Monster Hunter 3G Preview

Since school started I haven't had much chances to post here much, sorry.

Monster Hunter 3G is basically MH3 but expanded, with more armour, more weapons, and most importantly, more monsters!
A few screens and monster info has been given which you can check out here. This includes info about a new monster called the Brakidios, who (I think) will be found in the Volcano area.
It's very similar to the Barroth from the original MH3 but its forehead and arms seem to be able to explode after a while, which should be interesting.
The second screenshot in that article (after a picture of the Brakidios) is called the Plesioth, which makes a return from some of the older Monster Hunter games. The Lagiacrus makes a return as well, and the Subspecies addition (recoloured versions of monsters which are usually much tougher) returns, showing the Azure Rathalos. A refurbished Loc Lac is also shown, along with the Moga Village offline hub from Tri.
This looks amazing and I am really, really excited for it. Defo getting it when it comes out here.

Agnaktor gon' DOWN

That's what the big bad critter I beat yesterday looks like.
Seriously, he's just a big, fiery, stronger Lagiacrus on Land and if you've got a good weapon and some good armour (I used the Sharq Attaq lance and full Rathian armour set) he's fairly easy. He's a bit bigger than Lagiacrus generally and has a few new attacks, such as digging into the ground and jumping up into the roof, coming back down and repeat, while trying to hit you. He can also dig into the ground and jump at you repeatedly, and it's hard to block unless you have a full Stamina bar. If you do the "invincible dive" (running back from a large monster and pressing the "roll" button) he'll hit you again when you get back up, so either try to run or hope your stamina doesn't completely deplete while he hits you.
By far his most famous attack, however, is his Fire Beam. He can perform this in two ways: He can just do it while you're fighting him, but he can also dig into the ground, partiall come back up, and perform a 360 fire beam. You can tell when he's going to do it when he raises his head snaps his beak a few times.
Also, I've unlocked the Ceadeus quest! I'm not going to do a guide yet, as it'll probably be a while til' I actually get the weapon I need and beat it.
I actually had a go on the Wii Fit yesterday as well and (thank god) I am a "healthy weight". My brother's actually nearly "underweight". I think it's because of his lack of muscle. But he might just be skinny.
So I'm going to try and follow some other people's blogs to try and get a follower or two back. See you people.

I've defeated Jay Leno!

Sorry for the recent lack of updates again. So yesterday I got round to fighting the Uragaan and I succeeded!
He looks a little like Jay Leno, hence the title of this post.
He's pretty hard but he's stunned easily so if you keep superpounding his chin and genitals he should go down without too much trouble.
I got a Uragaan Jaw as a reward for my efforts which I'm happy with.
I used the Vodyanoy Hammer (upgrade of Ludroth Splashammer) to do the job. His rolls do a LOT of damage and he uses it often so be sure to get and upgrade the best armour you have when you fight him, or bring a weapon that can block.
That's my bit for today then. Bye
