RPGFan Game Journal XX - Sharpened Pencil Midnight Bathouse

[Ithunn]

I put DQ8 on the backburner. Beat KH2 and lo and behold, someone bought 358/2 for me. On Day 22 of that, but not really liking the mission objectives. Haven't been exposed to much of them though yet.

Hopped back on Lost Odyssey after beating Infinite Undiscovery and my characters are at 46 now. I haven't done the next Numara arc.

I have been playing Halo 3 online. What.

[Tooker]

Think I'm getting close to the end of Brutal Legend.  Got a ways to go with Bowser's Inside Story, though.

[Ithunn]

So I don't like the mission requirements in 358/2. It's like, fetch and go without simultaneity.

I started up a Human Warrior in Dragon Age: Origins today. I really messed up my previous Elven Rogue character. I'm taking my time this playthrough:P Just finished my second chat with Flemeth and Morrigan.

I started playing Ragnarok again. NOT, however, entirely sure how it works anymore. For instance, eating akhegs are supposed to convey an ability of some sort but I forgot what. Maybe psychic powers? Anyway, it's one of the more interesting Roguelikes. It has flood the world with lava spells and gobs of skills. And a perma-save feature that you can use once every... 500 turns, I think (Valhalla, the commercial version which is now freeware, had multiple difficulty settings I think. 500 turns, 1000 turns, or ironman mode).

I also bought a houseplant that's almost as tall as me and it's been getting progressively wider throughout the day. Debating whether to move to dorm or what.

Ragnarok Online?

I used to play that game a lot. I used to play as a Battle Priest (Odin server) and a Whitesmith (Lydia server).

Cleared Hero 3 mode in Half-Minute Hero.

God, I feel good at videogames.

Ragnarok Online?

No. http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/games/ragnarok.htm

Anyway I was gonna play that but I got distracted and starting making a game in game maker where you play as a shark dong and have to impregnate sharks and the basic mechanics come from Ikaruga. Also I have the munchies.

I think that plant I bought was sprayed with somethin' funny.

Also I seriously wish I was making that up. I need to get a life.

(if you're curious, it should be done by wednesday).

--- edit---

Actually did play Ragnarok some. Kept dying. Mostly from bears.

Uncharted - Just started Chapter(?) 10.
I wonder about the trophy system for this game. The first time I played it, I was not online and didn't have the trophy support update installed. A few days later, I DLed the update. It's still not giving me trophies(despite finding 20 relics so far), though. I'm going to go ahead and assume that I screwed up by not getting the update upon first starting. I would probably have to start a whole new game if I wanted trophies. Am I right? If so, that sucks.
Anyway, enjoying the game very much. Getting better at aiming, but still get tired of the excessive shootouts.

[Gen Eric Gui]

Well, Uncharted is basically just "Platforming section -> Shootout -> Platforming section -> Shootout" and anybody who told you otherwise was lying.  That said, it's the high level of quality in both of those sections that made that game fantastic.

And who cares if you're getting "official" trophies that you can show off?  As long as you're getting the mini ones that give you direct in-game rewards I don't think it should matter either way.

Got burned out of RPG's so I went out and bought Lego star wars for the 360.

Damn fun game, 60% completed, 100 gold bricks so far...

Yeah, yeah, I realize the insignificance of trophies and such. But have you SEEN how barren that box down there looks? lol. Plus, the in game rewards do not interest me. Just like movies, I have no real interest in all the "making of" and "behind the scenes" stuff.  Ruins the illusion of the game and/or movie for me.

The game is exactly what you say it is, and yet that's not the vibe I got from the reviews and comments I read beforehand.
I'm totally enjoying the game. I was just expecting a bit more variety(read: less action, more puzzles).

Even though I have (and played the crap out of) the GBA versions of the games, I decided to be a whore and get Riviera and Yggdra Union again. Started up Riviera, and I am in love all over again with the game. <3

I dunno about Riviera, but Yggdra Union PSP has a ton of new content, to the point that it's almost a new game.  So don't feel bad about it.

More Ragnarok. Was doing pretty well till I got some weird teleport curse and destroyed my sword. Which was -1 at that point. Balls. Then a berserker killed me.

Anyway gen you should play this game you'd like it:

Therefore, it is quite possible to begin the game as a male sage, and end the game as a lycanthropic female Fire Giant conjurer with 14 fingers, 3 eyes, and the ability to form giant paper whales using origami.
