I am back!

You beat Megaman. Twice. Don't give me that.

OOOOO you got me there. I never played a Castlevania game before yet I played just about every Megaman game, so for me Megaman got priority over Castlevania.

Castlevania shall be something to do for the next two months when I'm not mapling.

And that's why you should buy a PSP.

Fuck PSPs. They don't have early enough good games to justify me getting one.

That Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf thing is freaky. In a demented sort of way. >_> Here I am in Taiwan, dwadling away my time with just my GBASP. >:[ I broke my freaking R button while playing through MMZ4 on Hard mode.

Argoyle and Ugoyle were also pretty easy. I just Giga Crushed whenever possible, and instead of using ZX's spin slash (I'd seen enough of that with the Rolling Chip in MMZ4) I just targeted both with the Homing Shot and prayed that they would hit their weak points. For Albert Form 1 (Dammit, it makes me feel weird everytime I type my own name) I would just use Chrono's Time thing and then just slash with ZX and refresh everytime the Time thing ran out.

And what the hell are the level victories for in ZX? I never figured that out... >_>

I don't get why do people use Chronoforce's Time Stop when you have to be a sitting duck until you slow down time.

Level victories in ZX are where you kill a Pseudoroid without every hitting it's weakspot. The logical reason is that hitting the weakspot damages the Biometal, and in that game the amount of weapon energy you get for each Biometal form is linked with how little you attack the weakpoint. For example, a level 4 victory gives me 16 units of weapon energy for said Biometal form. Two Pseudoroids per Biometal form = 32 units of weapon energy. You CAN increase the weapon energy of a damaged Biometal form by taking it to Guardian HQ and pay ECs to repair it, but you don't get a nice little plushie of the Pseudoroid for killing it like a ninja. If getting a nigh perfect game is easily doable in a game, I go for perfection.

It's nice to see you back! Sounds like you had an interesting trip.



Please do share some of those pictures with us.

As I said, I'll try to write up a huge journal of my trip when I get the time. It was rather interesting indeed. For example, during my stay in Tai Shan me and a dozen other family memers had to climb up a forested mountain because some of my ancestors were buried up there. The terrain sucked, because there wasn't really any clear paths. That means you need someone with a machete in the front to clear the way. The slopes were annoying steep, and it didn't help I needed to watch out for spider webs. You think your puny house spiders are dangerous? These pineappleing things are the size of a medium apple. Here's a kicker, two of the people going up with us were carrying a whole barbecued PIG up the mountain with nothing more than a bamboo pole over their shoulders and some rope tying up the pig. How do you think they felt?
