Terraria patch 1.1, Cave Story 3d and GBA games

Well! Hello again!

A bit has happened since my last post, I saw Puss in Boots with a friend and I went to a friend's Christmas party and got a couple of games. Puss in Boots was a good movie, I quite enjoyed it. The music was good and it had the same sort of jokes as the ones in Shrek.

Now game wise. I said in my previous post that I would talk about something Terraria related. Well, I'm not going to. Instead I'm going to tell you about my cat. Just kidding. The Terraria patch 1.1 came out recently which added four new armour sets, four new bosses and a whole lot of other content. The first boss out of the new bosses is relatively easy. It's called The Wall of Flesh and is summoned in hell by sacrificing your guide by throwing a Guide Voodoo doll into lava. This causes the Wall of Flesh to come from the nearest edge of the world. The first time I fought this boss with a friend we failed because the platform we had made in hell wasn't long enough.

Now, when you beat the boss it drops a Pwnhammer (which enables you to break demon alters to get cobalt, mythril and adamantite ore in your world) and other awesome goodies and it also turns your world into hard mode which gives you access to a lot of awesome stuff.

I have beaten all the new bosses which are The Twins, The Destroyer and Skeletron Prime. The Twins are a set of eyes, one spits out fire and the other shoots lasers. I learned from trial and error that you should kill the one that spits fire first and then the one that shoots lasers. The second boss, The Destroyer is basically a more powerful version of The Eater of worlds except instead of pieces of its body breaking up into mini destroyers like the eater of worlds, when a piece of the body breaks it sends out a little sphere that shoots lasers like destroyer itself.

Now the last boss Skeletron Prime is a lot like Skeletron except it has four arms instead of two. Two of the arms are ranged and two are melee. One of the ranged arms shoots lasers and the other shoots out bombs. did I mention that all the bosses like to fire lasers at you? They really like there lasers and I have to admit lasers are pretty cool. PEW! PEW! PEW!

Right enough about Terraria for now. As the title explains, I got Cave Story 3D and ten GBA games. The ten GBA games are Wario Land 4, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Yoshi's Island, Metroid Fusion, F-Zero Maximum Velocity, Kirby and the magic mirror, Mario Kart Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, WarioWare Inc and Mario vs. Donkey Kong. I quite like the Fire Emblem game and Wario Land 4 is awesome as well as Metroid Fusion. I haven't played much of them but I will get around to completing them at some point but Nintendo chose a good selection of GBA games.

Now last but not least Cave Story 3D! I got it last Thursday and completed it a couple days ago. In commemoration of the feat I have decided to create a new section of my blog entirely for game reviews where I can rant about games all I want but there will probably be a few spoilers so don't read them unless you have completed the games or don't mind having them spoiled.

Well enough ranting for now. If I don't post again until after Christmas then Merry Christmas!
