Busy week for me - so im looking forward to sitting on my ass most of the weekend playing stuff down..

PSP - STILL comitted to Alien Syndrome. Character keeps getting stronger.

PS3 - Persona 3. I love the music, and love the method the characters use to envoke the Persona's - over and over and over.

X360 - Bioshock finally!

What do you have in your machines?

Getting ready for big house party tomorrow... no time for games

Maybe I'll get to play a bit of HL2 later on in the evening.

PSP - Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

DS - Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations

On Chapter 18 grinding a bit. Chapter 14/15 was kinda hard, but that I think is the halfway point.

Just started on Tuesday, decided to wait till the weekend to play more.

Just got this Wed, played through a little bit. On the fence if I should wait to finish Luminous Arc first or not.

This week I've played the following:

Bioshock (PC)
Europa Universalis 3: Napoleon's Ambition xpack (PC)
Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm (PC)
Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword (PC)

How is DRAGON STORM

Not bad at all-it actually looks like they have added some things this time around (as opposed to the xpacks for the original, which was largely a "more content" affair). Makes for a good laptop game.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #7 on:** August 24, 2007, 12:54:32 PM »

I enjoyed what I did play of spell force 2, kinda the type of rpg you'd only find on pc.

1. skate demo (360)
2. persona 3
3. bioshockkkkk

been tapping some puzzle quest psp ass before bed as well.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #9 on:** August 24, 2007, 01:24:05 PM »

i am playing dragon storm as well, frag!

also
valkyrie profile 2 (ps2)
rengoku 2 (psp)
bioshock (360, this weekend)

ironically, i have ran into the apparently rare SPI networking bug Vista has with some Linksys routers. i am either going to need to reinstall the TCP stack on my laptop or disable SPI on my router, the latter of which is a VARY BAD IDEA. the freakin' autotuning features -- which can be disabled with netsh but performance drops steeply -- apparently do NOT play nice with the Linksys SPI implementation. i suppose i should buy a non-Linksys router. what's the best wireless router out there, frag?

BIOSHOCK - finished it on easy, a ride well worth the price of the admission ticket. debating on whether to flip it on ebay while the price is still high, and just rebuy it later at $20 to play through again for the other ending.

debating downloading the MOHA demo - gonna buy it anyway, so there isn't much point

demi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 24, 2007, 01:45:44 PM »

* Two Worlds

I have two 802.11g Buffalo routers flashed to the latest version of DD-WRT. Very satisifed. What model Linksys? You might be able to get around their shitty code by just flashing to a opensource firmware.

frag, it's a WRT54GX2 (the SRX-200 on the box). apparently, Vista can -- for reasons as yet undetermined -- suddenly send out autoscaled TCP packets that SPI doesn't like, killing all yer TCP talk outside the LAN. i need a router that lets me disable SPI. the linksys one has a disable SPI feature, but it disables the WHOLE FUCKING FIREWALL, even oldschool stateless inspection! wtf.

Snag a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 , flash to DD-WRT, and you can turn off SPI easily from the panel-I have a simple "SPI Firewall" enable/disable radio button on my DD-WRT flashed router.

PS2- was playing Devil May Cry 2, but kind of stopped for a few weeks. I should really pick it up again, but I haven't really had the desire.

DS- I haven't had a whole lot of time for games, so I've been playing Mario Kart DS in short spurts. Waluigi Pinball course is

I made that same mistake too. MAF's very sensitive about that issue. Mocking easy mode is a declaration of war against MAF.

DD-WRT is a kickass firmware. I use it on two WRT54Gs. One is the main house router, the other I use as a wireless bridge in my room on the other side of the house.

I really couldnt get into Space Giraffe, and didnt like any of the other XBLA offerings this week.

Bioshock is already starting to feel like "more of the same" - I just got to neptunes bounty - I will press on tho...

I have downloaded but yet to try the Folklore demo.

There're plenty more you haven't seen from Bioshock if you've only been to neptune's bounty.

Bioshock.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is it me, or is the game way too damn easy? I paid $70 for the LCE, and here I am, four days later, completing the game on normal difficulty. I was right about Nintendo pussifying games for the casual crowd. My mother could beat this game with a hand tied behind her back!

Persona 3 and MotoGP 2007, both awesome and addictive games; full 60FPS for the latter with very little stutter, rewarding handling that is fun to master, and an awesome sense of speed, the only downside being that it always uses the same 3-4 generic emo songs in a loop, it's weird that the selection is so limited... yeah you can use custom soundtracks but I'd rather experiment any game in the way the designers originally intended

I personally love the way you respawn in bioshock.

I like to imagine it from the big daddy's perspective - he kills me and then 5 minutes later I'm running right back in on his ass.

I got a little crazy with the ice power and now I'm poor (shattered enemies don't drop drops)
