Just finished a two-hour game of SC Broodwar with my dad and my brother... my first one in such a long time. That game will never get old.

Currently playing Vagrant Story
I can't believe I already defeated the 2nd (or 3rd, depends how you count them) boss in such a short time. Glath explained the weapon system to me, which is basically what I was failing at everytime I tried this game. Hopefully I'll be able to beat it this time. When you get the gist of it, it's impressive how actually simple it is, just not as obvious as other RPGs I've played. In Final Fantasy games, you know you have to level up, upgrade the weapons, and you'll reach the end easily. In Vagrant Story the difference is that you can't escape the weapon/battle system. Anyway, I'm skipping most of the cut-scenes because I watched them countless times before, which makes the game progress faster too. Only thing I have to blame is the time it takes to access the weapons menu and change them. One would think that given the importance of changing weapons during the game, they would make it more accessible. I can't understand why they didn't include it in the shortcut system =F |

Lately it's been a mix of Phantasy Star Portable and Dis-peep-e-a: Final Fantasy. Not so exciting, but oh well.

It makes me proud Shinji to hear that you are playing the greatest game of all time! If you let it get under your skin you will be messing with that weapon system forever! I must have put about 200+ hours into that game making 100+ all class weapons and perfect armor! that game is so rich in detail and atmosphere that it's always a joy to play.
Castlevania got finished so on to the next one! Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. |

Well that's "Portrait of Ruin" finished! on to the next Castlevania game. Even though it's the same crappy premise (destroy Dracula) and the castle never seems THAT different in each installment, I'm still Castlevania addicted.
On to "Dawn of Sorrow" wonder who the end boss is??? |

This is my old faithful, a Hagane Wakizashi with a Power Palm and three Braveheart gems, that I beat my first playthrough with: DP: 135 PP: 110 Class: Affinity: Type: Human: 109 Physical: 40 Blunt: 0 Beast: 109 Air: 8 Edged: 15 Undead: 109 Fire: 23 Piercing: 12 Phantom: 109 Earth: 91 Org: Dragon: 109 Water: 50 Range: 3 Evil: 109 Light: 109 Risk: 2 Dark: 59 Attack/STR: 41 Attack/INT: 5 Agility: 7 Wakizashis have a fairly nice flow when you are trying to Chain with them 3 Braveheart gems were giving me +60% on my chance to hit, so even when I was getting a little too carried away with my Chains and my Risk was getting too high, a lot of my next hits could still connect with the enemy. It should also be noted that although most of my Affinities weren't very good, Light was all I needed against the final boss. So this really was a weapon that could carry me through the game, but it wasn't as effective against some of the mid-bosses as I wanted it to be, or some of the side-dungeons that get unlocked during the second playthrough. Now, moving on to more serious business. This is my no-room-for-improvement weapon, a Damascus Rhomphaia with a Spiral Hilt and three Arturos gems: DP: 280 PP: 57 Class: Affinity: Type: Human: 190 Physical: 190 Blunt: 20 Beast: 190 Air: 190 Edged: 20 Undead: 190 Fire: 190 Piercing: 20 Phantom: 190 Earth: 190 Org: Dragon: 190 Water: 190 Range: 5 Evil: 190 Light: 190 Risk: 3 Dark: 190 Attack/STR: 64 Attack/INT: 52 Agility: 15 I'm very proud of this weapon, and it was totally worth going through the game on a second playthrough, and getting more acquainted and abusive with the Workshop.

Super Castlevania IV on the SNES! Struggled through that damn game to be rewarded with the shortest ending I think I have ever seen. I know the castle always crumbles but 5 seconds long ending movie? c'mon! I think I'll throw my SNES out the window.
And why are they always dressed like barbarians in the old Castlevania games? if I were going to fight evil I'd at least cover my legs y'know? (all those bat bites) I prefer the attire of Alucard and the other later Castlevania game characters. |
