[General Discussion] What are you currently playing???

Today I wrote an accounting midterm and finished one hour early. What to do with this spare hour? Head over to Superstore and pick up a PS1 memory card, but lo and behold, such old technology is no longer sold at this store anymore (they had it back last summer, and I picked up a card then, but it's getting full). So instead, I happened to spot this game:

I really wasn't hesistant on buying it, but I was more so thinking in my mind how much did I like the third installment. My desires got the better of me, and the price seemed right, $25 CDN, so I got it. I haven't done any racing, but I've just looked around the menu and somehow uploaded an old save file from GT3 which gave me some bonus features. NICE! Well, I was more intending to continue on in Valkyrie Profile - Chapter 5. But today's a free day pretty much. So I'll be gaming much more now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

At this moment I have Mercenaries (PS2) in my console. I'm about almost half way through the game, judging from how many "deck of cards" officers that I've killed/captured. This is a fun game, but pretty hard, even with some cheats on. Basically I'm using the money cheat ($1 million cheat several times, as well as the cheat weapons drop).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Are you playing the Catalina missions or something like that? Just right when you enter the truck, get out and whip out a machine gun and destroy the car. Then you can have your merry way.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've just finished the 2nd disc of Final Fantasy IX. It's certainly heating things up at the end where Kuja (what the hell is wrong with his/her face, seriously. KEFKA WANNABE) toasts the elephant-lady, ie Queen Brahme or whatever her fat majestic lips name is. I didn't find myself compelled by any aspect of the game at first, but I think it's growing on me. Honestly I'm just playing this just to claim another FF title under my belt and keep me occupied till perhaps either Dirge of Cerberus or XII comes out. Of course FFIX will be most likely beaten by then, but it's a stepping stone.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I finally beat FFIX after dicking around with other games. What a beautiful ending, no honestly, I'd love to be Zidane right there and then. ::grabs lots of CG ass::

Now, I'll probably move onto Front Mission 3. I've been wanting to play another strategy like game like FFT, so this might be the ticket. Also, I'm on the last challenge for God of War for PS2. So I'm pretty far ahead, on easy difficulty, .

I was speaking idiomatically.

In other news, I'm still playing FRONT MISSION 3. I'm doing Emma's story currently and am up to Battle 53: Ravnui Embassy. This was a particularly easy fight. It was mainly close quarters combat and each of the enemy Wanzers were attacking as a single unit, so needless to say, I got Kazuki, Ryogo, Yun, and Marcus beating the crap out of each individual unit. Divide and conquer, like much of the same strategy as the rest of the game.

So far, My top three units are Marcus (dual fist), Ryogo (Shotgun and fist), and Yun (Shotgun and fist). I get Marcus with his dual fist punch to knock down the Wanzer target by about 400 hp, then get Ryogo/Yun to shotgun the bastard to take off the remaining health for the limb. This tactic has helped me win basically most of the battles so far. I have Yun set to two sets of double attacks (melee and shotgun), and Ryogo generally uses Rate of Fire Up I or Zoom I.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
