I knew you would say that. Getting a bit predictable there Foolz.

I just want to make sure Vader doesn't poke out an eye.

Sorry, man, but I don't see that happening just yet! I just updated my |OT| a little while ago after playing quite a bit more. I just crossed the 30 hour mark and finished my FIRST Faction's Quests! That was 7 Faction Quests, 5 Story Missions and 24 Side-Quests. The end of the Faction's story got me really psyched for some reason. It was almost akin to finishing a game for me! It hasn't lessened the appeal of the game to me at all, rather, it's gotten me completely eager to start the NEXT Faction's Quests! I admit I've spent a LOT of time tinkering with my character, trying out differing weapons and Spell sets. On one hand, I liked the idea of having a Minion to follow me around, fight with me and distract my foes, but on the other, putting more Points into my elemental Spells (instead of my Familiar) has yielded some pretty spectacular and DESTRUCTIVE magic! I LOOOVE the freedom this game gives you!

I think that depends entirely on how you play. If you rely on stuff you can pick up and buy alone, I think you will eventually run out of options. (Though I have seen weapons and armors with OBSCENE price tags in a few towns!) If you're going to play the game as an action game and want to challenge yourself to FIGHT better, rather than craft your own stuff, I think that was the philosophy behind limiting the common gear. Rare gear has slots to put in Gems which you can create via Sage Craft which yields all sorts of effects you probably aren't going to find laying around the field. If you are into component gathering, you can also Blacksmith stuff that far surpasses the common stuff too! I think it all depends on how much of a devotion you have to the obscure skills, rather than just trying to Melee your way thru the game!

I drove up the penis of the US. I am now in Gainsville, ewww gator country.

Not much gaming till I get back tuesday, then I finish up ME2 for the second time and I will be all refreshed and ready to go for ME3.

This is what happened outside my house this afternoon:

My imagination or did the site wig out yesterday?

I've been playing raid mode on RE Revelations. It's getting better, you can level up and sell and buy weapons, customise everything too.

I spent the last few days setting up my PC to my new 60 inch Sharp Aquos...goddamn does it look amazing playing Mass Effect 3 multi-player on this. I can't go back to my 27 inch monitor now...just no way.

Gaming-wise, as I said, been playing alot of the ME3 demo, which is splendid. Also dicking around with Mass Effect 1, and I need to get back to L.A. Noire and FF 13.5 soon.

It didn't take long to set up really...I just had some trouble getting digital sound from my pc to my reciever so i had to tinker with updates and shit, plus having to set everything up in a different spot.

Rayman Origins is really fun. The graphics are weird and awesome, the music is funky and it has great variety in themes and level design. If you found NSMBWii to be a bit boring in visual design and theme design (grass, desert, lava, you know the drill) Rayman will come like a breath of fresh air. It does not control nearly as tight as Mario, but no game ever does. The power-up system is a lot more rigid, you learn a new move in the first level of the each world. And the variety is great but not as great as the Galaxy games, but no games are.

Overall I am having fun and it really belongs in the list of the great 2D platforming games this gen: DKCR, NSMBWii, Super Meat Boy and now Rayman Origins.
