- Cellphone (in case we got separated, we always keep in touch) - Sandwich or a a Boiled Egg - Slippers, if my shoes get tired and needs to breathe - Handhelds (DS and PSP) if nothing to do or taking a rest - Big shoulder bags for keeping the goodies, wheeled bags were a bad idea and ended up hitting people's feet >_> - Bottle of water, to keep hydrated - Camera for cosplay pictures - Wallet for buying stuffs - Face Towels, to wipe the perspiration outta us - Chargers (very important, especially on cellphones and camera) Always prepare before the con! ;)

A while ago, I just beat [b]Shikigami no Shiro III[/b] on the PC. I dared myself going for the hardest difficulty using Koutarou Kuga Type-A. 1st stage was smooth sailing but on 2nd up to the last, got screwed up but managed to pull through...with 6 continues. Not bad on my first attempt!

[b]NES:[/b] Battle City. I can't remember much of my childhood except this game with blocks and tanks. [b]SNES:[/b] Street Fighter 2 [b]Gameboy:[/b] Dr. Mario [b]Gameboy Pocket:[/b] Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. My cousin owns both the handheld and the game. [b]Gameboy Color:[/b] Pokemon Crystal. All of my tears, sweat and blood were poured in it. [b]Gameboy Advance:[/b] Digimon Battle Spirit. Borrowed both handheld and game during HS days. [b]Gameboy Advance SP:[/b] Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow [b]PS1:[/b] Raiden Project. Can't say how fun this game is. [b]PS2:[/b] NamcoXCapcom. I got hyped for this game. [b]GameCube:[/b] Super Smash Bros. Melee [b]Dreamcast:[/b] Sonic Adventure [b]Nintendo DS:[/b] Pokemon Ranger. Beaten it in 2 days. [b]Nintendo 64:[/b] Star Fox 64. I'm a sucker for playing SNES Star Fox too much :P [b]PS3:[/b] Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. First game played after buying the console. [b]PSP:[/b] Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower

Taking a break from playing Touhou, my direction set from an another bullet hell game called [b]Shikigami no Shiro[/b] just a week ago. So far, I'm enjoying it and had the chance to play all 3 Shikigami series (minus the VN one, I can't stand heavy text games honestly). The story's good if you're playing alone but if on co-op, it gets either wacky or annoying depending on the character(s) chosen. I still can't remove this game on my PS2 :P DS, I got sick of raising Pokemon in Soul Silver so relying on Feraligatr and Swampert to sweep off the Kanto Gym Leaders.

[b]PS3[/b] Playing Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 since January 2010 [spoiler]Belius is defeated and scene gets a bit emo but all went well. Now going back for the missing synthesis for Estelle and farming for new items. Grinding is not my problem, I can use this to train more (number of times fled is 0 flat, even getting killed!) and max out some spammable skills that I use on Yuri (Ensenga and Gouretsushuu FTW).[/spoiler] [b]NDS[/b] Finished Fuurai no Shiren DS 2 and [spoiler]haven't started on the post-game dungeons. Too many to tackle so going one by one for the meantime.[/spoiler] Pokemon Soul Silver, [spoiler]all 8 badges get, on the way to Indigo Plateau but first, catching Lugia is a priority! *buys 99 Pokeballs*[/spoiler] then trying out Phantasy Star Zero and Rockman Zero Collection (expert at MMZ 1-3) later on. [b]GBA[/b] [spoiler]Touhoumon is ruled over and I'm loving it (playing Emerald English). Sorry Pokemon, but you're too much.[/spoiler] [b]PC[/b] I can't believe I cleared Touhou Seirensen...on Easy (people will seriously laugh at you if you said that or saw you playing the said mode...they're ****ing unforgivable). Now's missing is Touhou Youyoumu.

^ Ooh, I am also playing this last night! But started again from scratch. Been a while after my long absence in here. I can't believe it. I was suppose to continue Kamen Rider Climax Heroes then suddenly, the file was gone! I'm so fed up clearing Decade Mode again (and attain S ranks) but for completion's sake, I have to. :( Rogue Galaxy. Ahh, I remember grinding my butt just for the hunting and ridiculously did some crazy combining that made it broken. Still, I get beaten up in return... Next, I suddenly got into Touhou fandom so where do I start? Touhou Eiyashou, Easy Mode didn't forgive me so I had to give a shot on Normal. I cleared it but... Touhou Kaeizuka, I beat Normal Mode using Aya Shameimaru but I forgot to save the replay *headdesks* Touhou Suimusou, the last stage made me rage. Touhou Hisouten, only one managed to get into Hard Mode. I dunno why I was able to beat it though... Touhou Hisoutensoku, I cleared Story Mode...now what's next? As for the Touhou fanmade games, Mystical Chain just blew me off. Maybe I should get back playing DQ8 for the meantime.

