Onto Koenigsdorf today prior to putting furniture on lay-a-way.

Decided to do my base battles clockwise. Was originally going to tackle them in ascending numerical order, but do to the auguries of Pyro and Richard, I felt like being a bad bitch and taking on the most difficult base second.

Base 6 - Not particularly difficult at all. Just plenty of times where troops would reinforce - the battle took perhaps. . .  30-40 minutes total. Worse aspects about Base 6's troops were the mage troops. Now, I'm not that much of a bad bitch - poison bombs are my weakness and generally do fuck up troops for at least two rounds unless they dodge (which they didn't). So. I proceeded to kill all the mages first at the sacrifice of being flanked. I was flanked . . once or twice during the whole non-boss battle and their physical attacks only take out 1-55 +/no + 255 at max HP. So when my troops have 3200HP . . . Yeah, nothing to worry about. Boss battle - took out the mage troops first. Was pretty difficult, because the troops had more members and for SOME reason, attacked before my troops when I deadlocked. Even if I interfered, one of mine would attack and then a mage would. Gr. Boss wasn't particularly hard until he started giving me a run for my money after doing his ZEOMG MIRACLE. Thankfully Rush used his Remnant for NULL LOL, and our morale was so high since I defeated all the troops that I was able to Parry/Counter Attack/Deflect the majority of his attacks. Emmy Hundred Flowers and David Ex Machina's for the win.

Base Battle 5 - same as 6 for outside. Boss, not hard at all. His ranged phys attack was annoying, but that's nothing better than an analgesia like Refresh III or a Restorative Tincture II.

Base Battle 4 - unmemorable. Twins, fail. Even their attack fails. Even Hinnah's miracle fails - bitch was only taking out 300 each hit. No need to fret. ENTHRALLED two times, but all my troops alive + the ability to CURE THEM IF IT KILLS THEM? Yeah.

Base Battle 3 - Meh. See Base Battle 4. Boss unmemorable.

Base Battle 2 - See Base Battle 3, minus the fact that the boss had way too much HP.

SURPRISE FIGHT AFTER BASE BATTLES - I thought Gae Bolg was going to fuck me up, but at most, it brought my troops down to 2,000-1500 HP. What *DID* hurt was the friggin arm swing as it hits every troop member in the unit! I still survived though.

Saw that I'm oh so close to making the Sword of Seven despite my lack of money. Rush finally has a decent sword, despite the fact it's two handed and I've always had him on midsize. Koenigsdorf it is in a few.

DQ9:  Found a grotto where I can farm two rank 9 chests in 1 minute and 10 seconds.  Not counting Pandora's Box attacks of course.  Metal Slime gear is go.

Nier: Smashing everything with ease, will likely wrap up second cycle in another sitting but just haven't had much time for videogames this week.

KotOR2: So yeah, got this. Will be a while before I play it since borrowed games come first, but am I correct in recalling that they actually finished the mod to restore all the cut content?

I think it was a different mod that got started and finished in the time that the first one stalled out during.

Though that doesn't change the fact that there is definitely a content-restoration mod out there, so.

This is correct. It does not restore ALL the cut content, but that's because restoring all cut content (the Droid Planet in particular) is more or less impossible, as there are no assets for it anywhere on the disk. They did, however, restore a lot of shit.

The game is also actually difficult in places now. Unless your first step is making Atton a Jedi, I guess.

Dragon Quest VIII: Beat Dhouldmagus and Evil Jessica.

I had a lot of alchemy I wanted to try out before fighting Dhoulmagus. When I was done, I was over prepared for him and the fights became rather easy. I did get into one risky situation though which consisted of Dhoulmagus dispelling my buffs and then hitting both Jessica and Angelo twice with Intimidating Shout which made healing hard. Other than that, it was rather easy.

Also, Angelo was my best single target damage dealer which is probably a sign of something. Oh well, that will at least be fixed as soon as I get a good whip for Jessica.

I speed trough the Jessica-less part of the game with Holy protection and Padfoot. Fighting battles feels less rewarding if not all characters are there to get the exp.

Difficulty!

The boss in the quest with Yuniver from Melphina. The boss, itself, isn't difficult. It's his croonies that surround him strategically - each and every enemy has group attack/status attack moves which means you're pretty much sacrificing your flank to the boss if you want to take out the croonies first. Which I did. Had to try that battle twice. None of the bosses moves particularly hurt - Fulgurate gave him an extra move apparently but if I'm busy attacking and killing his support troops, it really only damages on of my units. Well. That quest is over.

Shining Force 2: Just having a great time with this. Simple, straightforward, fun. S'why I love good old-school games. About halfway through. Just beat Taros and the Harpy battle. Rick is useless. Haven't tried out Elric yet. Probably will stick with May though.

May's the best archer, for what it's worth - her movement is the best, and her attack is good, as well as her speed.  Next best...Janet/Elric/Rhode, not sure which is better - Rhode has the highest defense, but I'm not sure about the rest after that.

Mrf. Attempted to start up KotOR2 just to make sure it worked aaand it doesn't. The error message is uselessly vague (there is "a problem starting the program." Well, no shit,) so I dunno. Are there any known common problems getting the game running in general or on Vista in particular?

Bayonetta: Doing pretty well in hard mode. Got two golds, two silvers and three platinums so far.....and just found out that those platinums don't count toward unlocking Jeanne. Curses. The one on Gates of Paradiso was a total pain in the ass to get, too. Ah well, at least there's no way aceing normal will be anywhere near as tough, just...time-consuming.  got thre platinums in my entire first run, and one of them's on the prologue, so that's a lot of lengthy replays.

Just 53? I've lost triple digits.

Granted, the setup last time I played could reasonably kill the AI before it could move. The game's twinking is preeeeetty good.

FFTA2: Home stretch! 35 quests to go. Going through the lands/forests/whatever of Loar sightseeing chain now. Then I guess I'll rest until the Camoa Cup opens.

Bayonetta: Getting platinum ratings in boss fights is hard. Except Father Balder, that guy's a total pansy.

It's impossible for the restored content patch to be worse than no restored content patch.  KotOR2 gave me the biggest case of nerd blue balls I think I've ever had.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World: Andy, Djinn, Chiaki and myself played a ton of 4 player of this yesterday. It fucking rocked hardcore. So glad that it worked out getting it downloaded into Andy's PS3. I would've paid the money to buy it JUST for the game time today, and it was totally worth using one of my downloads. We made it to the last level before stopping for foodage and other reasons.

Dragon Quest VIII: Unlocked the casino and made about 600,000 coins while watching a few Mythbuster episodes. I got the Gringham Whip, Two Falcon Blades, a few Saint's Aches and a lot of Prayer Rings. I'll hold of the Liquid Metal armors for a while though. Some day I should try a no casino playtrough, but getting great gear is rather fun.

The Gringham Whip is the only major improvement for the moment. The hero has no points in Sword, so the Falcon Blade won't do that much even though it should help improve his single target damage. Angelo does have points spent into Sword, but the Falcon Blade is still not doing that much more damage than his other sword since the higher damage multiplier is a bit offset by the lower attack power. The Liquid Armors would have helped, but I'm holding them of. Being able to buy just about everything will come into play soon though.
