Hey peeps and peepettes.
In this post I will list all the games I have yet to complete but are slowly gathering dust on my shelves.
I will also list why I have not completed them.
So... HERE WE GO!
- Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
Got to a part where I have no Idea what to do! And no, I will not succumb to walkthroughs.
- Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Well... I haven't beaten Exoddus yet.
- Super Mario Galaxy
Those purple stars. By George I hate those purple stars. There is no way ANY human being can pull off those stages without growing an extra pair of thumbs.
- LOZ: MM
I have no excuse for this. It is a fun game. It is an awesome game. A FREAKING AWESOME GAME! I don't know why I haven't beaten this yet.
- Donkey Kong Country 3
I have noone to play it with :'(.
Even though I can play by myself but shhhhh.
- Swords and Soldiers
It just became the ol' same ol' same ol'. But still enjoyable none the less.
- Megaman 9
I can say, with only a little bit of shame that this game was impossible for me to beat. I take my hat off to you MM9
- Pikmin 2
Again. Another awesome game. I should play this. Now....
I should play this game now.
- New Super Mario Bros Wii
I blame the lack of Yoshi in ALL the stages, level design be damned. That and also the fact that some of those coins make me cry when I am trying to reach them.
- Scribblenauts
So many different possibilities. *froths at mouth*
I blame frothing at mouth as the main source as to why this has not been completed
- Spyro
Well... a friend got it for me for my birthday....
And it is neh....
- Metroid Prime Trilogy
Why am I not playing this right now?
So in short I am not sure why I have not beaten most of these games.
I am so ashamed.
I blame Team Fortress 2 for this, it doesn't give me anytime to play anything else!

Engineer Strategy
Of all the time spent playing Engineer on Team Fortress 2 I have come to realise that everyone often destroys your buildings first.
They don't understand the might of the shotgun or a whole clip of the pistol point blank and as such ignore you... which is a grave mistake.
I often set up a level one sentry just around a corner with me hiding somewhere on the other side of the corner with the sentry in my line of sight. The sentry is the bait, if you will, I am springing a trap.
The Soldier comes around the corner and sees a Level One sentry just sitting there, it shoots him a few times as he quickly ducks back behind cover. Any Soldier worth his salt knows that he can easily take out a sentry around the corner by shooting the ground near it. So he starts to position himself, gets in view of the target and shoots. All the while you have run up to him shot him six times point blank with the shotgun and he is dead.
Of course this doesn't always happens. The pyros just rush it and the spies just sap it and even a clip of shotgun shells won't take down a full health heavy but it is an interesting observation that more often than not people will take out your stuff before taking out you.
I sometimes use this to my advantage as I am running away, I plop down a dispenser which subverts their attention for a few seconds. While this isn't much I figure I am going to die anyway, may as well.
And now i'm off.

Inpomptu Pyro Tennis
*Logs back onto blog*
*Blows away the dust of neglect*
Annnnnnd I'm back.
I was just playing a round of TF2 on Payload-Backwater and boy was it fun.
Keep in mind this was at 7:40am so not many people were online, it was a nice 2v2.
I was on defence and boy was I defending.
The opposite team had pushed the kart to the last point and my Battle Medic stratergy was not working against these Demoman players. Discarding my flawless game plan I settled on an easier approach of W+M1.
After killing both Demomen one of them changed to Pyro. My Heavy friend defended the Kart while I went off to search for some fresh meat and lo and behold there was a Pyro just standing there, beckoning for me to follow, so I did.
I followed that pyro all the way to the beginning of the map where we shot the ground a couple of times, the meaning was clear, he wanted me to stand there.
He then proceeded to run across to the other side of the canyon and fired his Flare Gun, instinct kicked in and I reflected it back at him, he then reflected it back and I took a flare to the face.
Yes, we put behind all our differences and were playing tennis while mere meters away our teammates were battling to the death for the glory of the Kart.
This went on for some minutes before we started to rock out on our Guitars.
The moral of this story? TF2 is awesome!

Team Fortress 2
Well I was pushing the Kart the other day on Team Fortress 2 and got backstabbed by a Spy.
So that's how it feels.
Wow...I am a jerk.

Exams
Well Exams start in two days time which is going to be fun.
The past week I have been 'studying'. This mainly consists me staring at my book for two hours without lifting my pen eventually convincing myself that I need a brake.
5 hours of youtube later I realised another day has been wasted.
In addition to my horrible study habbits I am noticing a correlation to my Game time and proximity to exams.
I went through a stage a month ago where I did not go near computer games ( I know....shocking right?) but as exams close in according to my Steam Id:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994875041
I have played 28.9 hours of Team Fortress Two in the past two weeks.
Assuming that is spread out evenly in the past week I have played 14.45 hours of the addictive drug and minusing an average of 8 hours sleep a day is roughly 13% of my life.
That is a lot!
While we are on the subject of games;
During my diligent student I found this game entitled Scribblenauts and is by the same people who brought us Locke's Quest and Drawn To Life.
Anyway the main premise of this game is you solve puzzles how you want to solve them.
How? Using anything you can think of...
I'll just let that sink in for a moment.
ANYTHING!
You write what you want and it appears!
Now of course it isn't everything but it is damn close, they had 2 months where their team just looked up nouns in dictionaries and encyclopedias to add to the game.
Anyway, it says it is going to be out for Fall in America which of course correlates to Spring down here in Aus.
Of course one must take into account that the rest of the gaming community hates Australia so we will probably have to wait another month or two.
*grumble grumble*
Anyway, youtube it. It looks great, seriously, God Vs The Kraken.
How can it get better?
Ok I will now step away from my unpaid advertising and focus on my state of mind.
It is constantly flipping between the two extremes:
1) You'll be fine
2) You haven't studied you are going to fall
Curse you Logos and Pathos! Make up your mind!
But logically I only really need 30% to pass most of my units that I am currently undertaking. Of course this lulls me into a false sense of security and when I realise I can't ace the practise tests ( as I could do back in school) I get worried but Tallyho and Whatnot, hmmm.... quite old chap.
I'll be fine.
...right?
