    Saving on the Wii appears to be automatic once you beat a level. Or go back to the Firehouse I would imagine... I haven't tried quitting a level in the middle of it. I was so engrossed in the game I played for 4 hours straight and I think I'm almost at the end of the story line. Still need to nab a lot of art pages and scans with the PKE meter though. Even if I do beat it I'm not dissapointed in how short it is, I'm on the medium difficulty setting, next time through I might try the hardest one see if that changes things. :D  Totally addictive game damn it.

    According to the game manual once they turn to crystals they are gone for good, so once they die you have 3 turns to finish the level or you will lose them forever.

    Also it seems you party members can pretty much just get up and fuck off if they wish at any time also. If their bravery is low, they will run away thus leaving your gang forever and on the other side if their faith is too high they will "find" god and leave your party forever too.

    Why is forever so final? :cry

    Played yet MORE Hearts of Iron 2. It's late 1942 and France, Finland, Belgium, Persia, India, Burma, China, the UK, Spain, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark and Norway have fallen. South Africa is being pressed hard by Soviet forces, Germany is massing for a strike across the Atlantic and Japan has overrun most of the Pacific, pushing the USA back to Hawaii and threatening Australia and New Zealand.

    Started Mass Effect again due to a game-ending bug. Annoying, but damn the game is still pretty good second time around. Need to finish it this time.

    @ Twin Twist: Mass Effect is verily awesome. I finished it multiple times. :p 



    Anyway, playing Saints Row and Burnout Paradise.

    Saints Row: Completed all story missions.

    Burnout Paradise: Completed all 15 Big Surf Island events. Now for the rest of the regular stuff and Road Rules.

    Mass Effect 2 needs less grindtacular achievements and some kind of status check menu. See how far you are along certain achievements.

    Started playing FFXII again. Such a great RPG. It really is quite relaxing to play an RPG where you're NOT plagued with random encounters every 10 seconds. Last one I played was Golden Sun(both carts), and the random encounter rate had a tendency to get crazy at times.

    Anyway, just finished Draklor Laboratory and I'm now concentrating on getting caught up with the hunting side quest. Didn't do this the first time I played this game and I think I missed out on some goodies, mainly the stuff you can jack from Gilgamesh.

    Taking a break from Prototype & Ghostbusters to try out 2008's Prince of Persia. Target had it on clearance marked down to just under 15 bucks so I figured "what the hell."


    SO far it s pretty good.

    Team Fortress 2- Finished my Sniper achievements, practiced ace Pyro and started on the Spy achievement pack.

    Left 4 Dead- Been horsing around with friends after the L4D2 hype got us bad. Still don't like Versus mode that much.

    Bomberman DS- Slowly getting done with the fire world (8 I think?).

    Mario Kart Wii/Smash Bros Brawl- Played these with some friends to waste time today.

    Halo- Beat 3/4's of the game in one sitting on Heroic with a friend. Classic.

    Magic the Gathering: Duel of the Planeswalkers

    Flawed but fun. Managed to pretty much finish it in just one day.

    So carried on with Gunstar Heroes and finished it, yet I some how missed an achievement for killing a boss even though I finished the game and got that achievement for doing so :(

    Mass Erect: Had to start again. Re-rolled my soldier Shepherd, she's blonde now rather than a redhead. Just hit the Citadel and am recruiting dudes to come help me. Game is awesome but I need so much more time to play.

    Street Fighter IV: Playing Championship matches, not as many as I would like, but I seem to have either improved a lot or the competition has spread out, but I have been schooling people with 2-3 times my GP pretty convincingly. Perhaps they just don't meet many 'rog's online.
