Halo. Decided to get off the LAN and play some online matches.

GOD THE LAG I DON'T EVEN

Craploads of fun though, when someone starts an all rocket launcher match...
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Finished Dragon Age: Origins and started again with a female elven mage. I'm on a quest to see as much of the world as I can and get comprehensive coverage of the codex. Also I want to build an effective party this time so I don't have to knock the difficulty down.

Also playing Borderlands and started to enjoy it a bit more. Got to a point where I have a few good guns under my belt and I can rain corrosive death on bandit scum.

Time slips away in seconds while playing these games. I am hoping to keep these going until after christmas.

F that game, it will eat you.

Picked up Crystalis for NES to trade to someone, I end up loving it and wouldn't give it to my friend. Who knew I would like an NES RPG?

Phantasy Star Zero and the DS Umihara Kawase game. I should be playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Torchlight, but other stuff has been distracting me.

I'm back to DoomRL. Just managed to complete all the challenge modes. Now I'm trying to complete the shotgunnery challenge on ultra-violence, and then I'll try beating nightmare.

On a bit of a latter-day Sega beat 'em up binge this weekend. Zombie Revenge now. If making zombies tap with the figure four is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Ridge Racers on PSP, a better version of one of my favorite racers of all time. Owning s PSP and not grabbing it is a crime.

During study breaks, I've been trying to beat Fatal Fury Special's single player mode on difficulty 8. The AI is ridiculous in a lot of old fighting games.

I'm also enjoying some of these gamebooks. They're basically Choose Your Own Adventures with some rpg elements. So far, I've gone through House of Horror and Ulysses Ai's first three books (The Diamond Key is really good, imo).

Chaotix.

Bloody hell, that was easy. 'Cept for the part RIIIGHT before the final boss, that was just annoying.

Still wish I didn't suck at the special stages, the bad ending is depressing and firey.

I've been playing Bayonetta when I have extra time. I love it. However, I think my best console purchase in a LONG time has got to be the Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection for 360. Worth the $30 alone for just Medieval Madness and Funhouse and there are 10 other fun machines outside of that. I only wish it had Star Trek: the Next generation (My favorite of the wide body machines). Let's hope they do a Bally version in the future.
