I've been playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite a lot this past week, a lot more than I used to. I think I'm finally becoming pretty decent at the game. After all, I can finally take on that Yian Kut-Ku without losing any health now. But recently, I've actually been wanting more of a challenge. So what do I do? Toss aside my ranged weapons (which I love oh so much,) and pick up some melee weapons, which naturally provide more of a challenge since I lack that protective bubble of space around my current target.

I've even begun to play some more multi-player. This game is great solo, but man, multi-player is something else. I'm somewhat popular with the people I play with, I tend to bring more supportive weapons like the Sword and Shield, the Hunting Horn or the Light Bowgun, though I know a freak or two who won't take me because of those weapons. Says they're "worthless." Ah well, he doesn't want my help, he won't get it. However, I think it's time I took a more offensive role in a group. Maybe it's time to start training with a Greatsword, or maybe work on my Lance some more.

Ah, such a fun game, and a great way to pass the mass of time I seem to have.
