I played for about an hour and a half. I solved a few story quests, and got an upgrade core and some other nice items. My character is now level 43. I’ll try to find a guild to join tonight.

Cabal Online (PC), Part 2
It’s a nice MMO, but it’s still a grind fest like most of them. I played for about an hour. I solved a few quests, and got a level. Now I’m level 42. I also got an astral bike license, but I won’t be using it, since I think you have to pay real money to get it. I’ll play tonight again probably.
Diablo II – Lord of Destruction (PC), Part 7
Nothing much, my friend and I just finished normal difficulty with our druids. We did it on an 8 players setting (stronger enemies), and it wasn’t too hard. We will probably continue tomorrow.
Devil May Cry IV (PC) (COMPLETED)
What a great game! I was wrong yesterday, I wasn’t at mission 12, I was at mission 10. However, today I’ve finished it. It took me about nine hour’s total. Off course, this is just the Human difficulty, and there’s still a bunch of them to go. I also need to improve my rank on every mission, and finish all of the secret missions. Clearing Human got me The Legendary Dark Knight difficulty, some gallery images, and it changed the title screen picture. I also managed to save Kyrie in the Credits video, which got me another epilogue video. I really recommend this game to everyone. It’s fun, cool, and extremely optimized, as it runs at full speed on my mid-end computer.
Cabal Online (PC), Part 1
I had a level 38 Force Mage that I haven’t played for months. I got him to level 40 last night. I bought some nice items, including gloves and boots that increase my hit rate which I really need. I haven’t found any valuable items, but I did solve some story quests. The development team really needs to work on their English, because the dialogs are filled with typos and mistranslations. I plan to solve my class quest today, and then continue to Devil May Cry.
EDIT: Class quest solved. I’m level 41 now.
Devil May Cry IV (PC), Part 2
I’m on mission 12. I’m not really got at this game (either that or it’s really hard). I’m playing on Human difficulty which is the lowest, and I finish most of my missions with rank B. After replaying the first mission I got rank A with ease, but S will be extremely difficult. I’m mostly upgrading my sword because I don’t like the guns. Right now I’m saving up for the Air Hike move which will allow me to do a double jump. Based on the score table, there should be eight missions left. After that, the Devil Hunter difficulty awaits me.
Devil May Cry IV (PC), Part 1
After finishing Mass Effect, I installed this one, and I’m glad I did. It really is an excellent game. The graphics are beautiful, the performance is excellent, and this time, the controls actually work. I’ve completed the first five missions on Human difficulty. Right now I’m taking a break, and will either continue tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on what’s on TV tonight.
Mass Effect (PC) (COMPLETED)
What a great game! I just loved every minute of it. I completed the game on level 46, but I think level 50 was the maximum. Completition earned me the right to replay with the same character and to get up to level 60. It also unlocked an extra difficulty. There were some sad moments, including a situation where I had to choose between the lives of two of my starting teammates. I thought I could save them both, but in the end, Ashley died.
It turned out; the Reapers are a race of machines that live in the dark space outside the galaxy. Every time an organic civilization would get advanced enough, they would come and destroy it for some unknown reason. The ship that Saren used, the Sovereign, is actually one of the Reapers, and Saren was really under his control. The Citadel itself was a mass relay trough which the reapers would invade. This would grant them a fast way in to the galaxy, and at the same time isolate all of the Council races by disabling the relay network. Off course I had to stop it.
The Protheans actually managed to create their own mass relay which gave me a back door entrance to the Citadel. This allowed me to reach Saren before he could activate the relay to the dark space. I managed to convince him that he was under control of the Sovereign, so he took his own life. The Sovereign didn’t like this, and activated Saren’s implants, which transformed him in some sort of cyborg. While I was fighting him, the Alliance fleet managed to save the Ascension, an Asari ship on which the Council took refuge. After disposing of the Geth ships, they combined their forces and attacked the Sovereign. I defeated Saren about at the same time as the Sovereign was destroyed.
As an expression of gratitude, Humanity was granted a place in the Council as an equal to the other races. Sheppard decided to find a way to defeat the Reapers once and for all. The End!
I strongly recommend this game to everyone even if you don’t like role playing games. It’s really great in almost every aspect.
Diablo II – Lord of Destruction (PC), Part 6
Just an hour or two invested today. We got through most of normal difficulty with our druids. Now we’re at act V and we have just killed Shenk. I also managed to find the problem with my network connection. For the past few days, every time one of us would leave the game, the other computer would drop him, which would result in the character not saving. It seems a problem was not with the network, but with my shared stash (I use Plugy). One of the items in the stash corrupted the entire file and that was what caused the drops. I gave a few of my better items to my friend and deleted the stash file. Now everything works perfect again.
Diablo II – Lord of Destruction (PC), Part 5
Last night a friend stopped by again, and we played with our sorceress/amazon combo. We got through the first half of act 3 hell, and it was a bitch. My amazon is a non standard build and is harder to play than most characters. Also, our equipment sucks and our resistances are mostly negative. Today we will try to finish hell, so we can concentrate on getting equipment.
EDIT: We haven’t finished it, but we did get to chapter V. Chaos Sanctuary was hard as hell (duh!), bud Diablo himself was a breeze thanks to teamwork. We both started running towards him, I cast my Valkyre next to him to keep him busy, and when I came close I cast slow missiles for his red lightning, and then started attacking him. In the meanwhile, my friend came close to, and used static field a couple of times. This got him to about a third of his health, the rest of which I easily took using charged strike.
