[ALL] Twigg's gaming chronicles

[Swarley]

Swarley and I just took a shit on the Lost in Nightmares DLC for RE5. Hopefully we can run through the Desperate Escape one later.

I really liked how puzzle oriented that was.

Are you being sarcastic? Because you kept complaining there wasn't anything to kill, and then giant sickle dude showed up.

My favorite part was what a great homage to RE1 it was.

They should have added some easy dudes. But no I'm not joking.

Ok, so I played my RttS again last night for the first time in about a week. I was rally getting into a groove. I even got Player of the Game for my first time ever. My avg was up to around .270, I het a few more HRs to get to a whopping 5 (LOL, got to about 35 RBIs and I'm getting pretty good at swiping bases. It's the second half of the AA season, after the All-Star break, and my team is doing very well even though I'm getting spotty starting opportunities and coming in to pinch hit.
By the way, in AA do the teams records start over after the All-Star break? Because that's what seemed to happen.
I've also been trying to work the count as JMS mentioned and one of my "goals" is to earn a few walks in the next few series'. That shit seemes impossible. I've had several times where I start the count 3-0 and the pitcher will throw 3 straight strikes. I can't seem to buy a walk.
But at least I've been hitting decently...until the injury. Everything is going well until in a game in my first at bat I get a single and RBI. The picther seems to be throwing a lot of offspeed stuff so I go to swipe second. I slide in head first and my player comes up writhing in pain. It was kind of funny because I was just wondering if I would ever see an injury. So I tore a ligament in one of my fingers. I get put on the 60-day DL and basically donw for the season.
My team makes it onto the playoofs only to lose the forst series 3-2. I was devasated because I know I could've helped them at least get further than that.
The next season hets started and I get offered a AAA single season contract for $83k. I accepted it so let's see how this goes.
I do wish I would've chose the O's at the outset though. I regret that. I let the CPU just sign me to a team and I'm in the Diamondbacks system. Oh well.
Injuries are part of the game and it just goes to prove how realistic that game is. I get more impressd by the day with it.

Played a ton of co-op with the Dizzle today. We finished up RE: ORC and also saw the alternate ending. We started the campaign up again with Buzzman but his internet crapped out once we hit level 3 I think. Then Jay and I jumped on to Lara Croft & the GoL after Brnt flaked again and Ned and Swarley didn't want to play Syndicate. Here's a hint guys, we will pribably NEVER finish that game if we don't play with three, unless Seth rebuys the game. I also tried to jump on ORC on 360 with Swarley but of course Thomas ignored my messages again because he was too busy watching Zune movies.:huh:

So Jay and I went with Lara and man do I still love that game. It looks beautiful and is a great c0-op game.

Gotta love auto-correct when posting from the ol' phone.

 

[Twigg4075]

So I'm thinking about pre-ordering RE6 (the fancy 360 edition), CoD BlOps 2 for my wife and Far Cry 3 from Best Buy, and along with Madden and Borderlands I already have reserved. It's hard to beat $20 gift cards for each.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm really getting sick of getting solid hits up the middle in RttS and getting "OK at-bat, 5 pts", especially when they are in clutch situations where my team is down.

Please get RE6 for PS3. My word I'll play that shit with you until the end of time.

 

[Twigg4075]

But I want the fancy edition. And the fancy edition of the PS3 version would be pointless to me. I already have RE5 gold and I already have all of the PS1 RE games thanks to PS+.

As for Arkham City, I am balls deep in that shit. I just completed the Mad Hatter scenario. That was cool as fuck. Ra's al Ghul was pretty bad ass as well. After exiting Mad Hatter's place I know have another Deadshot victim to find and I also need to find Nora Fries. I also need to head to the Sawmill which is where the last cannister is that I need to destroy for Bane. Phew! I have a lot of shit going on.

 

[Twigg4075]

Ok, so I took out that bitch Deadshot. Now I'm really looking forward to finding Nora Fries and getting I to the saw mill to get that stuff canister. The amount of characters and fan service in this game is incredible. I thought AA was great with that but this game is wow.

I pretty much mastered gliding aro nd the city now. I had to get to that reporter dude in three minutes or Deadshot would kill him. I got there in a little over one minute.

