What are you playing?

[Office Ninja]

What dungeon are you looking for?

[Caller]

The quest log says there's a cave in an goblin camp northwest of the greenfields. Well I found the goblin camp (...and a sheep) but no cave. Circled through there so many times I filled up all my bags with CRAP so either I'm blind or that's the wrong place.

[Caller]

Found the dungeon, there was another goblin camp on the other side <.< And now after 18 levels I can finally leave the Shire. Though I'm gonna miss it after all that time there...

Picked up Infinite Undiscovery again and beat it on Hard mode. It's time for the Seraphic Gate again, and I never beat it on Normal mode because the queen is a bitch, so I can only imagine how this is gonna be on Hard. I unlocked "Infinity" mode which is basically "Don't bother" mode. The very first fight can two shot you so it's kinda like "this is fun how?"

EDIT
...OK the Seraphic Gate on Hard is easier than Normal... >.> Well, that's probably because I knew what to expect but still...

Finally left the Shire in LotRO and god raped out the ass in the Barrow-Downs because I pissed off an extended family of wights and they didn't take too kindly to it...Tom sent me to my death...; ;

And the voice actor got his song WRONG. >.<

I beat Star Ocean First Departure, and started another game. I recruited Ashlay, Phia (and her fanboys) and Erys this time. So glad to be able to reunite Ioshua and Erys. Roddick is apparently trying to put the moves on Erys, he flirts with her in several PAs, but Ioshua totally ain't going for that crap. I thought he would approve, but I guess not! Erys has several spells from SO2 that Ronyx and Ioshua don't have access to, like Starlight, Lunar Light, and Southern Cross. It's so weird seeing Southern Cross NOT lag. XD Still really love this game. I'm really looking forward to the new SO2 as well, but it comes out in January.

May also get the new tomb raider game, whenever it comes out. Yay, tomb raider. ♥

I can't get into playing Star Ocean I again, at least, not for a while. The game was far too easy. Damned broken roddick.

I got Tales of Symphonia II a few days ago. Haven't got to play it much, but it seems to be developing at a really fast pace. They just throw you into the story right away, with only small snippits of information to get you caught up on what the hell is going on. Otherwise, it seems to be OK so far. Vesperia still seems like it's the better tales game, but we'll see how this pans out. Main character is something unique for the tales series though. He's a PANSY.

Sakuraba did the music again, and he still delivers total awesome. Though it is apparent he had to rush in composing all these different songs. I'm starting to hear VERY similar tunes in different games. On my MP3, I have a hard time picking out some of the Vesperia songs from the Infinite Undiscovery ones. He's still awesome though XD

I might go pick up Mirror's Edge tomorrow. I've been really interested in this game since it was first announced at E3 and it came out not long ago. I also might pick up Quantum of Solace. I hear its the best 007 game since GoldenEye and is even the best movie to game adaptation since......GoldenEye XD

I'm playing Animal Crossing City Folk.
Got it on Sunday and I'm addicted to it. Its the best of the Cube and DS versions, plus new stuff!

I'm so addicted to it that I'm haven't played Littlebigplanet since Saturday!
I'm prob won't play LBP again till Thursday when more new costumes come out!

Btw, I also have Resistence 2, but I haven't played that lately either.

Anyway, hope someone here gets City Folk too! I don't have Wii Speak, but I'd still like to visit another
village sooner or later!

I saw the commercial for Animal Crossing.



That alone made me want to avoid the game. I've never played any of the games so I can't say if they are good or bad. But with Nintendo's recent decision to abandon their core fan base, its hard to take anything they do seriously.

In other news, PETA doesn't like Cooking Mama, and have created their own version:

Click the picture to play the game if you're interested. Be warned. It is quite graphic.


Oh, and the Cooking Mama team responded...although with love instead of lawsuits:

Mama just wants to make the nice people happy! This is the gist of a press release issued by Majesco Entertainment on behalf of Mama herself in response to PETA's recently released flash game, Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals. The release highlights the more than 25 vegetarian-friendly recipes available in Mama's latest game, Cooking Mama World Kitchen, out this week for the Nintendo Wii.

"I would never put rat in my Ratatouille," said a feisty Mama while beating some eggs. "Like any accomplished cook, I create my recipes to appeal to a broad range of tastes and preferences. My only goal is to ensure you leave the table well fed."

