Your Daily Dose of Gaming.

I've been playing a lot of Halo 2 Vista lately... on XP. f*ck you Microsoft, f*ck you! Nerd hackers 1, Micro-penis-soft 0.

This game is so incredibly good I cannot possibly put it in words. It even outbeats Halo 1, and that's NOT a small feat! I'm shocked by the sheer perfection of this fantastic game. Incredible. Everybody who hasn't played it yet: DO IT NOW!

I cannot imagine how good Halo 3 will be. It's going to be the final game in the series, and I assume they made that decision simply because they couldn't possibly improve the next game in any way possible, as Halo 3 will be the first and only perfect game.

I love Halo 2 multiplayer, but don't like the campaign or Halo 1.

The Halo 3 beta was fun. I can't wait to fully customize games and record the results.

FINALLY finished with my GMATs.  Thank f*cking goodness!  Time for some video gaming!  I hardly touched video games for the past two months or so.

- Sapphire.  Wow, what the PCE was capable of... (I can't believe games like Wonder Momo is for the same system!)  Maybe I'm a shooter wimp, but I don't get it when people say this is an easy shooter.

- Valis I for PCE.  I quite like it!  Simple but fun.

- Galaga 88.  I quite like it!  Even more simple but fun.

Just finished with the Ace Combat 6 demo for the Xbox 360.  I quite like it!  It's the first 360 game I am actually looking forward to... ever!

I know you don't like fps, but have you played quake 4 on it. I have  the pc version, its pretty cool.

If ya set, Sapphire to easy it is while playing on normal and such is more of a challenge.

Easy gives ya the most continues while on normal it's less.

I've been mixing it up this week.

Neo Geo:

- Samurai Shodown - I played this through to completion, 32 continues.


Sega Genesis:

- Road Rash 3 - Still messing with level 4, I have 2 tracks to qualify on. So much shit in the road. I need to be, "in the zone" to get into these later levels and qualify.

- Road Rash 2 - I started playing this week, I'm on level 2, trying different bikes. I'm going to cruise around level 2 for a while, try different bikes, build $, etc.



Road Rash games are nice to play here and there. With the passwords, I can play a few tracks here and there, take a break, come back to it later.



The PC Engine hasn't had mcuh use lately, though I'll return to it soon for "Efera & Jilioria".

Today was a TurboGrafx exclusive!

* The arcade classic Vigilante!
* Forgotten Worlds, another arcade wonder!
* Followed up with a little R-Type (CD version)...
* Then proceeded to make some progress in Shape Shifter (I'm liking this game, despite others' misgivings)
* Finished off with a round of Devil's Crush. I haven't played this game in FOREVER. One of my biggest peeves with Alien and Devil is that the high score table isn't saved. So I decided to do a test with Devil's Crush since I've never used the save state feature before (who saves a game of pinball?). Lo and behold, if you save your game the high score table is saved a well! Killer! Now if there was only a way to save in Alien Crush...

I thought the high scores in Devil's Crush automatically saved regardless if you used the save state feature or not.

[Ninja Spirit]

Took a stroll through Goodwill and bought a awesome Genesis shooter

 That would be VAPOR TRAIL. Played nothing but hard mode.

No, they get reset every time you power off.

[Turbo D]

I think you can get the password, just pause and press select or something.

[Joe Redifer]

Never turn your Turbo off.  The high scores will always remain, even for Alien Crush!

[Necromancer]

Never turn your Turbo off.  The high scores will always remain, even for Alien Crush!

That makes it a little difficult to play any other game though.  Just scribble your high scores on the wall - it's what all the cool people do. 

[Joe Redifer]

So?  If you want to play another game, just buy another Turbo.  Duh.

Damn, what was I thinking?  That's me, I guess; always trying to take the easy way out.
