I am getting so close to it, my Pokedex on my Pearl game is now 468 Seen and 468 Obtained. I only have pretty much legendaries, GSC starters, and a few of those oh-so-lovely unobtainables such as Mew, Jirachi and Darkrai to get. On top of that I plague myself with the task of getting one of EVERY type of Pokemon in the game. This will be hard...obviously, but hey, I love my Pokemon, all the way since the RBY generation. Aaah memories. So far I have spent around 300 hours on Pearl alone, now that shows what I do when I am bored. Regardless, I guess that's what a gamer does.

I have also been playing a good deal of Phantom Hourglass, considering I need a new rush of a different DS game from Pokemon Pearl for a change. I have unearthed a way to get unlimited ship parts, and unlimited treasures, the only downside is it requires a slight amount of patience (not too much however). It involves the tweaking of the DS clock, after I delightfully discovered that the game doesn't cry about calender alterations like the Pokemon games. I have got deeply back into Phantom Hourglass because as you might guess from the first paragraph, I am a Hoarder. I want everything, and one of everything at that. This makes games hard at times. I hate being determined to beat everything before I have even though about the storyline and when it will be completed.

I went and saw Coheed & Cambria on Monday Night at the UNSW Roundhouse. It was great, though naturally over-priced like the majority of concerts these days. They performed powerfully and played some epics like In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 and Welcome Home. Though it was the power of the 8-minute long epic The Willing Well IV : The Final Cut, that took the cup as the greatest single song I have ever seen performed live. The lead singer Claudio Sanchez harnessed that bizaar voice of his and layed out a spectacular solo on his double-guitar, screeching on for a five-minute individual solo, with each member following suit with their own 5-minute solos, though seperated in intervals, it all got stuffed into a 25-minute long finale that went off with the crowd unlike any other.

Another game I have been ecstatic about is the Wii port of three Resident Evil games, plus more, namely The Umbrella Chronicles. This on-rails shooter has captured me as a Resident Evil fanatic. It spans Resident Evil Zero, ReMake, 3 and there are added chapters in the game to add to the detail of each survivors adventure through the outbreak of the T-Virus. It captures as many moments as possible in 10 minute chapters. Each game has three chapters dedicated to the main storyline, and there are either two or three unlockable characters, in which you play characters you don't know the full story of, such as Albert Wesker, Rebecca Chambers and Ada Wong. I am going to go completionist on this game. This'll be fun.
