Rebuilding your PS1 games on a PS3

So lately, I've been noticing that old PSX games that I have on disks are on the PSN. The Final Fantasies, Secret of Mana, Harvest Moon, plus other games that I never got time to play. So I went on Amazon and bought my self a PSX-PS3 memory card moving thing, and got all of my data from my old school gomes onto my PS3, soon I am going to start downing digital copy's of my games, since my disks sometimes don't want to play.


The prices are very reasonable: 6$-10$ for each PSX game, the memory moving thing was over priced since you only use it once, but it was a worth while investment, just need to make it past X-mas to see if I get an giftcards and to recover my funds.

Any PS1 game recommends..?

Skyrim..it's Fallout with swords






So finally after what seemed like an eternity of people asking me to play it, questioning me why i wasn't playing it, and questioning my sanity on why I didn't want to play it, I borrowed my brother copy of Skyrim and set out to play.

My character is a dual wielding Imperial, because blocking is stupid, I love dual wielding, and Imperials make it rain coins, but seriously it is easy to get rich in this game. considering how much random shit you can sell that you won't need.

So which side to go with, the Imperials or the Rebels..wait am I in Star Wars now..? Bad guys wearing red..good guys wearing blue..weren't those the light saber colors for good and evil in Star Wars..? Well since I am Sith for life, I went with the Imperials, killed so bitches, swiped some loot, dodged a dragon. I got out of the cave, and found some bandits, which all died..easily, got some more loot and began to sell stuff and accept some quests.

The only major quest I finished was the Golden Claw quest, where I killed some more people, got some more awesome loot, and made my self super rich and began outfitting my self to kick total ass. After the Golden claw I found my self fighting another set of bandits, when I got to there leader, he of course kicked my ass the first time..Then I realized that if I back up, he switches to bow and arrow..rush in and attack..lather and repeat..so he went down easy..A little to easy, anyway onto the next town where I learned more about Smithing and the like..then I turned the game off, mostly because I wanted to play more Mass Effect.

Well I have never played other Elder Scroll games, but I have played Fall Out New Vegas and seriously they are so much alike, hence the titles..In my opinion..But Did I enjoy this game, yes I did..but not 60$ worth of enjoyment, more like 20-30$ of enjoyment, come back to me when it is that cheap.

Voltron, the game



So there is a Voltron game out now. The game is your standard one control stick to move ad the other is to fire at tons of enemies. So nothing really original in that way.

But where my inner kid jumps for joy, is that when you start the game it plays the intro from the show!! And when you pause the announcer says, "voltron will be right back"..then un-pause and he says,"now bck to voltron". Also at the start of mission it plays clips from the show.

So this was a truly great fun down memory way, not sure if i will pick up the full version..

Life of a Rogue Champion in training, part 1 runing,swimming and digging



So I leave the Warden behind, I do not have the patience of dealing with origins combat system to deal with Awakening and Witch Hunt DLC, plus out of the 20 or so points that get transferred over when a import is done i did like 14 of them, so I am fine not doing the rest. So no we go back in time some, to when the Blight was destroying the town of Lothering. This time I am trying to Platinum the game, so I will be making choices I am not used to, and being very very detailed to make sure I find all the tiny miss able crap, then having 2 save files for the 3rd act, one for the trophy..then using both or maybe carry onto Dragon Age 2. This time I think it will b easier given all the DLC item packs I have so I am way buffe rat the beginning and I can save money making everything easier.

Now I love the Rogue in 2 over Origins, they are fater and back stab is a skill and not circling around the a=target, plus you can crit with out being behind them, there is alos the wonder of not having to level up your dual weapon skills, you just learn dual wield and thats it you rock at it. I also enjoy the mages in 2, and dislike warrior across the board, but since I like to dis arm traps..plus crazy speed, I am going to be a rogue. And since I like looking hot while I am saving the city and killing everything that moves, I go with a female Hawke, but the standard like 2nd preset, damn those blue eyes. Plus I choose Rogue because I know which sibling will die..and I fucking hate Carver..I smile everytime the Ogre crushes his spine.

Anyway, I meet up with Aveline and then Flemeth before The Warden killed her, and was sent along my way to Kirkwall, and this is when it starts all going to hell, since my Uncle Douchebag had spent all of our money, so I ally up with some shady characters and get into Kirkwall, while I am slaving away, the Warden saves the world from the blight. Now a tear later..

I run into Varric, and sign up for some crazy mission to go back to the Deep Roads, I despise the Deep Roads the only thing more is the fucking Fade..Now on the quest to get money to g to the Deep Roads to find more money. Along the way I meet a crazy set of friends, since I choose to go with speed and control in my team, my team ended up being Me--Varric---Merrill(favoring thunder magic)-Isabela. Getting money wasn't to hard..and I choose to not take Bethany into the Deep Roads, so she didn't become a Grey Warden..But I did take Anders into the Deep Roads, because the boss there is kinda hard, but I didn't need his help this time...It was easy and I kicked the guys ass..got my riches and lfeft the deep roads..

Next time, Life of a Rogue Champion in training, living the high life

From Feredeln to Kirkwall




So now that I have stopped the Blight, saved the land of Fereleden, had hot lesbian sex with a red headed bard, what am I going to do now..? Write about I become the Champion of Kirkwall, with a complete import save, and how I finally Platinum Dragon Age 2.

Seriously my own complaints with Dragon Age Origins are the combat and the skill build systems, Dragon age 2 did those perfectly, if you take 2's combat and skill system and put them into origins game, it would literally be the perfect game.