Been a while after my long absence here... So first: [B]Devil Summoner Kuzunoha Raidou tai Abaddon Ou[/B] on the PS2 [spoiler]I split my save files into two, one is for the Law while the other is Chaos. I decided to tackle down the Law Route first so I'll try my best to take the right answer on the said route. Last round against Jiroumaru put him out in the grave so the leftovers are those two black armored guys who were a total pain...but first, demon recruiting is my priority.[/spoiler] Then second, [B]Cid to Chocobo Fushigi na Dungeon: Toki Wasure no Meikyuu+[/B] on the NDS [spoiler]I can't say this is a good game compared to the Wii version but has some major changes on the story but I still finished the game on Normal Mode. The post-game was a huge pain in the butt (first was Volg's Memories which is WTF level 60) counting the Chocobo's Dungeon which is 99 floors LONG and Kuroma's Memories (though on the Wii version was Kuroma's Future like wtf) which consists of 5 floors that are on Level 90 (no kidding, they deal huge damage so easy boot out of the dungeon). So after when all of those are cleared, I got the powerful Shinryuu Claws (imbued with Light Elemental, Flying Killer, Large Killer, Dragon Killer, Undead Killer, Elemental Killer and Demon Killer) and Omega Saddle (imbued with Evasion Up, Darkness Guard, Silence Guard, Able to walk sleeping monsters w/o waking them up) though I might plan to add the Saddle with Light Resistance so it gets resistance to all elements then steal the Ribbon from Hakaishin so I can remove the Stat Guards in the Saddle.[/spoiler] Though I still have lots to rant but I can save them for the next post :D

So 2 days ago, I started playing Fate/Unlimited Codes on the PS2. Capcom somehow made a good job making it through though. [spoiler]Mission Mode wasn't funny, inputting combos made my thumb sore like hell, and I still have more characters to unlock even the other modes too. Good game all in all. But the inputs on making combo are practically slow neither doing it fast of slow still has its bad effect...or maybe it's just me I'm not playinh any fighting games for the past few months...[/spoiler]

For a change, I played Xenosaga Episode I: Chikara he no Ishi on the PS2. I seriously bought the pre-owned on Play-Asia yet it looked new to me so not bad for 25 bucks! [spoiler]Anyways, I had to do the things that I worked out on the US version of the same game. So far, I have all 15 mails (including the secrets) and been spending hours leveling up Shion to 11 for the sake of Shock Blade/Slot Shoot. I even enhance her stats before leveling up so as her Spell Ray (level 5, HI Slot). The main source of grinding? The AGWS simulator. Seems that there's no point of using AGWS throughout the game. Hell, I even smacked Ace Pilot's second phase without using AGWS which was brutal yet the damage was overwhelming. Never knew grinding with Shion ONLY (if she's the only one in the party, I keep all the party alive) was fun. Even that scenario where she and KOS-MOS will find MOMO on Kukai Foundation...oh hell yeah, it's grinding time for me!![/spoiler]

2 days ago, I finally got to play Sonic Unleashed on the PS2 and it was great. [spoiler]I felt some new elements while playing as Sonic on day and night. But the challenging part is I get to have all S ranks to complete the set number of Sun and Moon Medals to access all of the locked Gaia Gates scattered around the world. So far I got all S Ranks on Apotos, Mazuri and Holoska but Chun-nan is my biggest problem since I'm not used to Sonic the Werehog's controls yet.[/spoiler] Though I don't know if I should buy a Wii because of [spoiler]Castlevania Judgment[/spoiler]...

Castlevania: Order or Ecclesia or Akumajou Dracula: Ubawareta Kokuin. This game is impressive yet brings me to a whole new level of challenge. [spoiler]Skipping the intro, I managed to get most of the boss medals (without taking damage and having many attempts just to get it) and got some of the glyphs available in the specific dungeon (getting Vol Fulgur/Vol Trinits was a pie unless you know how the patterns run...) and done some of the villager quests (except for Aeon since I'm a bit impatient on the Killer Fish drops...). Currently on Tristis Pass for some quests along with the level grinding. Filename: 753IXA (Level 24, formerly named 'KAIHIDOU' and 'KENZAKI')[/spoiler]

I got scarred on Legretta as well on Unknown, took me about an hour to finish her off. I ended up dealing 1 at her most of the time whilst magic does like 40-90 damage which made my patience ran off. Sync was pretty easy to deal with but he deals damage like crazy. I use Guy most of the time( but people sometimes demand that "Everyone always uses Guy") and got the hang of using him. Even the [spoiler]Sever Wind/Dankuuken to Dragon Tempest/Ryuusou Senkuuha loop[/spoiler] was my favorite doing back then next to [spoiler]Nihil Tempest Blade/Kokuu Renshoujin[/spoiler] XD The only mage I used was Anise and Tear since I wasn't used to Jade before. Natalia was great too but most of her basic attacks were a bit laggy.

[quote name='Meggido']One thing I found interesting about this game is the fact that what is considered the hardest boss in the game can only be accessed on a New game + file. I love the final battle costumes for everyone I think they were better than their normal. Anise's was particularly funny as it also dresses her bear in the same costume. Anyway with What Dark said, if you ever need help Phenom I'll be happy to pop open my save file.[/QUOTE] Yeah, [spoiler]Nebilim is only available on the second play on the US Version unlike the Japanese Version which she is accessible on the first play[/spoiler]. Tear's final battle costume was great too and Guy's [spoiler]Dashing Gent/Smart Style[/spoiler] costume. And Anise's costumes are awesome too since there are times Tokunaga changes costume depending on Anise's Title Costume and [spoiler]her weapon changes too[/spoiler] (that applies to Tear's [spoiler]Locrian Colonel[/spoiler] costume as well)!

I mostly fought the Bosses in Unknown but there were times I couldn't take on the challenge so I simply turned down the Difficulty to Mania/Very Hard.

[quote name='Meggido']I got Lucky and only saw the dreaded game over screen once after losing to the final boss on my first try. sad I did only see it once because I discovered with that that certain bosses allow you to see a skit if you get gameover. (and playing an undubbed version all skits were voiced for me)[/QUOTE] Hey, I'm also playing the undubbed version as well! But I hate playing it over again from scratch (underleveled and slow...). If you're still having troubles, Phenom maybe me nor Meggido will be happy to help you here ;)
