Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (PSP)

I was planning on playing this all evening yesterday, but OutRun got in the way. I did manage to do one story level before bed, though. It's been a very long time since I last played and I need to spend some time going through my team, to see who I've got.

I so, so wish you could remove story characters from your team. I've got ones I'm never going to use hogging spaces in my list and it's very annoying indeed.

OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast (PSP)

Two years on and it's still a stupid name for a game. However, it's also still a great game. I put it on for a quick go before playing the main evening feast, Disgaea, and ended up playing for most of the evening. Still can't do the SP 15-stage continuous route, but that's just because I'm rubbish. I tried that a few times, tried to impress Clarissa and failed, did some Time Trials, etc. There's just so much game here.

Call of Duty 4 (360)

More online play. Saw a couple of friends online for a little bit, but I mainly played randoms. (And made good use of the Mute button.) It was great fun, even though I was a bit rubbish, and I got up to level six. I only need eleven more kills with my AK47 to unlock a red dot laser sight, which I guess might be nice.

Call of Duty 4 (360)

Last night was the weekly BETEO vs UGVM match, which this week was Call of Duty 4. I had a couple of goes at Free-For-All with strangers before the match and got slaughtered horribly. And then got slaughtered horribly when we started playing Team Deathmatch. I was on the UGVM side to make up numbers and it seems that the BETEO players are much, much better. After they killed us a few times we just decided to completely mix the teams up, which worked a lot better and made for some very close games.

I was awful, though. Just kept dying over and over again. Except for one map that was just lots of corridors and small rooms. I had a shotgun in that one and managed to kill eight people. Pretty cool.

Great fun, but I really need some practice.

World of Warcraft (PC/Mac)

You know you've set a buyout price too low for your auction when someone grabs it before your six feet away from the auction house. Bother. I guess that staff I just sold for eighteen gold could have gone for a lot more if I'd priced it correctly. It's all guesswork, though.

Anyway, I'm happy, because after two days of looking for Jailer Eston I finally found and killed him. Hoorah.

Civilization Revolution (360)

Hooray! Third time lucky on King difficulty!

I managed to get an Economic victory as the Zulu, three turns before Japan's space ship was due to reach Alpha Centauri. I was completely surrounded and down to only two cities, but I managed to hold on for the win. Epic stuff.

Civilization Revolution (360)

Upped the difficulty to King. Ouch. The French and I fought each other for millennia, with no real advantage on either side and then the Egyptians launched a spaceship and won.

Civilization Revolution (360)

Started a game as the Spanish. Aimed for a domination victory, but the Russians and Japanese were way too strong and I ended up having to go for a cultural victory instead.

Metal Gear Soild: Portable Ops (PSP)

Ah, excellent, you can go to the hospital, beat nurses unconscious and then keep them prisoner until they agree to work for you...

...what?

Rogue poisons quest - finished! Hooray!

Also, I desecrated another bonfire.
