The Shrine

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I am going to finish up the five games I was working on throughout the past 4-5 months: Final Fantasy 10, Baten Kaitos, Final Fantasy III, Illusion of Gaia, and Ogre Battle 64 (been at this one since the summer, I am about 60 hours in now, I am not sure how much further I have to go, but I am making good progress). I have also started a new save in Majora's Mask and Prince of Persia 2 I just got a little while ago and have begun playing, and hopefully if someone remembers how I said I like getting Metroid games as Christmas gifts, I'll be playing Echoes as well =)

Although, by the sounds of it, a lot of you are already done playing Metroid, or a good ways through it. It is a possibility that I might get San Andreas as well, but I likely won't get it until it comes down in price since I am still GTA'd out from Vice City; no point spending 50 bucks for a game that I won't start playing until it's 20 bucks in stores (been there, done that too many times with too many games). I'm going to be on vacation for most of the break, so Terranigma will probably have to wait.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>WoW....non stop....must...dive...back...in....</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>60 yet?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>40</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Final Fantasy X (if and when I get over my spoiler bitterness), Soul Calibur II, Gran Turismo 3, MGS 3 (maybe). Hopefully will get some combination of the following over Christmas: Tekken Tag, Kingdom Hearts, Animal Crossing, Katamari Damacy, Wind Waker. I have 4 years of gaming to catch up on...</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Dragonrealms, Anarchy Online, VtM: Bloodlines.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>San Andreas, Metroid Prime 2, and posibly Half Life 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 when I'm done with those. Of course, all those will take a back seat if I'm not done with them by the time Resident Evil 4 comes out.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm getting a dual-layer DVD burner, so once I clear off 20 GB from my drive (15 of it Naruto :-) I'm going to install Half Life 2. Can't wait to play it. I might get into Viewtiful Joe and KotR 1 once I beat Prime 2 as well</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I still need to finish FFTA, with my mega beefed-up characters early in the game. I was scared off with the idea that I can't get 100% of the items in the game until I get Steal Weapon real early, but then again, I don't want to spend eons trying to build up the explore points to 30. It's also a damn shame that I need a second player to get some of the weapons.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Try Prime 2 :-)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I just recently got a used XBox, solely for the purpose of playing DVDs. (The fact that it plays XBox games is a bonus; also, the fact that I had to buy a goddamn $30 remote was found out after I bought it.) While I would like to play Prime 1/2, I'm not going to spent the money on the GC for them.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I don't think 60 is possible. Isn't it Diablo-like levels?</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Not at all. There's already quite a few people that are level 60 already. Leveling up is fast if you're doing quests as part of the process.</div>

Here's what I'm talking about.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>It's not at all hard to level in WoW.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>questing is not as fast as just grinding. Now you can happne to kill stuff you need to level while grinding but easy to kill stuff don't really overlap with quests well.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>How much was it? Because there are really cheap DVD players now.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Trade in your Xbox for a GC and both games and get a $30 DVD player</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Doh, my mmo buddy got knocked off the list. He's a lvl 53 mage on Lothar now.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>You make it sound like the Diablo games had a steep levelling curve.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Well, gee...it only took several eons to get from 48 to 49, considering only Diablo at nightmare level was giving any XP at that point. Did that one guy even reach level 50?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Guild: For Teh Win. What the fuck?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I bought it for about $80, and only that high because I was helping out a friend.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I think max level in Diablo was level 48... it got pretty steep after about 40.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>What? Are you talking about D1 or D2? D2 has a ton of lvl 99's.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm sure he means D1... D1 goes to either 48 or 50 and it's really hard to get to the level max. So was D2 until expansion came out</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I think that was a common saying on an EQ board somewhere</div>
