Second playthrough of Xenoblade. Aiming for near-100% completion this time, because I missed out on quite a lot of stuff on my first run. 28 hours in an still at Satorl Marsh. Oh man. This will take a while.

Castlevania something or other for DS. I LOVE these Castlevania games, always have. This is the one where you have to DRAW seals/symbols on the touch screen....pretty cooooool....

Cheers

Dawn of Sorrow, a game that was little more than an expansion pack for Aria of Sorrow, the best GBA game ever.

Even though it was essentially that. I enjoyed it, it was my favorite of the DS Castlevanias. Though I'm not sure how I feel about the art change with the character portraits.

On topic: Just beat the campaign in Gear of War 3, so now I can spend far too many hours playing Multiplayer.

I downloaded Crimecraft: BLEEDOUT from steam. It was free, so I thought why not. It's terrible. I don't know why you would want to play a game like that, it is awful, it's way to easy, and disgusting.

Shining Force, the original Genesis version.

I hated the menu/equip style in that game, led me to never finishing it

Oh god, 100% completion on Xenoblade? Good luck with that. How's the translation?

About five or six hours into the second CD of Legend of Dragoon now. Also:

Grandia in Simplified Chinese via a very lovely and super professional fan translation. The amount of words I'm having to look up in this brings back painful memories of when I was starting to learn Japanese. It seriously took me a good few hours just to reach this early scene~! But I shan't admit defeat. :3

Yes indeed. I mean, I didn't even rebuild Colony 6 in the JP version! I felt terrible for leaving it like that.

I'm liking the localization. The English voice acting is pretty decent for the most part (plus they kinda grow on you after a while), but I find myself switching to the Japanese track quite often. Thankfully you can do it mid-game. I mean, I spent a good 100 hours with these characters in the JP version, so I pretty much immediately associate them with their original voices, and it's hard to get used to anything else. Not to mention that seeing English subtitles and hearing the Japanese voices helps me learn new stuff, as always. The translation itself is nice as well. Very British. Get ready for NPC quest givers replying with a "cheers!" or "nice one!" when you complete their respective tasks.

Your determination to learn new languages never ceases to amaze me.

Oh god, the pirate ship.

I am so, so sorry.

I was planning on replaying the game in French when I can find a little time. Might put on the English dub as well, as I like what I've heard, and I've already played it in Japanese. I know what you mean, though. Once you've gotten used to one set of voices for characters, it's hard to swap over. The Chinese Grandia I'm playing uses the Japanese voices, and it's weeeeeird hearing the characters speak Japanese, even though the English voices were bottom of the barrel levels of horrible. :'D

Myaaah. Say that once my Chinese is actually good enough to not be looking up multiple words every single sentence.

Oh god, the pirate ship.

I am so, so sorry.

Friend watching me play yesterday: "Oh yeah, I remember this bit. You're about to hit the most irritating dungeon in any game ever."

No relation, I take it?

To your friend? I would hope not, but I suppose it's possible.

But yes, I figure we're probably thinking of the same dungeon. It gets worse if you opt to go the completionist route. Actually, LoD is horrible for that all around. From the missable collectibles to the stupid repetitive bits (they actually designed a dungeon around an overinflated bureaucracy. I SHIT YOU NOT).
