2007.01.29 Import
I bought five software at Gamestop.com. Gamestop.com is an online shopping center in US.

Recently, I get addict playing TV games in English. I used to buy games at a store in Japan. Several days ago, I happened to see Amazon.com and found prices of games I bought were cheaper than ones I bought. For example, I bought Nancy Drew "Danger by Design" at almost 4000 yen but its price is 20 dollers at Amazon.com. I wonder ship fee is 1000 yen.

I was looking for another online shopping site because we can not buy PC games at Amazon.com. And I went to Gamestop.com. In Gamestop.com, international fee is 25 dollers for Japan up to 75 dollers, and then 5 dollers for 50 dollers. Then, I bought five games whose price was 110 dollers and international fee was 25 dollers.

These five game's title are

Nancy Drew #15 The Creature of Kapu Cave (20 $)
Murder on the Orient Express ( 30 $)
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 3 Dimensions of Murder (20$)
Arthur and the Invisibles (20 $)
Barrow Hill (20$)

Now I started Murder on the Orient Express. Agatha Christie's famous novel.
2007.01.22 New game
I started a new game Dreamfall "The Longest Journey". This is an adventure and role playing game.

I bought this game at Steam. Steam is an online download service. To buy softs originally sold in US spends high cost in Japan. But using this online service spends cheaper than buying at the local store.

I played Dreamfall several hours and it was very fun. The graphics is beautiful and the sound is good. Also, it is good for learning English.

This is an entrance of a museam in Japan in a future.

2007.01.17 Completed!
I finished all campaign in single mode in Warcraft III. It took 2,30 hours. The more I played, the more I knew the game and it was easy to complete last missions.

I can't believe myself why I completed all remain missions in Orc's campaign and started Nightelf's campaign. I began to play Warcraft III from eleven in the night and forgot to see watch and then I heard my sister waking. I saw the clock. It was six oclock. Ahhhhh. I slept as soon as possible and was sleep in a few hours.
I finished Undead's campaign and started Orc's campaign. The Warchief Thrall made his people moved to the unknown world Kalimidor. Because he believed the Oracle. Thrall explored Kalimidor and a brademaster Grom had to establish their bases. In the chapter four, Grom has to gather 15000 woods. It was difficult because there was a gold mine near the start point but this gold mine had only about 10000 golds, and Nightelves attacked frequently. I failed many times. I managed to clear this round. The key point was to kill all monsters which made trouble for goblins. Then I had two robots which got lumbers faster than peons(200 vs 10). Finally, my units were almost terminated by nightelves but finished 15000 woods. I started the chapter five and in five minutes my all units were destroyed by Nightelf's vast army. The picture at the bottom is at the morment. How I can defend from such vast army?

I tried custom game. I lost all games. After ten or twenty minutes passed since start, my units was often terminated. This means I can't win the game. I used Human race because I knew this race better than other and opponent was Orc. I searched useful information on the web and found Planet of Warcraft. I saw through this site and learned some strategies. And then, getting back the game, I didn't lost my units when twenty mintues passed. I felt I may be win the game. But my gold mine was collapsed and I was not able to get gold. Therefore, units was not able to be created. When several mintues passed, opponent's unit attacked my town and my town and unit was destroyed. The strongest class other than Hero in Human race is Knight. In battle, our knights were spelled by opponent's magic and they were not able to move. I realise despell magic must be learned. In Human race, Priest learns despell magic. I want to win the game. I'll continue until I win.
I finished human campaign and started undead campaign. In this game, there are four power: Human, Orc, Undead, Night Elf. I understand this game more than before. I feel it is easy.

I happened to know this game in
http://enjoo.com/rakugo/pasokon/gamer_wc3.html and I become to want to buy it. Sanyutei Enjyo says campaign in single play is something like no good Fainal Fantasy. I don't agree with him. It is interesting. He says a game in single play is very enthuasic. I didn't find a game in single play. I'll try it.
2007.01.01 Warcraft III
I play Warcraft III. This game is RTS(Real Time Simulation) adding fantasy RPG taste. In single play, we try to clear campaign one by one. I have not played a game like this until now and it is interesting and fascinating. I don't understand this game clearly. I was not able to clear chapter five. Charpter five(March of the Scourge) begins with the comment "Early the next morning, Arthas and Jaina approach the village of Hearthglen...". Undead warriors come to the village. Quest is that defend the village until Uther's units arrive(acutually this is 30 minites). In fact, I lost all my army about until twenty five minutes passed. How can I defend by the time?
