odyssey.

I also got a free limited edition collector's copy of Perfect Dark Zero and I'm firing through that since I never played it cause I had no Xbox 360 at launch. It's not terrible but it sure isn't great either.

I finished the fifth temple and I had to go running around trying to find the Flame Sage so I could get the spell from the Red Orb. I literally had to run around to all the temples and find the old sages so they could tell me that they saw him and he went somewhere else.

Ugh.

I beat 3D Dot Game Heroes today! Yay!

Finally got myself a decent gaming PC. I just started playing The Witcher (the first one). Haven't gotten very far, though. Took a while to download and its getting late.

Give us the specs!

Ginkasa · 08-09-2011, 05:06 AM

Windows 7 64-bit
4 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4
GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Nothing super fancy, but it seems to be working well so far. I've never built a PC before, so I'm pretty excited about it.

I bought Wii Play Motion.

Mostly for the 3rd controller. But some mini games are actually pretty good.

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.

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.

Ginkasa · 08-19-2011, 01:23 AM

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.

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.

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