So, what're you playing?

[MisterNoisy]

Currently playing the crap out of Sleeping Dogs, and I'm happy that Square rescued this game when ActiBlizz cancelled it.  Great Arkham-Asylum style melee combat, lots of collectibles and decent plot (so far) and voice acting.  The high-res texture pack is totally worth the extra 4GB download for PC players, too.

Finally finished the base storyline on Batman:AC, so am hanging it up.

The combination of "use this gimmack ONLY here" (freeze grenades and grapple, I'm looking at you) and the console-itis really frustrated me on this one.  I don't remember the first one being such a chore to plow through...?  In its defense, though, the combat (especially blocks/counters) seemed to flow much better.

This was sort of how I felt too.  The game play was fun enough that I finished the entire game, but so much of the story line and writing was terrible that I just stopped playing as soon as I finished it.

Same. I suspended playing it a while back because I got really tired of the "now do this, now do that". Don't build an open world/sandbox architecture and then populate it with Dragon's Lair combat mechanics, even if the combat flow is indeed better in general. Also just didn't feel like the writing worked at all compared to the tighter narrative of the first game.

[Rendakor]

I picked up Legasista after seeing it demoed at Otakon, and I'm loving it so far. It plays like the older Zelda titles, but with NISA's trademark quirky Japanese humor.

Dragon's Lair combat mechanics

That was quite it, thanks.

And I pumped $15 into that machine just to learn the tentacle room and chessboard...

[Sjofn]

Finished the main campaign in Tropico 4, next up is the expansion, I guess! It still annoys me that the radio people insist I am a dude when my avatar is clearly a lady. If you're too cheap to record two versions, how about not referring to my gender.

[Ingmar]

SWTOR, Dota2, a touch of Mann vs. Machine, and probably a little GW2 this weekend.

Also I am preparing to UTTERLY CRUSH Ruvaldt's humans in the Masters Saturday. WE MUST SCORE TOUCHDOWNS.

[Zetor]

In the last month or so, I played through Dragon Age for the first time... yeah yeah, I know. I also made a lot of shit explode in Saints Row 3, and got the Orb of Thralni in Avernum: Escape of the Pit (aka the remake of the remake of the sorta-remake of Exile). Also prepared my characters (and helped some guildies with theirs) for MOP in WOW.

I foresee a whole lot of GW2 in my future, eventually interspersed with some pandas.

You sir, are a god among men.

DOTA2 and TSW (pondering on whether to 100% clear Savage coast or head to Blue Mountain.

[Bunk]

Finished VTM:B - such an awesome game, despite its faults. Really want to pick up Secret World, but I can't justify paying for the client now, when I'm hitting PAX next week. Never know what I might pick up there.

[Hawkbit]

Gamestop has the DL of TSW for $25 right now, just fyi.  I suspect it will be normally $20 by xmas though.  It's a fun game, but I simply like GW2 more.

[Signe]

I'm still playing Saint's Row 3 and Hellgate now and then.  I want to play Torchlight 2 but I can't because they won't release it.  I've had it on pre-order for decades.  It still says "summer 2012".  Summer is almost done.  I'm becoming nervous and disoriented.  And Borderlands 2.  Why does time go so slow?  I thought it was supposed to keep slipping, slipping, slipping into the future!!  The counter has said 20-some days now for about a year!  I'm not kidding.  Srsly. 

Fuck you, Mr. Steve Miller.  Fuck you and your lardy ass eagle.

play VTM again as Malkavian.

As for me, im playing Spec Ops: The Line - Horrid generic third-person shooter. They try to sell the story but the game is just not fun enough.
It's not the usual America save the world cliche - I get what they're aiming at, but the game wasn't very fun. What a waste.

[Xanthippe]

Minecraft. Still. (Cancelled TSW when I realized Minecraft is all I want to play).

Only now, I've been seduced into the world of Mods (as well as playing on the F13 server and MrB's).

The Millenaire mod creates villages into a single player minecraft world with 4 different civilizations - Norman, Japanese, Mayan and Indian. I can gain reputation (or lose it) with each of them by bringing them things they use to build their villages, and watch their villages grow.

This appeals to the worker bee in me, since my minecraft building skills are almost nil.

I'm hoping to get them all to love me so that I can then make them all hate each other and maybe have a huge war (although I'm not sure that's possible!).

I may then use the Weather/Tornado mod to destroy everything! Muahahahaha.

It's kinda like the Sims only with Minecraft.

[HaemishM]

I've given up on LA Noire. I so wanted to like this game, and there's a lot to like, but all the disparate pieces do not hang together well at all. The overall story is nonsensical, the individual cases often just make NO GODDAMN SENSE and the dialog system is TERRIBAD. Why are you admitting to the crime on the second question when you just denied it to the rafters in the first question? Chewbacca is from ENDOR. DERP.

Learning towards Fallout: New Vegas for my next big game to play in between Leauge of Legends matches and The Secret World. Though I could just as easily start another round of Football Manager 2012, Saints Row 3 or Just Cause 2.

