Became a Master Romancer for the Bunnycombs today, which meant I didn’t really need them any more, so sold them. I then made a start breeding Lickatoads and Newtgats, becoming a Master Romancer in the latter. I also tamed a Macaracoon, but buying a Cluckles (which the Sour Macaracoon ate), and by being a Master Romancer for five (well, six really) species. Managed to find a few more variants too, making pink Buzzlegums, a pink Pretztail, a green Pretztail, and …
Went back and did some goals and things I’d found early on in the game today. With my improved stats, I managed to sail through some of them, improve some Ams to Pros and Pros to Sicks, and got my rank up to 69 (dudes!). I then had a go at playing online, but my 360 crashed when I tried to connect. Bah.
Surprise last minute witness! I won’t say who, but it is most bizarre. The last hour of play twisted the plot all over the place. One minute I was defending my client, the next accusing him, then back again. Then Edgeworth was on the same side as me, we swapped sides, swapped back, and then von Karma joined in! Confused? You will be! And then I had a choice of two routes to take – declare my client guilty or …
More goals and stuff today, including some Classic goals, and also opening up the Factory area. I’ve bumped my rank up to 98 now too, but sadly, no achievement for 100.
And now there’s some more investigationing. I’ve been everywhere again, found some interesting evidence which makes my client look somewhat guilty, been to where Maya is (but didn’t see her!) and have broken some psyche-locks on Engard. Yeah, that means my client had a secret. A nasty one at that. I won’t spoil it for my readers by mentioning it, though. That would be evil… I now have to break Adrian’s psyche-lock too, and I assume I have all the …
Still nothing much going down in Cheese town. As it were. Word. I have a new resident called Boone (he’s a baboon), who looks rubbish so I don’t like him. Kabuki has sent me a letter to say it’s his birthday on November the 29th. I don’t care. I’m not buying him anything. Aside from talking to my animals, I did a load of weeding too. Weeds are rubbish.
Went on a bit of a selling spree today, as my garden was full again. Sold all my Squazzils (I had some left, it seems), most of my remaining Flutterscotches (except a yellow one which it doesn’t give me the option of selling), and then set about getting a Master Romancer award for Whirlms and Bunnycombs. After that I sold most of them too, and started breeding Newtgats.
Forced myself into actually doing some missions, challenges, spot tricks, goals and other things in order to actually progress through the game. It’s amazing how much time you can spend just doing tricks for no reason. I’ve managed to rank up to 113 now. I’m hoping you get an achievement for getting to 100, as I haven’t scored many gamerpoints yet. Opened up The School and The Slums areas of the map too.
Hmm. I don’t think I’ll be “buying” the full version of this. It’s just Super Smash Brothers only with guns, and without the fun, characters, or charm. I played a couple of games, didn’t really see the appeal, and turned it off.
Only a brief couple of goes on this while I waited for Small Arms to download. Only managed to get as far as wave 2, and scraped together a rather feeble 8,500-ish points. I’m so crap at this game.
MATING FRENZY! Well, sort of. I mated a load of Squazzils and some Lickatoads, and then made a start on selling my Jameleons, Squazzils and Candaries. I need the space for the Lickatoad population explosion I’m expecting to create. Also decided to try and coax some more Bunnycombs and Whirlms back in, as I haven’t got the Master Romancer award for either of those, even though I’ve bred them a billion times each. Tamed my first Crowla today too! That …
Right. I forced myself to actually get stuck in properly, and not spend hour after hour just doing random tricks to bump up my stats. So I’ve impressed a few pros (Daewon Song’s “missions” being the best), and have done loads of the graffiti challenges, and some other things too. Sadly, I’m not up to Sick status yet, and have managed to get Sick on just one challenge. Bah. No doubt this will be resolved as by stats improve. I …
Finally, I’ve finished off the first day’s trial. It seemed to go on and on forever, and just when I was about to get the Not Guilty verdict, it all went horribly wrong and I didn’t. The trial is going to be extended by another day (which is bad for Maya – for reasons I won’t spoil), and Edgeworth is at his most strange at the moment. It’s all still good though!
Doomed. I’m doomed. Completely. If having Viva Pinata wasn’t addiction enough, having not one but two new Tony Hawk games (and a third is out on the Wii in less than three weeks) is just going to cause me to apply for treatment in a clinic somewhere. So I put this on. Two hours later, I was still completely ignoring most of the goals and missions, and was instead just messing around, and doing that Tony Hawk favourite: “Take Your …
