Progress in Zombies Ate My Neighbors on Super Nintendo is slow going. Part of that is just because I'm not playing a ton, but it's also so challenging to maintain 10 people, even with earning an extra. I have a password at level 17, and I'm having a hell of a time getting to 21 with 10 victims. Those tourist couples that turn into werewolves are so cheap. I mean, there are situations where it's literally impossible to save them all in time. Like how there are two couples in stage 17, and if you start the stage with the level 17 password (and thus with the default equipment), there's no way to get to both in time. I just have to accept the loss and hope I do perfect on the other three stages since the squidmen stage and werewolf stage aren't very good for building points and apparently you can only get one bonus victim per stage (I hit a multiple of 40,000 twice in stage 20, yet only earned one, grrr).
*looks at the title*
Can we say "weekly" check?
I've been playing different games that I just recently purchased:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Wii)
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
Yesterday:
Kickle Cubicle
Dr. Mario
I'm trying to *finally* beat Kickle Cubicle. I managed to get about a third through the fourth world: "Toy Land." Good thing for passwords! I just suck at Dr. Mario...
Today:
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3)
I decided to give Kid Chameleon a try and determined that I think it sucks pretty hard...I also played Ristar and didn't have much of an opinion of him, either. It seems he chokes things...including chickens...how strange...
I will have to find more time to dust off some of the games I have been neglecting for a while...

I currently switching between Dragon Quest IX and Skyrim.

Playing some Just Cause 2. Is this not the best game ever made?
Listen to some great Trance/Electro! http://www.soundcloud.com/lee-w-1
friend just bought a wii (I'm still without a console) so we started playing smash bros story mode gonna make it a weekly thing for a few hours a week. Mario kart is on the way in the mail to his place so that will see play as well
I haven't been making much in the way of progress into my backlog of games lately. Outside of some headway into Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, I've pretty much been binge playing WoW (I will have that damn Loremaster title).
I've been messing around with Obake no Q Tarou Wanwan Panic for the Famicom as of late. Chubby Cherub, which I don't own, is the North American localization of the game, by the way. While the game is hardly the most amazing platformer, there is a certain charm to the game that keeps me playing- the charm could in all likelihood be boiled down to the protagonist being a ghost that looks like a duck. Why that does so much for me I can't quite say other than I've always liked Donald Duck and been a bit macabre ever since childhood. The theme song is nice, too.
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! (NES)
I have Punch Out!! on Virtual Console, but I wanted the real deal in physical form. I breezed through the opponents in the first round until I got to Great Tiger. He took until Round 3 for some reason. Bald Bull was dispatched with in the second round. I made it to Soda Popinski before getting my butt handed to me twice in a row. I always get the timing wrong on him. That's officially the furthest I can get, too!

Raiden Trad (SNES)
Such a fantastic Multiplayer Shmup (which are NOT COMMON on an American SNES) and it's cheap to buy too! Played It for hours without getting bored. Liked it so much I may just have to post a review.
Yesterday:
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition (PS3)
I haven't played GTA IV in a couple weeks. I got stuck at the spot where you have to save your cousin Roman. I decided to give it another shot. I made it through the warehouse and tried to shoot the guy holding Roman, but then it said Roman was executed. I have no idea if I shot him or the guy did.
Moving on to Batman, I got past the guys A MONTH AGO that were giving me such fits on the way to the Batmobile. I progressed to saving the doctors (sad to say that's only 5% done!) and am tracking Commissioner Gordon again. I think I have problems sometimes because I am a rush headlong into things kind of guy, and Batman has to be stealth in his motions sometimes. That and he has too many puzzles to figure out! What did I expect, huh? Awesome games though...

Mine Storm - Vectrex
Texas Hold 'em - Playstation Home (yes, it's super lame, but fun to chat with interesting people)
Sonic 1 & 2 - PS3 (until I get all the trophies)
I will beat Ninja Gaiden.

Crazy Taxi
Dead or Alive 2

Test Drive Unlimited
New Super Mario Bros Wii (Wii)
Even thought I beat it before (ages ago), I like replaying it. It reminds me of Super Mario Bros 3 in so many ways, mixed in with a bit of Super Mario World (the ghost houses and Yoshi, specifically). I am about halfway through world 3 (the Ice world) and am having a blast. I don't feel like saving that useless Toad, though...he gets in trouble too much! (You know....when you have to backtrack because he screams "Help me!")

Started Blue Dragon. Aside from a few script quarks, I'm really enjoying it so far.
After recently getting the Loremaster title on my main (this is WoW stuff, btw), I decided that I'd like to see the Alliance side of a few different stories, so I'm now in the process of leveling a new character.
I found myself suddenly having access to the Diablo 3 beta, so I've been testing out different classes with that. Can't say much has changed for me, Diablo still isn't my kind of game.
Angry Fish,Angry Birds..anything that's Angry...
It will be my first. I haven't had a chance to play the past few days, but lvl 5.1 at the very end when you have to jump off and a bird flies right at you? That part's a bitch.

It's been awhile since my last update, but I don't have a whole ton to report.
I haven't played Zombies Ate My Neighbors on Super Nintendo in weeks (although I do intend to get back into it), but last I left off, I had a password with all 10 victims at level 33? Something like that. It's going to be a pain getting to the next password because there's a big boss fight before the password, and it's really tight on ammo to start with the closest password to the fight. They're not easy stages to keep everyone alive in, either.
I did start up and complete Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow on my Game Boy Advance SP in the meantime, though. Like usual with these Metroidvania games, I'm maxing out everything (every soul, every item drop, at least one of every item in the game, max level, etc.). I'm basically done with all of that now, but I just learned that you can't truly get everything unless you're in hard mode where a few extra items show up. Oh well, my file is complete as far as normal mode goes.
I'm also FINALLY cleaning and trying out the pile of games I got on and around Christmas. Had some fun playing a tiny bit of Life Force and Super C on NES, but I stink at both, haha. Then I tried out a couple additions to my Nintendo 64 import collection: Susume! Taisen Puzzle Dama and Zool: Majuu Tsukai Densetsu. I ended up beating Susume! Taisen Puzzle Dama. Nice quality puzzle game, and it's fun to see a few things added to the formula compared to the original Taisen Puzzle Dama and TwinBee Taisen Puzzle Dama that I already have. Zool I feel a little more torn about. I'm not super crazy about Pokemon-style RPGs in the first place, but the battle system seems fairly fun and the graphics are really nice in parts. But moving around in a dungeon... oof. The sprite looks so awkward against the 3D terrain, and everything moves kind of slow and choppy. It's very bizarre. It seems like it could potentially be a pretty good game if I seriously sat down with it and grew accustomed to its quirks, but, either way, I'm glad to finally get this one in the collection and move another step closer to having every Japan-exclusive N64 game that isn't sports or some gambling/board game like pachinko, mahjong, and shogi.
