Today's mission: Finish the first disk of Skies of Arcadia.
I'm in the Dark Rift at the moment, so I think I'm reasonably close.
There is a whole other section after where you are, but after that you will start the second disc. I would say about three more hours of the first disc are left.
As this is a slow SEGA month and I will not be buying new releases, I picked up Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts for $15. It's a beautiful game! I can't wait to get me some flying vehicles.
One of my favorite games this gen! Just like Mang, I think it is better than Tooie. I would just ignore the fans, Rare's fanbase is literally the most whiny I have ever seen in my entire life making even the worst SEGA fans look like saints.
Seriously, Nuts & Bolts has some of the most ingenious design I have seen for letting the player be creative. There is this one mission for instance, where you have to protect a statue, so you can do everything from setting up a bunch of guns around it, just making a big block that covers the whole thing, or just stick the whole statue to the back of a plane and run away! Brilliant!
Try experimenting with creating stuff. I found out fairly late on that if you put wings of a plane on the underside of boats they can act as rudders, for example. MIND=BLOWN.
Once I get online more we need to swap some blueprints... I based all of my designs off of SEGA related stuff. I am betting you will love some of the references!
Awesome game, the vehicle editor is really great.
The only problem I had was making a giant Alex Kidd, he just kept falling over and by the time I had supported him he looked rubbish.
Did you try putting helicopters on the top of him? What about weights on the inside or bottom? A good one would be the force field generator.
As for what I am playing, the Halo Reach beta starts today for the people who have their ODST discs ready, so I will be playing that most of the day if possible.
