I did another level in Duke Nukem 3D, getting me to the secret level in the first episode. I don’t really feel compelled to play it for long periods of time at a stretch though, for some reason (perhaps the nostalgia just isn’t as strong with this one), so I’ll probably continue doing just one or two levels at a time.

I also played a bit more Rock Band 2, finally starting on the instrument challenges and unlocking a handful of them, and doing a couple more random sets in tour mode, since I still need some 230+ stars to unlock the Endless Setlist 2. I’ve started trying to play on Hard with the bass when possible; I’m only scoring three and four stars on the songs so far, but I’m not failing yet, at least.

And I completed a few more chapters in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: EoT, doing a bunch more jobs, including rescues and deliveries this time. There was also a minigame where I had to identify pokemon by their footprints, which was frustrating a bit at first since there’s not much to go on besides vague clues like if it’s chicken-like (look for a bird-type pokemon), or really wide (look for a fat one), etc., but after a couple of restarts I managed to get them all right. I can also recruit other pokemon now, usually when they have a sudden change of heart after beating them up in a dungeon, and I’ve got a handful of others now.

Plot-wise, time has stopped in some forest because the “time gear” (?) was stolen, though we can’t go there yet. I was assigned to explore a waterfall that turned out to have a trap in it, met a rival group of “meanies” named Team Skull, and soon we’ll all be off on an expedition to somewhere.
