The gaming diary

[modest9797]

Between working, eating, and sleeping, I've been draining hours and hours into Burnout Paradise.  Its SOOOOO good.

I remember the time I beat Burnout Revenge.  That was the only game I played the entire wek, beating every single challange.

Played some more GTA: San Andreas.

Today's like the 4th anniversary of that game...

I've been playing a good amount of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Quake II (yes, Quake II) lately.

Nah, I just looked it up and the release date was Oct 26, 2004.

It's still a great game, in my opinion.

Sadly no gaming for me over the Thanksgiving holiday.

However, to my surprise I did find out that my cousin in New York did some voice work on Grand Theft Auto IV. I checked the credits in the back of the manual when I got home and sure enough, there was his name, AJ Allen. He did some of the voices on the in-game radio commercials (which makes sense since he works for Sirius satellite radio...or whatever they're called now) and some of the city bystanders voices as well.

Oooh, it must be weird to hear him in-game now that you know it.

^It will be when I get back to playing GTA4.

Got the new Chrono Trigger DS recently, been enjoying that. The DS version looks very crisp and the graphics really pop, and having the interface on the bottom screen so the top is free of clutter is a nice touch.

From what i heard they changed some of the script from the original Chrono Trigger to the DS version.

Anyways still playing Drill Spirits.

Ah close enough


And Left 4 Dead

I played/watched some Left 4 Dead 2 nights ago. Was good, and kinda creepy. You'll be standing there, then WHAM! 100 zombies just run at you.

Yeah, they did, but not really in a bad way, just not a necessary way. For example, a lot of item names are different for some reason, like a Tonic is now a Potion. Maybe the changes are more accurate than the old translation? Not sure really.

Yeah, you were only a month off.

Time seems to fly by so quickly when realising a fairly new game like San Andreas is already 4 years old.

I believe some of the changes where to keep it closer to what the names would be in the original japanese version.
Tonic and potion are more or less synonyms anyways.

You are correct about that.
