Day 124: Month 4 Review

I totally forgot that yesterday was the end of the month.  I forgot to go back and look at what I did over the past month.  So, I will do that now.

Okay, so last month I finished three games.  And two of them were games I had never played before!  And they were quite long!

Now if only I could finish the game that has been mocking me for so long.

In current game playing news, I completed the third Gym in Pokémon White.  Now, my character is in the construction site/desert thing full of Sandiles.  I went and caught one, because I figured I might need a Ground type in my party for the next Gym.  The only thing I know about the Gym is that it gives out the Bolt Badge.  I assume it is an Electric-type Gym, in which case Ground types will be best.  Especially since my party contains two flying types (Pidove and Woobat).

Anyway, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 107: One more finished!

So the big news of the day is that registration has begun for this year's Osu! World Cup.  So far there are two teams entered; one representing Germany and the other representing Italy.  I of course, have started my analysis of the team members and will be making my predictions as more teams confirm their participation.  I am really excited, because this is the start of the competitive season and it will be my first competitive season.

Along with doing the analysis, I have thought about making a team intro video for the teams.  I saw one I liked back when the GTA V crews were recruiting new members.  I started on Italy's today.  I have it half finished.  I just have to add the other team members and then set some music at the silent parts.

In other news, I finished the main story quests in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  So, I am going to count it as complete on the list.  And after that, I started a save file for Ape Escape 3.  I have already captured Monkey White, so I'm about 15% complete in the story already.  I still haven't put Xenosaga Episode I back in the games cabinet, because I intend to try finishing it sometime soon.  Maybe I will find an online strategy that is guaranteed to work and use it.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 103: GTA V Final Review

Well, I set out to complete a game today, and I was successful.  I finished every story mission in Grand Theft Auto V.  The credits are literally rolling as I am typing this.  I am glad to have finished it, and to have finished any game.  It's been far too long since I completed a game.  Anyway, I really like the story of Grand Theft Auto V.  That, coupled with a good soundtrack and outstanding graphics, made this one of my favorite games ever.

I was surprised at how far the developers went to push the envelope when they made this game.  I never thought I would ever play a game where I would get to see the inside a person's skull.  And the nudity was something you don't normally see in video games either.  I am really surprised that GTA V didn't receive an AO rating rather than the MA rating it received.  This was probably the most adult-themed game I have seen in my life.

WARNING!!  SPOILERS!!

The last mission allowed me to do what I have wanted to do ever since I met Trevor, and that was to kill him.  I never liked his character, and I wanted to see him die so many times.  I never expected that I would get to burn him alive, though.  That was brutal.  Really brutal.  If I do play through this game again, I will probably choose Option C.  I will never choose Option A.  I mean, why would I kill myself?

Gosh, how long are these credits?  It's played through like four songs now.

Now that I have finished GTA V, I can mark it off the list and work on finishing other games.  I am really close to finishing Final Fantasy XIII.  I have been in the same spot in FF XIII for months.  I think it would be a nice weekend project for me.  And I am also close to finishing Xenosaga Episode I as well.  The only problem I have with finishing both of those games is that the enemies are very difficult to get defeat.  That's why I haven't finished them yet.  So I will be turning to the trusty Internet for help in that regard.  That's what it's there for, after all.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 101: When I'm not playing video games...

I'm usually watching other people play video games.  I watch a lot of LPers on YouTube and Twitch.  And in today's entry, I thought I'd talk about some of my favorites.

First up is GypsyElder.  She is a member of a Final Fantasy forum I like to visit.  Watching her play Catherine got me interested in the game, and she also helped me out when I would get stuck in the puzzles.  She's much better at the game than I am.  She's conquering Babel, and I am struggling on Easy Mode.

Along with Catherine, she plays a bunch of other games as well.

Next is MageKnight404.  He is probably one of my favorite LPers on YouTube nowadays.  When I play Xenosaga Episode I, I almost always have his series on the game playing at the same time.  Right now in my playthrough of the game, I would be at his episode 94.  However, I am only up to episode 52 of actually watching his LP.  I really enjoy watching his live streams on Twitch as well.

