In my last post, I talked about picking up a copy of the game from a friend at church. I've been playing the tar out of X since then and have completed everything except a few Dark Aeons and Pennance. I'm trudging through the grind to get my Luck stat boosted (Greater Sphere for 2x Luck Spheres, then Earth Eater three times for the 6x Fortune Spheres needed to activate the Luck Spheres). It's a lot of grinding, but it's going to be necessary to continue.
So far, I've taken down Dark Valefor, Ixion, Ifrit, and Shiva. I've tried both Yojimbo and Bahamut, but even with maxed stats, they still evaded my attacks (hence the need for boosting luck). I'm determined to at least make it to Pennance, but we'll have to see if I bore of the Greater Sphere/Earth Eater grind over and over and over again...
Beyond that, the only thing I haven't accomplished is getting Wakka's Celestial Weapon fully powered. I like Blitzball, but it gets tiring playing the ton of games required to get the different reels. I have a Break Damage Limit weapon for him as it is, so he's not completely useless.
If I decide to go trophy hunting and go for the platinum, I've only got a few left. The first being Wakka's Attack Reels. I've also got to max out the sphere grid for one, and then all characters. My main team of Yuna, Rikku and Titus are close to being there already and if I wanted to waste time grinding out easy spheres (MP, Accuracy or Evasion) I could do it fairly quickly. I also have the one in Remium Temple to get 5 chests and win the race. Then there is the beat Pennance trophy. Off the top of my head, that's all I have left. So close!
I'll stick with X for a while longer before moving on to X-2.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
A few weeks back, I bought a copy of the Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster off a friend at church and I've been playing it quite a bit. It brings back a lot of memories running through Spira once more and I'm glad I acquired it.
I've played several other HD Remasters of older PS2 games and this is definitely one of the better ones. Quite often, I've been playing other games and all I could think about was how "last gen" the game was. Yes, the graphics looked better, but it was still slow and clunky behind that compared to more modern games. Fortunately, FF X still holds its own. Yes, it has quirks that scream PS2 like awkward animation and camera, but the gameplay is still solid, even after all these years.
Story wise, I haven't completed it yet. Even though it's an old game, I still don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say I've completed Zanarkand and am doing side-quests now. In fact, last night I acquired an item I was never able to get in the original PS2 version. I beat the Chocobo Trainer with a time of 0:0:0. I'll finally be able to get Titus' Celestial Weapon! (His was the only one I didn't have before).
I've ran into some of the Dark Aeons and have managed to die horribly each and every time. They are going to be a challenge for sure. I know I can beat Nemesis in the Arena (I did last time and I'm so far doing better now than I was then), and we'll have to see how things go later on.
I read my old review of the game and I gave it a 9.5/10, a score I still stand behind.
Eventually, I'll complete X and move on to X-2 and see if it is as well redone as X.

Another One Bites the Dust
It's a sad time in my house right now. A good friend of mine has passed away. That's right, my Playstation 3 bit the dust.
It had a good life though, being one of the older consoles. It's hard drive may have only been 40GB, but it had a lot of heart and a lot of hours through countless games. It saw millions of bullets fired and bad guys eliminated; countless worlds saved and races won. It lived the high life.
Dark times loom ahead until a suitable replacement can be found. Games will gather dust and controllers will go unused. A dustless spot where the console once stood will slowly begin to gather dust now.
While the mighty quest for a replacement ensues, the Xbox 360 will rule the roost. Fare thee well SOCOM Friday Nights. Fare thee well.
So...who's up for some Borderlands 2?

Ratchet & Clank Collection - 2 Down, 1 To Go
Almost a year ago, I bought and started playing the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection on PS3. I stopped playing it, not because it wasn't "fun", but because I started playing other games in its place, namely Borderlands 2 and, of course, Minecraft. But, within the past few weeks, I picked it back up and continued playing through Going Commando. I finished it last night to 100% and got my Platinum Trophy.

New Game Acquisitions and Playing
Yes, I do play other games than Minecraft. I know it's a little hard to believe, but that is the truth.
In fact, I've almost finished the first Ratchet & Clank game in the Ratchet & Clank Collection. I'm to the point where I'm battling Chairman Drek, but I've been going back bolt collecting to buy the RYNO. This game is still a ton of fun, but I want to finish it off as much as possible first before moving on to the next games in the trilogy which I enjoy more.
I have also had a chance to play some Borderlands 2 on the Xbox 360. That was a ton of fun and I love the humor and style of it. This is definitely a game I will be getting in the future, but probably after Christmas unless someone buys it for me as a Christmas gift *cough*blackfriday*cough*...
In the meantime, a good friend of mine lent me his copy of the first Borderlands game on the Xbox 360, so I do have something Borderlands to keep me occupied. I know the very general story from what my brother has said, but am still looking forward to experiencing it myself.
