Sunshine is SO CLOSE to 64, but something about it doesn't bring it up to 64's level of enlightened brilliance. Might be the long jump, I love that jump, but it's USELESS in Galaxy.

i used it all the time in galaxy. fastest way to travel.

Me too. Constantly, in fact.

I would have used it contasntly if the camera wasn't shit, and I wasn't usually walking towards a blind horizon.

Has anyone here bought the full version of Mine Craft? I've heard quite a bit about it and from the sounds of it sounds really fun.

Still playing BFBC2, stupid EA and their connection issues really limits my time on multiplayer though.

Just finished downloading all DLC onto Rockman Rockman. Took me forever finding some sort of tut that showed me what to download, although it was actually kinda obvious. Just didn't want to download shit without being 100% sure it's the stuff I want.

I also started playing Irregular Hunter X, which is pretty awesome. Just need to beat Storm Eagle and that Chameleon.

Also finally decided to ditch Castlevania X Chronicles after having played for about 2-3 hours per weekend until now. Stage 5' is fucking horribly hard. Seriously, that stage's difficulty is beyond funny. ._.

Time to start MM10.

Beat Sheep Man. Robot Master's got a nice stage, which is quite gimmicky so its difficulty's mostly based on how fast you can adept to the stage's gimmicks. Reminded me a lot of Magnet Man's stage.

Boss was kinda easy and kinda not because of a one particular random attack. Guess that's pretty cool for beginner're who're not yet used to the reaction's usually needed for MM bosses.

edit: Played 3 more stages and yeah, it's a solid Mega Man game. Going to finish Irregular Hunter X now.

I'm almost done with MM10 on Normal, just need to beat Wily's Castle. Did a quick run on Easy with Protoman as well. Easy is kinda lol when you're not new to the series, makes me wonder why it does count for challenges. Would have liked to see Protoman having his an own separate storyline. Having a butchered mode of Mega Mans game kinda only makes him look like a bonus character again.

The game's actually surprisingly hard. Dunno why people call it easier than MM9.

I played Minecraft a shitton yesterday. This game is amazingly awesome, well worth the $13 (would have paid more then $20 for it easily). It's like legos, only more advanced and creative and stuff. I accidentally deleted 5 hours of work though because I didn't understand the save system correctly, but it didn't matter to me at all starting over.

I also love the fact that when I went to /v/ this morning Notch (the guy that created the game, and the only guy working on it) was posting in threads and stuff. I was skeptical about wether it was him or not, but on his twitter he posted his tripcode and it was him. Totally awesome.

The heckj's wrong with ALTTP's rupee making system? I haven't even entered the secnond dungeon and am at 926 rupees already! That's worse than any other Zelda, as far as I can tell.

aren't rupees actually useful in that game though? unlike most of the more recent ones. spirit tracks did a good job though.

There's a few places where you have to cough up several hundreds of rupees to pogress, iirc. Also, lots of money can be spent to max out your ammo capacity in the Lake fairy fountain (and I mean a LOT)

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

I think in total you need 610 for the game, but there are way more floating around, let alone dropped by enemies or earned in minigames.

Mister ...

500 rupees for Zora's flippers, and the 110 for Kiki the monkey. Otherwise, go nuts on potions or the Pond of Happiness.

Finished Bioshock 2. Loved it possibly even more than the first. Had a good story, something I enjoy in my games. Kinda curious to see what they would do for Bioshock 3, if they ever did it, but I wouldn't be upset if they refused.

they're definitely doing a bioshock 3. there was originally talk of doing something like 6 main-series games iirc. should continue the trend and play as a big sister in the next one. ;)

started soul reaver 2 today ... it's pretty meh but supposedly also pretty short so i'm going to finish it anyway.

6 Bioshocks? Jeeze. Well, if they continue telling the story the way they have been, then there won't be any complaints from me.

Back from Florida with a crapton of games.

Bought: BioShock 2, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, No More Heroes 2, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, New Super Mario Bros. (the original for the DS, I played it but it wasn't my copy), plus a black Wiimote and black Nunchuk.

Got as a present from my brother for no reason, I love him: Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Bought and already played: Scribblenauts. I like it, but the controls suck real bad, and I got the same gripe that I have with inFamous, that I really admire what they did with the world and how much stuff you can see, but the game part, what they present as challenge, is kinda underwhelming. Played about halfway through, don't know if I'm gonna continue because I gotta download and play Mega Man 10, DAMMIT.

Capcom VS. SNK 2: Mark of the Millenium came today, going to whoop my brother at it later.

The Yellow Devil in Rockman Rockman must be the hardest of them all. Can't believe they fucked him up by making the space between his reformation TOO NARROW despite WIDESCREEN.

Well, fuck this. I'm going to collect those Construcation Packs before continuing on with Wily's Castle.

I find him one of the easiest. What I hate in Rockman Rockman is the rematch level with the Robot Masters. Way too hard with only one health bar (well, not exactly, but it's insane if you hit the checkpoint too soon).

My new game pile:

Wii Fit Plus and Dante's Inferno aren't mine, they're presents.

I have too many games to play. :\ This is actually kinda sucky because I'm afraid I'll blow through them without enjoying them just so I can play the next one. Let's hope I can invest enough time on each.

Mega Man 10 is downloaded. Can't play it right now, will do tonight. Cannot freaking wait!

Dunno. From the bit I've played I'd say the original Devil is easier than this one. The time to react to the upper lower (second from down) tile in the remake is too short I think.

And I thought I'd be having too stuff much to play through ... good thing Mega Man games are rather short.

Playing through hard mode in Mega Man 10. Not counting the time I've spent practicing boss patterns in the challenge rooms, I've played for about 2 hours and only managed to kill three bosses. For comparison, my first playthrough (on normal) was about 3 hours.

Man this game is good.

Ready to internet!

I've been playing the games I got in the indie games pack. One of them's called Space Giraffe, and even with the "slight" slowdown thanks to my crappy PC, it managed to dumbfound me to no end. Various sheep references, a Mario reference, intentional engrish and some kid saying random Welsh numbers on the title screen makes me wonder what the hell the developers were smoking.

that's jeff minter. i'm sure he was smoking something. i need to play that game sometime.