And finally, I will mention some of my favorite series' to watch.  I like Josh Jepson's Fallout 3 LP.  It was another that I watch while playing the game.  And I enjoyed watching Donnabellez' LP of Katamari Damacy.  And though I can't stand NintendoCapriSun at all anymore, I really am entertained when I watch almost anything from TheRunawayGuys.

As for my gaming for today.  I work on completing Grand Theft Auto V.  Although for the amount of time I played, I didn't actually get a whole lot done.  I am 57.61% complete now.  I have finished all of the random events.  There are only three more strangers and freaks missions, and 24 story missions left to complete.  And it's only taken almost 31 hours to get this far.

And in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, I completed a few more missions. And after that, I passed a couple Clan Tests to raise my Clan stats.  I have each member of my party at Level 11-12.  Most have already learned all of the abilities of the starting jobs that I have access to.  I just have to find the items needed to add more advanced equipment from the bazaar.

Well, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 100: I think I'm almost done.

I only have 26 missions left to complete in Grand Theft Auto V.  Overall, I am 52.78% complete.  I have almost all of the random events finished (13/14).  My brother walked in while I was playing and said that the graphics looked very realistic.  He liked how the vehicles looked like actual vehicles.  Anyway, my favorite part about the game is that you can switch between the characters.  It makes the missions fresh.  Rather than playing as one character for 50+ missions, you get to play as the three of them.  I will be glad when I finish the story.  Then I can devote more time to the online gameplay.

I am almost #27 in this month's osu!mania competition!  I have shortened the gap between me and the current #27 to only 14,505 points.  I had to play the annoying Mermaid Girl song about 15 times in order to get my score and accuracy up enough to where I would like it.  As for my overall rankings, they are at the same area they were yesterday.  I currently have second place on a song that was released today.  So, that's always cool!

Today I thought I'd try and play Final Fantasy VI and see how far I could get.  But then I thought about the games I am already playing, and I didn't want to add to the list.  I need to finish something before I start playing something else.

Well, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!  Also, the special side topic I was going to talk about has been pushed back until tomorrow.  I wasn't finished working on it, so I'm going to postpone it for now.

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 99: Anything but 666.

Well, I am now in 28th Place in this month's osu!mania monthly competition.  And I am only 1,570 points from passing #27.  As for my overall standings, that has improved as well.  I am #647 in the United States, and #11,467 in the world.  I spent a lot of time trying to improve on maps that I have a score of less than 950,000 points.  It is taking a while, considering I have over 3000 maps.  But I started the day as #666 in the country, and ended at #647; so it was a good day.  Also, I wanted to be anything other than #666.

The only other game I played today was Grand Theft Auto V.  I played both the story mode and online.  In Online, I am at Level 8 with 24,194 RP in the Ohio Moguls crew.  And in story mode, I have completed 43.41% of the game.  I still hate playing as Trevor, but I just get it over with.

I have an interesting side topic for tomorrow's entry, so you will have to come back for that.  I will try and not wing it like I usually do the side topics.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 98: Rage Moment

I had a bit of a rage moment when I was playing Osu! today.  I kept missing only one note in every map I played, and so I would retry the maps.  Well, it became really frustrating, and I slammed both hands on the computer keyboard and broke one of the little tabs that elevate it to raise the angle of the keyboard.  So, now I am using some GBA game cartridges to adjust the angle of the keyboard to make typing more comfortable.  Why was I being so sore?  I was trying to raise my score in this month's competition.  I rank #29, and I am so close to moving up the list if I can just raise my score a little more.  The difference between me and #28 is only 15,588 points.  There is still a lot of points I could earn; 3,338,777 points to be exact.

