Looking over the blog here, I re-found my Scheduling post. (Figuring out many games to play in such short time) Just for shits n' giggles, let's see how that turned out!
Wolfenstein 3D :
Got all the way to Episode 6, and then hit a brick wall. Episode 6 is pretty damn beastly, just have to get back into the swing of things.
* Devil May Cry 3:
Huzzah, beaten! =D Something productive did come from this list!
* Devil May Cry 2:
Been too lazy to put on PS2 HDD. Beating this by 2010 will be no challenge though.
* Sonic 3 & Knuckles :
S&K did come out on XBLA, and I do own it. That said, haven't had the chance lately to sit down and play it for fun. Full run is definitely on the to-do list.
Comix Zone :
. . . fucking hard. . . D: Need to just put more time into it.
Gunstar Heroes :
See Comix Zone. Needing to draft a second player for co-op assistance. . .
BlazBlue - Calamity Trigger:
Yeah. . . it was pretty much as amazing as I'd expected. Maybe even a little moreso. Still playing.
Operation Darkness:
Yeah. . . BlazBlue happened.
Disgaea 2 :
Still need to get back to this.
Hellboy: The Science of Evil :
Still need to get back to it.
Knights of the Old Republic :
It waits to be returned to. . .
Mass Effect :
Kotor still unbeaten. . .
Perfect Dark: Zero :
Went ahead and found a copy! Not that great, but not really as horrible as I'd expected. Back burner material.
Perfect Dark:
Looking pretty amazing in terms of the updated textures. Sadly though, still not out. =(
Ok, so next time! My plan for attacking my Unbeaten %!

>= 50% D:
When we last left this blog, I was mulling over different things with the possibility of a job looming on the horizon. Well, things all worked out! I am (yet again) employed with Salem Keizer Public Schools, providing IT Support for its staff~! While it's not programming, it's still a very tech related job that I enjoy and am paid to do. All things considered, I'm pretty happy about all this.
Thus with monies and paychecks comes new goodies. I've finally carried through on one of my long term planned gaming purchases and gotten myself a Wii! With it, I'm now actually able to play those Wii games I got before, let alone some goodies I've missed over the years it's been out. (i hear there's some in that vast sea of crap)
I know many gamers who look at their Wii with disgust, saying how it has gathered dust in the past number of months due to nothing worthwhile being on it. I can most certainly see their argument (I agree that most of the library is crap cash-ins on a successful system and gimmick) but feel I'll be holding the console in a different light.
For me, owning a Wii will be the first time that I (legitimately) own any Nintendo console. Part of the excitement in this case is going back and playing NGC, N64, SNES, and NES titles that I missed out on not ever owning a Nintendo system growing up. Sure there have been emulators I've used for some titles, but it doesn't have the same feel as legitimately owning a game: be it on cart or a digital copy.
So that all said, the Wii is definitely providing me a whole new venue of enjoying gaming that I've missed out on the past decade or two. What's the inherent problem of this?
New games!
In my rush to make use of my new toy, I've gone out and purchased a new Wii title or two, as well as GameCube games I'd wanted before. My unbeaten games % has risen above 50%, and this is simply not acceptable.
Tune in next entry, when I lay out my plan of attack for fighting back against that unbeaten %!
