I am making an epic push for all the achievements in the Orange Box. I have 9 out of the 99 left.

I'll prolly also play some Daiblo II with my buddy, and maybe Super Mario Galaxy

Taking a small break from the RTSs this weekend for some straight up RPGs.

Dragon Quest VII-Never beat it. Now that I have time, I'm going to try to.

Awesome Game Design: The Game!- Let me tell you about my awesome adventure that I had last night in AGD:TG! I walked into a wonderfully plain graveyard where you spend a whole hour running back and forth in the same lovely environment. What was I doing? Gathering multicolored flames, running across the graveyard, lighting multicolored candles to open new passages, fight enemies, gather more flames, run across the same graveyard, light more candles and fight the same enemies, etc. Over and over, back and forth. Fighting the same awesome enemies again and again for an hour. And the reason for all this? Because a brat wanted to water her damn plant. And when you get done, you don't even see her water the blasted thing!

Geo Wars 2- Fun sequel but has some design choices that makes the main game not as enjoyable and fair as the original.

Also playing Wario Land 3, Civilization IV, possibly TF2 (I keep telling myself to start playing again, I never do though), Rhythm Tengoku Gold, Monster Hunter Portable 2.

I'm gf free for the weekend, so I'm going to restart Ninja Gaiden 2 after I lost all my achievements. Then, when I go to bed, I'm going to play Shiren until my eyes bleed.

I REALLY need to finish off MGS 4 and Uncharted so I can trade 'em/sell 'em but I'm just not feeling them at the moment.

Oh yeah, and since I can hook my 360 up to the net today, I may finally grab Geo Wars 2 and Braid.

I'm giddy with possibilities.

Braid - overhyped by GAF but still good.

Geo Wars 2 - Awesome

Rock Band - Can't do B.Y.O.B. on expert vocals. :'(

I got Civ Revolution from Gamefly yesterday, but I haven't even bothered to open it yet.

The Braid speed run stuff is tough.  My fastest time on the first course is like 54.3 or something.  I was initially ranked 7th, then dropped to 14th or something.  Today I am probably 63rd.  I can't believe people got a minute faster than me.  I can't see how.

I think the X360 edition had a grid system for building placement - ewww.

Id love another one of those.

sounds like a video resolution/3d acceleration problem. either turn off 3d acceleration if you have it on or post the verify the resolution/refresh rate in the baldur.ini. Also, you might try installing the widescreen mod as well:

oddly, i found an official patch for the throne of baal and that has apparently fixed all of my issues.

strange.

now it's working like a champ and not randomly crashing on me.

i find myself not really knowing when to juggle what spell is appropriate when so i have a lot of strategy which consists of "gang up on one mob then heal" which i know probably won't really fly in the real portions of the game

It is a lot of fun, but it can get you really angry.  I was trying to find the last thing to find and end the level, then I fell for like, 6 seconds straight all the way to the bottom.  For those 6 seconds I was yelling and getting so pissed off.

There is a demo to try out.

DW Gundam OMG finished char's mission finally. Thankfully items carry over between modes so I had 3 musou units in hyaku. It was so fucking close tho. That whole mission is the most evil in the game for sure. So many events, so far away from each other. You also have to make a few calls not dictated to you to ensure the argama makes it through alive.

I still have to power somehow beat that same map with kamille, cause Hyaku > Zeta Gundam - Zeta has travel form but argh I dunno if it'll have the DPS required without the musou units you only get in hard mode. I need to shove a max level pilot in zeta gundam and take it through a campaign I spose. :( Ill get the last two mission acheivements then the only one left will be the evil punishing 100k kills, which im 30k away from accomplishing argh.
