Yeah, that part was pretty funny. Also, wasn't me. I was the creepy friend at the door.

I'M TOLD I DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE.

Just wanted to emphasize that point. I do not wear glasses, I hadn't shaved in days. I don't actually speak like that. And we didn't bother to move the light rig, and we were losing daylight rapidly at that point in the shoot.

Was still fun though, and it's hilarious to see people crack up while watching the whole thing.

 awesome, for real

Little Big Planet.  Uncle Jalapeno's explosives-riddled levels can bite my ass, but the rest of it is very entertaining.

Fable II.  I don't know what is so addictive about this stupid-ass game.  I am erecting statues of myself which depict me shitting my pants.  I am having unprotected sex with anyone that cares to follow me to a bed, and if the damn buggy-ass bed actually allows me to.  I drank three bottles of wine, three boxes of wine, three beers and one bottle of whiskey in one sitting, then puked twice and noticed I had gone from about 150 pounds to 250 while standing there.  Also, not eating coupled with exercise will not help me lose weight, only eating celery.  Only by eating celery.  I fucked the furniture store owner and I don't get any significant discount.  I really should go back to Infinite Undiscovery.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia... I am told that I can suck glyphs off of enemies as they cast them, which fills my pants with glee, but I have not been able to try it yet.

LotRO, wherein I have reached level 20 and can now play dress-up.

GalCiv II 2.0, wherein I was last playing the Yor Collective and overexpanded in the early game, breaking my economy's spine over the knee of colony upkeep costs.

Fallout 3, wherein I now have 100 in Small Guns.

Dead Rising, wherein I find the story might be completable now that I have the Real Mega Buster.  Although that Jeep full of convicts is still an huge pain.

Left 4 Dead, wherein I died horribly and had great fun doing so.

Nile Online.  Something I can pay attention to for a few minutes every day or two is kind of nice.

LEGO Star Wars: Complete Saga.  Still have not cracked 80%.

Yeah... Somehow that encounter is tougher than most of the other boss fights.  Especially if you are trying to rescue idiot survivors at the same time.  They'll sneak it a hit/stun from the .50 in the first or last frames of the roll/evasion move.  If you don't find a tree you can be chain-stunned.

Fable II and WoW.

Fable II is really fantastic.  I also liked Fable I a great deal, so this is no shock. There's just something to this game.  I'm a scantily clad hussy kicking butt for goodness, and I moonlight as a lumberjack/artist model. I think Molyneaux had it right when he asked for non gamers to try this one out.  It plays a lot, combat and quest wise, as "my first RPG", but the way it brings that in with all of the hidden goodies and depth really creates a captivating package.  Visible bugs are a little annoying, however.

WoW is still WoW. It'll be WoW tomorrow and possibly for a few months.  Interesting diversion, but quality single player experiences will always take precedence.

Just hit level 20 last night in Fallout 3, and finished the main quest in Dragon Quest 4.  Its almost time to start some new games.  I kinda feel bad.  Ive been playing both pretty much exclusively for a month now with only the odd forays into other games.

I have been messing around a little with Reign of Swords on the iPod Touch and its not too shabby but its not mindblowing or anything.  I might put it through its paces this weekend as my portable game.  Either that or the Rainbow Islands remake on the PSP.

I tried to play Fable 2 last night but it kept crashing and corrupting my save files.  Pretty frustrating.  At the moment I'm not sure if it's my 360 or Fable 2.

So, I'll be playing more Fallout 3 which took some warming up to.  I don't think I even would have picked it up had a friend not gifted it to me.

This weekend I made myself "clean my plate" and finish all the games that I stopped playing when I got to the last level. It's a bad habit of mine - I don't want the game to be over yet, so I put it down, then I end up with a stack of games that just have final boss fights awaiting.

I finally finished Okami and Super Paper Mario, but didn't really get around to Folklore. Next time, I guess.

Tank treads are fucking hard to make in LBP.  Actually, even harder than making the treads is getting them linked around the wheels.  Making the damn wheels is pretty hard, too.  I put the treads on the back burner to work on my level idea, and so far it is working well enough without the treads... but I really would like to get them working.  My efforts so far have shown me that I will have to create tools and machines to strap the treads to the wheels and this fills me with geek-glee.

Castlevania: OoE is also very hard in a weird way.  The stage boss is at the beginning of the map and seems easier than just getting through the map.  Still loads of fun if you like a 2D Castlevania.

I played Lurking in Shadows and it was neato.

I updated PixelJunk Monsters, played on Casual and again quit in disgust.

