Here's the games I've been playing this month, but have been too lazy to post:

Final Fantasy VII
I finally broke down and bought this on PSN so I could get rid of my physical copy. I tried to pull my save off of the PS2, but it didn't recognize my flash drive. Of course, I'm not even sure it would have even been compatible with the PSN version anyway. I started a new game and I just whooped Rufus on top of the Shinra building. I think pretty much everyone is around level 16.

Final Fantasy IX
Another cave buy to get rid of my physical copy. I installed it and watched the intro.

Pokemon SoulSilver
I'm still leveling. I have four of six up to level 60. The two stragglers are L53 and L50. I've been neglecting the game lately because I've been trying to get my laptop back up to snuff. Oh, and to catch up on my sleep. I've been really tired lately for some reason.

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
I..uh..forgot where I was. I haven't played since the beginning of the month.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Restarted my game. I was at the end with the previous save, but never finished it. I only restarted because now they've added trophies. Not looking to more multiplayer trophies. Hopefully they won't be too demanding. Anyway, not sure exactly where I am, but Manny's dead, Elizabeta's in jail, and I've only done one of Packie's missions.

Red Dead Redemption
Just assaulted Fort Mercer and now I'm in Mexico. Lovin' the game so far :)

I'm still here daily, just usually too lazy to post.

Why would you get rid of your copy of FFVII? It's gonna get pretty valuable. Guess you aren't a collector like I am.

Reiaze said over 2 years ago

Eh, its just a casualty of my downsizing movement. I'm going to get rid of some things I don't use anymore and make some cash to pay off some bills in the process.

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

I pretty much never get rid of any games, even ones I don't like.

rawkr said over 2 years ago

@EarthboundX You keep the ones you don't like? That's just silly. Stop it with the jokes man, I'm dying over here :P

Reiaze said over 2 years ago

@EarthboundX Well, I may keep FFVII since it is one of my favorites, but I'm not that attached to any of the others in my sell box. FF Chronicles especially. I've always hated that one simply because it was a terrible port of two awesome games.

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

@rawkr Well I'm a collector, I don't get rid of anything.
@Reiaze Yeah, those had to be the worst ports I've ever seen. How the hell they got 2mb games, on 700mb discs to be that laggy with those load times, I have no idea.

DarthOdium said over 2 years ago

LOL! Nice I see you're doing the same thing. Since GamerDNA doesn't record what we play anymore it's just easier to do a weekly event log.

Reiaze said over 2 years ago

@DarthOdium Yeah, it would be so much easier to guilt myself into writing something if gDNA was still posting empty entries haha

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

@Reiaze I used to write much longer game entries for what I played that day. Then I noticed they'd get maybe 2 views. So now I write a couple sentences or less.

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

And keep in mind, I'm still the highest followed user on GamerDNA, if I get maybe 2 views, I can't imagine if anyone gets any.

Reiaze said over 2 years ago

@EarthboundX I used to write in hopes others would read it, and I still do to a point, but now it's more for myself. I have fun writing it and usually have a laugh or two when I read it again later.

rawkr said over 2 years ago

@Reiaze On that note, check out my Red Dead Redemption gameplay! I feel like an asshole if I nudge anyone about it, but those of you playing it or who have played it might find some of it amusing. there are still a few activities waiting to be added though, I am lazy in that regard. it's is the first game where I actually took notes as I played.

DarthOdium said over 2 years ago

@Reiaze That's usually why I write. If I had fun during a game and felt like talking about it, and if someone reads it. Awesome! If not, no lose on my part. Also I like doing it since I'm not the strongest writer out so I like practicing.

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

@Reiaze Me as well, I pretty much just write game entries for me, as a reminder kinda.

rawkr said over 2 years ago

I'm backed up. I don't write them all, and Red Dead took so much time I am playing catch-up.

dhaikage said over 2 years ago

@EarthboundX FFVII is no longer valuable. The price plummeted when it hit PSN. Scarcity = value and now...

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

Well new copies are selling for over 100 bucks on Amazon.

rawkr said over 2 years ago

@dhaikage Yes for those content to have a digital copy, the ten bucks they charge on PSN is enough. But there are always the collectors who have more money than logic, and they will spend more than necessary to get a physical copy of the original game.

EarthboundX said over 2 years ago

I got lucky, I got a copy for 3 bucks, back when I worked at Goodwill.

rawkr said over 2 years ago

But I will grant you that it did drop a bit. The lowest I saw was 30 bucks for the black label, and the highest being around 60. Green label was around a buck.

rawkr said over 2 years ago

I bought another copy when the PSone was on its way out. Then my black label copy up and disappeared. That sucked. But I still bought it when it came out on PSN. Hopefully they will get the hint and remake it for PS3.

Reiaze said over 2 years ago

I stumbled upon this copy of VII (my second, a black label) at the grocery store I used to work at for $7 new. I have never played a complete game through with this copy. I wanted to preserve it though because when I was checking it to sell I found all three discs in D-Skins. Same story for IX, but it's a green label.

Reiaze said over 2 years ago

Proofreading is my friend. I meant to say "I must have wanted to preserve..."
