Rather than doing it at night, I found it much easier in the broad daylight (around 4:40PM when I finished) to do. However, I will try to reach 500K tonight.

Well, actually I am at the 400,000 mark right now, I only stopped not because of boredom, but because I wanted to report that when I got to the 300,000 mark, my criminal rating changed from "Capo" to "Boss".

I got the 400,000 mark complete. You do not get a rank for getting to 400,000. I know you get the "Don" ranking at 500,000 and the "Godfather" ranking at 1,000,000.

My exact rating currently is: Boss [400,442]

I plan to be a "Don" by tommorow morning.

I was on 61% on level three a couple minutes ago. I logged off online, then logged back on, and now I am at 0% for Paper Boy on level 4...

COOL!!!!

I didn't get Death Jr Limited Edition.:cry:

Oh well, I guess I'll check ebay when I get some more money.

~~~

As far as My Vice City Progress, I was bored out of mind and only got up to 260,000. I will try to get back on track by getting to 400K tonight.

That was _klaus_ for ya.

P.S. I hope everyone realizes that this wasn't a suicide thing, the title was actually a quote from Flatliners by Keifer Sufferland, and I said Die in it because I was talking about Death Jr. the game. It was not a good day... (because I didn't get the game)...to die (die meaning "own Death Jr.").

Well, I am in the middle of getting my rank up to 300,000. I am at 250,000, and it is driving me insane with boredom. I'll let you know when I get to 300K in my next entry.

Well, I am finally back from a five day visit to my cousins in Pittsburgh. It was really enjoyable, and I got to play Dance Dance Revolution for the first time in my life. It was pretty fun. Among other things, we went Swimming, played with Firecrackers, reeked havoc in various ways upon the neighborhood, watched movies and a lot of other stuff.

Ironically, before I could even add in "Lumines" to "Games I am currently playing" section, I had already left for Pittsburgh. I actually rented the game right after I left the house, so I have been playing it on and off. It is/was suprisingly enjoyable and extremely addictive. My high score from memory is about 70,000, but I hear people can get past 100K! I am probably going to submit a review for it eventually. If you don't already know, it is for the PSP, and is a puzzle game, much like tetris. The concept is very simple. You stack blocks to make squares of the same color to get points. There are a couple other elements to the game, and loads of levels, but it is really fun. I must admit that when I first picked it up, I felt like returning it because of its weirdness, and what seemed like high difficulty. As you first start, eventually you will find out what the game is like, and will be greeted by the only annoying song in the game...of course its on the first level! why wouldn't it be???!!! >:( As you advance you unlock "skins" (backgrounds) which have different designs and music. I seriously am considering buying this game...if only I could get past "Talk 2 Me"!!! It is so fast-paced (though, I haven't really tried)! I am stuck before 100,000. Everyone says that once you get past that point, it is really easy to get higher scores...

Death Jr. comes out tommorow. The Limited Edition is available only through reservation. Today is the last day to reserve it, and I think since it is so close to the release date, you can only reserve it online. (only through EB games and gamestop) I don't even think I will be able to get it right away because of money reasons. Game Informer actually says it doesn't have good playability (it gave it a 7/10), but I fell in love with the cast of characters as soon as I saw their names, pictures and descriptions. What's better than playing as the son of the grimreaper right?

Perhaps Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Coming out in the end of this year, I think October, it looks to be an awesome game. I can't wait. The Godfather is also coming out Q1 2006 for both the PS2 and PSP (and other platforms). I definitely want to get it for the PS2. I am still debating on it for the PSP.

I am on the 200,000 criminal mark (capo) in Vice City. I plan to get to 300,000 tonight.

I also noticed my level increased dramatically to level 3. How did this happen? Last time I checked, I was on level two with 74%, and I did not log on one time while I was away! Oh well, its good for me anyways :)

Well, I will type more in later. That's what's new for _klaus_!!!

I get to visit my cousins!!!:D

Of course this means I won't be able to do that ranking thing, but who cares for now? I'll do it either when I get back or possibly even before I leave.

Well, it is very late into the night, and I am bored out of mind on this objective to reach godfather. However, I managed to reach the 200,000 mark.

My stats: Capo (200,045)

Money: $737,786

I didn't realize that the rank of "Underboss" was in between the 100,000 mark and the 200,000 mark until I looked at my screen while I was trying to acheive the 200,000 mark and saw I was an Underboss! I was Fredo or Tom or whoever else was an underboss!

I mainly did two 100,000 marks tonight because I have to go away, and I wanted to get a little done before I left.

Alright, after what felt like a month, even though it was a little over an hour or something, I got to the 100,000 rating point.

Here are my exact stats:

Lieutenant (100,456)

Cash: $737,786

~~~

I figure I will try and do 100,000 rating points every night, for 10 nights. Not consecutively, as tommorow (or I guess technically today) afternoon I go to my cousins, so I won't be able to.

I heard that if you get to vigilante mission 400, you max out your money and get 200,000 crime points. I'll do that at the 800,000 mark. Then I will have truely mastered this game.

I'll keep you posted.

I just re-beat Tomba! again. However, this was the first time I got all the events completed AND the 16 HP. Here are my stats:
Time Counter Reads 7:30
Events 127/130
A lot of items, I ate Yan's lunch just for fun after I got the event "Take Out" completed. 7 pieces of cheese and a Kokka claw or something, blue powder, 2 of those bunk flowers, all equipment, all weapons, accessories, those two fish, bronze and silver metal, lots of other random stuff, all the bells, all the keys, the boss' jewel, more stuff...
HP: 16/16
AP: 2 Million +
6/7 friends found, the seventh friend of course is Baron

4 saves on 1 memory card, then another 4 four on my second memory card.

All read the same time and have all the same stats, and saved at The Village Of All Beginnings.

I am currently attempting to get to The Godfather crime ranking on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I have already beaten the game three times--1st time: 96% 2nd time : 100% 3rd time (the game I am playing on right now): 100%. I have never gotten the Godfather ranking however on any of those games.