The release goes on to state that Mama, while not a vegetarian herself, fully supports the humane treatment of animals, with her new doggy friend Max making his game debut in the new title.

You callous, cold-hearted PETA bastards. You made her upset. She just wants to fill our tummies with goodness, and this is the thanks she gets? That's it. From now on I am going out of my way to eat animals. *eyes his cats*

Cooking Mama Responds to PETA by Highlighting Vegetarian Offerings in Latest Wii(TM) Videogame Release - Cooking Mama World Kitchen

EDISON, N.J., Nov 19, 2008

Food lover and culinary cutie Cooking Mama is a virtual chef who believes that good home cooked food, properly prepared from the best ingredients, can bring people together around the table and make the world a happier place. That's why Mama is taking a stand with oven mitts raised high against the latest PETA objection targeting her freshly released videogame, Cooking Mama World Kitchen, that shipped this week for Wii(TM) from Majesco Entertainment Company (Nasdaq: COOL). Mama wants people to know that World Kitchen includes 51 recipes from around the world, ranging from vegetarian fare like miso soup and rice cakes to international delicacies like ginger pork and octopus dumplings.

"I would never put rat in my Ratatouille," said a feisty Mama while beating some eggs. "Like any accomplished cook, I create my recipes to appeal to a broad range of tastes and preferences. My only goal is to ensure you leave the table well fed."

Cooking Mama World Kitchen includes more than 25 vegetarian-friendly recipes including delicious breakfast, dinner, dessert and snack options. And, while Mama is not a vegetarian, she fully supports the humane treatment of animals, particularly for her canine protege Max who makes his doggie debut in World Kitchen.

I beet Mirror's Edge tonight. It was a good game but not without its flaws. You need to be 100% accurate with timing your jumps to pull shit off. When you do do it it is very satisfying but it can be a pain in the ass if you're a milisecond off each time. My big gripe about this game is that its not free roaming like Assassin's Creed. The trailer made it out to be. Especially sicne it takes place in a huge city. But its more like Prince of Persia in that you have a set path that you need to take. Figuring out that path is thr tricky part.

Gun combat is just an addon and is not needed to get through the game. And because of that, its sloppy. If this were to be an all out FPS game it would be horrible. But since gunplay isn't the primary focus on the game, its easy to overlook its crappyness.

Story is so-so. Its interesting enough but its not one of those plots that drive you to the finish line to see how it all ends. And the ending leaves it open for a sequel, but its not a "omgwtfbbq" cliff hanger like Halo 2. Some parts of the story are a bit predictable.

So Kik, you wanted to know what I thought about it before making your decision. Well I enjoyed the game despite its shortcomings. It is definatly worth a rental.

I'm gonna check out the time trails and races the game has then move on to Call of Duty 4.

[Office Ninja]

im working on Mirror's Edge. Its pretty fun. Very hard sometimes when you are running and you arent sure exactly where to go. Runners vision seems to lag a bit LOL

I also picked up Eternal Sonata again. Im only on Chapter 2, but I really like thsi game. Its just a lot of fun.

Other than WoW, not much else is going on in my gaming life.

[Norfy the Walrus]

Did you notice that everything is overly WHITE? With the exception of the climbable objects that are red everything is so white and bright. XD

I heard this was intentional cause the developer wanted it to reflect that authoritarian system the city has in place. But it also works as a representation of how runners see the world. Like how climbable objects "jump" out to them more than a normal person. Its interesting but some more colors would have been nice

Picked up Fable 2. Will play it later. I am having some more renovation work done on my room so I can't play much right now.

I have the Last Remnant on the way since it has *already* been marked down. The reviews have been blasting the game for poor frame rate and pop-up textures but considering that's how I play LotRO...I'm not likely to be bothered. >.>

We'll see though.

[UltimateCloud]

I have played it for the opening 20 minutes on a friend's Xbox360... and yes those issues are quite bad. There are some huge slow downs in battle and I didn't even play any massive battles yet... but the texture pop-up wasn't too bothersome.

Despite that... What I played of it has given me a taste for the game quite bad. So I think I'll be picking up a copy when I can get some money for an Xbox. Probably won't be until the end of the month though.

[Norfy the Walrus]

Animal Crossing for the DS is racist. XD