In the end, I just did one of the maps that I don't have a near perfect score on, and I passed #28.  Now, I am 27,851 points below #27.  It looks like I will remain on the scoreboard for the rest of the competition, so I am not too worried about scrounging for the extra points.  I guess the rage moment was needed.  It had been boiling for so long, that it finally boiled over.  Now, I am as cool as ice water.

I played GTA Online today as well.  I am still ranked #6 in my crew.  I have 21,357 RP currently.  My specialty right now is racing.  And that's really weird considering I am horrible at racing in most other games.  I almost have enough money to purchase a house in the game.  I hope to do that soon.  My car is missing, and I don't know how to use the tracking.  That's something I want to do the next time I play.

I tried playing Xenosaga Episode I.  However, the battles are really difficult.  I tried different equipment to combat the attacks the enemies were throwing, but they are relentless.  And I tried fighting the Red King in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, but the battle was too difficult.  It doesn't seem fair that I can't use Black Magic spells, but the opponent can.  Oh well.  Maybe next time.

Well, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 97: A short update.

I played Xenosaga Episode I today.  Today, I just wanted to get the rest of MOMO's Ether Abilities.  I read about their locations, and spent a long time looking for them.  But I did move to the second tower in the Song of Nephilim.  However, the battles are really tough, and I keep dying.

I completed a few more quests in Final Fantasy Tactics A2.  I have a new party member as well.  It's that Adelle character who I don't trust.  I think she's going to end up hurting the party again at some point.

I wasn't able to play GTA Online today.  I guess the servers were having problems.

Sorry this is so short.  But I am not feeling the best right now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 96: My True Thoughts on GTA Online

I finally got to play GTA Online today.  It is much better now that I no longer have to look at a loading screen, though I still have to look at one occasionally.  The jobs are fun, and I like how it is more based on the community aspect rather than "kill these people, drive these cars".  The competition is tough, but that's to be expected.  After all, the game sold millions of copies, and it seems like everyone is a pro at it compared to me.

In my current crew Ohio Moguls, I rank 6th out of the 12 players overall.  I have 10,050 RP.  I have done a Team Last Man Standing match (in which I was the first one dead), and a Deathmatch (in which I place 7th out of 10).

GTA Online is really fun.  I can see myself spending many nights playing this.  For more information about my crew's standings, just click and visit Ohio Moguls.

In other gaming news, Osu! is currently restructuring the Leader Boards for the overall modes.  For a while now, the Leader Boards have been cluttered with players who no longer play actively.  This new format removes the inactive players from the Boards.  If the inactive become active again, their standings will go back to where they were before (*adjusted for new rankings, of course).

Anyway, with this new system in place, I have been given a big jump to my standings in osu!mania.  I am ranked #648 in the U.S., and #11,522 in the world.  This is great for me, because it means that if I stay active and others become inactive, my ranking will naturally raise higher and higher because the inactive players will be removed from the list.

Unfortunately, that also means that until I become better at Osu! standard, I won't be back on that leader board until I rank on a map again.  It's the only mode of the game that I don't play well.

Finally, I completed a few more quests in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 today.  I have made it to the third area of the game (Baptiste something).  And I started to play The World Ends With You today as well.  I am not used to always using the stylus, so this game will take some getting used to.

Well, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 94: An early turn-in.

I am heading to bed directly after posting this and sharing it with the world, so I will try and make this quick.

I still haven't played GTA Online.  They company says that most of the problems that I have come across were fixed this morning.  I say that at 5pm today, the problems were still there.  On top of that, I had to remake my character because it didn't save, despite me clicking Save & Continue.  So now I made my character and I look similar.  I gave him a similar hair style, and I gave me a similar facial hair pattern.  I did advance to the start of the initial scene in multiplayer a couple times.  But that was it.

In other news, I continued the story in Final Fantasy Tactics A2.  I will be taking my DS with me to work tomorrow, because I may finish early enough to need something to do.  I have to be in town until at least 9am to pay the electric bill, so I think I'll need something.  Especially if I finish at 7am like I did two weeks ago.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 93: Thoughts on GTA V Online

I can't say I have any thoughts on the actual online gameplay.  The farthest I have gotten was the character creation menu.  Actual play time eluded me.  First, I didn't get to perform the update until 7:30am.  After that, I spent three hours just trying to get to the player creation menu.  I must say, I like how that is similar to the creation system in The Sims.

