The Iceman's Game Journal

After seeing Tim's Game Diary, I started this blog to give me some incentive to actually finish some of the 461+ video games I have (of which I have finished 41.) Hope it works.

Cooking Mama--Grilled Mackerel

Completed the recipe. It was pretty easy, although it too two tries to get 100 points. the first try I took one fish off the grill too soon and only got 75 points. I went back right away and got 100. No new recipes unlocked.

Next up is Curried Pilaf.

Onimusha 2--Defeat Ginghamphatts

This guy was tough. The only place you can damage him is in the front, right where he can hit you. and when he is almost dead, he starts jumping around, which of course makes it so much easier to beat him.

Took some help from Ekei, but I managed to take him down and get a bunch of gold. Then I found a guy close to death. took him back to town, got the super donut (Red Ring, but it looks like a donut) and now it's time to head back into the mines.

I once again beat the Plated Beetle and got the Morph Ball. This time I remembered to save.

Now onto the Magmar Caverns and the Incinerator Drone.

Weekly Challenges--September 10-September 16, 2007

Yeah, I didn't do too great last week. I got three recipes done in Cooking Mama, and I id defeat the Plated Beetle in Metroid Prime, but I forgot to save afterwards, so I guess it doesn't count. As a result, this week's challenges are a repeat of last week.

On to the challenges!

1.) Complete chapter 6 of Super Paper Mario.
2.) Defeat Ginghamphatts in Onimusha 2.
3.) Complete 4 recipes in Cooking Mama.
4.) Defeat Plated Beetle in Metroid Prime.
5.) Defeat Incinerator Drone in Metroid Prime.

Cooking Mama--Instant Ramen

Man, that was tough. Almost as tough as making the real thing.

There was only 1 step! Add hot water and make sure you don't add too much! How was this not one of the recipes that were unlocked at the beginning. You would think something this easy would be the first one you do!

Needless to say, I got 100 points on this one, and I unlocked Soba.

Next up, Grilled Mackerel

Cooking Mama--Pork Saute

Finished Pork Saute. Wasn't too hard. I messed up once while frying it, so I only got 91 points, but that isn't too bad, and it will be easy to redo to get 100.

Next up is Instant Ramen. That should be tough [hopefully the sarcasm doesn't need to be pointed out

Cooking Mama--Pizza

Finished the Pizza. Got 81 points. I had some trouble slicing the Peperoni and the Tomatoes. Also had trouble rolling out the crust.

Unlocked Meat Pie.

Next up, Pork Saute.

Weekly Challenges--September 3-September 9, 2007

Writing month is over and it is once again time to start setting and working on some goals

As you no doubt noticed (since it is a couple of posts below this one) I beat Onimusha last moth, and am moving onto Onimusha 2. I'm going to keep playing Super Paper Mario, with just 3 chapters and both Pits of 100 Trials to bat before the game is done. Cooking Mama stays on the list, and I'm adding Metroid Prime to it.

Now onto the goals!

1.) Complete chapter 6 of Super Paper Mario.
2.) Defeat Ginghamphatts in Onimusha 2.
3.) Complete 4 recipes in Cooking Mama.
4.) Defeat Plated Beetle in Metroid Prime.
5.) Defeat Incinerator Drone in Metroid Prime.
