Okay, so I started playing Fallout: New Vegas today. It's okay so far. I had to get rid of my save file of Ni No Kuni in order to start it, but I didn't feel bad because I hadn't played it in months. Anyway, it is very orange. I had to change the color of the status stuff on the bottom of the screen in order to make the game seem less orange. I like the story so far. I haven't met any children in the game, which was something you have thrown at you in Fallout 3. And at the price I paid for it, it was a good deal.
I had another osu! training session today. I am getting better. Not much better, but better. After that was over, I went and played some of the newest maps that were added just for fun. And since they didn't have a lot of plays on them, I earned performance points and raised my rank. So now, instead of #307,224, I am now ranked #207,211. And it was because of a few songs. I fully expect to lose what performance points I have when the songs I earned them on get played more. I just wasn't expecting there to be a jump of this size.
The plan for tomorrow is to bring either my DS or PSP with me to work just in case I have nothing to do and have to wait for stuff. Then once I get home, I will probably play something on a console. Then in the evening, it will be more osu! tournament training. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 135: Counting Down...
After this entry, there will only be 49 days left in the year. This also means that I only have 49 days to finish the challenge, or get as close to completion as possible. Either way, it also means that this blog will be finished in 49 days. And that's probably worse than not completing the challenge.
Anyway...
Today I continued the main storyline of Fallout 3. I am now on my way to Rivet City, which is someplace I have never been to in my previous attempts at playing this game.
And I also completed a few more missions in Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core. I haven't continued its main story in a few days now.
And finally, I had my first training session with a fellow participant in the Osu! Challengers Beginners League Tournament. I learned that even if there are only two people in the Beginner's League, I will still have my work cut out for me if I am going to win. During our training, I lost every time I think. I may have won once. I will have to keep practicing if I am going to win.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 134: They don't match! Go Fish!
Okay, let's say you buy a video game. On your home, you are looking at the case and the manual (if it comes with a manual - stupid green initiative) and you are imagining the main character. How he battles, walks, interacts with others. But most importantly, the way he talks. You finally get the game home and you turn it on. The main character opens his mouth, and it is NOTHING like how you imagined it.
Well, that is how it is with me and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. Zack's voice is nothing like how I imagined it. I was expecting a deeper voice with some power to it. And I got a boyish voice instead. If I hadn't been sitting down, I probably would have fallen from the shock of disappointment.
Oh well, I guess I have to live with it. I can't return a video game because the main character's voice doesn't match the way he looks.
I am entering an osu!standard tournament! Here's a link with the information:
Osu! Challengers Tournament
Anyway, we really need more people to apply for participation, especially in the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. There's also an Expert level, and there have been 26 entrants to sign up. The level I am in (Beginner) only has two entrants, me and someone else. So, please, sign up and play Osu! with us.
And with that, we have come to the end of this entry. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 133: A little bit of a lot
This will be a quick post because I didn't really play enough of any one game to go into a lot of detail about anything.
I played Fallout 3, but then the game randomly was sent back to the Home Screen.
I began Terra's story in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. I am not sure I like the game, but I do like the mini game that reminds me of Fortune Street.
In Crisis Core, Zack fought a bunch of enemies from Wutai.
Oh, and I got my half-million GTA$ that they were giving out to every online player in October.
That's pretty much it. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 132: Connecting the Device
First, I will update you on the recent matches at the Osu! World Cup.
I am really good at guessing who is going to win the matches. So far, I have earned 1,950 points out of 2,500 in the little side game that goes along with the actual matches. There were a few technical problems today that delayed some matches, and two were even postponed. Anyway, if everything gets taken care of with the program, I expect another full day of matches to keep me entertained.
While I was waiting for the matches to start, I would play Dissidia Final Fantasy. I managed to finish Cecil's, Tidus's, and Firion's Odysseys. Rather than move on to one of the other characters' Odysseys, I felt brave and began to challenge the next stage of the game. This is when Cosmos "dies" and the world becomes filled with darkness, and it is up to the heroes to save it (I think). I mean, it doesn't seem like it was saved because there is a sequel. But anyway, I chose to do Chapter 1 with Tidus. His character is one I feel most comfortable with using in the battles compared to Firion, Cecil, and Cloud.
