Snickerd00dle's Summer Challenge 2012 - how is it going?

[o.pwuaioc]

VVVVVV is definitely awesome. If I hadn't already beaten it, I would have put it on my list for sure. One day I'll get all 20 trinkets (up to 14 now).

I popped in Tomb Raider Chronicles for a bit and beat the first level, but unfortunately I'm having issues with the sound cutting out in certain places. I missed the entire cutscene at the end of the level because the dialogue suddenly went out. Pissed me off. I'm not sure what to do about it. The disc (which I bought a couple of weeks ago) doesn't have any major scratches, and yet...

I guess I'll try to clean it up and hope for the best. I know some people don't care about story and such, but I do, and it'll drive me freaking crazy if I can't get the dialogue.

As for FFIV, I'm in the cave of summons, which I stumbled upon on my way to the sealed cave.

I went to fight Asura, but of course I couldn't beat her. I found out why though, so I'm gonna hang out in the cave of summons for a bit so I can beef up Rosa a couple of levels and learn Wall. I want those summons!

2. Diablo II (PC)
3. Donkey Kong 64 (N64)

11. Xenogears (PS)

I'm gonna start in about 9 days with Final Fantasy Adventure.

Finally started Metroid Prime 2. My challenge is underway. Of course, playing through Metroid Prime 1 first might have been a bad idea as I am already tiring of 3D exploration.

[BoringSupreez]

1. Sonic Generations (PS3)
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PC)
3. Pokemon Red (GB)
4. Red Dead Redemption GOTY Edition (PS3)
5. Kirby's Dreamland 3 (SNES)
6. Killer7 (GCN)
7. Hitman 2: Silent Assasin (PC)
8. Max Payne 2 (PC)
9. Portal 2 (PS3)
10. Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3)

I'm on the last boss of #1, the last level of #8, and I've just started #2 and #10. MW2 and Deus Ex 3 both give me good first impressions. Despite all the hate people love to give COD, I'm finding MW2 to be just plain fun. DE:HR has a really nice soundtrack in addition to being so much better than Invisible War.

#4 and #9 I have yet to even buy. I figure waiting will only bring the prices down.

Maybe you can help me figure out this one part. I'm lost with no idea where to go.

[Ack]

Well, having just completed Donkey Kong Country 3 about ten minutes ago, it's time I move on to Super Mario Bros. 3, which is number 8 on my list. I'm playing it via the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World cart. I'm making it a general rule not to play more than one of the four SNES games on my list at the same time, so I won't be starting either StarFox or Breath of Fire until this one is finished. In the meantime, it's about time I pop back into Alpha 3.

Ten hours into Final Fantasy 4 and I've just finished infiltrating Baron castle. The only thing I have to say is:

Palom... Porom...

[OldSchool_Boy]

Painkiller:Black Edition
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Max Payne 3
Psychonauts
Stacking
Saints Row The Third

Max Payne 3 was fun

Next is Saints Row The Third which I just started after buying it off the Weekend deal. I have the middle island at 100% completed and the rest seems to follow pretty easily.

I beat Final Fantasy IV. That was a tough final dungeon and boss fight. My attacking mage kept dying in one hit, and sow as useless, and I came close to having my party wiped out several times, having only my white mage or one of my fighters left to try and revive everyone.

Overall, I enjoyed it, but I still think it's overrated. Of the 3 Final Fantasy games I've beaten (3,4 and 9), it's probably my least favourite.


EDIT: Didn't want to double post, so I just through I'd post my progress on Resident Evil 4 too. I just rescued Ashley after killing 2 bosses in fairly short succession. I always seem to either have no ammo or no healing items int his game. I hope I don't screw myself over for later.
