I'm trying to work on my pile of shame before the PS4. But i'm stuck on the 2 games on the top of my pile. Skyrim and Fallout3:GOTY. Skyrim i'm Dragonrending Auldin until he comes down then hacking away. But no damage. Should I be using a certain weapon? I'm 146 hours in, and I kinda just want to finish this off. Fallout3 im on mothership Zeta, on this observation deck waiting for this holographic message so I can progress. How do I trigger it? I've put 60 into this one and just want to power through this DLC to finish Fallout3 off too. Please help Bombers.

Just picked up Bionic Commando for PS3 after a year long absence. I was going to try to get past the hella frusterating part I've been at for like a year. And what do you know, I did it. I read a few reviews and faqs to get aquainted with it before I tried and put it down again. Everyone seemed to think it was "good but hard". I feel like its broken, the save points just kill the fun after a few levels and I have to put it down again until I'm desprate for something to play. Like months and months later. Well see how it goes this tim. I was wondering, what are your impressions of the game? I loved and finished the NES one. And that was hard. This just seems frusterating.

Dear Lara,

I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with you. Your athletic, smart, sexy...a little dangerous. We've had some good times. Jumping off cliffs, shooting random tigers, finding ancient artifacts not seen my human eyes for centuries. Panning the camera to check out your butt and blocky circus boobs.

Buy your also aimless, you don't seem to know really where your going most of the time. You really don't help, you just kind of jump against the same wall over and over again, hoping for a different outcome. You get trapped in caves, and somehow just stumble on the way to get out, or the exit,after a couple hours or pushing up against said wall. And by that time I want to throw you through a wall and never see you EVER again.

I just can't take the frusteration anymore. Your the girlfriend I just can't seem to get rid of, as much as I throw down the controller in discust, I always seem to pick you back up weeks, months later. After Underworld. I think we're done for good. You'll always have a place in my heart, and a few broken controllers named after you. Thanks for the trophys and the good times over the years. You've been with me most of my life, but I have to move on. I saw your new trailer, and I want you back even before I've let you go. but there is an invisible wall between us, and I must stop banging my head against it.

So tonight I'm taking a break from FF12 (65hrs) and I'm gonna break out the SSX Tricky. and some Resident Evil 4. The Giantbomb quicklook got me excited for RE4 again, I got not money on my PSN account, but I got an old copy of RE4 for PS2. So the girlfriend is gone, and her kids at their dads, so I'm gonna consume some adult beverages and crank it up. I still got an old SSXTricky save on my old memory card, so I'm gonna see what goodies are in there. I wonder if it still holds up? I know RE4 does, cause it's one of the all time greats. But I've been mislead in the past (Frequency I'm looking at you), so we'll see... Happy Friday everyone!

     I went through  Final Fantasy X-2 again and it really didn't  end up living up to the memories. I remembered the stupid climbing/jumping pretty much hindered the whole game going in.  It stood out way more eleven years later. Still "fun" though. But I bared down and finished it, unlike the last two times. So kudos to me for that :). 
     But now I stuck in FF12 and man, it totally lives up to the memories. I spent 129 hours when it came out. According to my still existant save file. I'm at  20 hours now, and I'm sucked in again. I know the battle system isn't everyones cup of tea, but I'm in love all over again. It's like going home, especially after spending so much time there, and everyone loves home. This time I'm not going to sell that super snakeskin, and get the key, so mabye these dreams I've had for eleven years will go away.

Dug out my old silver PS2 slim out of the basement. In a big box marked "ps2 stuff" with a bunch of old games, wasn't sure how long it would stay upstairs... Well as it turns out, I still love PS2. I fell hard for Tiger Woods 06 again. Started to get a little stale after about ten hours, but those ten hours I was freakin hooked again. So a $9.99 game I played about 35 hours the first time, and ten hours again this time. I think I got my moneys worth.  Next came the big decision, do I play Final Fantasy X-2 or 12? Now I LOVED X-2, I know I'm in the minority, but I think the opening cinema in x-2 is the best FF opening cinema. So I chose that first, and while somewhat janky sometimes It still bring my back to a place I spent a hundred hours in between 10 and X-2. I love dresspheres! 
 I bought The Simpsons new for four bucks at Future Shop a year ago. I sat down yesterday and played through it. The camera is horrible! it affects your enjoyment of the game so much. But god damn, still so funny and well written. The writing made the game enjoyable, all these years later.
I got like 10 other games I have sitting in the basement, but my PS2 is going to have a permenant place next to my TV from now on.

I need something to play in bed that doesn't require button mashing, cause I've got a hottie sleeping next to me. So after Fallout 3 DLC screwed me over, and FF8 hates me, I decided to take another run at Final Fantasy 13. I know, I know...I can still feel the hatred inside of me for Square-Enix for destroying my favorite franchise of all time. But after all this time, I find my mind and heart a little more open. First of all, for all qualms about the game, it still, LOOKS amazing. There's quite a few cut-scenes that instill awe in the graphics whore in me still.
 Gone is the anger per second I felt when it first came out. I'm not thinking about how linear it is, I'm not disecting the characters in my brain while I play, all the negitive baggage I had on my first playthrough has simmered down quite a bit. And you know what? I'm having fun. As a game, it's above average, with some FF refrences thrown in. And when I look at it that way, it's pretty ok .
  I played 11 hours yesterday. And enjoyed it. Throw it back in. It's okay now. :)
  When it opens up, I'm still gonna grind the crap out of it though.
