It's never been a competition, but I don't think I have the time to match his current stride.

I think we're tied, but I expect you to inch ahead soon. Summer is RPG season for me. I'd like to replay a few classics this year like Phantasy Star, Dragon Warrior, Shining in the Darkness, and a few others. This will grind my list down to a halt. I may attempt Eye of the Beholder as well.

Not quite. With the exception of notorious quarter-munchers like the Midway shooters, Metal Slug games, and Magician Lord everything else was played/replayed until I could finish it on a dollar or two.

While it's still an effective way to level up the game has been rebalanced so you don't need to do this. You are given HP increases at regular intervals.

Ys I & II will appear on this list again...

I'll get to it soon! It's been in my DS the entire time I was playing I & II. When I needed a break from I & II I'd fire up III and play with the previous owner's save file. Looks like a quality port.

"May attempt"?

"MAY ATTEMPT"?

"MAY ATTEMPT"?

Bone, I am disapoint! This ain't no bippity-boppity! You kill the joe, you make some moe'! You WILL be attempting Eye of the Beholder this summer. We start as soon as I finish Daikatana...


...BITCH!

I'll probably (hopefully?) finish a few Summer Challenge games and then switch to EotB for awhile. It's already sitting in my SNES.

It's actually the next game on my list that I will make a major push in. Like I said, I just want to beat Daikatana first. But hopefully next week I'll be starting it up.

$2 = 8 credits = credit-feeding, at least to me. That's fine, I usually have a few games like that on my list too, and I have no problem with that. I was just explaining to Luke that, if he adopts that strategy for a string of games, he could catch up a bit since he brought it up.

Just bringing over some games from the Summer Challenge list - wrote about them there...

Wait Dsh, did you grab spyro during that glitch too or did they re-enable the download again? I know I have it on my vita but only because of that glitch

I downloaded it during the "glitch" - but I think they since have enabled it again, right?

No, I don't see it in the Vita store.

Every time I hear "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" makes me think of my own quote (someone probably said it before me though) "Beauty is in the eye if the butt holder" which isn't as funny as Marx's "You're only old as the Woman you feel".