Since my first encounter with The Watcher I haven't seen him since. I guess he'll resurface soon.

My only real complaint with the game are the controls. It reminds me a lot of Assassin's Creed in the way that sometimes Batman just doesn't want to seem to do what you want him to and will just do his own thing. That's a pain in the ass when you're trying to complete some times Riddler trophy or something. Also, does anyone remember how to do that move when grappling where you can kick or pounce on an enemy of f they are near an edge of a building? It was introduced early on and I can't find it in my list of abilities.

Also for Med, Talia>Vicki Vale>Catwoman.

 

[Swarley]

The amount of characters and fan service in this game is incredible.

The ridiculous amount of characters in this game pretty much made it "Boner Jams '03."

 

[Twigg4075]

So, the other day I infiltrated the warehouse where Nora Fries is being held, but had to save right after. Getting in required several of your gadgets and I though it was genius. I have to admit that I had to check a YouTube guide though. Not because I couldn't figure it out per se, but mostly because I'm usually only able to play the game for maybe an hour or so per day. So I usually forget which new abilities I gained or unlocked the previous day and had completely forgotten that I obtained the freeze bombs that allowed you to freeze water.

Either way, that part was really cool. I'm definitely looking forward to tracking her down and then going after Joker in the saw mill.

I also still need to track down Zsasz with those crazy pay phones. I hope I didn't fuck myself because, I'm not sure I mentioned, the first few of those I didn't realize I was supposed to be tryingto trace the call. I just thought I was supposed to listen to his ramblings. I've done about four I think and I'm only around 70% I think. I also recently had a phone ringing near me but I was in the middle of kicking ass so I put it on the back burner. When I was finished mopping up the floor with Joker's pathetic henchmen the ringing stopped. Boo.

 

[Twigg4075]

Ok, so I finished the Zsasz, Bane and Mr. Freeze side missions and I'm infiltrating the saw mill to go after Joker. Am I nearing the end of the "story"? I haven't seen hide nor hair of The Watcher since the first time he showed up early in the game and I guess I need to solve a lot more riddles to get to the next Riddler hostage. I'm kind of burned out on those tho gh but I want to at least save the Hostages.

 

[Twigg4075]

I guess congratulations are finally in order because Arkham City is finally complete. What an amazing game. Now on to cleaning up some of the trophies.

I still need ONE more upgrade, The Watcher and the Riddler. But I know I'll never get that. I think I need to do the Serial Killer side mission too but I honestly don't remember anything about it or what I need to do.

You aren't missing too much. The Watcher and the Serial Killer side missions seem to only really exist for the sole purpose of setting up what I thought at the time was DLC, but since that ship has sailed I guess it could be sequel stuff? But even then with the rumors of them going to the Silver Age, that might not be true either. In both cases there is absolutely no resolution and just dangling plot lines.

Also, as someone who got all the Riddler trophies, I honestly can't say it's worth it. There are just too fucking many of them and the payoff is fun I guess, but not worth the time invested into it, IMO.

The thing I go back to every now and then are the Riddler Revenge challenge room. Some of the stealth challenges this time around are INSANE.

Glad you enjoyed it!

 

[Twigg4075]

I did end up finishing all of the side missions except for the Riddler. I only need two more of his hostages but that would still mean well over 100 riddles to solve. I upgraded everything except for one or two Catwoman things.

You're right Seth. The way that Watcher and Serial Killer stuff played out you would have to assume it's for DLC that never happened. Very weird.

As far as my Vita is concerned I'm thoroughly addicted to RttS. I got optioned to AAA but tore shit up and got called back up a few weeks before the end of the season. I'm thinking of asking for a trade because the Twins suck ass. I'm so sick and tired of smacking doubles, even ones off the wall, and the fucking CPU runner on forst doesn't score. You're fucking with my RBIs son!

 

[Twigg4075]

I am addicted to RttS on Vita. I've also been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros 2 on 3DS. I know Nintendo get s a ton of shit for rehashing the same franchises over and over but I don't think I'll ever get tired of a Mario game.

 

[Buzzman]

what is RttS?
