How much lateral digging did you do? I didn't want to send the drones out so far they'd start getting hungry and tired and just spend all their time running back and forth.
I pretty much went to most every spot there might be a dungeon under and dug down (to ensure I wasn't digging into water), rather than tunneling all over. Since there isn't any way to stop a flood once started. My peeps had plenty of other crap to do, stuff to collect and so on, plus don't forget to mine iron by putting Mines down on it so it continuously produces. And you'll get a lot of Spiderite as well. |

What constitutes a spot there might be a dungeon? I don't understand mining, either.
As I said, I checked the wiki, but it pretty much sucks.

Any place that you haven't explored, more or less. The dungeon segments I discovered were in fairly large discreet chunks.
So just pick a blank spot on the dungeon level, go up to ground level and dig down. You'll eventually find the segment with the Spider Queen in it.

Finished Assassin's Creed : Revelations a bit ago.
I enjoyed my time in the game, once I got about 5 hours in. Did not like the "Desmond Matrix" levels or the overemphasis on bombs, but enjoyed the incremental changes and the epilogue to Ezio's and Altair's stories.

Picked up Tales of Graces F today after a glowing review from my boss. Loving it so far, although my standard "fuck these English VAs" applies. There's already some DLC on the PSN for it, including some that feel like cheats: increased XP, increased gold drops, etc. I might buy them because they're only like $2 and I've somehow got cash in my PSN account already, just to reduce time spent grinding. The costume DLCs are a must have as well, particularly for the girls.  |

From what I've been told, a lot of Namco's (I've been playing so much TF2 lately that I keep wanting to type "Manco", which is probably not a coincidence) DLC for the Tales series are a lot of costumes and that kind of cheaty "skip all the grind" stuff. Not sure if the actual grind is bad enough to make them tempting or not, though.

Went back to Dark Souls, entered Blighttown. Not as horrible as everyone screamed, but I was Readytm with the Spider shield and the Pyro suit. Thankfully those dart-shooting fuckers do not respawn or else it would be as hard as all the people say.

I'd put swtor on hold to play ME3. God, such a terrible ending. Not picking swtor back up till 1.2. So I've started Uncharted 3, alternating with some Dragon Nest.

Playing ME3 when I get the chance (all this talk about the bad ending is making me nervous), but am probably not more than 6 hours into it.
Playing more and more Skyrim. Have re-rolled a Nord who was going to be a dual-weiling, armor wearing buffoon, but have ended up leveling a bunch of Destruction magic too. I never play a mage in any kind of game (like, almost never), so this is new for me. Never made it too far in this game, so still have loads in front of me. I can see myself playing this game on and off for years.

Pretty much only playing WoW, and have been for the past 6 or so weeks. I know, it's sad. But I haven't played for a year, so it's interesting again for the time being....

My main games right now are LoL and Football Manager 2012. I think I'm putting my Skyrim play on hold for the moment, because it looks like one of those games I can easily come back to and I want to get some time with the shitton of games I bought over Christmas. And I'm really digging LoL. If I don't play it once I day, I miss it hard.
I did try out Star Wars Old Republic over the free trial weekend. I made an Imperial Agent with an Errol Flynn stache, made it midway through the first quest, hit level 2 and was so bored I decided to go play guitar instead.

I'm 68 hours into Skyrim. Finished the main quest, Companions quest, and the Stormcloak rebellion. I've done a bunch of Daedra stuff, and now I'm doing the Mages quests.

Kingdom of Amalur and Borderlands. KoA still surprises me how much fun I'm having with it. 40+ into the game (which is a LOT for me lately) and maybe 1/3 of the way through it.
Borderlands is so much more fun as a multiplayer game, but I have gotten used to the MMO group loot rules and we don't know what to do at first without them.

I actually am enjoying KoA more than Skyrim. I think technically Skyrim is the better game, but I just enjoy playing KoA more.

Trying to decide if I want the new SSX to be what I'm currently playing or not. I can't decide. I know it won't be as good as my favorite one (Tricky) but ...

Life heaps misery on me. LoL is near unplayable tonight due to lag. Guess it's back to SWTOR and/or reading.

Battlefield 3 was 50% off so I bought it (already demeaned myself by buying ME3). Spent until 2:30AM playing the multiplayer.

I was recently trying to patch/play TERA, but just now gave up completely on ever trying TERA, and vented a huge post onto their forums. I'm going to go back to little 40 minute intervals of Skyrim, or maybe another beta, and forget I ever heard about TERA or EnMasse Entertainment. |

Ye gods, the Tricky. So many hours spent... I know, right? I spent a ridiculous amount of time with that stupid game. I've only played it a little bit so far but it's pretty good. The default control scheme is totally different than what it was before (uses analog stick to perform moves) though you can switch back to the old style button/trigger move controls. |

Baldur's Gate. Never played it or BG2 before. No time like the present to fix that.

FF13-2
How is this? I played maybe 20 minutes of FF13. Wasn't really into it, especially after I heard that you don't get a full party until like a billion hours in. (I still have a sealed PS3 copy lulz) I played the demo of FFXIII-2 and liked it quite a bit. It's probably the only demo I've played to completion in the past 6 months or so. I generally like games where you sort of manage the situation rather than directly controlling it, which is what the battle feels like. |

It's a pretty big improvement over FF13. I beat it like a week ago. The demo is pretty representative of the game. The story is pretty bad, but par for the course for Square these days. The gameplay however is pretty solid. I'd say it's one of the best games they put out in the last decade, and probably the best music they've made for a game in at least 15 years. It does however feel more like a mix of kingdom hearts and the shin megami tensai games though, than final fantasy.
edit: Oh, the ending is pretty bad and includes the words "to be continued", but it's still better than what Mass Effect did. Just be warned that it doesn't come to a complete resolution.

The mechanics of FFXIII were pretty good in general. It had one of the better combat models for the series. The game itself was a total drag. I may have to pick up FFXIII-2 when it's cheap.
Just playing LoL right now and pondering buying ME3 on PC. I do have a nice stack of barely played games on PS3..
