This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. This is primarily a gaming related site, so what have you accomplished this week? Got a new piece of AF gear in FFXI? Get a killer time in C-Mode? Get into any Betas? Finished a game? Started a new one? Let's hear your gaming stories for this week.

I am going to try and keep this a weekly thing, now who's first?

Thanks Dive!
On the scu front, I finally made it past the two Dark Knights and made my way to Galron's castle in Zelda: Wind Waker. There weren't enough curse words in the world to describe how mad I was dying time and again at the hands of those two guys. Only after I put the game away for two weeks, gathered myself, and pressed some other buttons besides the "attack!" button did I remember that that little guy can jump and dodge and roll and do all kinds of cool stuff. So, now that the Dark Knights are gone, I now have a serious battle ahead of me. I have already died three times trying. The curse words are flying fast and furious once again.
I picked up Tales of Symphonia last night (minus my pre-order art book which I will get on Saturday). I played about 30 - 45 minutes last night. So far, I like it. I didn't read the instructions so I seem to not totally get what I am supposed to do. Two members of my party have already been knocked out twice. But who wants to read when you've got a new game?
Also, I have been playing Halo alot recently. Damn fine game. I am gearing up for part two I guess. Can't wait for that game to come out. I have always prefered the single player FPS with a good story over a deathmatch scenario, and Halo definately has a good story to tell.
