Took the plunge on Darkfall's 14 day trial. ~12 hours of playtime into it and I am really digging it. I love that everything I do has a skill attached to advance. Fuck levels 4ever.

Finished the first Army of Two in co-op on the weekend, and last night I finally finished it on the hardest difficulty with the idiot computer partner. (While passive-TV-ing commentaries from The Office). Also ground out some achievements. Not sure if I will bother to do all the online ones.

Also played some Genral Knoxx DLC for Borderlands in co-op. Despite all the praise, the lack of fast travel makes it a bit tedious, since on weeknights we typically want to play for only 30mins-1hr, and it takes 20-30minutes to set up the game and fight our way past the first several long stretches of freeway to the quest area. Which inevitably asks us to go back to the initial quest hub to hand in. So we skip the long travel, quit out, and reappear there the next time we play. I know they want you to use the vehicles, but there's some poor design there.

Stayed up way too late digging down, down, down under my unbuilt tower in Minecraft.  Got tired of putting torches everywhere so I dug a light shaft and am currently spiraling downward around it.  Found something my stone pick could not cut and got way too excited.

Primarily TF2 (Medic learning comp style) and SC2 (recently Terran).
When time permits:
Blazblue: CS (Formerly a 3s player remy/necro/ken, trying to wrap my head around the Arc style.)
LOTRO on Landroval as Minstrel currently. (Did the whole "buy a box cheap for the bonus points when it goes F2P" because of Azazel in that thread and also because the closed beta impressed me with some of the class design and additions. Hadn't tried the game since the original Beta years back.)
MTGO though not much lately.
On again off again relationship with EVE.
Love it to death but it consumes me, most recently with wormhole spreadsheets.

I will NOT play minecraft for fear of my "obsessive" tendencies... at least not yet....... ugh...

Why did I just now sign up?
I guess I've just grown to like the opinions I see around here and have a funny idea I might enjoy playing games with a few people on this board.
My pool of "real life" friends that I used to pal around with in games is rapidly drying up due to "getting older" style life changes... Looking to branch out a bit here.
I work at a drawbridge so I tend to have way too much "game time" on my hands.

Cheers.

Due to some planetary alignment, I stabbed two cougars to death in Red Dead.  Didn't even lose the horse.  If I lose the horse, I reload.  He's a great horse.  Related, Thieves' Landing ate my horse.  I fucking hate that town.

SC2 still and twitching as I try to avoid Minecraft. I'm not all that good at either, I know that, but both are addicting as can be. I'm also tempted to try out EvE again. I hate Endie's recruitment posts, they are far too effective.

I tried FFXI for the first time last night, I won't be trying that again unless I get a controller though. I heard about how awful it was for years but never took the time since I never could stand to finish registering through PlayOnline. Though, I did find out while I was updating last night that FFXIV will give a bonus to anyone with an open FFXI subscription and has a lowered cost for the next few months when FFXIV opens, so it won't be all that bad to keep my XI account open for $7 next month to get some bonuses.

Sometime soon I know I want to finish up my Alien Swarm achievements though. I'm not OCD about achievements, and normally don't like them, but I'm about 80% done with them without trying too much and figure I may as well 100% them. So wtb 3 players for hardcore/insanity difficulty and/or speed runs on normal Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

You'd think that whores would just stop going there to work, too, since they seem to get stabbed or kidnapped at a rate of about 1 per minute there.

With a new job cutting my free time dangerously low, I've decided to pick up something a little more accomodating.  So, it's time to go back to Shadow of the Colossus.  I will admit the retro "review" Yatzee did spurred my interest a little. First time I only did 10 of the colossi, but I've decided to start over. 

I never knew about the lizard thing..

EQ2 Free to Play service. I'm enjoying it, though I can see where the free player restrictions might cause problems later on. I'm throwing in some FIFA 10 here and there when I get the urge. Still need to go back and finish Persona 3 and start Final Fantasy 12.

I'm sort of winding down Starcraft 2 now, I think I got all the enjoyment I could out of it, which was a fair amount to be fair.   I've played Quake Live a bit recently, and its good, and I'm glad its free because I don't think I'd pay to play Quake 3 in a broswer, but its nice when I want it.

Minecraft as well, though I've been spending less time in it due to some instability patches lately.

  I'm looking for something good single player to play through while I wait for Civ 5 at the moment, any suggestions? (something older would be better, because I hate paying full price for games I only intend to play through once, or just play single player in general)

I was thinking something like Baldur's Gate-ish.  I never played Temple of Elemental Evil, for instance, is that worth it?

TOEE is just about a letter perfect implementation of 3.5 D&D combat but it can be pretty tedious and the writing is flat out awful. Arcanum has some pretty interesting ideas but is kind of a mess in general. Troika was kind of the Obsidian of their day, but they had their shit together even less.

I can forgive them for being shitty because of VTM: Bloodlines.  That game is a joy. Too bad we'll never see another.

Not all that different from the previous Versions of Worms from what little I have played it. Wicked fun in multiplayer, but no evolutionary step forward.

LotRO, putzing around and waiting for Volume 3 Book 2 to unleash its awesomeness on my face.
Just Cause 2, wherein I have gotten the 1000m base jump trophy.
Minecraft, wherein I continue to lament the arrival of nighttime.  If you lit your mine with skylights, you'd be irritated as well.
I tried Elemental at least twice but the game held me off with pitchforks.  Guess it's back to FFH2 or Dawn of Discovery if I get that itch.

I am trying to start Resonance of Fate before I have to turn in my weeaboo fanny pack.  Waaaay too many western games in my rotation lately.  I mean, rate-ree.

I have been playing a game.

I'd like to get back into 1404, it's such a nice evolution of the franchise. I blame my 1080p monitor and 40 yr old eyes.

I also have a ridiculous Steam backlog, and a few boxes I got on the cheap from amazon: RE4, Risen and Sacred 2.

How did you get Risen cheap?  I haven't seen it drop much below $40 anywhere that actually has it in stock.

Working on Resonance of Fate still, unlike Yegolev.  About halfway through it I think, and still enjoy it, although it's starting to feel a bit repetitive.
Nearly done with the main story for Dragon Quest 9 finally.  I probably should just stop after I finish it, if I know what's good for me.
Still causing random mayhem in Just Cause 2.
Started up Bioshock, this time only a few years late instead of a decade for a change.  Not really sure how I feel about this game.  I nearly rage quit at
the beginning of the second area (neptune's whatever) due to being completely out of ammo and having mobs respawn on me faster than seemed reasonable.  Got over that, and now comfortably killing big daddies, but it's starting to get old fast.  Around halfway through it now.

Kinda want to start into Mana Khemia 2, but want to wrap up some of the other games first.

Mana Khemia 2, now that's some quality weeaboo.  I started as the girl, maybe you want to try the boy.  It's a very solid Atelier game, but the laughs from the first aren't there right away.  Then again, the emo is entirely missing, so YMMV.  Replaced by nippon-slapstick.

My problem, of course, is that I'm now using a PS3 Slim. Heartbreak
