Fallout 1/2 are easily the games I've completed the most amount of times. God in like 2003 I must've completed those games twice a month. With the NMA patch/restoration project those games are even better.

Props, those games are insanely tough.



Fallout is a really fun universe for games, there are so many nice little touches that really bring it alive. I'm really hoping for something new, though. I don't just want FO3 plus Boston. New Vegas was veeeeeeeery samey to 3.

Playing Megaman X 1 and being a badass about it. The only upgrade I got before Sigmas fortress was the mandatory legs upgrade, and I got it right away.

Boss observations:
Chill Penguin: Goes down like a chump.
Storm Eagle: Goes down like a speedy chump.
Spark Mandril: Sometimes a little tricky but once you know his pattern he's easy.
Armored Armadillo: **** THIS GUY. It's not that the fight is that hard, it's just that it's so damned long because he only takes 1 damage no matter the charge level of your gun and you have to get him to pulse his armor in order to get another shot on him while he's on the ground.
Sting Chameleon: This one can be tricky, but as long as you avoid his tongue attack it's not that bad.
Boomer Qwuanger(sp?): Just stick to the walls and wait out his teleporting phases, then drop down and blast him. Easy.
Launch Octopus: The only real danger is when he launches his 4 huge missiles at once. Good chance he will also jump when you bounce off the wall to dodge. Can otherwise just shoot his regular missiles down with rapid fire buster shots.
Flame Mammoth: Goes down like an overweight chump.

Vile: No walls means you gotta be fast on the ground and dodge everything. Kinda hard fight.
Bosspider: Not that hard if you can figure out its path along the vines.
Rangda Bangda: Sticking to the walls helps. Long fight, but not too technically difficult:
Ugly Demon Car Thing that I don't know the name of: Well so far this is the only boss that's got me stumped. Ugly piece of ****.

I'm anticipating that only Sigma's final form will be any challenge in the last stage. Three bosses with only 16hp, no armor, and no subtanks. Gonna be a fun fight.

So, they removed Kuduku's hill from PoE. Now it's just standing on flatland. And yes, there is an outrage over it.

Awesome news that you can edit player attributes.

One of the things I have never liked about the NHL series is that there isn't enough separation between top 6 and bottom 6 guys.

Thinking I will buy NHL16, after skipping NHL15.


I'll be replacing some of the Wild's lesser prospects with their college counterparts that don't appear in the game. Wooo, Alex Tuch

Borderlands is a very.... different... game. It obviously has a large fanbase and some people absolutely love everything about it. I played Borderlands 2 last year, which was the first (and only) one I've played. I don't know, I couldn't get into it as much, though I would still say I enjoyed it. Hard to describe what I didn't like.

Not that you wouldn't like it, but it's really one of those hit-or-miss type games IMO.

BL2 is the bomb but it takes some getting used to and patience in my opinion. The beginning is very slow and boring.

I agree with that. Started the game for a few hours and then didn't touch it for like a year because I couldn't get into it. Picked up and got much better as it went on.

I also thought it was brutally difficult at times, though I was playing solo the whole time. I feel like I was just missing something the whole time and I never really had too many great guns.

Having a dumb issue in my Fallout 3 playthrough on PC. My laptop sucks terribly, so I pretty much have to have all settings down on low/minimum just to run it.

As a result, when playing, enemies simply do not show up unless they are ~20 feet or less away from me. They just fade in when they get within shotgun range. I can get shot at by them but they just aren't there actually in view. I can see them on the radar/compass thing as a red enemy but I have to guess exactly where they are at until I can practically melee them.

It's annoying and thus far hasn't been that big of an issue, but it still blows.

Hopefully I can get a decent PC by the end of the summer. I really want to.

I really hope the Wii U turns things around and starts selling good. Would be nice to see that system get some damned third party support. But that's what's dogged every nintendo system since the N64 isnt it?

Gotta get those legendary weapons and a decent shield and even then it can get pretty darn difficult.
