HarpingOn

This weekend I shal play:

Bioshock 2 (PS3)

This is getting much eaier with Cyclone 3 and Insect 3. Traptastic :-)

I think I'm finally enjoying it, now that I'm not resource challenged
quite so much. Infinite EVE and Health helps a lot too.

Radiant (Android)

Will this ever end! It's good though, so I don't much care. Just working
through levelling all my weapons.

Everlands (Android)

This is so good. I don't think it's quite Android's Angry Birds (though
that is coming), but it's super duper hextile animal saving action.

And that will likely be that.

Apart from some Carcassonne and WWF.

(Just a note to Doodle Jump fans that I didn't put in my Android thread
- Doodle Jump on Android is expensive and rubbish)

I might start this, maybe. Only on 360.

Also:

Operation Flashpoint: Um, Dragon Rising? (360) - Fiver from Play. Played the
first mission. Worst tutorial I've seen in a while. Graphics seemingly
deliberately sapped of anything approaching colour. Brain-meltingly
complicated interface. Didn't know what I was doing. Tried to pick up some
ammo, ended up changing my guns. I think one of my men was injured because
he was yellow, but I couldn't find him to help. Ended up getting in a truck
and running some people over. That seemed to win the mission for me. Right.
I had a lot of fun, but I doubt it's the fun I was meant to be having.

Trenches (iPhone) - Played it through on Easy when it came out, which took
about twenty minutes. Had loads of updates since then, so went to have a
look. Much improved now and playing the campaign on Medium is a real
challenge. (For me, anyway.)

And other iPhone stuff, no doubt.

PMG Poker (maybe) & Bad Company 2

Not sure how many of us will be online this evening but I am happy to try a
Poker game at 9pm otherwise I will be playing Bad Company 2 from 8pm

Android Marketplace (Sony X10)
I will be having fun with my new phone playing lots of Android games

Carcassonne, Words & Chess with Friends
Just got slaughtered by dekay & came last in the 5 player ugvm game
So I need to put in some good performances on this to improve.

I'm pretty good at Words but Chess it proving a toughter challenge but Nils
is teaching me well

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP) - Spent the week knocking off the last
few boss fights in order to unlock the seven-star offline quests. Tried to
take on one of the coloured Rathalos wyverns and felt that the game was
taunting me over insufficient armour options. I'm likely to spend the
weekend backtracking into well-explored areas to grind for parts.

Monster Hunter Tri (Wii) - If I have time. I've fallen behind online, and
I'm not likely to have the same play schedule as my usual partners in
crime anyway. I'm more likely to try for some progress offline, as the
story is just now picking up.

MySQL debugging - Hooray for relational database troubleshooting tools.
Boo for Oracle's messy buyout of Sun. I'm not a hundred percent sure it's
safe to upgrade to 5.1.49, and apparently neither are most existing
corporate customers of Sun. There's no way this ends well, and especially
not for the independent, personal web pages I do this work for.

Moving (RL) - A dear friend has outgrown his house now that his first
child is a year old. I'm spending a good part of Saturday hauling
cardboard boxes around town.

Now it's clicked, I'm finding it fantastic. Even if I did buy a Switch
Axe which was supposedly more powerful than my Great Sword (by some 120
points) but clearly isn't. Anyway, I will be playing this.

iPhone stuff (iPhone)
As usual.

The number is a little misleading because the switch axe is so much
heavier than the other weapons, so you end up being able to make fewer
hits on any one monster. Have you gotten far enough to unlock the
longsword yet? That's a melee weapon that lives up to its billing.

Bowguns have always suited my style of play, even for monsters that should
be confronted head-on with a bladed weapon. I'm a little disappointed in
the way bowguns are handled in Tri, because in previous games they were
just single units and didn't have to be stitched together from separate
parts. Even so, I'm digging around for an argument to steer you towards
them.

Bayonetta, just arrived, if I've time.
Wii games, since my sister is visiting.
Probably some multiplayer Donkey Konga with the 1-yr olds.

I have no idea how bowguns work, and don't like the thought of having to
make ammo and have different armour and stuff.

Currently 7th in the Goozex queue. I wonder if your flame will last
long enough so that we can play online...
