Dodge these bullets, no quick time event!

Not that much to report this time...

  • Finished Onimusha 3: Demon Siege on Monday - wow, feels like such a long time ago. Fun game, much improved, lackluster ending.
  • After Onimusha 3, gave the last go on The Pitt (sans Jolie, sadly) and finished the main quest. Great expansion, read the review soon-ish! Got all the bloody ingots too. Used a video for the last few, they were hidden exactly where I thought they were but couldn't reach. Not as bad of a search. Sweet reward, though.
  • The Pitt brought back my love for Fallout 3, so I decided to go back to that and clear out the last achievement missing - Data Miner - or, hacking 50 consoles. Took me a couple of tries to find the 25 or so I was missing, explored a lot of discovered locations on my map that I just breezed through on my main quest game save. Managed to find some Nuka Colas too... ha, wonder where they were when I was actively looking for them! Anyway, got that done early in the week. 1200/1200. I don't care a lot for achievements, but hell, this game deserves it. Ready for Broken Steel in a couple of weeks!
  • Speaking of reviews, finished mine for The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, review got published some days later. Check it out here.
  • Instead of ICO, I dusted off Tales of Vesperia. Enjoyable so far, but a bit annoying at spots. Can't skip cutscenes, some boss battles early on are incredibly punishing, thus requiring multiple attempts, multiple watches of the multiple unskippable cutscenes in between. Good voice acting, though, brilliant graphics. Might try Sonata again after this one! Love the dog's attitude.
  • Went back to Left 4 Dead on Tuesday for Game Night, played with some GameSpot peeps, added a bunch to my friends list on Live. Multiplayer on that is fun! Went back to it yet again on Saturday, for online co-op with an old friend - this time, we played Death Toll on normal, barely made it out on the boat. Yeah, we both stink.
  • Also jumped back to Street Fighter IV - Zangy and Cammy loved my return. Finished racking up 100 online games yesterday morning, then some more wins then... shockingly enough, braved ranked matches and won five in a roll! Might try five more just for the achievement sake, not sure. This game is so fun, great buy, in my book. Best online play since Jedi Knight in my opinion.
  • Activated the Penny Arcade Episode One trial I had on my 360 before I forgot about the price cut. Played about ten mintues of it. It's Penny Arcade. Woot, I guess.
  • Oh yeah, almost forgot about Flock. Fun game, but some odd problems with the camera and the sheep getting invisible and/or stuck on the environment. Still in review stages, good impression so far.
  • Worth mentioning - finished watching the Clone Wars yesterday, now I want to watch the full length version. I enjoyed the series a lot, it got better as it progressed, for sure. Popped in a new series, Castle, onto my hum... player. Not a bad show, fun seeing an actor from Firefly in another setting. Not as much witty dialogue, and... don't think it'll last.
  • No, did not watch the Terminator season finale, totally forgot about it on Saturday, I will go back to it sometime this week. I had a complete computer lockdown on Saturday, taking a day off. Sooo worth it, have to say.
  • Work-wise, the week was pretty full, with lots of hours in front of my computer screen - I'm making the leap between XSI and 3ds MAX and back, and that's been a pain for the most. MAX is pretty finicky to deal with compared to XSI. I've been getting a lot of shortcut cross-over between the two. Well, gotta endure 3ds MAX if I want to get that great render on a particular thing I've been working on.
