RPGFan Game Journal XX - Sharpened Pencil Midnight Bathouse

[Aeolus]

Cleared chapter 4 of FE:SD on Hard 5 modo.

Currently getting someone's ass handed to me by a Pegasus Rush (and they're all armed with javelins *facepalm*).

Dragon Age - Why oh why will this game not end? It was long enough already without them tacking things on to extend it

Code:

I'm speaking of rescuing Queen Anora and going to Fort Drakon. Both pointless.

So I THINK that this Landsmeet thing is about to happen now. We'll see how it goes.
I'm around 65 hrs with my character at lvl 18.
Too many good games coming. I need to end this.

sidenote: Bought a 32" 720 Samsung LCD for the living room so now all my systems are hooked up to quality tvs(The 360 and PS3 are on a 42" 1080 Sharp).
I was afraid the Wii might look bad, but I think it looks really good. I DID buy the component cables for it, so maybe that's helping.

Hey just so you know, the new TV models are in the process of coming out (some are already out, some are not).  If I were you, I'd take back the Samsung and wait a few weeks (possibly less) and pick up the new 2010 model.  Chances are it'll look better and be cheaper.

The component cables do help as well

OoT. Working on Biggoron stuff. Wondering how the HELL you're supposed to figure out where item recipients are till I realized they're marked on the map. Derp. This game has an interesting way of making you fail at things until you get good at them.

Also have this nostalgic desire to play Xenogears even though I think it is, in a lot of ways, one of the worst PSX games Square made.

Also came up with a level file format for Boolean RPG. I need to actually start working on that.

Cleared chapter 6 of FE:SD Hard 5.

Now that I have a few pre-promotes with experience I'm actually making steady progress again.

Did what I said I was gonna to and beat Mass Effect 2 today. The final decision was definitely one of those ones where I had to pause and think about it.

Code:

I chose to destroy the base, and I felt pretty good about it, since the Illusive Man obviously has an ulterior motive.

Wasn't terribly impressed with the ending though, but the last shot hopefully bodes epicness in the 3rd.

Then I played Resident Evil 2 on the PSP, and it is still very good, graphics and awkward controls be damned. I know it's a worn argument, but I do agree that the controls help add to the creepiness. And I lol'd when I was reading the difital game manual that was left totally unchanged. It even had that Capcom points thing in the upper right corner of the back page that you were supposed to cut out and send in or something.

Also: KillerArmoire, I love your signature to death, just sayin'. No pun intended either. :P

I am fully aware that the new models are coming out. This why the old ones were on sale.  I'm loving the one I got and wouldn't dream of taking it back for a difference I probably wouldn't notice anyway.
It's way better than the one I had, and that's what really matters.

As for my gaming...

Dragon Age - WOW. Some heavy decisions to make last night. I am not happy with the outcome so far

Code:

Alistair left me!

, and may have to load up the save again later to see how things could turn out different.
Back in Redcliffe village now.
