Well i am happy to say that i have finished another game yesterday...Metal Slug 3 (fyi - i love the old Neo-Geo games). That game was difficult and frustrating, even on easy mode. The 1 hit kills can be rather bothersome if you don't know the scripting of the level and the continue method on there is god awful. Honestly, how much sense does it make to continue when you die on a boss fight but are forced to continue back at the begining of the stage? Annoying to say the least. But i have gotten to the point where i've picked up on most of the little tricks of the game so now i can make it to the final boss without losing all of my lives. I'm definitely proud of that.

Next thing to do: get my copy of FFXII back from my cousin so i can finally beat it and my copy of Bully so i can have something simple to do between FF and Xenosaga gameplay.
