Las Vegas 2009 (part 5)

Previous

We went to the largest electronics store I've ever been to. Bigger than BestBuy.

Fry's Electronics. They don't exist where I live. We always have to go just to browse their monstrous movie sections. Their anime section is rather large too. But damn anime is way too expensive. I almost bought Howl's Moving Castle, though.

My dad bought some porn there. TMI, Dad, TMI. And I bought Avalon Code on the DS. I've posted about this game. It had so much potential, but it's made of so much fail. My brother bought the Ghostbusters game and Unreal Tournament III. And my mom got the Monty Python's Flying Circus boxset lol.

That night we walked on the strip. We passed through the Luxor and Excalibur; we don't really care to gamble here. We avoided New York, New York completely. It's very noisy and dark in there.

We went into the MGM Grand just to look at the lions.



Lazy as always~

There were actually people inside with the lions. Researchers, I guess. Wouldn't you love to get paid a bucketload of money to watch the lions sleep tonight?

We skipped past M&Ms world and went to look at half-price tickets. We want to see a show this year. Mom kinda wants to see the Fab Four or one of the two Rat Pack shows. I don't really care to see either of these. But they didn't have any tickets for these shows and Mom was still undecided so we skipped it.

The Monte Carlo's entrance was all Christmas-y. There are big golden ornaments on their fountain. We stayed there some years ago. It was nice but the walls are thin. You can hear the plumbing all the time making it hard to sleep.



Once we got hungry we went to the Orleans for dinner. This casino is themed after Mardi Gras, obviously.


Picture taken from here.

My parents simply love this place. We used to always stay here, but a few years ago they "remodeled" the swimming pool and now it only goes 3ft deep. What. So we don't stay there. Plus, it's far off the strip so you have to drive or use the shuttle to go anywhere. But, uhh, we've been driving everywhere pretty much anyway.

There are some really creepy masks hung up around the place. The Orleans also has a movie theater, and arcade, and a bowling alley; I remember utilizing all of these entertainment venues in the past.

As for their French Market Buffet. It's great for the price, and this is coming from a cheapskate lol. They have mochaca, which is some sort of shredded beef that's spicy but awesome. Needless to say, we were all stuffed afterward.



But the night is still young in Sin City ... Man I'm never going to finish this series.

X-COM: Apocalypse - Game Editors

Previous --- Index So you're getting frustrated by all the agents you've lost to the brainsuckers. Or maybe the enemy UFOs are way too powerful and keep destroying your hovercars in one hit. Don't feel bad for resorting to game editors. I did. Here's a little guide on how to fix yourself up using a couple of game editors. Midnight Editor The first editor I'm introducing is Midnight Editor, made by Marcin Wichary. You can download it and some other tools here: http://www.devisraad.com/xcom/apoc.htm Open the editor, click the "Savedgames" tab, and load up your game (it must be a save in the Cityscape). This editor is very easy to use. The "Bases/Buildings" tab allows you to finish all buildings being built with one button, and allows you to change the cost of buildings. You can also easily modify your cash on hand. In the "Vehicles in Stock" tab you can change the price of vehicles at the store and how many are

Baldur's Gate 003

Previous We return to the map south of the Friendly Arm Inn to hunt the ogre that stole all those belts. We found it easily enough. It aggro'd Soma, who I moved back so he could start shooting. Then, when everyone else mobbed the ogre, it got kinda stunlocked in the trees and went down without a fight. It was very anticlimactic. I was almost hoping for Xzar to get whacked since he ran into melee range. Alas. I really thought someone was going to die. Ogres hit like a truck and could easily one-shot any of our level 1 party.  Anyway, the Ogre had two unidentified belts to bring back to the quest giver. But instead of going right back to the Friendly Arm, we explore the rest of this map, and run into these clowns. Jaheira:  There is no surrender for carrion like these. Caravan Bandit Leader:  Have ta kill ya now. Nothin' personal, ya understand? [Video - Bandit Fight ] I recommend watching for Xzar's reaction. Rest in pieces, Montaron. When a character dies, all of their it
