A Gamer's Life For Me

Yo Ho! So I have been going back to my roots. I didn't do it on purpose it just kind of happened. We downloaded Wolfenstein 3D which is awesome. It is really hard not to try and aim, but the "auto aim" is really good. Just point in the general direction of the Nazi and fire. "Mein Leben!" It is a lot more fun now because we are cheating and looking at the maps. We would never find all the secrets otherwise. Running along walls clicking as fast as you can gets old.. This game also reminds me of the old maze screen saver. I used to have so much fun with my friend watching that stupid thing. Wow the things we used to do for entertainment. I am glad we have better things to do than watch screen savers nowadays. I also just downloaded a pack of games that comes with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, DOS style! It is so awesome! I remember it so well. I was looking up pictures and am so excited to go home and play.


Ah! Venice.. It finally finished downloading this morning. It also came with Full Throttle! Hell ya. I played that game with my mom. Haha. She was a good sport. All these old games makes me want to bust out Myst again.. So good! And maybe that random Star Trek: TNG game I could never figure out. I wonder if I was just being stupid or if it had a glitch.... probably the latter.



Lost Odyssey! I am almost done with it by the way. I just did the Temple of Enlightenment last night. Oh my god! I had to use a YouTube video to guide me through. I would have been up all night trying to figure that stupid thing out. Luckily after the boss fight I was able to find my way back to the closest save point without meeting any enemies. I went in there low level, so the fights take forever. I was so tired this morning! But this game is amazing! I am soooo pleased with it. The story is great, the graphics are awesome, and I always enjoy a good turn-based RPG. A cool quark I found was that I set the language to German, but the subtitles are still in English. That just makes the cut scenes that much cooler. I also love the fact that Nobuo Uematsu did the music! Yes that is the same person who did all the Final Fantasy music. He is definitely "the John Williams of video games." And John Williams is no joke! He is so cool he has the same birthday as me! I <3>
I love tangents! And wow did I run with that one.

But ya.. anyway. I will be sad when I beat Lost Odyssey because I will not have another good RPG for who knows how long. I don't want to buy a PS3 and I don't want to play something with bad graphics. (yuck!) I guess I will be forced to play Mass Effect again. Poor me.. I still need to play the expansion for Fallout 3 as well. I guess I could play some more sims too.. Guess I won't be running out of things to do after all.
