Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.

I just beat Tales of the Abyss, and Pirates of Dark Water for SNES can kiss my ass.

Just installed MAME again, time to play all the kick ass beat em ups I missed.

Not too much lately, just a couple of PS2 games.

NCAA Football 09 - Using Maryland for my dynasty. 5-0 after an insanely easy win over #9 Clemson.. at Clemson. If only it would be so easy in real life for the Terps!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The old one, first in a trilogy. Not as bad as I remembered, but still pretty bland and boring. 4 of 6 stages completed.

Not much in a gaming mood lately, plus I have been in more of a "casual game" mood lately with mostly playing shooters and beat em ups. I have a pile of PS2 compilations and shooters to play as well.

Anyone have recommendations for good SNES/Genesis beat em ups and shooters, while I am in the mood for them?

Varth
July 05, 2008

Has anyone heard of Varth, an old Arcade shooter from Capcom?

I was scrolling through the (disappointing) list of games on Capcom Classics Remixed for PSP and saw this one, and it looked like a cool 1941 clone so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Wow. I suck at shooters, but this is a crazy hard game.

After four hours, I am on stage 24. Which is a repeat of the stage 15 boss, who took me 47 tries to beat. And he's harder now. And my weapon's not as good. And planes don't give out extra bombs when you kill them now.

I'm probably not going to beat this one. :/

Oh my god.
July 04, 2008

The last few weeks, I've been having worse and worse back/leg pains. Percocet has been helping, though.

Yesterday, I woke up howling in pain, and ever since then my hands have been near numb (when they're not burning), and there's been super sharp shooting pains running up and down my leg. Not to mention the BACK PAIN FROM HELL. It's horrible. Percocet's not even really helping any more :(

I did some research online, and I am fairly convinced I have a pinched nerve in my back, or sciatica. Seems like it. :/

I'll probably have to go to the hospital again :/ Injectable painkillers for the win.

50 reviews away from 500...
July 03, 2008

I'm just so lazy and don't think I will ever hit that "magic number".

I think part of the "problem" is I actually care about writing a halfway decent review. I used to not bother to care and that's why I churned out a billion per month.

Oh, and CHRONO TRIGGER DS.

Arc the Lad
May 27, 2008

They should have called this game Arc the Mighty Ass Kicker and a Bunch of Scrubs. I mean, jesus, the final battle has you going against your dark clones, 7 vs 7. My dark clone magician casts a magic spell that kills six of my seven characters and barely phases Arc. Usually this would be an issue.. except Arc kills all the clones by himself without even needing to heal.

Almost every freaking battle towards the end was like that. Good lord, I hope part 2 is more balanced.