While said friend was over, he brought his newly acquired copy of Halo 4 with him and we played co-op through the campaign. I have been playing Halo games for a while now, but this one just blew me away with its beauty. We were watching the opening cutscene and it took me a long time to realize it was CG and not live-action. I knew they had done a lot of live-action promotional videos and thought they had continued it into the game. Amazingly beautiful. I'm really liking the new enemies and characters too. It mixes it up a little and brings some new life into the game. He left before we could finish the campaign, so now I'm left hanging until I can get it myself. Unfortunately, that's probably going to be sometime next year.
For my latest acquisition, which just happened this week, I finally picked up a copy of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for the PS3. I'm looking forward to our first Friday Game Night to get into the game and play. So far, all I've done is download the update and do the data install.
In Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, the 1.8.2 bug fix update just came out and added several new fixes, the best of which is the option to turn the void fog off. I miss the particle effects, but am glad it's gone! It's nice to be able to see my creations once again. Since the patch, I have also expanded my underground wheat garden to a second room with pumpkins growing in it. I now have an unlimited supply of Jack-o-Lanterns.
I also created a new world and have been playing it from scratch on Easy. Luckily, there was a village nearby so the first night's shelter was taken care of. It's a desert village that is almost secure from monsters. There are still a few dark corners that they can come from, but that will be taken care of once I find more coal. I secured my village by surrounding it by a wall of Cacti all the way around it. It's a much larger challenge to start off with monsters on and get a base setup than I thought. I'm enjoying the challenge though. Once I get my base secure, it's off to the mines in hunt of diamond and other resources.
So that's what's been going on recently. Lots of fun and more to come.

Ratchet & Clank Collection so far
Obligatory First Post: About Me
I guess I should start out with the basic post you see on almost every other blog in the world, the "About Me" post. For the record, I hate talking about myself, but I do love talking about games. With that said, this is more of an "About my Gaming History" than about me. So here we go.
I'm a child of the 1980's. I grew up in the decline of Atari and the rise of Nintendo and the boom of home entertainment. But my first gaming system was actually neither of those. I started my gaming with Pong on a 15" Color TV. High class there. But it got me interested in it and I spent lots of time playing that simple game.
A little later on, when one of my older sisters was at college, she left her Atari at home. That blew me away compared to the simplistic Pong. I remember jumping over crocodile infested ponds in Pitfall and gobbling up endless dots and ghosts in Pac-Man. So much fun, and I wish she hadn't taken it back after she graduated.
So there I was without a console to play on when my neighbor got this thing called a "Nintendo". I had a hard time playing that thing at first. It had two whole buttons on it! lol. But I was enthralled with Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt and begged my parents to buy me one. They eventually gave in and sometime in the late 1980's (I don't remember exactly when) they bought it for me. I was in love with gaming from that point forward. I spent a majority of my free time in front of the TV, which had been upgraded to a whopping 19", playing the original Super Mario Brothers games, the Legend of Zelda, Captain Skyhawk, Tetris, Adventures of Kirby and so many more. I was addicted and loved it!
After playing the NES for a good long time, my next big upgrade was to the Super Nintendo in 1994. It made all those 8bit games look like kiddie games. I sunk even deeper into the gaming world through Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, F-Zero, Final Fantasy II, Super Mario RPG and so many more. I played these games so much, I'm surprised they didn't wear out. In fact, I still have the vast majority of Link to the Past memorized, and I'll talk about what that means in today's time in a later post...
At this point in time, I was definitely a Nintendo Fanboy, even if I didn't realize it. I knew there was a Sega Genesis out there, but couldn't care less about it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing Sonic the Hedgehog at a friends house, but give me Link and Mario any day. So, sticking with that fanboyism, I moved on to the Nintendo 64 in 2008. I honestly didn't even consider a Sega Dreamcast or Sonly Playstation at that point in time.
Once again, I was blown away by the awesome graphics of Super Mario 64 and the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This was about the time when I started making good friends, many of whom I still have today, and we started gaming together on the N64. We'd race in Mario Kart 64, shoot the tar out of each other in Goldeneye 007 and eventually Perfect Dark. We would race Extreme G or Cruisn' USA and even try our hand at some Turok: Rage Wars multiplayer. It was at this stage when gaming started to become social and a whole new world of enjoyment opened up.
I also have a lot of great memories from the N64's single player games. I loved the destruction of Blast Corps and the scope and feel of Jet Force Gemini. I had a blast with Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. I also can't rave enough for Paper Mario and Donkey Kong 64. Last year I began experimenting with emulation again and I was able to play a few of these on the big screen using a laptop and PS3 controller. Didn't even have to dig out the old console and games. But back to the timeline...
