Congratulations, Roemello! I
guess it shouldn't be tha-
t difficult with the in-
inite ammo code u-
nlock for the roc-
ket launcher t-
hough. As f-
or myself,
I'll be p-
layin-
g th-
es-
e:



Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus (PS2) and the demo for Red Faction: Guerrilla (360)...

Guilty Gear's back...

Actually... it don't matter how big your arsenal is... and you should know this... professional is STILL hell to go through. It's all one hit kills! Not only that, but the Savannah mission is STILL tough where ya can't make use of any of your advantages And that's right where I left off and unless I perform a miracle, it's where I leave off So far, the dogs are what I hate the most... they move too quick and if a mutated one gets ya, you're all done I fear for how it's gonna be if I manage to get to the later missions when they got guns

Oh, yeah! I forgot about the Savannah mission. I still
don't remember how I got past it, but I know it to-
ok me multiple tries and plenty of frustration t-
o boot! One thing I remember is getting into
the habit of focusing on the huge manjini
and then targeting those soldiers. Save
the exploding barrels for desperation-
s sake or when the huge manjini is
about to perform his charging m-
ove. I still think I passed it by
luck. If you can get another
playing to aid you, that c-
ould help, but I'm not s-
ure if 2-players are a-
llowed to play this s-
tage together (sin-
ce I never tried i-
t this way). If y-
ou want, whe-
n I get back
today, we
can try
goin-
g t-
hroug-
h this lev-
el co-op-wis-
e in hopes of p-
assing it. Also, th-
e context button pre-
ssing sequences are mu-
ch more difficult since the-
y occur almost instantly and d-
amages are much more severe in
this mode. I should be back by 3pm
today and will leave a post here to inf-
orm you that I'm back. If I'm not back by
then, give me up to a half hour more (arou-
und 3:30 pm). If I fail to appear by this timef-
rame, then something came up and I won't be th-
ere... ok? Good luck progressing here before then!

Normally that would work out well, but I'm actually gonna be out food shopping for Easter at that time.... leaving around 3 pm I'll be around later in the day, but that may end up too late for ya if having other priorities to attend to. I'll just be gaming out though once I'm home for the day

Understandable! And since work finished
later than expected, that leaves me
behind in my activities, one of
which included reheating d-
inner. Maybe another t-
ime perhaps. Good
luck with Easte-
r shopping. I
will be in
Philly:

(for Easter!)

Well, I pulled off the miracle and finished it on professional... after hours of frustration and yelling at the TV There's just no margin for error on that skill level! Now that that's done... it'll depend what mood strikes what I'll play next

Working on The Pitt for F3 now.

I almost finished up the 100 Steel Ingot quest for the Mill Worker achievement this morning...but I didn't save before going for the hard to get ones (up real high.) I fell to my death when I misjudged a jump on the way back down to get the last ones. I threw the controller down in rage. I was so close!

Ugh.... that had to suck. When it comes to that game, I got in the habit of constantly saving. Especially when it comes to making a high jump... I won't attempt it til I've saved first... and good thing because I died jumping down a long one myself Good luck finishing that one! It's a wild ride compared to Anchorage!

Congratulations in finishing Professional
in RE5, Roemello! Quite an accompli-
shment it is, though the infinite
ammo option helps considera-
bly (on most levels). Good
thing that no one was a-
round to hear the lan-
guage used while a-
ttempting to com-
plete that diffi-
culty setting
(laughs)!!
Good l-
uck
with th-
e Pitt, Mas-
a! Did your co-
ntroller survive th-
e the toss at all (laug-
hs)? I have yet to play Fa-
llout 3, but I heard about a j-
ump that was supposed to diffi-
cult, and I guess this was it, huh??
I too am a practitioner of constant s-
aving, because you never know when a
moment will come where you'll play for an
extended period of time and forget to do so
mistakenly only to die at that moment. Multipl-
e saves help as well. For now, I'm playing GTA Chi-
natown is taking up my time, mainly because I was pl-
aying it during my commute to and from Philly and got c-
aught up in it. I still have to try out the Red Faction demo.

I went back to Eternal Sonata the past few days... I've had it for quite some time and it seems to be my 'go back to' game once I've finished all the major titles and caught up

That's great! Speaking of RPG's on the 360,
I STILL can't find a used copy of Tales
of Vesperia and refuse to open th-
e one collector's edition copy t-
hat I currently own (but I j-
ust may have to if I ca-
n't find the soundt-
rack separately)
though. I gu-
ess we'll f-
ind out
soo-
n:

(enough...)



(or eventually...)

Gotta admit, those 360 controllers are tough. So far, it has survived the wrath of Masamune.

What I don't understand about the final quest in the Pitt is, why should I turn the lights off to let the Trogs attack the higher ups? Why can't I just go in and kill them all myself without dealing with those damn Trogs! Those things were a pain in the ass until I got the Blackhawk back.

Blackhawk+Headshot=Instant Kill.

Well, as you'll see if ya haven't finished it yet... after you kill those lights, all hell breaks loose! It's fun though if ya like mass killage

Made good progress on Eternal Sonata finally! One more long optional dungeon to go through, then I'll go for the finale... and possibly play the encore since there's nothing else pressing I need to play

Just got Rock Band 2. I am hoping the power doesn't go out. =( Stupid storms.

Congratulations on your investment, Masa!
Did you get the complete pack with th-
e drums and mic? I was able to ge-
t this version but I STILL have
not played it (or even open-
ed it for that matter). I
will try out Left 4 De-
ad's new maps sh-
ortly, and may-
be after tha-
t, I'll try s-
ome oth-
er ga-
me:

(that I've neglected...)
