Getting to Yoshi in Super Mario 64 is the only bragging right I have.

I had completely forgotten about that! You just hit me with the nostalgia hammer. Man, I remember feeling so accomplished when I found him on the roof

What more do you want from me!?

Answer me this Mr completionist, Did you unlock Akuma in RE2?

Did you get all the best gear and unlock all the awesome stuff in FFT?

and flipping the castle in SoN is like 50% of the game, so that doesn't count!

I started playing Minecraft again. It's been at least a year since I touched it last. I'm itching to get out in to "the world" and explore it more. I remember something about an iceland biome, and I won't rest until I find one.

Playing Bloodborne right now. As someone who has never played a Souls game, I was hesitant going into this, seeing if the hype was justified, but literally everything I've heard in reviews has been true of my experience so far. I am currently up to the 4th boss in the game, but I would assume I've already logged over 20 hours already due to the very steep learning curve.

At the start, I was hating it. Nothing was spelled out; occasionally you could look over notes on the ground to get some basic info, but whether it was using different items, understanding how the world/death system is set up, upgrading your character, or different combat techniques, everything was a "learn-by-doing" type of process. I hated it at the start, getting pissed off at the lack of clarity and the really tough combat, even early on, but there was just a moment where it "clicked" and I've loved it ever since.

Really some of the most creative and diverse enemies I've seen, and it's refreshing to have a game where you have to be on your toes against even the most basic enemy types, because anything can and will kill you in this game. The level design is brilliant as well. Nothing is spelled out so you just kind of either happen upon or seek out different shortcuts and secret passages to make your progress easier once you die. The game world is really creepy and beautiful at the same time.

The risk/reward nature of the game is great as well. There are points where you've advanced so far that you're just dying to save your progress, and other times where you think, "you know what? I think I can keep going", only to to get blindsided and lose all your progress.

The bosses are something else as well. I have beaten 3, and tried to fight one more, but have died multiple times against all of them. They're all visually striking and legitimately creepy.

^I've been watching Bloodborne streams since I'm not going to throw money away at a PS4 just to get it. It looks like a lot of fun. I'm a big fan of the Dark Souls series and I really hope that eventually, they push Bloodborne to PC.

Got nothing better to do. Already beaten it before but not after getting every single thing. Took me a while, but I finally got $3000000 to afford the soul eater ring, so absorbing souls should be quicker now.

Played about two and a half hours tonight with a good friend of mine. We survived for 23 days, had a pretty good farm going, had a good amount of replenishable supplies, but once winter hit, we were basically sitting icicles and it being winter made it so our crops wouldn't grow and we died of starvation. Great game. I realized later on that my friend had made a thermal stone which allowed him to live longer than me.
