Mo' Brawlin', mo' Gamin'

Brawl screenshot gallery update! Going through classic and all-star with everyone was made much more bearable with wacky screenshot action.

Although Brawl mania is still going strong, I've actually begun to play other games again! Wild Arms 3 in particular. I ended up doing the super magic technique to get 99 Heal Berries, which should make me set for healing for the rest of the game, I hope! Having such limited healing items in Wild Arms games is stressful xD; I hope Wild Arms 5 is a little better in this regard, whenever I finish 3 I guess I'll find out!

Also picked up Rune Factory again for some reason. Considering I'm still playing a little bit of Animal Crossing: Wild World every day, it seems eerily similar to be doing such repetitive tasks over and over! At least with Rune Factory I can abandon the game for months at a time without my town exploding. Also, I'm almost ready to get married in the game :3

Here's a small list of my backlog of doom, most of which is left over from Christmas presents I never played beyond the first hour or so!

-Heroes of Mana
-FF12: Revenant Wings
-DQM Joker (actually played this one quite a bit, I just need to get back into it, I'm not even stuck anywhere or anything!)
-Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations (waaaay behind since the next game is already out, obviously)
-Shining Force EXA (haven't even opened this one yet!)
-Wild Arms 5 (same, haven't opened it, although drool marks are on the box)
-Metroid Prime 3
-Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (currently playing)

... as you can see, most of these are DS games. Between school, Brawl, getting distracted by old games and playing ROMs of them, among other things, I have a lot of catching up to do! I guess it's nice to be able to pick up somewhat "new" games directly from my own shelf and play them rather than having to spend money and go hunting for them, though.

I still want Dragon Quest Swords, dammit. But not until I finish off some of these. At least I'm enjoying all the games I'm playing currently.

I love growing things in Wild ARMs, but also hated the pressure to conserve items until you got to that point. In WA4 you can buy the items from the start, which took a lot of getting used to.

My backlog is getting really out of hand, too. I have no idea where to start!

Yeah, it's hard to decide if using them is a good idea or not in battle, and they're the only thing you can use to heal between battles, so it's a lot of pressure to conserve them as you said. It's not a huge complaint because the game DOES give you a way to get more, but it's nice being able to heal whenever you want XD I'm hoping Wild Arms 5 does have a way to buy healing items if WA4 does, but I won't be terribly disappointed if not.

My motivation stems from needing to finish earlier games in a series to play later ones, but that'll just end up being part of my backlog at some point too, so it seems as if there's no end in sight sometimes XD;

XD you've got some of the most epic screenshots. Gotta love Sonic chasing after Weavile...and yes, Ike and Marth do look good together >3

D: shame I can't comment directly to the pictures, but anyways, it's no joke poor PKMN trainer is gonna need a heck lots of Pokéballs for all them legendaries. Heck I should know; I gave up on Giratina for now -_-;

Finally I picked up playing a bit more PKMN-- training a new Riolu since the other I merely leveled up with EXP Share fast just to get Lucario, but this one I'm trying to train the old fashioned way.

Yeah, I wish the pictures had comments! Maybe I'll consider posting them up somewhere that does, who knows. I just chose the built-in LJ gallery thing for lazynes more than anything XD

I've been tempted to pick up Diamond again and raise a Lucario myself, although actually I have a craving for training up some oldschool favorites of mine like Jolteon and Typhlosion among others... mostly to see them kick ass in PKMN Battle Revolution (which I haven't played in forever, because I haven't played Diamond in forever, etc etc xD)

Actually... I never got Mewtwo in PKMN FireRed, so maybe I'd better start there xD;;;

[flower-miko.livejournal.com]

XD; at least you have FireRed. I've been hanging back on getting LeafGreen for what, more than a year now XP. Well whenever I get my economic boost check I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up a bunch of games to help the economy XD; at least one PS2 game so the poor thing isn't neglected. D: though I won't get the max amount and with games it's gonna go fast.

Well Animal Crossing only needs a few minutes a day, though Sunday I forgot to check it because I was distracted by something. XD; I hope none suddenly decided to move out.

In Wild Arms 5, you won't need that many healing items because your HP is restored after battle. I seem to recall that healing items were hard to get though.
