I started the day playing Metal Gear Solid 2. I am nearly finished with Solid Snake's part of the game. After that, I downloaded the new maps for Osu!. I also played some multiplayer.
After that, I worked on Pokémon White. I leveled up some of my party. I exchanged Timburr for Woobat.
The main game I played today was Need for Speed: Most Wanted. A friend asked for my help in getting a few trophies in multiplayer. I was happy to help. However, I didn't have the latest update of the game. And for some reason, it takes forever for NFS:MW updates to download. I had to wait most of the day for it to finish. The worst part was that power went out while it was downloading the first time. I had to start all over and do it again.
Anyway, we played for a while. We each earned a few trophies.
Well, I have work in the morning, and so I am going to end this here for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 121: Overwhelmed
Today was spent wishing that I could play fifty games at once. That seems to be the only way I can finish the challenge. I have so many games I am working on, and lots more that I haven't even started. And then with real life stuff as well, it's like there just isn't any chance of completing this thing.
I try to stay positive and laid back about the whole thing, playing it off as if I don't mind knowing that I won't finish the challenge, but you have to understand that I rarely start something that I can't finish. So, knowing that I won't be able to complete this challenge upsets me. And when you get a game that no matter how hard I try to finish like Xenosaga Episode I, it frustrates me to no end. That and Final Fantasy XIII are at the top of my list of games that I wouldn't mind using as target practice or frisbees.
And it doesn't help that the majority of the games I have take so long to finish. Like, why do I like RPGs so much!? Yeah, they have great stories and stuff, but they aren't really made for something like this challenge.
Anyway, tomorrow. Tomorrow I am going to try my best to play as much as possible. I don't have anything going on that I know of, so I will aim for finishing something.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 120: Where does he put it all?
I spent a huge portion of the day playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. While I was playing and leveling up, a though crossed my mind. Where does my character put all of the things he carries? I mean, other than his bow, quiver, and what equipment he wears, none of it shows. And considering he has a lot of potions, alchemy supplies, food, and books as well as backup weapons and armor, the backpack needed to carry all of it must be massive. Especially considering he is carrying 210 pounds with him. I mean, when a bandit comes up to him demanding he turn over all his gold, my character can't just go and ask the bandit to give him a minute so he can dig it out of his pockets. You know, maybe that's why the bandit is coming up to him demanding the gold and threatening to kill him. After all, what threat is someone who is carrying so much stuff that he can't see where he's going?
Right now, my character is in Cheydinhal trying to complete a quest from the Thieves Guild. I am also part of the Mages Guild now, and already have one recommendation (Bruma) in the bag. He is currently at Level 4.
Anyway, back to my original point. It isn't just the character in this game that journeys without some sort of luggage. Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid somehow has guns and hundreds or thousands of rounds of ammunition on his person near the end of the game. Where does he put that Stinger Missile launcher? Not to mention the PSG-1, FAMAS, and all of those rations. And what about the characters from Final Fantasy games? 99 of every item available and yet none of them have some kind of case or bag to hold them.
I would love to see a game where the party has a visible backpack or something containing their belongings. Something I'd like to see more of is the changing of appearance due to different equipment on the characters. Bethesda is on top of that. I wish it would be a part of JRPGs. It just isn't enough that the weapon changes. If they allow the weapon to change, then the equipment should also change.
Well, that's all from me. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 119: I am an idiot sometimes.
I learned today that I am able to go back up the elevator in Xenosaga Episode I without having to battle all of those Gnosis again. That is great news! It made getting my butt kicked by the final boss not as frustrating. I tried several times today to win, but still couldn't do it. Each time I made it to the final fight, but I lost when a sudden Dark Omen attack occurred. I never had a chance to prepare for the blast. If I could have guarded, I could probably have won.
I have made it to Castelia City in Pokémon White. I finally got out of the woods in Pinwheel Forest. Now, I will challenge the Gym, and hopefully move on quickly. I am almost to the point where I stopped playing the first time. As for my Pokémon, I have evolved a couple. I have Servine now, as well as a Musharna. There are also that a few should be evolving soon.
And then I spent several hours playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I did a couple quests, but nothing pertaining to the main story. I joined the Thieves Guild. Right now, my character is only at Level 2 with the Assassin job class. I really like the experience system in Oblivion compared to that of Skyrim. I think when I continue playing it (whenever that will be), I will try and work on the main story.
However, I am really wanting to get Xenosaga Episode I finished first. I just have to be even more defensive than I already am.
Well, that's all from me. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 118: Fragments
I have been collecting fragments in Final Fantasy XIII-2 off and on all day today. One thing I know about this game is that even though I have spoiled the ending, I still am so surprised at how this story is going to reach the ending. For instance, I never thought I would be opening up new timelines. I thought it would just be going from one place to another. I didn't expect that the game would have the chance to see the effects of my actions throughout the story.
Mog is probably my favorite character in the game. I just like him so much. Especially when he gets thrown to fetch the treasure. And all of the fragments about him are so funny. Like the one where he talks about how he went up against Lightning and lost.
Anyway, I have I think 23 fragments now. I have recently unlocked the casino area and a couple others, if that gives you an idea as to my current position in the game.
I also played Osu! today, working on improving my ranks in both the monthly competitions as well as the overall standings. I saw today that I was knocked off the Taiko competition leaderboard, and I wasranked #40 in osu!mania. There are still about three weeks to improve my standings in the competitions. It will be difficult, at least in osu!mania. There are only two songs in the competition, which means there's only a maximum of two million points possible. I currently have 1,164,453. And considering the difficulties of those songs, I was lucky to get that amount. As for Taiko, there are nine songs, but I don't know how they get so many points. I don't think I have much of a chance on getting back on that leaderboard.
As for the overall standings, I am currently #11,879 in the world, and #653 in America. I am still working on going through my library of maps and playing the ones I haven't tried in a long time. And I still download the newest maps as the become approved and ranked. I like having first place in a map, even if for only a short time.
Well, that's all the gaming news I have for today. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 117: Dust Collecting
Today I played a little of Final Fantasy XIII-2. I managed to defeat the flan-thing that Snow is fight when you first get to 300 A.F. I somehow stuck it out long enough to defeat it. And it was on the first try as well. After that, I got two artefacts, and discovered two new times. And then I discovered yet another new time when I went to the Coliseum.
I think that will be my main game for tomorrow. I also want to try Xenosaga Episode I once more. Maybe after these last few days of not thinking about it will allow me to win finally.
I am also starting yet another attempt at finishing the main story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Other than that, I spent the day sleeping. I really need to try and catch up on my sleep. Since I am still in the Pinwheel Forest, sleep will be the only thing I catch tonight. Anyway, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 116: My Eyes Hurt.
The only gaming I did today was checking to see if my copy of Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded works. It arrived in the mail today. When I got home from work, my eyes felt like they wanted to melt, so I slept a long time. I even answered the phone today and don't remember what I said or who or what the person on the other end was or said. I was just so tired when I got home.
Anyway, I am done buying video games. At least for a while. If all goes well, I will only have to purchase the two newest Final Fantasy games (Lightning Returns and XV) when they are released. I really hope I win a copy of X/X-2 HD. It will save me $40.
But until then, I still have so many games I need to play. Tomorrow should be filled with all sorts of gaming done. I wish I could say that I have a game I can one shot and play through tomorrow, but I don't think I do. If I did, I would be more than happy to do it just to get it checked off the list. Oh well. I will think of something.
Anyway, the poll for the Talent Competition ends at 3:30pm EDST tomorrow (Friday). That's give you all about 13 hours to sign up as a member of EnixOrigin forums, and vote for me. I really hope you vote for me!
