• Best stuff evar

  I finished Bioshock.  I got the good ending for going through and rescuing all the little sisters.  I believe it has multiple endings, so now I'm going through and harvesting the little sisters.  Man, they make you feel bad for harvesting them though.  But all that extra Adam sure helps!  Now that I've gone through it, I wonder when they're gonna put out an SDK for people to start modding this thing?  You know that there's gotta be at least one group of people out there who want to take this and turn it into a System Shock game.

  
  

  I finished Metroid Prime 3 Corruption.  And at the same time, I learned how many playtime hours the rechargable battery pack for my Wii Remote has.  As I was fighting the final boss, the battery pack went dead, after approximately 12 hours of playtime without a recharge.  Luckily for me, Nintendo was smart enough to make the Wii smart enough to recognize a dead Remote and halt the game until you can get the Remote back up and running.  And also lucky for me, I had some AA batteries lying around.  I popped them in and pwned the final boss.  I was suprised at how easy the final boss was.  It wasn't easy getting there, but the fight, which was a three-parter, left something to be desired.  But on the other hand, there's closure.  And I got 100% item collection.  Go me.  My only remaining gripe is that I don't have anyone in my friends list who actually has this game so I can't trade in my Friend Vouchers to get Friend Credits, so there's a whole bunch of locked content that I can't unlock.  I've unlocked everything that doesn't require Friend Credits.  Yeah, it sucks.  I only know three people with Wii's and none of them have this game, or even like the Metroid series.  Hmpf.  Guess that means I need to find an alternative method to getting these friend credits.

  
  

  The next game that's coming up, and soon, is The Legend of Zelda - The Phantom Hourglass, for the DS.  I have it on preorder and it's paid in full.  That comes out next month.

  
  

  Last night I was poking around in Steam.  Normally that's not a good thing right?  Whenever I poke around in Steam, I usually end up spending money, right?  Right.  I bought the Super id Pack.  $70 for a whole load of games, ranging from Commander Keen through Doom 3.  Heck, they even have the expansion packs for Wolfenstein Spear of Destiny.  Ah, it was nice to get a bit of nostalgia with that.  Oddly enough, there are only two games missing from that pack: Heretic 2 and Quake 4, which I already have both.  Heretic 2 wasn't exactly the greatest game, and Quake 4 probably doesn't even support Steam yet.  And as strange as it may sound, Doom 3 was having a really hard time running on my machine, yet when I played the CD version, there weren't any problems.  It must be an issue in Steam or something.  But other than that, my list of Steam games is all nice and fleshed out now.