I tried multiple times to actually play.  And each time I was either unable to play because the server didn't have any compatible rooms with crew members, or they failed to connect me with a host room, or it was timed out and took too long to connect me with the server.

I am currently doing a system update on my PS3, so I will attempt to connect with GTA V online again once that's finished.  Until then, I will talk a bit about my other gaming things today.

I am now a member of four GTA V crews.  I have been receiving requests all day.  I denied the last three, because they were not the kind of groups I wanted to be associated with.  Even though the game has a drug theme, I won't play as part of a group that focuses on that.  And my active crew is currently 00rganizedCrimeLords.  I chose to switch my active crew because I was ranked higher in the hierarchy than in the other crews.  Two of the crews I am part of are now in the 21-50 division, one is in 6-20, and the last is 1-5.

I received a couple games in the mail today.  The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.  I played the former enough to know that it works, and I have put in about 90 minutes with the latter.  I have completed two quests in FFTA2 so far.  It seems to be an okay game.  However, I am not good at Tactics games, so I expect a rage quit in the near future.

The system update is still not complete (86%), so I will just wait to see how far I get in GTA V Online.

25 minutes later...

I tried multiple times to play online mode, but to no avail.  I guess I will try again later.  Maybe when the initial wave of players stops playing and goes back to their real lives.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 92: Month 3 Review

I spent the day playing Grand Theft Auto V and getting ready for when online starts up.  I was thinking it would start at midnight, but I guess it's starting at 7am now.  That gives me about eight hours to get as much done with the story as possible.  However, I really REALLY hate Trevor.  I have never hated a video game character this much before.  The reasoning behind this is personal, so I will ask that you check out my personal life blog at TFF for more information.

In other GTA V news, I was invited to join a crew.  It is called the Bay Area Kings, and they have seven members currently.  I am surprised that I was invited to join them, because I don't know any of them.  However, it is possible that I do know at least one of them.  I just don't recognize any of their PSN names.  As for Ohio Moguls, we now have 18 members.  I have sent PSN friend requests to all of them that play using a PS3.  Anyway, it will be nice when online starts so we can see our play styles and who works well with who.  As for which crew I will make as my active crew, I think I will stick with Ohio Moguls for now.  But that may change.

So, today is the end of Month 3 in this 6-Month Challenge.  This month has proven to be the least effective in lowering the number of games I have yet to complete.  But it's my own fault for spending most of my gaming time playing a RPG.  Anyway, I have already resigned myself to the fact that I won't complete all of the games I own in six months.  It was pretty much impossible to begin with.  And now that GTA V's online will be starting tomorrow morning, I will be spending less time completing the challenge.

But that doesn't mean I'm totally giving up.  I still have three months to get as much done as possible.  My goal for the next month is to complete at least one game.  I want to complete more, and I will try.  Another goal is to finish some of the games I already have save files for.  With them just sitting there not being played, they're taking up room for games I want to play.  So Month 4 will be the finish what I have already started month.

Anyway, that's all from me for tonight.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 91: Almost there...

I looked at a walkthrough's table of contents today to see how close I am to completing Xenosaga Episode I.  I am almost finished!  There are only two more areas left, the Song of Nephilim and Proto Merkabah.  I personally don't see why they are calling some upside-down pyramid a Song.  Yeah, there's a Song playing when you are near it, but that's no reason to call the entire building (or ship, or whatever it is) the Song.

Anyway, I have the fifth and sixth levels of the first tower left to explore before I move on to the other tower(s?).  The entire party is at Level 27.  I am not sure if this is high or low compared to other players' playthroughs of the game.  I know that it is nowhere near what I am usually at when I play RPGs.  I just know that this game isn't really the type that has a lot of variety for grinding areas.

