About a month or so ago, I was at my friend's place and we decided to play We Love Katamari 2-player mode. Not only have I never played 2-player mode but it's probably been like a year since I've played the game at all. So I keep getting schooled by my friend. But after about 3 or 4 times in a row of getting beat, the King of the Cosmos, in his standard condescening attitude, will make your Katamari bigger as a form of automatic handicap. It was funny but a bit sad, especially since I still kept losing for like another 10 rounds after that.

Yesterday, I spent two in-day games doing nothing but drinking soda. So unless someone wants to come to my house and get the insane high scores on Banana Fling and Nut Shots, I think I'm done. Though I've thought about starting a new game just so I can play up to winter and do some snowball fights and driveway shoveling.

Just so you know, Complete Mayhem is the final story mission. Afterwards, the Yearbook photos should be easy to get because everyone's cool with you now. Plus you get Gary's picture automatically after beating that mission, since he doesn't walk around like everyone else. It'll be a lot easier than what I did, which was try to get all the pictures before beating the game. Usually involved getting my ass kicked because I would try to get pics of jocks' faces as they charged for me.

I dusted off GH1 today for the hell of it, and also to psyche me up for GH2, when I had a magical moment. I was playing Bark At The Moon on Easy (yeah, I suck) and I had a great moment where my fingers were moving and I didn't know what I was doing, yet I was hitting everything right. Sadly, it only lasted for about 5 seconds and then ruined everything. But it was nice while it lasted.

Seriously, I'd say there were between 5 and 10 missions that took me two tries. There was only one mission that took me forever (the Greaser boss) but that was because it took me five tries before I finally figured out what I was supposed to do and about 3 more tries to do it without getting killed in a minute.

There are 5 Go-Kart races at the Carnival. But when you beat those, that opens up 3 more city races. I don't know if the Red Ninja suit does anything. I never even tried on the Green one. But I do know that the Black one makes you practically invisible to authority figures, even in the daytime, outside of doing something major like hitting someone. Basically, you can Trespass and Break Curfew without getting in trouble. Consumo only took me about 2 or 3 tries but the high-score winning try took me like 5-10 minutes. Or at least seemed like it. And as far as I know, I don't know if you can do any tricks on the skateboard aside from spinning. You can usually do a 360 spin if you're going fast enough and hold the jump button down. You can get a 540 if you jump over the stairs leading to the football field, maybe a 720 if you do it fast enough.

Reading timmay's post reminded me of something: can you turn off the Stamina system like in '06? At first, I thought it was a pretty neat feature but after a while when I just wanted to beat some ass with my friends, it just got annoying.

I had today off so I basically just ran around and punched prefects until I went into detention repeatedly and did that enough times to get the prison outfit. Then I went and bought all the clothes, draining my money from close to $3000 to around $500. Yesterday I found the last rubber band and today I found my last G&G card. So I have like 97% of the game complete. I think all I need for 100% is to get the high scores on Nut Shots and Monkey Fling and drink a shitload of pop. Considering you need to have drank 500 and bought 100 and I think I've drank 85 and bought 50 and considering I suck at both those games, I think I'm done now. Dochappy, I'd suggest holding off on the Carnival until you pass all 5 levels of Photography class. Once you pass level 5, you get double tickets. So basically, I just did the strongman game every time for an easy 6 tickets everytime.

I liked using the mouse's scroll button for the sniper rifle in that mission where you're in the helicopter and you have to shoot the people on the roof. I would laugh at people who played it on PS2 and complained how hard it was.

Bully's kinda bumming me out right now. I beat it in a little over a week and that with me taking my time. Right now I'm trying to find all the rubber bands and G&G cards, only needing two of each. The thing is I've found them all by wandering around so checking out a FAQ won't do me any good since I don't exactly know where I found everything. So I've been running around every possible inch of the map for the past couple days and not finding anything. The only good thing a FAQ has done for me right now is telling me where the last garden gnome is (on the boat at the docks in Townie...Town, you have to hit it with your slingshot to break it). PS - My favorite thing a character says is during a fight, someone yells out "Figure Four Leglock!"
