The gaming diary

I played 10 minutes of Resident Evil 4 on the PS2 through the TV tuner on my PC. I got some screenshots then someone sent a message on msn and it messed up the tv tuner so I stopped playing. I was playing full-screen and msn made it come out which put the sound out of sync. But that was less than a minute after I saved so I decided to stop.

I'm having trouble finding the enthusiasm to really get into a game these days.

i've been playing duck dodgers on the n64, very fun platformer.

Fallout 3 for about... 4 hours. Quite fun, just a little bit tired now.

Playing some Fallout 3. It's very well done in my opinion, like a good Oblivion with GUNS. There a few annoyances, my major gripe being health, or lack thereof. I don't want to have to go sleep every time I get into a fight.

I've been playing Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Protoman lately.  Does a decent job of trying to keep the game new with Liberation missions, but, well, its still Mega Man Battle Network.

Fallout 3, trying to think whether I should do the Reily's Rangers mission or not. Does anybody know if this mission is a setup? (i.e getting ambushed by mercs, car bombs, super mutants, or the rangers shoot you) But before I do that, I'm getting everything I can at Vernon Square.

The mission where you save the members at the hotel? If that's the one it's not a setup but it's a challenging mission.

K thanks Barracuda, but I did something stupid and spoiled the story for myself. Nothing to bad like what President Eden's identity is(rabblerabblerablemakingithardtoreadspoilersthathesasupercomputerspoilersendingyoumaystopavertingyoureyes) and how bad the endings are, in my opinion.

Woo! Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is a blast to play! Only got about 3 or 4 hours in, but man... ITS FUN!

This one has been on my short list for a while now. Glad to see it get some positive feeback.

Still playing Star Ocean: First Departure. I just died at a completely random and ridiculous spot, when 1 single enemy (not a boss, mind you) cast 2 spells back-to-back that took a total of almost 4000 HP from every member of my party. Argh. That puts me back to my last save, probably an hour to an hour-and-a-half ago.

Are the save spots that far apart?

[BadEnoughDude]

Nope. I don't save that often, especially when I'm not fighting excessively hard enemies. This one came from nowhere.

Fable 2. Just finished the Crucible.

I quite enjoyed that one. Took me about 9 hours, I think. But then there was a catch with the final boss battle which dragged it out and I kept failing so I gave up.
