Goddamn, what else is there?

Moar Skyrim.

Seriously, lol. I did probably just about all the *main* stuff on my main (daedrics, guilds, plat, yada etc). So I went to my second acc, started over. Tried a class I usually don't use, and just roam the world. I do quests, finished thieves guild again, but mostly just explore and look for Misc objectives or the smaller quests to complete. I remember finding some things that I hadn't donebefore, and in some cases, making the other choice (like Hircine's quest, kill the werewolf or let him live, Stormcloaks/Imperials that sort). Also had some quests and stuff glitch/not present themselves in my first game, but they worked in my second (serial killer in Winterhold, so I couldn't become Thane)

Oh, and I gave vamping a shot--wasn't digging it in Skyrim:/ Although, it made my redguard look pretty friggin badass.

And yeah, timed exclusive sucks :/ however, am just thankful it's at least only that and not completely one sided :/


I've been blowing things up in Just Cause 2. Game is fun enough, but causing chaos to unlock missions isn't for me :x. There is nothing quite like grappling a army guy to a rocket and shooting it to send it off--and him with it:D

& was playing wwe12 from gamefly, but disc was messed up and everytime I decided to play a match of wwe universe, it does this thing where it shows you the arena, fans (like the beginning of any wwe show) but it freezes, graphics disappear, sound messes up, it's just really bad. so sent it back and sent for a new one... I almost didn't though, because holy crap the controls... not so good :/ road to wrestlemania is terribly overscripted (and sheamus looks like he wants to hang himself in the ring o.0). and I can't figure out submissions for the life of me, hold x, tap x (and other buttons) and they always get out--no luck making them tap out:/ The reversal system is a joke, John Cena goes random superman just like real life, can't reverse or hit him sometimes--then next think you know match end.

& I watched Count of Monte Cristo last week, and coincidentally, V for Vendetta this week. Couldn't have worked out any better lol

I figured out how to get the savior's hide and hircine's ring on my first attempt lol...

My first account, I majored in sneak/archery for my first 20 levels, then turned to magic. by level 55, I realized that I have been playing magic completely wrong because I put all of my upgrades into magicka instead of health, when I could have just enchanted four pieces of armor to give me free spells in any 2 schools (which I did test on my second account btw, infinite lightning storm is epic).

On both accounts, however, one way or another, I lose my favorite follower, Illia. :/ She is bugged where if you dismiss her once, intentionally or not (like the Companions questline), she is stuck with generic dialogue and isn't recruitable anymore.

I did however manage to delete my first account accidentally by creating a second one. Fail, lol.

I guess I start using heavy armor and two-handed now.

I may just start a new game of Skyrim myself today (PS3). I logged an hour or two into it when I first got it a few months back to try it out, but I never went back to it, having other things that took priority.

Sorry I haven't been around lately, I've been away a lot.

I haven't been up to much in terms of hobbies, but I did go sailing on a lake with one of my friends the other day. That was pretty awesome!

I've been playing Final Fantasy IV Complete but now it's being put on the back-burner for Growlanser 4:Wayfarer of Time, which I'm quite enjoying.

beat JustCause2 yesterday, talk about over the top

and finally *found* the last search mission in MGS Peace Walker and unlocked the final mission. Love the end bit. Tbh, game story I sorta just dragged along for me, but the ending and some memoir and tape bits got me. *Oh, and monster hunter thing is kinda fun too

MGS4 is getting a trophy patch soon:}

[Angra]

I've heard about MGS4 getting a trophy patch.

I am not looking forward to trying to get the Big Boss Emblem.

[Nexik]

They put up an official trophy list yesterday, actually nothing directly related to emblems...

But they're sneaky. Instead one of the trophies is "collect all iPod tracks" and to get Snake Eater you need all the emblems D;

Wasn't a lot of trophies on that list though, 20 or so and they're mostly little things (running someone over w/ drum can). But one of the comments posted a tweet from Kojima Productions twitted where someone asked if there would be more trophies. They answered yes, some are hidden. So I'm hoping any game progression related trophies are hidden and just not posted at this time


*Oh, and I loooove the references in the trophy names

[Angra]

One of them is get all the weapons and that's the only way to unlock the Patriot, thus my dismay.

Full trophy list, and Konami says patch is up. I'll try mine in a bit, don't think I'll start the game though. Update is 517 mbs, full install is said to be around 9gbs. I haven't done full install atm, tbh I kinda liked the break instilled by the load screens...
& Deus Ex Human Revolution in from gamefly

[Angra]

Played Through Act 1 of MGS4 and snagged a few trophies.

There's quite a bit more then the ones list.

[Nexik]

yeah, I cleared Act1 and stopped for the night. Am apparently a bit out of practice with MGS4 (needless to say, no kills is not my first run through ). I'm glad they included hidden trophies / game progressions.

[Angra]

Beat Snake Eater HD today. Still as awesome as I remember.

Got about half of the trophies, but I didn't want to have to worry about following a guide to get all the food so I could just focus on enjoying playing through it again.

I'll definitely play through it again some time soon anyway.

Recently read the first two books in the Iron Elves trilogy by Chris Evans, A Darkness Forged In Fire and The Light of Burning Shadows. Now onto book three: Ashes of a Black Frost!

[mariolord]

What have you peoples been reading, lately? A few months ago I read the first two books that are out of the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss, and that was pretty incredible. Right now, I'm waiting for a short story in the same series to come out, which will hopefully happen sometime later this month.
