So, what're you playing?

1. Huge tits.  Huuuuge.  What the shit?  Minus three points from the Srs RPG Bzns score.

They get smaller after the seeker tells Varric to stop exaggerating.

Honestly, I found that subtly hilarious.

Ah, OK, I wasn't imagining that on the sister, but what about that pirate woman?  Stupid demo, now I'm thinking the bugs are actually features.

Isabella is.. Isabella.  Her armor upgrade is "Rigid Boning".

Once you're able to take the 4 groups of 99 Berserkers, it's really kinda game over.

Hmmm.

Walk away, eat meal, come back, give party orders, walk away, read a book, come back, give party orders...

[Ironwood]

Hell, it's in a window and it's only 4 minutes.  That gives me time to play other things in other windows.

I'm going over my whole childhood, wondering why I wasn't more bored.

[Yegolev]

Need more children?

[Morat20]

Last night my wife and I cracked open Lego Star Wars III.  Expected levels of greatness.  The fun part is that we don't know jack shit about The Clone Wars.

That's out? Yes! Of course, I still need to finish Lego: Batman and Lego: Indiana Jones......

[Ironwood]

I'm glaring at you.  Hard.

Completely addicted to DA2 now. It's much better than the internet would have it. Why was I not informed sooner?!

Hey, I've totally rambled about how I like it! A lot! And I'm on the internet!

Yes, but you like the Sims. Sooooooooo...yeah. 

[tgr]

I thought girls were allowed to like the sims.

[Strazos]

Hey, Medieval Sims had a sweet commercial with Scrubs' Dr. Turk. 

[Paelos]

I thought girls were allowed to like the sims.

Yeah but not srs gmr grls! 

[Sjofn]

Oh now. Feminist srs gamer grrlz complain about how the Boyz Club refuses to acknowledge the Sims as a "real" game, and thus people who play it aren't real gamers. I blame the patriarchy.

Truth be told, I don't know where I fall on the gamer scale. The games I like, I am really crazy for, but I have a really narrow focus a lot of the time. I only recently started actually finishing Bioware RPGs, for example. 

[Paelos]

I still haven't finished Dragon Age 1. Dammit I also get to Denerim and go pffffft.

[Sjofn]

DA:O was the first Bioware RPG I ever finished. All the others I would start like 50 times and then peter out when I reached a water planet. Somehow, even though DA:O has two of these, I managed to get past them.

I played the Mass Effects AFTER DA:O, otherwise ME1 probably would've taken the prize.

Sadly the first RPG of any type I finished was fuckin' Eternal Sonata. Because it somehow made it PERSONAL and BY GOD I WAS GOING TO FINISH THIS GODDAMN FEVER DREAM OF A GAME. I was rewarded with a hilariously shitty ending. 

[kildorn]

Wikipedia spoiled Eternal Sonata years before it even came out.

[Strazos]

Ok, explain water planet please. I get that is a pejorative, but still...

[Sjofn]

In KotOR, there was that water planet where you had those long sections of walking slowly in that stupid suit. I had been feasting upon the game up until that point, but I could go no further, because it was so goddamn tedious. So basically any point in the game that makes me go "GOD THIS IS SO ANNOYING JUST FORGET IT," it is a water planet.

Personal water planets in DA:O = the Fade section and the Deep Roads. One was solved by a mod. The other I get through by thinking about hot elf sex or something.

[Strazos]

Ah, that. 

[Sky]

God created weed for the water planet. So... I'd be unable to finish KotOR these days.

I don't dare go into the DA2 thread before I've beaten the game. I have this reflexive habit of clicking spoiler tags.

[Sjofn]

Ohh, then yeah, you should still stay away until you finish it.

[Yegolev]

Tales From Outer Space... About a Blob (PSN).  Actually, the boy is really playing it hard and that is FANTASTIC because it's got an actual difficulty, unlike Kirby's Epic Yarn which is very easy and cute.  I did have to co-op a boss with him, and it took us several tries.  Also, science jokes.

I'm expecting a batch of Pokemon CCG cards to arrive today.  Yea, my wife and I gave away all of our original-run cards some number years ago, so we're mildly bummed about that.  We managed to determine that my son's friends play this during recess, and I want him to beat their asses.

Any other Xbox live arcade recommendations after Shadow Complex? I've now severly decimated my game backlog and am now a little bit stumped what to play next.

Limbo.  It's only about an evening long, however.

I like Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, but you will need to enjoy Symphony of the Night era Castlevania to enjoy this.

[jakonovski]

Beyond good & evil.

[Rasix]

Ahh yes, the HD version is available now.  Excellent game.

Still digging Divinity 2. Finally found a way to make it crash during a cut-scene! Which is good, the solidity and stability was starting to freak me out. How can a game be any good if it doesn't crash now and again? Level 26 or 28 or something, just did my first respec to clean out some old skill paths I didn't follow. Went for a regenerating dual-wield whirlwind, slotted some gear to really support it well.

One of my new favorite features is rt-clicking items and sending them back to my tower. Other games need to steal this whole idea. No worries about inventory space anymore! To the tower!

[ghost]

On day three of my sabbatical.  I haven't developed the shakes yet.....

[Minvaren]

I'm about 2 missions from endgame on ME2.  Will post in that thread shortly.

[Strazos]

You can romance the Jax as well, or whatever her name is.
