I thought this day would never come.

Just fired up Phantasy Star Universe to play the last available story mission for Chapter 3. Tomorrow, they're doing a big mission fest that wraps things up and should, finally, give up the last achievement, for killing Dark Falz 2.

I AM SO GLAD TO FINALLY BE DONE WITH THIS MESS and will probably just move on to Phantasy Star Zero on the DS but still HALLELUJAH.

Chop chop.

Man, Afro Samurai would probably have been a good enough game, and easy enough to beat, if it hadn't been for the fact the copy GFly sent me was scratched. I was just getting good at the focus slicing and everything. Grr.

Yeah, it's been awhile. Finally got my own system fixed now that my friend took his backup back due to a red ring, and have been sticking mostly to Rock Band 2 and Burnout Paradise. Got to the final license run, and I must say, the Takedown 4x4's upgraded version wins pretty much everything by using my old Wipeout Fusion tactic: get in the heaviest, fastest thing you can (in Wipeout's case, a Tigron ship with upgraded shields) and just plow through everything else while you ride the walls. 50 wins left to go, and the only things this beast can't handle besides Burning Runs are Stunt Runs.

My other recommendation? Drink up before you drive. At least for me, it lessens my concerns about other cars on the road.

Might start using this to discuss the crappy movies I've been watching, too, as well as the good ones. Instant Queue is the stuff of the gods.

I'm still here.

Haven't been posting, but have still been playing. I'm not sure if I want to keep up with the reviews so much since it's all old content and has already been pretty well covered by more reputable gaming media. I will at least try to keep track of my progress through the alphabet of 360 games here, and probably do writeups of stuff I find notable, but really, it's not like you can't find achievement discussion at Xbox360Achievements.

Right now I've been getting a lot of games beginning with the letter F, and most recently, Frontlines: Fuel Of War. Probably giving that a spin later today. Also been playing a decent amount of Left 4 Dead. If you have friends that have it, get it, and play with them, because the single player blows but multiplayer is amazing.

Look forward to next month, when I post pics of myself dressed as Peter Pepper.
