nightmist's GameLogBlogging the experience of gameplayhttps://www.gamelog.cl/gamers/GamerPage.php?idgamer=311Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) - Fri, 23 Feb 2007 18:15:13https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1116I decided instead of starting over for this game log to try to accomplish something i have been putting off since well about 1 day after I got the game. 100% Completion. When I started i was at ruffly 85% so I needed to figure out what I had missed along the way. Going back through from the beginning area through to the end was a pain but I managed to rack in a few percent due to some safe houses I had forgotten to buy. At roughly 92% I was completely stumped on what I had missed. So being lazy I went online and found a site that had all the information I needed to complete the last 8%. http://www.gta-sanandreas.com/ Turns out I was missing finishing the boating series and some of the delivery boy errands. Once I knew that was all I was missing it took longer to get there then it did to finish everything. And overall the travel was fast since I just stole a jet, flew to the location and parachuted instead of landing.Fri, 23 Feb 2007 18:15:13 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1116&iddiary=3065Gears of War (360) - Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:24:34https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1279I just bought this game for my little brother and had to test it out before I gave it to him. Unfortunately for him he won't be getting the game. My neighbor and I played thru the entire game last night it took us about 17 hrs to beat it on all 3 difficulty lvls. This game has insane graphics and great cut scenes. My favorite fight of all though is the final boss. ONe person basically has to distract him and take a beating while the other sprints past dodging his 1 shot hit and the chain gun he fires at you and all the while staying in the lighted areas to avoid having the stupid kryll kill you. The fight is hard enough on casual but on hardcore it is crazy. It took us about 15 tries to get the pathing correct and then about another 3 tries to actually get the kill, the only way to drop him is to get to the chain gun on the platform behind him and just fire til you die. The fight took us way too long the first time on casual, we just avoided him and unloaded all our ammo into him and he still was walking around, im not sure if it is possible to kill him without making it to the chain gun. Overall though this game is now one of my all time favorites.Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:24:34 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1279&iddiary=2731Goldeneye 007 (N64) - Fri, 09 Feb 2007 12:02:20https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=898My friends and I sat down and played a 4 hour long tournament of Goldeneye, unfortunately my friend Brent took the overall win. The other 7 of us who played managed to only kill him 18 times in 10 rounds. The next lowest killed was myself with 27. We played with a variety of setting, everything from the man with the golden gun, to knifes only. Overall the games were incredibly fun and we had a great time. These two sessions were the first time in many years that any of us had played. It brought me back to middle school, which makes me feel old.Fri, 09 Feb 2007 12:02:20 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=898&iddiary=2621Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) - Thu, 01 Feb 2007 02:54:35https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1116Well i just tried to upload an entry and somehow managed to delete it so here goes again. I played this game two days, first time back since beating it originally. I decided to play the mini games that are spread through out the game that I had skipped in the original play through. I went back to the areas where i could do driving and flying tests to up my skills. For the most part these games posed no challenge but a few gave me unexpected trouble. The one in particular was the driving of a car on two wheels for a certain distance the the landing of that car in a specific area. Over all this game was alright the first run through but it has no replayability. The mini games on the other hand have a little more appeal in that regard.Thu, 01 Feb 2007 02:54:35 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1116&iddiary=2406Goldeneye 007 (N64) - Wed, 24 Jan 2007 01:39:39https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=898My friends and I just finished our 4th round of 007, we all had a blast. None of us had played it in years and so we were all pretty rusty when we began. After the first game though we were back up to our old capabilities and the game lasted for hrs as we hunted and hid from each other. After realizing that the game goes on far too long if we use normal weapons we turned it into a free for all golden gun battle. Each of us started off with the gun and usually within 5 minutes everyone was dead. surprisingly we had a lot of simul's(both people shooting each other and dying, and even had one game end in such a mannner. This was definately a stroll down memory lane and overall it was a great time.Wed, 24 Jan 2007 01:39:39 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=898&iddiary=1979World of Warcraft (PC) - Mon, 22 Jan 2007 10:58:54https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=585Well the burning crusade is out now, well on the 16th. I skipped the first 2 days of class after i got my copy and started grinding my chars. I haven't really slept since wednessday, infact im typing this after a 16 hr session. About halfway to 67 and i have calss in a little or i would still be grinding. Yeah just figured i would update on how much this game is like heroine, you don't sleep, eat, and you look terrible after a few days on it.Mon, 22 Jan 2007 10:58:54 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=585&iddiary=1939Soul Calibur III (PS2) - Thu, 18 Jan 2007 19:38:31https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=727I have been playing this game since the day it came out, my friends and I actually pre-ordered in order to have it the day it was released. Over the first few months we proceeded to slowly advance thru the play to unlock all the weapons and gear. Eventually figuring out the path to the last Ultimate boss. Today I decided to see if i could play thru the individual story of one character and get to the final boss in a single try. Unfortunately I always lost at around the 10th fight. In 45 minutes i tried with my 3 strongest characters and was unable to get past the the 11th round undefeated on any of them. This was highly frustrating as I have beaten the game before and gotten to the Ultimate boss on all characters. Hopefully next game session I will be able to get to the final boss to relate his fight.Thu, 18 Jan 2007 19:38:31 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=727&iddiary=1628World of Warcraft (PC) - Sat, 13 Jan 2007 01:57:10https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=585Well after two hrs of leveling and 6 hrs trying to beat hogger on 4 different classes I have finally found one class that is capable of soloing him at level 9. The paladin is the only class that is capable, without twink gear and lots of pots, of defeating hogger at level 9. I tried with a warrior, priest, rogue and paladin and the only one I was able to defeat Hogger with was the paladin. My friend killed hogger with his priest and pots and twink gear but that wasn't the point of the playing. The average level 9 can't kill hogger, it is frustrating beyond believe and requires at least two people.

This doesn't include the 60 I recently sold or the countless ones I never bothered to get to 60. These are just the 5 that I currently play. - 60 undead rogue - 52 days - 60 undead priest - 48 days - 60 undead mage - 15 days - 60 human paladin - 19 days - 60 undead warlock - 60 Total of 194 days. Including the partial tier 3 char I just sold, which had almost 80 days logged I am at a staggering 274 days x 24 hrs = ~6576 hrs online. World of Warcraft has become a world outside of this one, where friends and enemies are made. In some cases even romances, there are stories of people meeting online and then meeting in person and getting married. This game has taken a hold of so many people that I truly don't believe it can still be classified as a hobby, when people willingly log up to half of everyday online, it becomes more reality to some people then the world outside their window. The lvling and exploration are part of that life and along with it can triumph or frustration. The next log I am going to co-author with a fellow classmate as we roll lvl 9 chars and try to defeat the infamous Hogger on a pvp server while trying to kill each other at the same time.Fri, 12 Jan 2007 05:11:31 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=585&iddiary=1363