I am still on the leader board for this month's osu!mania competition.  I am in 25th Place.  I will be so happy if I manage to stay on this month.

And I took a break from Grand Theft Auto V today to focus on Xenosaga Episode I.  It will be nice to have finished one game this month.  I don't think I finished any yet.

Well, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 90: Hide and Seek

I managed to defeat Tiamat in Xenosaga Episode I on the first try today.  After that, I continued the story, and now I am stuck at the Kukai Foundation because I have to find the residents before that Gnosis kill them.  I have found 12 of the 13 people.  The last one is so difficult to find.  In the end, I grew bored of running around the area not finding the person, and turned the game off.

In GTA V, I increased my completion percentage.  Right now, I am at 12.65% complete.  I am planning on getting more done before online starts.  I have progressed the least among the crew I am in, and that can be seen as a bad thing.  I wouldn't want to not be chosen as a teammate for something because I have the least amount of progress in the game.

Anyway, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 89: One reason why I never finish games.

When I get a new video game, I have the tendency to not stick with the game files I start and then start several more.  It happens with every game, I think.  And today, it happened with Grand Theft Auto V.  I just decided that I wanted to start over, now that I am getting more acquainted with the controls.  Another reason I started over in GTA V was because I accidentally had Michael smoke his son's bong.  The text on the screen is so small that I couldn't read it, and in order to find out what it said, I had to choose to do it.  If my television was HD, then I wouldn't have this trouble.

Anyway, starting over when I have barely begun is something I always do, it seems.  Open world games, RPGs, shooters, racing, rhythm games, everything.  It's the perfectionist in me that wants to play just right the first time.  Eventually, I will cave in and just go to finish the game; but not after starting over at least five times.  The good thing to report is that I am almost back to where I was before starting over.

Well, that's all for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 88: Crew

I found a crew for online gameplay in Grand Theft Auto V.  It is called Ohio Moguls and is filled with players from my area.  I know none of them, because even having a PS3 in this area is rare, let alone having a brand new game.  I sent PSN friend requests to all of the members that are PS3 users, as well as friend requests on the crew page.  Anyway, the crew seems like a good group of people.

I am now at 13.20% complete with Grand Theft Auto V.  It was the only game I played today, unless you count the google doodle game when I loaded up google chrome to type this.  I was so tired after I got home from work that I slept off and on since I got back.

Well, I am up now, so I should be online for a while.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 87: A couple GTA V Spoilers in this entry.

I played a bunch of sudden death matches in Osu! today, and came out on top for most of them. In fact, of the 17 matches I played, I failed in only 2. Also, of those 17 matches. I placed first in 12 of them. For full match results, click here. However, the results are only kept for one month because of server limitations.

WARNING: The following paragraph contains SPOILERS!

I also played some Grand Theft Auto V today. I am at 10% complete right now. It seems like the missions are less serious than in other games. It's like the characters are having fun being parasites of society. I mean, Michael (the character, not me) really enjoyed tearing down that house using the winch in his truck.  Not only that, but even I got a laugh when the LifeInvader founder had his phone blow his head off.  Now, I know I shouldn't be having this much fun with the game. But when the people I am playing as are having fun doing it, I can't help but be thoroughly entertained as well.

This ends the SPOILERS.

I am glad that there is a taxi service that can take me wherever I need to go. Despite having played GTA: San Andreas. Los Santos is so different in GTA V that I don't know where things are right now. Maybe it's just me and the graphics are playing tricks with my mind, making me think I am somewhere else. I do like how when you load up the game, you don't start at the safehouse. It's like the characters have their own lives outside of when I am playing. The only bad thing I have found with the actual gameplay is that someone didn't like Franklin stopping to check his phone while the guy was exercising, and felt it appropriate to start punching Franklin. (That's not a spoiler, because it wasn't linked with anything story-wise.) Franklin was nice about it and killed him by fighting back. I didn't use guns for that kill, because I am still not good at shooting in this game. I need to practice some more before the online starts.

