30 Day Video Game Challenge

Day 13 - A game you’ve played more than five times.

Pokemon Black version

This is one of the two most recent pokemon games, and I must say, I have indeed played it more than 5 times.  In fact, I have beaten it three times.  Needless to say, I am addicted.  One of the reasons I like this game so much is that there is a decent amount of post game material.  Rather than simply beating the Elite Four and then proceeding to aggro the battle frontier, there is actually a storyline after you beat the game.  Granted, it is a pretty fragile, not very entertaining storyline, but it is there nonetheless and it gives you something to do.  Anyhow, yes, I have played this game more than five times and, on my current file, I have logged 100 plus hours of playtime.  Nothing compared to the 600 plus in pokemon Platinum and the 800 plus in Diamond, of course, but still.  I really hope that the game counts the time you leave your ds closed as playtime because, if not, i have wasted a significant portion of my life.

Soooo my laptop completely crashed

and that is why I have not been on at all for the past few weeks…………

Day 12 - A game everyone should play.

Minecraft.

This is an amazing and addicting game.  Out of every game I have ever owned, this is probably the one I have spent the most time playing (except maybe a certain Pokemon game).  If you haven’t heard of it, there is something wrong with you.  Or you live under a rock.

Anyhow, the main objective is mining blocks.  There are tons of different types.  Basically, you just build stuff with the blocks.  It sounds simple, but it’s not that easy.  At night, all manner of terrifying creatures come out and if you haven’t built a shelter with the blocks you’ve mined yet, your screwed, quite frankly.  But fear not! You can build weapons to fight them!  Swords and bows and arrows mostly, but if you use your ingenuity, there are countless ways to kill the hostile mobs.

But besides simple survival, there are countless other things you can do in this game.  Use your creativity!  Don’t limit yourself to simply building mansions.  Do something creative!  You can hollow out a massive area underground and build an epic maze!  Stick to your mansion idea but expound upon it! Make secret rooms only accessible by stepping on a pressure plate or by swimming underwater or jumping down a waterfall.  Anything is possible in this game!

I highly recommend this game.  You can buy it online for, I think 24 dollars?  Or you can play the classic version for free.  But the classic has no updates and the things you can do are limited compared to the full version.  But still, if you just wanna check it out, the classic is a great way to get into the game!

Day 9

Caught a bass today.  You know, there was a time when I was younger, when I could actually stand these retarded things your character says every time he catches something.  Now, it’s almost unbearable -.-

I’m not gonna lie, it’s clever, but not really funny and kinda dumb.  Did I just contradict myself?

Day 11 - Gaming system of choice.

I honestly would have to say the Gamecube.

True, it is a fairly outdated system, but I play mine ALL THE TIME.  To me, it is simply amazing and I don’t think I would pick anything else.  The xbox 360 is nice, especially with its “xbox live” and internet connection, but the gamecube will always be my favorite.

Day 8

Gah, I’m not gonna lie, I was sorely disappointed by the basement addition that I upgraded to.  I expected it to be like the second floor in animal crossing wild world, but it’s not.  I can’t even put in carpet and wallpaper ):

Granted, the extra space for items will be much needed, but still.  A bigger first floor would have been better to me xP

Day 10 - Best gameplay.

Time Splitters: Future Perfect.

It has very simple, easy to master controls, but at the same time, the game itself is a great challenge.  It is a first person shooter with pretty good graphics for a GC game and is INCREDIBLY fun…..I honestly have spent countless hours playing this.  In addition, it has really great multiplayer with multiple modes to try and it has pretty solid mapmaking.

Day 7

So Nook FINALLY stocked a fishing rod today.  I went and aggro’d the ocean and river and stocked up 148,000 bells to pay off my next expansion.  I had the option of a larger first floor or a basement.  I chose the basement.  This is really cool……ACWW didn’t give you options like that :D

Day 9 - Saddest game scene.

This may not seem like much without the context of the entire game leading up to this point, but I honestly cried at this point on my first time through the game.  Despite the crappy graphics the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games actually have a really cool storyline…….
