Pokemon Diamond (DS)
May 23rd
Just a quick go to do a trade with my wife and get my trendy saying for the day. And check the GTS. And plant some berries. And do a quick bit of levelling up of my new guy.
Test Drive Unlimited (PSP)
May 22nd
This is now starting to get tricky. Either that or I’m just rubbish tonight.

Well, that’s all eight gym badges obtained.
I’m not ready for Victory Road yet, though, so I’m going to have to level up a bit. I might change my team round a bit, too. My Medicham is far less useful than I thought she’d be.

Team Galactic are defeated!
The trek up Mount Coronet was awful, with random encounters every two steps. (I think caves might be worse at night, because the last bit this morning was much quieter.) Then Team Galactic’s boss very, very nearly wiped me out, but I just about won and got the chance to fight the legendary Pokemon Dialga, who in a somewhat anticlimatic battle I managed to catch in the first round with a Quick Ball.

No new gyms today. I’ve just been wandering around getting experience and waiting for an egg to hatch. Not overly interesting, but it took up about three hours of my life.
Crackdown (360)
May 19th
After Halo, we decided to play some Crackdown. Polished of Los Meurtos, then killed all the Volk. Only the Shai Gen left, then I’ll have done all the bosses in co-op.
Nice.
Halo 3 Beta (360)
May 19th
Played a few more ranked games of Slayer and did very badly. Then tried out the team matches, but we only seemed to play Team Slayer. Everything else got veteod by the other people in the game. I didn’t do very well at all, but I did get to see the fabled third beta map, Valhalla.
Then a friend of mine came online and we played some unranked games of Slayer together. I did better there, but didn’t win anything.
Test Drive Unlimited Demo (360)
May 19th
The handling really isn’t as annoying as I remember it. I think I might have been playing with assists off when I had the full game, which was a bit silly. Good enough fun to play for the full hour of the demo, which is a good sign. Lots of other drivers whizzing around, too, though nobody was doing the formal races.
Anyway, I’ve ordered a stupidly cheap copy from Play to replace the one I foolishly traded in, which I hope should be here in time for me to play during the recovery period after my upcoming operation. Fingers crossed.

Forty hours in now. This evening I beat the sixth gym, finally. I only needed to use one Pokemon in the end. Now I’ve battled my way to Snowpoint City and I’m going to see if there’s anything that’s good against Ice type that’s not fire.
Halo 3 Beta (360)
May 17th
I just won a game! Yes, a real game. I got up to 25 kills in Slayer on High Ground before anyone else. (The nearest person was on 22.) That’s probably never going to happen again, so I’ll let myself feel some fleeting glory.
