The Gaming Diary: Chapter 2

[bombatomba]

Since I pretty much just murdered my laptop, I gingerly moved my C64 out of the way and turned on my gaming PC for the first time in a while.  Playing through the Week 4 objectives with everything cranked up to 11.

I was stuck at a convention all weekend and I spent much of it playing 3DS Smash Bros against others and knocking off challenges. Was finally able to beat Classic on Level 9 difficulty and get rid of that challenge. Only two left to go and one of them is play 50 hours which will obviously just happen eventually. Just gotta get the rest of those Smash Run items for my final challenge.

Had a lot of fun playing with Robin and Bowser Jr.

Crabby you ALMOST sound like an achievement hunter in that post.

EDIT
No wait that is what you sound like...
Carry on.

The King of Fighters '99 (PS1) - Was in the mood for a fighter and this is an excellent choice so far

I love achievements. I totally understand the draw.

As you can probably guess, I'm still putting all of my free time into:

Dragon Age II - Still awesome. Yes I can see some of the cracks Psycho was talking about, but the fact that this is the last Bioware game I'll play until I get the new consoles is still sustaining my extreme enjoyment of this game.

Persona 4 Golden - I liked this game a ton, don't get me wrong. Having said that, I want it to be over already. Contrast that with Persona 3, which I finished in about four weeks, in about 120 hours, and was begging for more at the end. Here, I'm about 65 hours in (played over a span of about eight months), and I know I'm really close to the end. I don't care what ending I get even. I just want to roll them credits.

Started playing through Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords on XBLA

Despite having not played it since i finished it in 2008 on my DS it really doesn't feel like it has been that long. So much of it feels so familiar.
I know i liked the game when it came out but i didn't realize it had left such an impression on me.

By contrast though in 2008 i only finished 12 games. In recent years i have knocked out nearly 200 games in one year.

Of course even then the games were being played like they had achievements:

Finished up Castlevania DS

I think i am still going to work on getting 100% of the souls anyways. I am at over 80% and i think the hardest ones to get at this point are going to be the iron golem(specifically because it only takes 1damage per hit) and the skeleton gardener(because it sucks).

Beating the Boss Battles right now. Under 5 mins gets you all kinds of goodies. Shouldn't be hard since my level is ridiculously high...

Plants vs. Zombies (WP7) - Vasebreaker is still a pain in the ass

Plants vs. Zombies (WP7) - Starting I, Zombie Endless now.

So I'm kind of an idiot. Didn't realize Dragon Age: Inquisition is going to be all platforms. So all that stuff about DAII being the last Bioware game I'll play for a while was untrue. On the bright side, there is still nothing out there that is making me feel left out for not having the new consoles.

I've been playing a ton of Civilization Revolution. I also played some Mount Your Friends which is rather entertaining as well.

Project Spark - more or less ran out of things to do. Still looking for votes if anyone with an Xbox One or Win8.1 PC/Tablet is willing to help.

Blacksite: Area 51 -  close to finished with the online.

Puzzle Quest - Not sure how far i actually am.... I'm just shy of level 15 though

I have lost entire weekends to that game.

What do I have to do on my Xbox One to vote for you?

As have I. The Civilization games have always been bad addiction but in a good way.

Finally beat Persona 4 Golden. Got the normal ending. Yay!