I am having trouble in Xenosaga Episode I.  I still haven't defeated Tiamat.  I can get close, but I run out of reviving items.  It's just poor item management on my part.  I will get through this.  I just have to be more cautious when choosing attacks.

And with that, I am off to find a crew to join for GTA Online.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 86: I can't win because of her...?

As much as I would have liked to have played Grand Theft Auto V today, I told myself that I'd try and finish Xenosaga Episode I or some other game first.  And I spent the last few hours play Xenosaga Episode I.  The party has joined up again at some church.  I am up against a very odd boss.  It's Tiamat, who in other games is the fiend of wind.  In this particular battle, Tiamat has to be defeated twice; once by Shion and once by Jr.  The problem with that is Shion was KO'd, and I have no reviving spells or items to bring her back.

So, I gave up and turned the PS2 off.  That's why I am typing this now.  I wasn't able to win, so I am taking a break from it.  I will try again sometime.

Everything else gaming related is the same.  I am still at about the same rank in Osu!, and I am still on the leader board in the monthly competition for osu!mania.  Other than that, there's not much to report for today.  So, I will end this here.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 85: Grand Theft Auto V - First Impressions

So, today my copy of Grand Theft Auto V arrived in the mail.  I played about four hours of it today.  So, I will be posting my first impression of the game.

It took quite a while for the game to install, so during that time I looked through the literature that came with the game.  I really like how detailed the map is, and how many things there are to do in this game.  I was a bit disappointed that Las Venturas and San Fierro are not on the map anymore.  Looking at the map, it's like an earthquake hit and Los Santos became separated from the rest of the state.

Then there was also the "manual" and a code for a blimp.  The manual isn't like the ones from other GTA games, and that kind of sucks.  I enjoyed reading them, because they were more than just a manual.  One was a travel guide, another a newspaper, another a tabloid magazine.  But to save the planet, there is a digital manual online.  I have the manual's web page in another tab, but it's not showing anything.  And I haven't used the code for the blimp yet.

I will try not to spoil anything with the story, because the game is so new.  But I really like the game so far!  What I will say right now is that my favorite playable character so far is Chop.  Second favorite is Michael (naturally).  The graphics, as my Dad said when he visited, is very lifelike.  The cars are so cool looking.  And probably my favorite part of the game is that there are dogs in the game.  Or a dog.  I haven't seen any others.

I would like to either make a crew or be a part of one for the online gameplay when it starts.  I made a post about maybe starting a crew on a forum I am a member of, so I will join if we start one.  I am excited to play when the online begins.  As much as I love the story of Grand Theft Auto IV, I loved the online playing much more.  And if I am part of a crew, I will have people I know playing alongside me.  If anyone is interested, my PSN name is me3lingual, and I accept all friend requests.  And if you are playing GTA V, I will be sure to play with you whenever.

Well, overall the game is great so far.  I can't wait to play more, and I won't have to wait long.  I am going to load it up again as soon as this is posted.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Michael, aka me3lingual, aka 情郎

Day 83: I can't seem to count.

Today I managed to get through another long series of cutscenes in Xenosaga Episode I.  And just as the party had finally come together, they were split up once again into two groups.  Jr., MOMO, and Ziggy in one group; chaos and Shion with Alan in the other group.  Right now I am controlling Jr., MOMO, and Ziggy in what I think is Jr.'s memory of Miltia from fourteen years ago.  The battles seem fine, I just have to dodge the searchlights.  I really like how the story is coming along, and I want to know more about it.

I moved my black PS2 over to the bigger television so I wouldn't be uncomfortable while I play.  My desk chair broke, and it makes playing video games on the small television not as fun.

I had Osu! up and running most of the day, but I didn't play.  I just wanted to listen to music today.

Grand Theft Auto V didn't arrive today.  It spent a whole day going from one part of Columbus to another part of Columbus (UPS warehouse to Post Office).  If things go well, it may arrive on Monday.

Well, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
