The first "boss" of the second level of Castlevania Bloodlines gave me some trouble. The one who can teleport and the room fills with water. I drown before I can hit him.

I'm making progress in Paper Mario and Harvest Moon.

It took a bit for me to get going on Paper Mario because I hadn't played it in ages and couldn't remember where I was supposed to go. Once I got back in the groove though its been smooth sailing, and I'm now at the start of Chapter 5.

Harvest Moon is going well too, but I have a feeling I won't finish the game by summer's end. I'm going for as close to a perfect game as I can get. Unfortunately, that also means that its still spring of the first year and my daily workload is already insane.

I'm having fun with the game (how could I not? I adore Harvest Moon), its just that each game day takes quite a long time in real life, so my progress, though steady, is quite slow.

Of course, it doesn't help that I was playing my Dreamcast last night to try out my new monitor, and I made the mistake of playing Phantasy Star Online for the first time in several years. Many hours later I looked up and realized I'd forgotten how addicting that damn game is.

Its hard to work on the summer list when I keep derailing myself with other games. :lol:

You ever beat him? I can't even hit him cause he just teleports when I get near him...

Wouldn't dream of it. The reason why I love the game is for its spectacular silliness and ridiculousness! So if you like a game with a naked catgirl raised in a convent, then what could be so bad about a game where a bear that carries a bird in his backpack?
don't tell anyone, but I'm sort of an N64 hater. And haterz gon hate.

Meh, your loss. You are missing out on what is certainly one of the finest Platformers ever created.

I've always considered the N64 a really weak platform as well. I know it's got it's share of quality stuff, a huge following, and a lot of people's childhoods were built off it, but I just really don't like that system. None of the big titles appeal to me at all. I can't even name one N64-exclusive game that I think is a really good game. It's just not for me, I guess.

it's just got to do with my gaming lineage. I went from SNES to PS1. I had a friend who had N64 and I was just so not impressed compared to my PS1. PS1 felt more like a SNES2 to me. Y'know?

I do. Same thing with me (only I went from Genesis to PS1). My friend had an N64 and the PS1 library just seemed to blow it out of the water. Back in the day I thought some of the N64 games were kind of fun, but once I started really looking into the size of each library and amount of quality titles that each console offered, I was just like "oh wow".
