My free time from mid-April to mid-June was reduced very drastically by both school and my renewed efforts to get into slightly better physical shape, and now, now I am free from the clutches of higher learning (for a while) so that I can go back to wasting\u00a0that portion\u00a0of my spare time on mind-dulling television games.<\/p>\n

~ Game Over ~<\/h2>\n

Hyrule Warriors Legends<\/strong> (3DS) – Played through the story mode again for… collection purposes. Yeah, I’ll probably be playing this one forever.<\/p>\n

The Legend of Zelda<\/strong> (NES) – All that Hyrule Warriorsing often makes me want to play real Zelda, and sometimes I do. Like this time, when I played the first one!<\/p>\n

\"WiiU_screenshot_TV_012FA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kirby: Planet Robobot<\/strong> (3DS) – It’s almost exactly like Triple Deluxe, but the Robobot Armor is a much more fun gimmick than Hypernova. Also, the sub-games are somehow even better. You can expect that I’ll be writing a big ol’ thing about them soon. As another note, the final boss is friggin’ AMAZING<\/em>. Fanservicey as all heck, and I loved it.<\/p>\n

Kirby: Planet Robobot<\/strong> (3DS) – I also played through the entire Meta Knightmare Returns mode, which is playing through the game again as Meta Knight, but it’s all lined up as one super-long level, and all the bosses are powered up and there is a super-sweet trio of\u00a0legacy bosses at the end.<\/p>\n

Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game<\/strong> (360) – I got really frustrated with Ornstein and Smough in my Dark Souls replay, so I flipped over to something a little more friendly. In fact, this game is very easy to burn through when you have a maxed-out character. Still fun, and the music is phenomenal.<\/p>\n

Cibele<\/strong> (PC) – A narrative game about a girl who meets a guy online, falls in love,\u00a0and then meets up with him to bone. Guess how it ends.<\/p>\n

Her Story<\/strong> (PC) – A narrative game where you’re sorting through hundreds of little interview clips to piece together the story of a murder. Only I didn’t realize that the game wasn’t functioning properly for me, so I only got audio clips when there were supposed to be accompanying videos! The game still worked, and I loved<\/em> it. Recommended to everyone.<\/p>\n

Mighty No. 9<\/strong> (WiiU) – What was supposed to be the glorious (off-brand) return of Mega Man instead turned out to be half-baked and disappointing to most. I don’t hate it, but it’s\u00a0generally underwhelming and the final boss is just so difficult<\/em>.<\/p>\n

~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n

Zelda: Skyward Sword<\/strong> (Wii) – Speaking of wanting to replay Zeldas… I hadn’t revisited Skyward Sword since I beat it the first time, and man, I am really digging it. I’ve been writing about it weekly, so… you know. Read those entries.<\/p>\n

Monster Hunter Explore<\/strong> (iOS) – Most of my playtime was during the bus rides home from school. Now that I’m out of school until ????, I probably won’t play it until then.<\/p>\n

Fallout 4<\/strong> (PS4) – Started up a new game on my shiny new Playstation 4. I suppose that above all else, this spells the end for my stalled game of New Vegas. Also, no other game makes me wish there were more hours in the day. So that I could squander them on pointless video games, you see.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Pearl Version<\/strong> (DS) – This was a very spur-of-the-moment replay decision. I really can’t even remember why I decided to go back to it. What I do know is that even after I’d confirmed that all the important Pok\u00e9mon had been safely transferred away, it\u00a0still killed me to overwrite my old save. This is why I very rarely replay Pok\u00e9mon games.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy VII<\/strong> (PC) – One thing I always forget\u00a0about FF7 is that\u00a0enemy attack\u00a0animations can be really long, and as a result,\u00a0really drag out the battles. I would like a separate timer just to see how much of the game time has been spent watching monsters do elaborate attacks. Or a switch to just turn them off like Pok\u00e9mon has.<\/p>\n

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD<\/strong> (WiiU) – Yep. Still\u00a0poking around in\u00a0this one. I beat it, but I wanted to go back to find all the stamps and poes (which I still haven’t accomplished). I’ve played the game like five times before, and never explored the world nearly as thoroughly as I have this time around.<\/p>\n

\"WiiU_screenshot_TV_019E5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dark Souls<\/strong> (360) – I get about an hour in each Saturday afternoon, and have managed to make my way back to Anor Londo. Yaaaay. As stated above, NG+ Ornstein and Smough are an absolute nightmare. I did manage to get past them, though, so it should be easy street from here on out, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