[Ingmar]

It gets especially incoherent at the end!

[Sjofn]

Played a bunch of Mann versus Machine today. I feel like I should branch out from the medic, but I'm a-skeered. I hate being the failure!

[koro]

If neither my girlfriend nor I end up playing Medic, the MvM pugs we're on tend to not ever have one, and I'm the only one of the two of us with a Kritzkrieg.

I like Medic, but sheesh.

[Yegolev]

It's worth beating because I believe there are some bonuses for importing your save file from Infamous into Infamous 2; the final boss really was much harder than the rest of the game.

Ah, shit, I have to do it now.

After the 1.04 patch, Diablo was easy-peasy-livin-greasy to beat.

Chewbacca is from ENDOR. DERP.

GW2, Minecraft. My already strained gaming time is even more strained. I mostly hop on when the old lady is playing song pop so I can help her with hard rock. Keep trying to talk her into buying (not RMT, because lol) metal because some punk bitch keeps sending her animated movie themes and other crap, bitch has kids. She only knows maybe two people who can keep up on hard rock, and I think they just memorized which snippets were which.

[Yegolev]

Borderlands (360) and Fez.  Had to start over with Fez because the boy hijacked my game.

Also, too much fucking Minecraft.  Luckily someone texted me pictures of my main bedroom submerged in lava, described as "a grease fire", which I can use to avoid playing for a bit.

Family board game is Ticket to Ride.  Connect cities with trains, what's not to like?

Started listening to SomaFM, in particular to Spacestation.

Was reading Book of Five Rings a week ago but haven't finished for some reason.  Also was reading The Prince, which is dry.  Now I am reading The Hobbit to my son at bedtime, time permitting.  Just got to the part where
I'm keeping my distance from GW2 for now.  Too much else going on at the moment, plus http://www.zupidoo.com/clock/borderlands-2

I can't hold my breath that long.  I don't know why I love this game so much, but I do.  Maybe it's because it was the only game I seemed to be able to play when my head assploded (or asphodel, as Mr. Spellchecker would have you believe - also, Yegolev, you are Togolese)  Everything else kept my interest for seconds, not even minutes)  I can now game for up to two hours straight before I need a break!  Yay me!  And I have no interest in trying to beat that.  I'm happy playing less and enjoying it more.  Luckily, my next booboo operation is on my knee and I don't need that for Borderlands 2!   

[Yegolev]

I personally like the numbers that fly out of things when I shoot them.  I will speculate that doing violence to midgets is a plus.  Bonus for violent decapitations.  I have managed to get about a 47 in Eridian weaponry, and that's fun.  There is very little to fix for the sequel (talking to YOU BLIZZARD), and I am optimistic.

[Chimpy]

GW2 when I have time (which is about a half hour a day).

[Fabricated]

Wow, Spec Ops: The Line is about as much of a mindfuck as people say it is. The game is literally trolling the shit out of you with its bland-as-hell gameplay. Or it accidentally turned out that way.

[lesion]

Giving Diaspora: BSG Font with a Subtitle a whirl. It's fun, but not too fun. Like if Freespace 2 had less customization options and was set in the BSG universe. Wait. Wait.

[MisterNoisy]

Lots of Space Pirates and Zombies.  I've had this game for months, and only seriously sat down with it just recently and man, this is a giant time killer - love it to death. 

Also took a bit of time to play through To the Moon, and damn that game has a fantastic story and writing - the best I've seen in years.  I'd recommend it without hesitation to anyone with a few bucks to spare and about 3 hours of free time.

[Sky]

GW2, dammit.

[murdoc]

GW2 as much as possible. I haven't had a game grab me like this in a LONG time. Spent saturday with a buddy dying over and over and laughing our asses off in what we called the 'Dark Souls' dungeon. The reward for completing it was miniscule and it took us a LONG time to fight through it, but it was the first time in a long time that I played an MMO purely for the enjoyment of it, and not for XP or rewards.

[Rasix]

GW2, dammit.

Yah, I'll be hooked until next Tuesday at least.  The time goes by so fast playing this game.  I'll look up and it's time to go to bed.

[Lucas]

I'm playing.................Holy Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4 Batman!!!!!  (with a 1991 season mod!!!)    

(BIG pictures, 1920x1200...can you see them?):

[Minvaren]

Nice graphics!

Are you using a gaming wheel, and if so, which one?  Mine is decidedly sub-par...

(goes off to finish up his Path of Neo replay before installing ME3 for the first time)

[Amaron]

I went and picked up IWD on GOG as a warm up for BG:EE next week.  I was mostly going to pick up BG:EE as a show of support.  I forgot how awful it is to try and play at high res though.  Even on my super huge monitor it's just painful.  Now I'm really looking forward to the new interface and high res support.

[Ingmar]

I can't even play the IWDs with widescreen hacks, they both just lag out to a crawl. :/ BG2 works fine, as does Torment.