I finally figured out how to connect my PSP with PSN, so now I can download games for the PSP. But you can be assured that I won't be buying any games for it. Because then it adds even more to the list. Speaking of which, my copy of Fallout: New Vegas should be here in the next few days.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 131: I hate you, Cecil! That's why I never finished your game!
My PSP arrived today in the mail. And the first game I am playing with it is Dissidia: Final Fantasy. I tried them all to make sure they work, but Dissidia is the one I was looking forward to playing the most after reading the manuals. I have already finished the Cloud's bit of the story. The difficulty was only 1-Star, and since I am new to the game I figured I'd start out simple. And I didn't have any problems with it. Even the battle against Sephiroth was easy.
And then I moved on to Cecil's story. Though it is also a 1-Star difficulty, it feels like 6-Stars. I have had nothing but difficult battles. I gave up after fighting fake Sephiroth. I tried over and over, which was really bad, because it lowers my Story Points for the level each time I retry. In the end, I gave up and took a Destiny Point deduction, which totally killed the mood. So I ended up not saving and have to do all of Cecil's story over, I think. If you had been within 100 feet of my house, you probably would have heard me yelling something along the lines of "Cecil, I hate you! You suck! You're the reason I never finished Final Fantasy IV! No one likes you!" or "Sephiroth you jerk! Stop hitting me, you stupid meanie! You are the reason why I never finished Final Fantasy VII! I hope you die!" You know, normal rage phrases like that.
As for the other games, I have played them all enough to get to the first Save Point. Crisis Core seems fun, as does Dissidia 012 (and why wouldn't it). Birth by Sleep I am not sure about. That one will have to wait until I get further along in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix before I take more of an interest right now.
In other gaming news, the Osu! World Cup started today. I managed to watch every match except the first one, which was Taiwan against Indonesia. Here's a rundown of the results so far:

Indonesia - 4 vs. Venezuela - 0
Japan - 4 vs. Canada - 1So far, there has been one upset; and that was where Argentina lost to the Netherlands. As for the little betting game the game has going on, I currently have 600 of 800 points possible. The United States doesn't play until tomorrow afternoon, and I am looking forward to watching the watch. Until that time comes, I will be playing Dissidia and watching the other matches. Well, that's all from me. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 130: What's the point if the player isn't here?
Because I am feeling really sore from work today, I will be copying and pasting a portion of my personal life blog here in this gaming blog. It is on the subject of the PSP games I ordered. But first, I will mention that I played a few more of the repetitive games in Atari Anthology. I marked them off, and not the total is 49 games on the list that have been completed.
Anyway, here's the bulk of my day in the gaming I do.
Well, that's all from me for today. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Anyway, here's the bulk of my day in the gaming I do.
So, I guess you can say that I called it. I received the PSP games today, but not the actual PSP. And not because it couldn't fit in the mailbox or something like that. No, it was sent to Proctorville, Ohio. I guess the seller put the wrong zip code on it, or wrote it so badly that the sorting machine sent it to the 45669 pile instead of the 45660 pile. Luckily, there is no Conaway Road or anything remotely close to it in Proctorville, Ohio. If there had been, I think I would be out $90 and some lucky person would have a slightly used PSP and copy of Birth by Sleep.
I was so worried that I called the Proctorville post office this afternoon. The postmaster there noticed it and said that it was on it's way and that he even noticed the package today. This made me feel so relieved. Now my PSP is back in Columbus being sorted once again. I really hope that this was simply a glitch with the postal service's sorting machine and not something caused by the seller. I won't hesitate to leave a less-than-perfect feedback if the seller used illegible handwriting.
So, I read the manuals of the two Dissidia games and Crisis Core instead of getting to play them today. They seem like a lot of fun in the manuals. I think I may break and watch more gameplay of it on YouTube. It really sucks having them in my possession and not be able to do anything with them.
Oh well. If I'm lucky, the PSP will be here tomorrow and I will have something else to play.
Well, that's all from me for today. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