So stay tuned for a Life of a Rogue to be Champion in Kirkwall..that title will change.

Life of a Dual Blader in Fereleden part 4, pushing to the end






Now that I am out of Orzammer and at the Landsmeet. SO Now I need to get people on my side to take down Loghain and choose who is really going to rule Fereleden, and oh yah beat the Arch Demon aka Big Fucking Dragon. 

But before I can do that, I went to do Morrigans special quest and kill Flemeth, I switched out Morrigan for Shayle as a tank, then set to work. Well after getting my ass half handed to me, I took Flemeth out, she wasn't as harder as the other High Dragon that I fought, but we know that wasn't the true end of Flemeth.


So I am told that I need to rush to the Arl of Denerim's estate to save Anora aka Loghains Daughter, so I can get her help to win the Landsmeet, or even make her Queen of all the land. While inside the Estate I find prisoners who are some how related to important Senator type people, so that can help get people on my side. Also while in the Estate I run into Arl Howe..the bastard who killed my parents and screwed everything all to hell, so of course I enjoied stabbing him in the heart and setting Anora free. While trying to leave I was caught along with Alistar and thrown into a huge Fort.


Now Leliana and Morrigan lied..bluffed and distracted them selves in to save me and Alistar, then we re arm and fight our way out kinda killing everyone as we do, and back to the Estate. Where we learn of shit going down in the Elven Alienage to find the unrest there.


In the Alienage, I quickly learned it was a total scam from the Tevinter Imperium trying to cure some plague, and it was just about a elven slave trade, so of course I broke that up, and found proof that Loghain was involved in the whole thing, there was also something about an orphanage that was consumed by a rage demon sadly a semi bad ass blind Templar had to die so I could finish that run. Again full of Ammo we go to the landsmeet.

At the Landsmeet I bardged in and was confronted by Loghain, were the whole decision was to be settled on a duel to the finish, f course I choose my self over my friends, after quickly Loghain was easily defeated..Now do I spare him, turn him into a Grey Warden, or just kill the fuck. Well this guy had done everything to try and take me out, and screwed up the whole Kingdom..so death awaited him but I let Alistar  kill him given that Loghain killed Alistars father,  well now I couldn't get Anora on my side as Queen of the whole kindgom, well fuck her she is crazy anyway, so Alistar is now king. Now we march to RedCliff to rally the troops and smash the Blight.

Now during the night a fellow Grey Warden tells us that only a Warden and kill the Arch Demon since the evil of the ArchDemon jumps to the closest thing with Darkspawn blood and then kills it and it's self. Hence why the Warden, so Morrigan purposed an idea so no one had to die, one of the Warden have sex with her to create a baby with darkspawn blood taint, then the Arch Demons mojo will jump to the baby, so I convinced Alistar to sleep with Morrigan and make this baby, WooHoo everyone lives. Now to the final battle!!

Back to Denerim, I choose my team to help me..and to defend the gate, said my goodbyes and ran around Denerim saving people and killing Dark Spawn generals to make my life easier in the final battle. When I reach the Arch Demon, the battle was seriously easy, like I am not joking!!! The damn Circle Of Mage in the Fade shit was harder than the final battle!!! With a final kick ass cut scene the Arch Demon was dead, I wasn't and peace is saved to Fereleden. I said I would go travelng the n probably rebuild the Wardens.

Now Did I play Awakening or Mage hunt..Now I couldn't deal with Origins battle system for 20+ more hours, but I had a completed import file to take to Dragon Age 2, stay tuned for the Life of  a Rogue to be Champion in kirkwall!!!

Life of a Dual Blader in Fereleden part 3, wandering around in a big hole

So back to Orzammar I go, along the way I break Alistar's heart because he was like,"oh your cute" and yah I shot him down to stay with my bard Leliana, so anyway back under ground I go. I switched out Alistar for Shale this time, because mostly of flavor text and being able to find quests later.


So Orzammer is kinda hue and unlike Denerim, which has a jump map to get around, I just get to run around with the Dwarfs, picking up different types of side quests and picking sides in the great dwarf power play between some guy named Harrowmont and Bhelen Aeducan, well I did some looking into  since it had been a while since I played as another character race/background. Bhelen Aeducan is your brother is you Choose the Noble Dwarf starting set up, so I wa slike FUCK THAT CUY and picked Harrowmont right away.

Now after  going through some fighting tourny and running around under ground defeating some mob boss still cartel to make Harrowmont look better, then I was told to go find this Paragon Branka in the Deep Road..fuck me I hate wandering around in the Deep Roads not as bad as the Circle of Magi but still as bad. Mostly because it is FUCKING HUGE!!and I got lost ones or twice.

So this time in the Deep Road everyone had gone crazy, one of the guys I had to find for a quest had gone crazy and not wanted to go back and see his mother. Then I ran into the remains of the Paragon, who was I to find, had gone crazy!! Like chanting poems crazy, one had turned into a "BroodMother" which just pops out dark spawn..big blob tentacle thing.

Then I ran into Caradin who created the Anvil of the Void, and the Paragon Branka who had also gone crazy while looking for the void. Well Branka sent all of her family and solders to die, so yah Caradin was who I I sided with, so I killed crazy Branka. Afterwards I went back to Orzammar and gave this super golden crown to Harrowmont, and then with a lot of joy in my heart I killed Bhelen.

After leaving Orzammar, I went off to Red liff and talked to the Arl, to begin the Landsmeet..
