Man, Castlevania III is

fantastic

I fixed that for you so that the comment would better fit the theme of this thread.

Man, Castlevania III is fantastic

Indeed is is. Here's some more FFIVspoilers, from the latter half of the game (I think):

I just finished up the Tower of Babel for the second time, and now I need to go to the sealed cavern. A little exploration let me find the Cave of Summons and Sylphs Cave too. Should I be trying to get through these first? I assume they're side quests for new summon magic?

Edit:

Fuck the Sylph Cave

Just one word of advice.

GRIND. Seriously, you'll need it for Sylphs Cave. In fact, when I first played this game as a wee little lad, it was the underground caves that first put me in my place. I had to grind for hours to beat them. If you've been grinding already, or grounded your characters early on, you should be somewhat fine. Also, you know how to get off the floor, right?

I do know, but I ahdn't yet learned the necessary move to do so. I grinded 2 levels to level 35 to learn said spell, and then the cave wasnt so bad. The real problem was enemies casting beserk on themselves and hitting for crazy damage, one hit killing people. I just spammed mult target moves against them though, and it wasnt so bad.

I also got to the land of summons and beat Asura and Leivathan to learn their summons.

The former was pretty tough, but reflect helped, the latter was easy.
The 2 level grind was the only time I've grinded this whole game actually, and im not convinced it was absolutely necessary. Made the dungeon less painful though.

Onwards to the end game!(?)

Yeah, you're getting close, although

if you just left the caves

you still have a bit more to go.

I popped in GTA Vice City last night. I found myself really really bored with it. I have to say, I'm starting to get pretty worried with my Summer Gaming list. Cave Story has been great fun, but I'm close to the end. Beats of Rage I've yet to get a controller working properly with; Super Fighter seems horrible; and Vice City seems a lot less fun that I remember Vice City Stories being five years ago...

Did you end up choosing Diablo II or Fallout? The main story of Diablo II isn't hard at all. My gf and I are actually playing it together.

Good choice. I enjoyed Fallout a lot more than Diablo.
