The Batlord

Jesus Christ. At eleven pm on Wednesday night I started playing the first Mass Effect and didn't stop until four or five pm the next day (I'm pretty sure that means I was up for thirty-three hours straight). Then I slept for six hours, woke up at ten thirty, watched the rest of Elementary, and then did it again, going to sleep at five o'clock the next day. By the early morning hours of Sunday when I beat it I had put almost seventy hours into that game. I did everything too. Even the tedious-as-hell ore-finding missions where I had to search every single world in a grid pattern for hidden deposits of ore. I've barely been sleeping. I eat only when I can be bothered. And now I'm doing the same thing with the second one and I've got three lined up after that. Yesterday was the first time since Wednesday that I actually came up for air and left the house. I honestly debated with myself whether I even wanted to get on Musicbanter or keep playing Mass Effect. I think I'm gonna die.


Aside from the massive open world and endless side quests it's not really much like it. It's much more like Diablo. Buy it. You'll love it.

I'm on the Anchorage mission in Fallout 3. I had to reinstall my DLC when i switched to the newer 360 so instead of going for the missions i've already done (did the Aliens on the last go round) I went for this one, unknowingly ushering myself to that god damned simulation. It's fun, i wish the tactical side was a bit more in depth, snipers seem to die like nothing which blows.

The music of Minecraft is amazing. If you are a fan of minimalist composers like Philip Glass you would enjoy it. The composer is C418 and his album "One" is very good as well if you like the Minecraft soundtrack.

Decided to have a second go at Outlast because I didn't realize until late in my first game that if you had the camera recording certain events you'll trigger notes that help explain the plot a little better. Sadly because the game emphasized jump scares so much its lost a lot of its horror aspect. Now that I also know what I need to do and where to go I'm flying through this game, but for $20 I think it's one of the best games for the price and one of the best games of the year, just maybe not the best replay value.

After a long wait, I decided to get back into Minecraft. There's really nothing better than the first days of Minecraft when you're trying to learn everything and everything feels brand new, but taking a break from it has brought some of the enjoyment back. With all the updates that I missed as well, it's like playing a completely different game.

I've also been looking to try out Pixelmon. It's basically Pokemon and Minecraft together, and it looks really really awesome.

I am nearly finished with Ocarina of Time on the 3DS, and I absolutely can't wait to finish so the Master Quest version can be unlocked. It's mirrored and there are new puzzles and dungeon enemies and all that.

Also almost finished with Paper Mario Sticker Star.

Sometimes I feel like the only 23 year old who still likes handheld video games.

Idk why but Paper Mario Sticker Star seems so hard to me lol. I've gotten stuck in that game a few times already and that has just deterred me from plowing through it like I thought I would.

You shouldn't feel bad. The average age of people playing video games is 30 so I'm sure that a decent percentage are handheld gaming as well.

here are some stats: The Entertainment Software Association - Game Player Data

handheld stats weren't available but I'm sure it's out there if I looked hard enough.

Haven't posted for about a week just because Mass Effect has had my life. Seriously, the night before last I finally finished the series, and I did the math. I put at least, AT LEAST, one hundred and eighty hours into all three games in the past two weeks, and there are only one hundred and sixty-eight hours in a week. So for the last two weeks more than a week has been spent with a controller in my hands. And now I've got to play through the entire thing again as an evil chick. The only problem being that it is almost physically impossible to make a female character even halfway attractive in that game. That may sound shallow, but just ask yourself if you're capable of using a character, male or female, that looks like an inverted anal gland.

Hell no. I was around twenty-three when I traded in my old 360 and became obsessed with my Gameboy Advanced. I don't know how I would have gotten through the past few years without the Fire Emblem series.

Do you guys know how to find out your friend code on the DS so that you can play games with people? I don't even know if that's what they're for, lol. My brother asked for mine.
