Final Fantasy XI (PC): Did a chunk of Campaign today, then teamed up with Div for some pages in Ro'Maeve. Good stuff, but not a very good day for games. Just wasn't feelin' it!
Sonic Adventure DX (360): Made it through the Carnival area as Sonic, then played around a bit as Amy, just did her first level. Fun stuff! I really do like Amy's gameplay, but people don't seem overly thrilled with it on the GameFAQs boards, hmm...

Final Fantasy XI (PC): Not much, did an Undead Swarm Besieged with Nanabi, Tam and a few randoms, Nanabi being from Abyssea last night. From there, I helped Div get some skillups. Pretty badass now that I can solo Infernal and Apocalyptic Weapons!
Sonic Adventure DX (360): Really only meant to play for a level, but naturally ended up playing for a couple. Messed around the city a bit, forgot how silly it was! Moved from there to the Casino since night had fallen...
I totally forgot how great a feeling that was to play NiGHTS into Dreams pinball. The NiGHTS inspired backdrops, the little scene where NiGHTS flies through loops and through a miniature version of "Spring Valley," all while "Message from Nightopia" plays. It's such an awesome feeling.
I got all 400 coins I needed right there, didn't even bother with the other games or options, hahah.
From there, I hit up Ice Zone, and then a quick lil boss battle with Eggman. Unlocked Knuckles, which makes me a cringe a little with all his awkward digging levels, but I thiiiiink Amy is next. IIRC enjoying her levels after Sonic's, so I've got hopes!

Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce (360): Just a little more progress. I'm still not sure about all the controls, and the constant but brief loading screens between areas are jarring and ugly. Still, it's nice that it's easier to indulge in smaller doses, and the graphics just look gorgeous.
I've nabbed a couple more Wu generals now, but still have yet to really sink my teeth into things. Did the Yellow Turban battle though... classic stuff, if again a little more small-scale.
Final Fantasy XI (PC): Two big events today: Windower, and Divineempress. With a buddy taking up the Windower thing as well, and XIV/PSP2 coming up, I figured I'd give it a go again (the problem didn't work last time, whoops!). It took a lot of tweaking, but it's pretty nice. Being able to see cooldowns without navigating several menus, use a controller while the game is in the background, and simple logging ability (as in, not logging like a lumberjack, which you can do in game, but chat/battle logging).
It also removes the fog in the distance, which is nice. It doesn't show you anything further away, just removes the gray.
And Divineempress made her return to XI, and it came down to me to help her get back into the swnig of things. We just did a quick page in Terrigan, took on some crabs and raptors, nothing special!
Phantasy Star Portable 2 (PSP): FINALLY! ...or not, all I did was install it to the memory card. I think I'ma create Dyne in the PSP demo, move him to the full game, then back to the PSP2 demo, then to the full game!
Sonic Adventure DX (360): First actual level today, and it felt nice to be playing again. Surely the controls are a little wonky by today's standards, but it's still highly playable and a nice dose of nostalgia.
Ho boy, that camera though... almost makes me nauseous, hahah.
Took a little stroll around the city, hit up the ruins area and had all sorts of memories of digging around as Knuckles during one of Sega's SA internet contests back in the day. So much I've forgotten, like the battle with Robotnik outside of Tail's workship, before you even get to the Mystic Ruins (which I played through as well!).
Gah, wish there weren't so many games on my plate right now, I really wouldn't mind replaying SA in depth.

We were totally gonna hit up an Abyssea party around noon, and I totally slept in late. Bad, bad, bad, Chuck, ugh.
Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce (360): Just played a little to get a taste for it. The small areas are way uncool, but the hub town and freedom is way cool. And the graphics are gorgeous on my 32" 1080p, heehee. I'm really excited to sink my teeth deeper into this.
Final Fantasy XI (PC): We did finally get an Abyssea with a leader who didn't know what he was doing. We were passing on ruby lights because he wanted loot and supposedly they would inhibit the appearance of chests. After much debate and consulting of the Wiki, we finally convinced him that not only does ruby light increase the speed at which we gain EXP, it also INCREASED both the quality AND quantity of the red chests he wanted! Ugh, that really hindered our progress.
Still, I did nab the last Kindred Crest I needed, as well as the four merits required to beat Limit Break 7, so I made that progress!
Sonic Adventure DX (360): Just did Emerald Coast and unlocked Tails. Memories. <3

Nabbbed some new stuff today, just doing general shopping... turns out the new Lord of the Rings is out! I finally broke down and got Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce as well while waiting for PSP2 to come out, and it turns out Sonic Adventure hit Xbox Live! Naturally I had to nab that one!
Final Fantasy XI (PC): Hit up another Lamia Besieged while trying to get an Abyssea party, and alas, it was getting too late, so we had to throw in the towel. Still, any day with snake ladies is a good day!
Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest (PS3): The character models look goofy, and everything about the package screams, "cheesy." And yet, the game's a lot of fun, and a lot more varied than previous LotR releases. The Shire acts as a hub world, and from there you can experience Aragorn's story. You don't just fight, you actually get to run around, explore, do mini-games, and on top of that Gandolf plays significantly different than Aragorn, so it's not just cookie-cutter.
Momy and myself played for an hour or so, enjoyed some White Castle, then hit it up again, this time passing the controller between the two of us and Abby. Ahh, good times!
I think we stopped... after evading the Nazgul in that first city area after the quest begins?
Sonic Adventure DX (360): I think I... looked at the title screen? Gotta sink my teeth into it later, LotR was the focus today!
Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP): Nothing special. Used the code from Sega's online "Lotte Insider" to unlock Faldio (oh boy, how decidedly not exciting), and did the "Tunnel Offensive" mission. Slow but sure progress!
