I just rolled out yet another new song, this one titled "Spirit Walker." It's got a ton of harmony, and some intentionally dissonant chords. Check it out at the Eternal Champion Myspace!
So over the last week I've been playing a lot of games. I guess it's just my itch to as I've sort of been abstaining from them altogether for the last two months. I've purchased many an XBLA game, very exciting stuff. Just recently (about four hours ago) I went to the GameStop to trade in some games for store credit. I traded in Condemned 2, skate, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and Resistance: Fall of Man. What shocked me is that I got about $80 for the whole shindig. Fancy that.
What a bloody mess.So I picked up some used games, including: Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 4: The Room, and Persona 3. I've been wanting the former two for a while, and Persona was just a good deal at 25 bucks. That combined with a 1600 Microsoft Points card ran me like 77 dollars, not a bad deal. I resisted the urge to pick up Soul Calibur IV, as that would have foiled my plans completely.
So for the arcade games. Earlier this week I picked up N+ and Lumines Live. They are both fairly great games, that occupy completely different sections of my brain. The ninja game makes me want to kill myself, only because it's so damn hard. Chilling out and playing some Lumines afterwards is definitely time well-spent after the intensity of that other game. Oh yes, Ikaruga. Played that a bit with the EightBitWarrior. Anywho.
You have no idea.So I purchased a rather significant arcade game, beyond all those. That game is Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved². And what a doozy this is. I think I'm in love, I can't get enough of it. I didn't think I'd get this much enjoyment out of the game, but I honestly love all the game types. I've gotten all but three achievements out of it, and I'm pretty sure at the moment that two of those are out of my grasp. Not talking about "Wax Off" however, I smoked that early (since it's my favorite game mode). My best score right now is in Pacifism, being 13+ million or so. I urge other people to give it a shot, beyond the demo. Even if you think you don't like Geometry Wars, like I did. I'm addicted to beating high scores, even though I'm not particularly good at the game, anybody can score 1 million + in the gametypes with a little practice.
P.S. I've been back into Burnout Paradise as you may or may not know, I need to do challenges with people, so if anyone actually owns the game you should hit me up and we'll play. 9 Comments
Demigod, my newest creation, is now available. It's a very electronic piece, with lots of digital delay on the guitars. Check it out at the Eternal Champion Myspace! While your at it, listen to the others if you haven't had the chance. 3 Comments
I"m a moderator. God HELP US ALL! Haha, just kiddin'. Just stop making pages about silly things, like air. Well Duke Nukem 3D has air, but so does every other game on the planet.
One minute I'm at 4200 points uploading images for Tower Toppler, the next thing I know I have 6000+ points. Images seemed to have uploaded twice for a couple games. This is strange, guess I email the Giant Bomb about it.
So I've been messing around with this whole Giant Bombing thing, and I have to say -- I'm pretty darn impressed. At first it had some major slowdown and server problems, among other things - but now I am definitley warming up to this whole free-form concept of a website.
Two thumbs up!I submitted several Final Fantasy Tactics Wiki thingies, and uploaded a fair amount of imagery, did an obligitory forum post, and added countless things to lists. Hopefully they'll get a video uploader eventually, that's all I can really ask for at the moment, this site is just so darn cool.
I can't seem to add anything to my "collection" however, it's annoyingly always greyed out. This seems pretty minor, but at the same time why is it the only one greyed out!? Sometimes the Wish List also gets greyed out, but not nearly as often. the collection is greyed out 110% of the time, which is to say more than always! Gee-Golly. What is a guy to do.
Zell throwing up the Gang Sign!So I've been playing some Final Fantasy VIII lately, and I'm chillin' on Disc 2 as it stands. I've been geeking out on it hardcore, which is refreshing to finally have the time to be able to do something like that. I believe all that time ago a teaser video of mine implied that I was going to play FFVIII, yet I never came around to actually doing that -- with the whole horrible break-up, moving across the country thing. I guess I'm finally fulfilling my destiny. Huzzah!
Other than that, played the Too Human demo, got bored immediately - and I also played the Tales of Vesperia demo, which I enjoyed thurally. I really like that Tales series, despite it reminding me of my ex-girlfriend Michelle. I might pick that one up, since I'm jonsing for a simple J-RPG experience. Although I haven't drilled through Lost Odyssey, and I've had that for a while now...hmm. Oh well, I won't bother you with these specifics. Peace out home-dogs!
