The Legend of Zelda (NES) - I have now completed both Quests with all items. I am really happy with this, as I have never beat the NES version

I think its about time to tick the "Mastered" radio button on Backloggery, my friend.

Finished up the Mass Effect Trilogy with my beloved, getting pretty much everything possible w/ a paragon in each game, saw all four endings, VERY happy overall.  Felt the endings were well constructed, cathartic, and most importantly consistent with the themes developed in the game universe.  Also concluded that I pretty much completely disagree with the negative critiques I've read concerning ME3 endings. 

Playing Cod:MW3 campaign now during my biking workouts, and some WipeOut 2048 on the Vita.  Stuck on a certain race on this one.  Very fun, and since no 1st/3rd person games on the Vita support southpaw, its pretty much the only thing besides pinball I can play on the thing besides some fighters that I already own console versions of.

Love and I are going through Binary Domain next.

Finished Zoda's Revenge: Startropics II (NES) last night

Now playing the insane Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) 

A man after my own tastes! Enjoy TMNT, its one of my favs.

I maxed out the levels of five of my Skylanders figures.

I'm also going through several levels I've already completed so I can grab all the achievements and challenges I missed the first time 'round.

Been playing more Xenoblade Chronicles and I have to say, it just keeps getting better.  At first, the average localization was hard to overlook and the visuals aren't as good as most PS2 games, but as I get further into it, the issues are overshadowed by everything that the game does well.

EXCELLENT JRPG.  If you are a fan of the genre, you probably already own it, but if it slipped through the cracks, I HIGHLY recommend picking it up.  It is a Gamestop exclusive so that is the only place you can (normally) get it new if that matters to you.

Clarify last section - Technodrome?

[Deafens Proner]

Yes, the Technodrome... sorry, guys

[Izret101]

Finished ilomilo WP much shorter and easier than the XBLA version.

Also finished Pictionary Ultimate edition. My 120th game completion this year.

Started working on the new Full House Poker achievements. 2/3 done. Have around 5k more hands to play to knock out the final achievement and complete this game... again.

Working on the Udraw Marvel game. Will probably finish it sunday or the begining of next week when i go back to my fathers. Nearly all of my 360 games are there...

Started Pro Pool Online 3 on the phone. It isn't as good as i had hoped but it could be much much worse. I had never played Snooker before so that was strange the first time. Maybe it will grow on me... Then again maybe not. I assume like 8ball/9ball pool it would be more fun IRL.

Side note. Has anyone else ever played Bumper Pool? The only place i have ever seen a table was at a local Boys & Girls club when i was a kid.

Do everything you can to make sure you have Donatello with as much health as possible for the final fight, he makes Shredder super easy. Watch a video so that you know where to go and dont have to waste time and health exploring the multiple routes in the Technodrome. Load up 2-3 characters with Scrolls (3 stars and boomerangs will work too, but the scrolls are the best) in the Van level by re-entering the same building. Save enough scrolls for the final corridor in the Technodrome with all the flying, laser shooting space men. If the space men get behind you (you can duck under several of them so they fly over you until the path gets too narrow) keep moving until they are out of the screen so they dont fly back to bother you. Make sure to swap turtles so that you keep Donatello healthy for that last showdown (or if you've got enough scrolls left you can just use those on Shredder too).

Hope that helps a bit!

My sister came up and was talking trash about her Tetris and Dr. Mario skills so I had to put her in her place. Brought my NES over to my parents and we had a little friendly competition. I had a pretty good Tetris run and scored over 150k! She was shy by about 100,000 points. And Dr. Mario wasnt even close

TMNT Update: Shredder is a little bit annoying/hard/a pain in the ass in this game, but I did it! I finished this game

Thats awesome!! Its definitely got its flaws, but its one of my favorite games on the system. What do you think about it now that you've experienced it in its entirety?