It was also during these years in the late 1990's when I started gaming on the PC as well. I played games such as The 7th Guest and 11th Hour. I loved solving the puzzles in the Myst series and blasting enemies in Descent. I had fun with Black & White and built huge metropolises in Sim City. I also got hooked on StarCraft and Diablo. On top of all that, me, with my little Dial-up Internet connection, ventured online for the first time. So much fun. But, consoles still took up most of my time and I played them the most.
In 2002, not long after it had been released, I took the next console leap and moved to the Nintendo Gamecube. 3D got a whole lot better looking, but I wasn't blown away as much as I was from the SNES to N64 jump. Still, I enjoyed Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and even Pikmin. But to be honest, there wasn't a whole lot about the Gamecube that I remember playing. Not as many memorable moments I guess. It was here that I began to slip away from Nintendo as my "only" console. I started playing more on the PC and even fired up the N64 more often. That of course changed with the release of Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure. I had to go out and buy a Gameboy Advanced with GCN Cable just to play this game with a friend. Now that was fun.
But all gaming eras come to an end. I believe it was in 2005 for my birthday when my wife bought me something I never expected. She bought me a Playstation 2, my first non-Nintendo console. Talk about a whole new world of gaming! I suddenly found myself with access to a wealth of great games to discover, some of which quickly became new favorites. There was Final Fantasy X and X-2, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, the Sly Cooper Trilogy, Ratchet & Clank series, Jak and Daxter and so many more. Plus, for the first time, I was able to play Playstation 1 games. I never really bought that many of them, but I did get a copy of Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX. I also picked up Chrono Cross and the original Gran Turismo.
This put me in a conundrum when the current generation of consoles started coming out. I didn't know which way to go. A Playstation 3 was insanely expensive at the time and all I heard about the Xbox 360 was how frequently it Red Ringed. So there was Nintendo with it's non-HD, limited online Wii for a price point that was affordable. On top of all that, it was also Nintendo so I naturally I went with it first.
Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was a blast. I still get chills thinking about the final battle in Twilight Princess. That was so much fun. I also discovered the Rayman Raving Rabbids series and found the comedy hilarious. Those games played host to a couple of group parties, including a Halloween one. There's something fun about shooting rabbids with a plunger while dressed up in costume yourself. ;)
After a while, I stopped playing the Wii and instead played the PS2 more often, all while saving up money to buy a Playstation 3. I'm not sure why exactly I stopped and never went back. I guess you can only waggle a controller so many times before it gets old and developers didn't seem to want to innovate enough for me. So I moved on, or rather back. I might pick up a copy of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and play it again one day.
Eventually, I had saved up enough cash to buy a Playstation 3. I also happened to catch a clearance sale at Toys-R-Us and got a 40GB model for $299 as they were being discontinued. And thus, I entered into the realm of modern HD Gaming. At this point in time, many of my co-workers had PS3s and were playing online every Friday night. The game of choice at the time: SOCOM: Confrontation. By the time I jumped in, most of the game-breaking bugs were fixed and I had a blast playing it with the guys. We've also spent countless hours playing Call of Duty: World at War and Black Ops as well as racing in DiRT 2 and Gran Turismo 5. Currently, we're split between some of us playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and others (myself included) playing Resistance 2 or Uncharted 3 while we wait for the price to drop on Future Solider.
Solo play, I played the entire Ratchet & Clank: Future trilogy and loved it. I also have played all the Uncharted games, Portal 2 and Final Fantasy XIII. There are others too, of course, but those are some of my favorites
Not too long after I got my PS3, a friend of mine wanted to upgrade his Xbox 360 to a newer one that wasn't prone to the Red Ring of Death and he sold me his old one relatively cheap. With that, my collection of current-gen consoles was complete. I had a Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360. Finally, I was able to play the Halo games at my own house and not just at a friends. I also played Fable, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Half-Life 2 and Portal (via the Orange Box) and several others.
Alas, all good things must come to an end and my Xbox finally Red Ringed on me. It was sad, but I eventually saved enough money to buy the Arcade Version and I moved my hard drive over from the dead system and kept on going.
That short novel is a basic recap of my gaming history from Pong to the current generation. As for what I'm currently playing, I'm going back and forth between the Ratchet & Clank Collection on the Playstation 3 and Minecraft on the Xbox 360. Minecraft has become a little bit of an obsession here recently. According to Raptr, I've played well over 200 hours. Love it! More to come on my in-game creations soon...
And as for all those old consoles, I never got rid of a single one. I still have every console and almost every game I ever owned for them. As far as I know, they all still work too. Eventually, I'll get a full game-list online of every game I own.
And with that, I'd like to say: Hello, my name is Ebi Furya, and I am a gamer. Now let's go play something!
