Made a start on Sonic Generations earlier. Very enjoyable so far, if a little difficult. Loving all the little references and callbacks to older games.

Man, these last levels of Rayman Origins are brilliant but really hard to 100%. Is this Origins or Super Meat Boy?

EDIT: Just beat it! The final level was pretty fun. Hard but fun.

Also, Phylum, Mr. Dark was in the game, not playable, but he was the teensie in the ship. Or maybe you said it on purpose that he wasn't in the game to not spoil it, but anyways, he was that teensie.

I actually haven't finished it, so I'm yet to read that last spoiler tag. I was just sounding knowledgeable and hoping that I'd get to the end first.

Revelations happen. It's quite relevating.

After going through two monitors, one being down right defective and the other not wanting to work with my 360, I finally found a good one that will work. So many games to play. I started up Halo Anniversary and its pretty damn fun, everything feels great and I love the new audio.

Besides that I need to play Rayman Origins, Saints Row 3, Skyrim, and Ill probably pick up Crysis as well.

Binding of Isaac has kept me content while my 360 rested, quite fun.

Jamestown. I think I'm actually good at this game.

After dying lots in the first level, I've completed every level in one try, playing on Difficult. I've redone chapters 1 upto Divine and 2 upto Legendary without getting a game over, too. I also managed to beat the Bomb-dodging challenge.

I'd recommend it if you like bullets.

I just beat Braid again, with all the stars, again. The last(/first, technically) level still gets to me.

It was a lot easier than I remember. I think I've gotten better at timing puzzles over the years. Possibly also it helps that I know I've beaten it once; so I know I can do it again.

Just finished Half-Life. Brilliant game, nowhere near as great as its sequel, but still very enjoyable. I had to use saves a lot though.

Been playing Cave Story. I’ve been shooting for the perfect ending, after Curly died during my first attempt. Currently on my third try, as I’ve fucked up twice and started over. God damn this game pulls off some sneaky shit to try and get you the wrong ending.

It's a bit dark (Gameplay) and there try to make the games menu like GT5 menu. I like it that way. But it's so zoomed in too much unlike WRC 1. ):

I think you said the same thing. lol

What are you talking about? The menu is exactly the same as WRC 2010 except with a car in the background instead of the Earth.

Well motherfucker. The Land of the Livid Dead in Rayman Origins is really hard. Like, really really hard. It's all RUN PUNCH RUN LONG JUMP SHORT JUMP RUN SWING AVOID ENEMY GO GO

I'm having trouble in the second sequence of the first level in there, goddamn livid dead, I'm gonna get you.

EDIT: oh shit, it's not the first level, it's the level. welp, this'll take some time.

Exactly the same as the first game, apart from the addition of SSS and Power Stages.

Using the Safari category is a bit stupid though since none of the cars in that category are actually competitive. Though it is fun to attempt to win in the Peugeot 504...

Digging deeper into Saints Row 3, really seeing how it will expand and keep me content for a while. Love pretty much everything about it so far.

Also Mac, I blew that bitch building up.

I got the demo for Rayman Origins. I didn't like the controls and deleted it the next day.

I don't think it's a bad game. I'm just not into playing games as much as I was, so it really has to speak to me for me to do it. Also, I have never played a Rayman game other than the first Raving Rabbids, so there is no nostalgia factor for me.

The controls feel really weird at first, especially if you're used to games like N+ or Super Meat Boy. Since I bought SMB I'm worse at Origins because it becomes apparent how much it lacks precision.

I managed to beat Mr Dark this morning. I was a little disappointed that the first 2 parts of the fight were previous bosses. The chase was good fun, but I was annoyed that the last fight took place on Moskito. It was like the final battle of Rayman 2 all over again. Hopefully The Land of the Livid Dead will make up for that. I'm still 3 Dragon Teeth away from unlocking the final world. I'm on 164/200 Electoons to unlock all of the chase stages.

I did like the disco scene before the Mr Dark chase, however. It was a nice throwback to Rayman 1.
