The Lost Odyssey... of Lost Odyssey (and more!)

Well, I seem to be continuing with my infrequent posts. Lately, I have just fallen into a funk, of sorts. That, and my friends have been keeping me busy enough to where I am not playing AS much. But, that aside, onto what I have been doing.

I had played a little more Lost Odyssey since my last post. I finally got done with learning all my learned skills and finally started out again. The fights with the Arthrosaurus (and his 4 friends) weren't too bad actually. And Numara was nice to visit again, especially when my guide told me how to get into one area that I had never gotten to the last time I was at Numara. After I was done at Numara, I went to a couple places with treasure hunting clues. But basically I am at the final place in the game where I can do all the sidequests I can so I can get every last possible achievement.

I also went back and played some Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, since one of my friends (who I also work with) picked up the game. Online has cleaned up a lot better now. There are still some D-bags on there (especially ones who run the games); but it was enjoyable. Especially when one kid got so tired of his team that all he did was scream out "Kick Me" in the lobby after each match. And what made it better was that he didn't actually leave until he chose to leave. Vegas 2 has started to come back for me, I just wish it was nice like this when it first came out.

Also, I went to play some Grand Theft Auto 4. I have been mixing import/export missions with vigilante missions. I really like how the vigilante missions are going in this game. Not a pain in the ass to chase someone down (most of the time.) A little blip on the radar to go toward, and then all you have to do is finish them off. I always felt that a tank was necessary in the old games, but not this one.

Finally, I went back to Mass Effect to finish what I started. I forgot how much of a pain Matriarch Benezia was, but I finally got through it. I finished the game, falling short of my first time through by 4 levels...and about 20 hours. Nothing was more satisfying than seeing that I only have one achievement for Mass Effect left, and that will be the true pain.

I will try to keep this better updated, but I know tonight I am hanging out with my friends again. But, Lost Odyssey will be done...soon...hopefully.

Update Time

Well, after a couple weeks off from Lost Odyssey, I came back to it. To be brief, I picked up Grand Theft Auto 4 and played the hell out of it. It was fun, but I stuck to the single player, and I still have to get the 100% for the game. I haven't tried multi player on it, and would rather have my first time on it with friends instead of random people. I didn't feel like doing posts, since I figured everyone and their mother had reviewed it, so you could get your opinions from anyone. I may make a post or two about things that I will do or have done in the game, but that will just depend on my mood.

I would do another journal entry for Lost Odyssey, but I finished one little area, and am now back to grinding out skill levels for my characters. I will probably stop when my people learn all the skills that are currently learned, and I can later go back and just polish it off. But for now, I have to focus on getting all of Sed's 100 skill point skills (funny enough, "Double SP" is one of them.)

I will do some more posts later when I am up to it, and have more to write about.
