very close to finishing all of my tropies on fallout 3. just need a couple more speech challenges, one more behemoth and the last two story missions.


also been playing a lot of lumines supernova on the PS3 - i found if i play while on my exercise bike a half hour/45 min blows right by without even thinking about the activity. do that a couple times a day on the half of the week i don't work and once or twice on the 3/4 days i do work.

If you got to Jury street station and head north northwest Im pretty sure there is a crashed train. If you go down there one will come from the road/bridge

Capitol building

oh, i know where it is, i just haven't gotten to him on this play through yet (the capitol building one - it's my last of five - you forgot takoma ;) ).

i'll probably go back to oblivion a bit after this, i kind of miss knocking people over with arrow shots and running through forests in the rain. i'll have to remember where i'm at, i don't really want to start over.
still need to finish ratchet and clank future though. that might be next.

I have begun wasting hours of my life in Oblivion.

I think I am leveling too fast though =/ I am lvl 11 and can't kill anything. Every time I level my stats are only like +2 and +3 with a 4 once in a while.

focus on what you really want out of a character and use/practice that action as much as possible. it isn't an easy game if you play really aggressively. i remember running everywhere and jumping off of everyting in my path to get my speed and agility up. i also used mainly a sword in the beginning, but then switched over to a bow. but it will take you hours of killing wolves and crabs and the like to get your stats up enough to do any real damage to anything reasonably powerful. keep in mind too, most mosters level up with you to some extent.
make sure to join a few guilds too, so you get the benefit of the equipment you get from their quests. and don't feel too bad about joining the assassin's guild ;)

The Godfather II on PS3.
Made it into Florida pretty quickly, but the game is quickly losing it's playability - luckily, I only picked it up on pre-owned, so I haven't spent too much on it.

Skye, if you're playing Oblivion on the PC, you can actually download mods where they "balance" the game so that a majority of enemies don't level up with you, making it a bit more immersive/realistic.
If not, I guess you can turn down the difficulty a tad bit.
The Dark Brotherhood is probably the most fun faction there is. It's a bit challenging at times, but its a whole lot of fun.

Is.. Or should I say, has any one played Resident Evil 5 on Professional mode? My friend and I are playing it through on it now and it's insanely hard compared to even veteran..

So much fun.. I think I need to show Fallout 3 some love soon though.

Yeah, me and my bro tried playing it on Pro.
Even with the melee and bullet proof vests, loads of herb sprays, and unlocking infinite ammo on some of the best weapons, the game is still very challenging on Pro.
We got up to chapter 4, and stopped. We really need to get on that and try to beat it.

Yeah, I'm in the same situation.. I've got most of the weapons max'd out, just have to play more to get enough points to unlock the infinite ammo for them.

Still loads of fun. It's honestly easy as long as nothing touches you, then you're screwed.

Yeah. Unfortunately for us, we are only using Desert Eagles and snipers to give the game a little twist. If we use shotties or the rocket launcher, it be a tad boring. Although the magnums and snipers are powerful, you really gotta make each shot count due to the recoil, so it still kind of adds a really tense mechanic.

I hear that.. I'm using the Desert Eagle and the PSG sniper right now.. I've got almost all of the weapons max'd out, so yeah.. The Mp5 is surprisingly good, it has "level 2" piercing and shoots lots lol..

My fave weapons are the D.Eagle, P8 handgun, SIG 556 machine gun, and he PSG-1 Sniper.

We're on chapter 4-3 I think on Pro.. It's hard, but fun, I can't wait to beat it. I'm trying to unlock everything. I'm something like 10 treasures away from unlocking them all, plus I've got quite the inventory built up.

Let;s just say I have quite a few options :p
