Current Quests: Week of 11/25/2007
We return once more to the consoles and disc drives of our staffers, each one more staffier than the staffer before them. You can almost feel your brain cells dying when you try to deconstruct that sentence. Well, I can, anyway. I can feel mine, I mean, not yours. That would actually be kind of creepy, albeit impressive. But anyway…
Fearless leader and bold pilgrim of justice Derek “Roku” Cavin is, as always, trying to do about twenty things at once. Fortunately, finishing the ridiculously huge Rune Factory is one of them; a proper review is forthcoming. Never one to rest on his laurels, he’s got his sights on Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker next.
Spaceship captain impersonator Jerry “XeroZohar” Swain is all about the musical genre this week, having given up chasing after the dragon through the magical forest to power through Guitar Hero 3. Not to be outdone, Rock Band ensnared him and several of his pals for a release party. How he managed to squeeze in Mega Man X: Command Mission is beyond me.
Star witness Cortney “Alethea” Stone continues on her epic journey through THE WOOOOOOORLD OF TOMORROOOOOOOOOOOW! in Mass Effect. Yes, that’s a Futurama reference. Don’t ask, I hear it associated with ME a lot. Anyway, apart from that, her Mithra persona began poking around the latest Final Fantasy XI expansion, Wings of the Goddess. She was reportedly assisted by a good-looking Hume singing that Huey Lewis song from “Back to the Future.”
Professional amateur Michael “Slayer of God” Kozinko has finished his romp through Digital Devil Saga, and has since turned his considerable gaming appetite upon Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. At last report he’s up to Chapter 3, which will mean more to me once I pick this up myself, but enough about me. So far, the distinguished gentleman appears to be having a ball with it.
The scene-stealing Michael “The Other Michael” Beckett, sometimes known as CactuarJoe, has been busying himself with Disgaea. He’s close to finishing it, but keeps getting delayed because the Prinnies remind him of those creepy Bud Ice commercials with the penguins. He assures me that Front Mission is right around the corner once he’s finished with them.
Area resident Jason “Ishmael” Schreier has allowed his obsessive-compulsive tendencies to get the better of him, attempting to get all 120 stars in Mario Galaxy. A noble effort, to be sure. Legend has it he’s attempting to procure a 360, and will, quote, “sell whatever it takes, as much as it takes,” to acquire it. Hey, grab me a copy of Dead Rising while you’re out there!
(I don’t have a 360 either, but that and Mass Effect will likely be enough for me.)
Speaking of myself, my latest review will likely involve Silent Storm: Sentinels, and the myriad number of ways it doesn’t improve on its predecessor. But apart from marveling at how well the PC version of Gears of War works on my computer, I still have .Hack//GU part 3 to finish up. And that assumes a certain redheaded Mithra and I can find where we stashed the DeLorean. Oh, hey that guy looks like dad used to 30 years ago! Hey dad! It’s me, your son from the future!
Colonel: Karlinn, you can’t do that! You’ll create a time parado-
