I finished Metroid Prime Hunters (DS)...


I still need to beat that one. I liked it a lot (single player, at least), but got stuck somewhere around 70%. I was going to give up and check a walkthrough, but I never got around to it.

I actually thought that game looked halfway decent on the 3DS XL with the stretching enabled. Usually I don't like bilinear scaling.

About halfway through it gets you then to go back to the worlds you completed to go to areas you can now, but it gives you little indication of where to go. I actually really like going to different worlds thing, it does take advantage of the space setting to go to vastly different environments, and was a fairly good part of Metroid Prime 3, although you then need at least some indication of where to go. And I would say that Metroid Prime 3 did an excellent job at telling you a general idea of where to go, without feeling like it holding your hand.

And I did get lost in Hunters also, maybe around that part, and the reason was so stupid. To get through the last two worlds again you need the sniper alternate fire type, but finding it is hard, and that was because these two worlds had appeared on the map at the same time so it has you thinking that maybe the last alternate fire is hidden somewhere in these levels, but not necessarily the original order. The answer of where to go was looking for a door that required the "fire" type alternate fire, the door of which is fairly well hidden just from looking around, and shows up on the map as an orange door. The colour of said door on the map is the exact same colour that everything else on the map was, making it incredibly hard to see. :x

Maybe I was being a bit harsh on how it looked, after all I only played this after I beat all the Prime games, and they all look pretty good in a downloaded Wii triple pack.

Xbox 360 version of Skylanders Giants. Just started Nightmare mode, but I'm going back to my initial file to level & upgrade more of my Skylanders as well as try to complete all the time challenges, get the remaining hats from the hidden vendor and get the last 2 chapter specific achievements ( talking to all the Willikins in chapter 7 and destroying all the Arkyan Autogyros in chapter 6 )

Playing Binding of Isaac Rebirth, and of all of the hundreds of hours I've ever put into this game, I'm having my strangest run yet. I've just done Necropolis 1, the entire floor, FOUR TIMES IN A ROW, because a 5-point dice room, which lets you reroll and redo the entire floor it's on (without rerolling or removing anything you picked up), appeared on the floor three times in a row. 5-point dice rooms are very rare. I mean VERY rare, AND it requires 2 keys to enter. The chances here must be astronomical. As a result Isaac is now pretty much all-powerful. And I havent even gotten to Mom yet.

....Four times!

There is no logic in this place.

Diablo 3, a lot.
The new monk set is just way too fun, since I always enjoyed to play with classes that have burst damage. Applying exploding palm to a dozen mobs, building some damage, pressing a button and see everything exploding because of the new set bonus is just too fun for me to resist.

I bet that's exactly what I'm looking for. I remember going to every planet and checking around for new doors, and I couldn't find anything.

I thought the graphics were pretty decent, for being a DS game (and one pretty close to launch). I was disappointed that there weren't more FPS on the DS, I thought the controls in Hunters worked really well. There were the Renegade Kid games (Dementium and Moon), and a handful of watered down ports (like 007 and CoD), and that was about it.

Heck, 3DS is pretty lacking too. DOOM 3D would be super awesome.

Picked up the Gears of War Ultimate Edition and have been playing that. It's fun, and looks better than ever. I also picked up the remastered Dishonored. I missed that when it was released last gen and it's a great game. I'm absolutely loving it. Will probably pick up Metal Gear Solid V soon.

I was playing some Borderlands Pre-Sequel yesterday. Have been writing a fantasy book recently where everything is actually sci-fi, and was running through the idea of being able to digitize items instead of having to carry around everything, but I did not want it so convenient that they could just digitize strong armour at any time. I thought the Borderlands series does some interesting ideas with mixing sci-fi with other elements of a culture far below the technology level, so I thought I might get some ideas.

I actually got the idea for the story I have been writing when I was playing the Metroid games, and I was thinking it odd how a science fiction series would have thing like monsters and dragons. I was thinking about why would monsters even be a deal, like would a space dragon kidnap a maiden, and I got an idea for an interesting universe, which is so far playing out in my head like some sort of fantasy RPG. Like Destiny but with no guns. Have a few ideas of games I will be playing along with it such as Etrian Odyssey Untold, and some Borderlands 3/New Vegas which I have also been playing.

Well there, I FINALLY beat the original Super Mario, after all these years, without any warps, too. Dunno why that game thwarted me for so long, but it did.

Whoever came up with that last level was a bit of a jerk. Ugh.

At some point maybe I'll try the "Lost Levels", but after reading what needs to be done to 100% that game, just... uuugh. That's just asking for a total mental breakdown. How is anyone even supposed to figure that out??? Let alone manage to do it.

I did that a while back too, it felt really good, took a picture and everything. Although I did cheat thanks to the 3DS virtual console allowing you to make a checkpoint at any time.

Romance of the 3 Kingdoms 11. I'm finding this to be a much more intimidating game than its predecessors. Troops and supplies move in "real time", that is it might take 20 minutes to reach a neighboring city from your home base. Weapons and equipment must be manufactured. After losing a battle, the player will probably be obliged to stage a humiliating last stand at their home base. GTA 4 is looking awfully tempting now...

OMG Raiden 4 just came out on Steam, which gets a big "WTF?!?" from me followed by an instant buy.

Just...... soooooooo good. Screw other shmups for now, I have this one. It still has it's absurd "Double Play" mode, where it's kinda like a 2 player mode, except it's just one player seperately controlling both ships at the same time, and they share lives too; if one of them were to die 3 times yet the other one didnt, it'd still be game over.

And the game is just as freaking difficult as it ever was. Seriously, this is a VERY difficult game. I've so far made it to the second boss in that double-play mode. Was about ready to punch the damn monitor when the horrible thing went down THE MOMENT I DIED. I just... what. There are few things as aggravating in a shmup as when THAT happens. It's a very rare occurance. Ugh, and that boss is a bloody nightmare even in normal play.

New mode included too, which I havent tried yet.

Going to be playing this alot.

Also, that soundtrack is freaking GLORIOUS. I must have it.

And now I'm overheated from trying to process too many things at once while at the same time also doing two seperate things at once, all at very high speed. I dunno why I get overheated in the case of that sort of overload, but it always happens.

Thermal compound probably needs a more solid contact.

It's a conductive paste that goes between the heat sink and the electrical component (commonly a CPU), so that cooling is more efficient =)
