Took just 3 days and I'm finished with Reach. Hooray. Now on to the review.
Gameplay: Very similar, of course, to any other style of Halo game, with the exception of 2 missions being half flight. The multiplayer is solid, although I still don't care very much for firefight. The actual campaign is much harder than anything before, which is welcome after ODST and 3 being cakewalks. The only problem I have is, to ramp the difficulty up, they would just stick a bunch of harder enemies in. The add
Ridley: 100(give or take a few thousand, I lost count)
Little Brother: 0
On the other hand, this has lent it's way to some great gender stereotype commentary that I wish I could upload but I can't cause I don't have any sort of video game recorder. Owell.

K so blah blah blah, those of you who saw the diary of Other M are probably pretty familiar with what this is. Anyways, it's just me chronicling what I do(or don't do) in the first runs of games, this time Reach.
Also yes I have it yay. No I haven't gotten to fly my spaceship(Sabre) yet.
Day 1: Not so long opening cutscene compared to Other M, the opening one is the one in the trailers where Noble Six gets introduced to the rest of his new team. Anyways, after being sent to investigate a g
And then Reach is here.
(not counting, of course, the days that I have to wait until the weekend to actually get the game)
LET THE GENDER CHANGING EPICNESS THAT IS NOBLE SIX BEGIN.

And....it's over. The latest Metroid is completed by me(save post credit stuff). I don't feel like updating the "diary" thing I had going, cause the end was just such an emotional roller coaster(yes, I'm a loser for getting sucked into a video game like that). Anyways, here's my opinion on the game.
Story: Definitely not lacking in story at all. And that's a problem. Samus' character gets really overused in this story, which comes as a nasty surprise if you haven't read the manga. I won't com
Woke up this morning, can't hear anything out of my left ear. Figured I'd tell you all about it since I don't have anything else to write about currently.

Happy birthday best...um...friend...that's a Toa of White Fire
Maybe someone WILL ACTUALLY WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON THE BLOG POST THIS TIME.
But I won't judge.
-MT
Well, I decided to (sorta) keep a record of what I do in the new Metroid that I've been playing. I'll probably update this weekly, since I'm busy during most weekdays. I may even do this for Reach too, depending on how well this goes.
Day 1:
Saw the opening cutscene for the 10 millionth time. Passed the test stage with little difficulty(and yes, I am just going to sit there when something grabs me, as I have no good counterattack moves yet). More cutscenes and landing aboard the "Bottle S
Silly me, I forgot that you need MAPS for this game to work. And since we don't have any...well...that's a problem.
I can get around to doing them later, but if anyone is willing to help, here's the descriptions of the planets that need them.
(please try to follow this legend)
Spherus Magnus
Due to Mata Nui’s restoration of Spherus Magnus, the planet was changed from a desert to a dry and fertile land. Some of that still remains today, although most of it is gone due to the New A

I...can....almost....REACH it......
(Bad pun is bad)
Anyways, only 9 more days(plus however long it takes me to go to Gamestop) until I get to FLAH my SABOR.
-MT
So I was at a Gamestop today, and I noticed at the checkout counter they had a Reach alarm clock of sorts(it was in a display case with a bunch of Spartan figures on top) that was counting down the days(only 10) to the new Halo. I forgot to take a picture of it with my cell phone, so I was wondering if anyone had seen something like it and new where it was available for purchase.

Congratulations(I guess?) to Dakama, who recently went to Brickfair on the BZP Bandwagon of sorts. As it is, he made the list on one of the articles.
Bad news is, BZP admins can't spell. Oh well.
-MT
Well, the finished RPG is almost done. All that's left is mapping some planets(and solar systems), and then it's off to send it in for competition. Except it in no later than September 6th.
-MT
Recently(or not, I'm bad at checking my own websites) Mr. Matoro announced that he has some sort of story(most likely a comedy) called "On the Run," in progress. Release dates or anything else is unknown.
In other related news, I have no idea when the Zehvor epic(s) is supposed to release. How many people are writing one again?
-MT
As the deadline for contest entry draws within 20 days, it's time to finish putting on the finishing touches that help finish the finished product of the finished RPG. With that said, here's a look at the bosses, or the NPC enemies, that made it into the game.
(and before you say anything, yes, I know, it's an RPG, and that's why EVERY enemy isn't a NPC)
In no particular order:
Mete
Skidak
An Omega Turtle
Ihr
4 Mask
Nightmare
Tackon
Most of these are TBTTRAH related enemies/frien
Well, we've been needing to drop a bombshell of info for a while...so here we go.
Firstly, upgrades will appear in this game, as originally planned. Though not for you(or not yet). They will be for your ship, and will consist of doing several things such as boosting firepower, missiles, and other good stuff. I have yet to finalize how that will really work out in a RPG without it becoming like a WoW thing, but I have a few ideas that I'll test over the next few months.
Secondly, Ihr is gon
