Tony Hawk's Underground



Yeah, that's right!
Fuck your incomplete games with money grabbing Downloadable Content!

I'm going oldschool.....as in...I'm...gonna skate in the "School II" level from THPS2.

Oregon Trail

Fucking died of starvation. Even after murdering half my oxen for food.

Beaten the Story mode on Sick difficulty which I've never done before.
Unlocked a character skater because of it.

It has two specials. One of them is interesting. "Scary Grind". The balancing makes it do scary poses. And the screen turns to a grainy gray film look.


Might play Tony Hawk's American Wasteland next.

Monopoly Deal


I'm just achievement whoring some games right now. This one took me a couple hours to complete because some achievements rely on you getting some specific cards and the opponent getting other specific cards.

The game itself was pretty fun to be honest. The concept of Monopoly Deal is pretty simple. You keep drawing cards and the first to 3 full sets of properties wins the game. There are special cards like "Forced Deal" which lets you trade a card of yours for a card of your opponents, and other cards like "Sly Deal" which lets you steal an opponent's card. Overall, decent card game for Monopoly. Definitely a lot quicker than player a full game of regular monopoly.

Since I cannot find Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 for the fucking life of me. I played this for a few days instead. Beaten this today. I forgot that you couldn't create your own skater for the Story mode.
I do appreciate the lack of COMBO lines in Story mode. I always hated COMBO missions. They picked the weird time to throw that out because the Focus (slow mo) feature would had made those tolerable.
I beaten the game on Sick difficulty but I don't notice to unlock anything after I beaten the game. (After researching you get a few characters, even just from beating it on Hard difficulty...bleh)

A few things in the Story mode that bugs me.
Early in the game, locations Beverly Hills and Hollywood, you and your new friends break shit throughout the city and steal parts for the skate ranch (park) and no one bats a fucking eye. You do insane shit that not only you and your friend should be killed from gravity but you have to knock down big fucking objects from on top of buildings onto the streets, many times.
East LA I can understand since the location you visit looks like a dump and the abandon Casino. Both locations come later in the game. I think it would be logical to start activating the steal shit side missions then and there.

Totally unaware that on 18th, it's going to be ten years since this game was released. Spider sense tingling.

Once my leg heals up, I will search super serious for THPS4, I hope I didn't do anything stupid with that, that's like the only PS2 game I can't find in my collection of games . Don't feel like playing THPS3 since I played that way too much. Guess I'll play The Punisher next.

Fire Emblem (GBA)

Bought it to play on my Wii U. Canas is still my favorite character.

Rock Band 4

Beating Tour/Career mode.

Final Fantasy V

Grinding my ass off, Red Mages FTW!

Fuck I need more time to play games!

Battle Islands


Common mobile freemium game, now available on Xbox One. You build a military island and go around destroying other islands. It's a time based games (like Clash of Clans I think) where you set something to build and you come back 4 hours later to see it is finished. The freemium part is that you can buy gold to speed things up, but that is completely optional.

FIFA 11


In my achievement whoring quest, I went back to some old Xbox 360 games to get some easy achievements I missed out on. I'm a huge FIFA fan but it was really weird going back to this one. The gameplay is just so different a sloppy compared to what FIFA 16 is now. Anyways, it was fun to play with old teams. Made me miss the old days when some of my favorite players were most active on the field.

Counter Strike: GO


Again, just went back to it to get some achievements. I'm struggling on getting one where you have to kill the entire enemy team without anyone on your team getting injured. The bots always rush, even on easy, so someone is always shot before I can win the round. Haven't bothered playing online, not even sure if there is an online community anymore for the console version.

Skyward Sword for the purpose of writing a walkthrough for Link's Hideaway. I wrote their Twilight Princess walkthrough too since I merged my Zelda site with theirs lol.

I really think there's something wrong with me.

So obviously. I played some old Tony Hawk games.

After that, I went to play to play



and I fucking lost interest after the first level.

I guess I'm just into quick pick up and play video games now? oh God.
