i feel like ive been playing this game forever, dont get me wrong i enjoy it but im never going to make it to any other games this summer if it keeps up.
yeah I had actually considered playing this as well. And then I check howlongtobeat.com which said that a main story playthrough (so not doing all the sidequests or too much extra exploring) would be a 79hr game. :|

Classics
1. Shatterhand (NES)
2. Sonic CD (PS3) I started but stopped on the electricity level
3. Final Fight (PS3 or Mame)
4. Cave Story (DSI) COMPLETE 6/12
5. Shadow of the Ninja (NES) only if I beat Shatterhand first
6. A Castlevania Game (Portrait of Ruin possibly)
7. Beneath a Steel Sky (PC)

Not Classics that I want to beat before summer ends
8. Clash of Heroes (DS) COMPLETE 5/31
9. Captain America: Super Soldier (PS3) I started it so I should finish it
10. Ben There Dan That & Time Gentlemen Please (PC) started but now have a new PC and no save file

While my kids napped, I beat Cave Story.
After the last save point there were four boss battles. The first one (Missery) was the hardest. The Doctor battles were easy if you are patient and focus more on dodging. The final battle is super easy if you look at the individual parts instead of the battle as a whole.
I'm not sure what is up next... probably Final Fight or a Batman game to review for my site (Brave and Bold DS or Adventures SNES)

The Twins, Yang, and Cid especially got to me, but I just thought how much of a fool Tellah was. Poor old bastard. Rough story, huh?

I have now completed the Tower of Zot in Final Fantasy IV.

A couple of my thoughts after going through the tower:

1. I realized I am a horrible pack-rat. I got some nice stuff, but I had to leave some nice stuff behind too. I really should have visited Mr. Fat Chocobo before getting on the airship. I hate having to re-buy stuff :?

2:
Tellaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! :cry:

3. Is it strange that I thought the little cut-scene between Cecil and Rosa was really cute :oops: ?

4. Kain and Rosa! Thank goodness, with Tellah gone I need that MP. Hurray! :D
Now I have to figure out where to go next? Am I right to assume it's somewhere I haven't been/been sent to before?

Ah hell, I'll fly around and find it eventually :lol:

Fly around and talk to everybody. This is where you have to put 2 and 2 together to get 4.