Downloaded Loco Roco: Cocorecho! for the boy.  The controls are far more frustrating than in the previous game.  I want to see the loco rocos all die horribly for being so incompetent.

Also LotRO and Fable II.  These are wife-games and are consuming time I might otherwise spend playing L4D or Dead Space or Fallout 3.  LotRO is at least very fun.

Finally sat down and finished The Witcher.  It was damn solid and when they make the sequel, I'll be there in line.

Wife finally got me to re-sub up for WoW (on the 10 day Burning Crusade trial right now).

Spectromancer (Its basically Astral Masters without Deck Construction and with Achievements nobody cares about, but its good to kill off an hour before bed when I miss the Energy to play anything else)

Dead Space (Hell if I know why I love Survival Horror games when I hate Horror movies)

Fallout 3, exploring all locations I haven't seen yet from a save point right before the last mission (or, as I call it, the thing that will never happen in my nonretarded Fallout continuity)

Lord of the Rings Online (levelling until I can get a a Legendary weapon so that I can ignore the game again).

I played Civilization to death, purchased civ III but never played it.  For the 4 day weekend I purchased civ IV via steam and have played it non stop ever since.  Great game.  I also purchased Titan Quest and the expansion for $9 on steam but haven't played it beyond the first town.  I own the original TQ without the expansion but for $9 steam was the way to go to get the latest.

I got Commander: Europe at War for the Mac at 50% off this weekend.  Its pretty rad.  Turn based hex wargaming.  So far my current game has me as the Axis powers ( in the tutorial start up you play the Axis ) taking out Poland pretty quickly, then declaring war on Denmark.   It was a short war there. When the Italians joined in they started rampaging about north Africa and are on their way to conquering that whole area by their little sucky selves.  Russia declared war on me but I had enough dudes on the border to not only hold out, but in many areas push their poorly trained and equipped forces back with the powers of technology research and superior human rights abuses.  I just took France in 41-42 with a little help from Italy and Romania attacking below Switzerland while Germany assaulted from the north, breaking through to Paris.  Train transport sent most of my armor and infantry over to the Eastern Front while I leave a garrison and my airplanes to deal with England and its pesky airplane harassment.  They are trying to send some landing boats into France but I gots their ass handled.

My verdict is that it is a very fun mass scale wargame and I likes it, even if the sound goes bonkers and stops working if I dare have iTunes going while playing.

I'm almost level 20 in Fallout 3!

I'm getting into a kind of Far Cry mentality with this one, I keep reloading fun areas and playing through them. Last night I was down by the Nuka Cola factory, there's this little town with a coupe Enclave outposts and lots of raiders. I found a way to get onto rooftops, and just kept playing through that area, wiping everything out and then reloading and trying it with different weapons and tactics. Such a fun game.

I'm still looking for Nuka Cola Quantum bottles to finish that quest before I go to complete the game.  I knew I shoulda grabbed all those I saw and just put them in my Megaton house.
But the thought of wandering through 30+ locations just to find glowy bottles seems to be a dumb idea.

Hm. I wasn't on a quest, just exploring. Probably won't be able to do it now because all the Nuka Quantum in the DC Wasteland is going to feed my Mk2 Nuka Grenades habit. BLAM!

There is a quest out in the SW boonies that has getting 30 bottles of the stuff as an optional bit.  I have like 21, but I know there are random bottles here and there.

Same, I've been building Nuka-Grenades left and right.  I'll never be able to do that quest because I've already used a crap load of the quantum floating around.

I'm still annoyed there is no Gauss Rifle (that I've seen) in this version of the game though.

HDTV all up and running now so I fired up DeadSpace last night. Only got 30 mins in before stopping to watch Batman Begins on BluRay but it managed to make me go  DRILLING AND MANLINESS at the purty graphics and then  swamp poop ACK! at the scary monsters!

Think I'm gonna save it for late nights with the lights off, muahaha.

Oh hai, guess what quest I got last night?  Ohhhhh, I see. I wonder if the quest reward would be a Nuka Grenade v.3 schematic, since I found a Nuka Grenade schematic after I had already gotten one and the second one was v.2? Does it work that way for all schematics?

As far as I know, yea. Problem is, by the time you get the 30 bottles to get the scematic, where are you going to find any more to make grenades with?

I found about 20 before I knew about the quest, sold them all, did the quest, then proceeded to find a shitload more. But I'm evil, so I've got access to twice the treasure troves a good person does.

This game is turning out to be so long, I'm not sure I have an evil playthrough in me. I'm planning on a nice sneaky ninja style to counterbalance my goody-gooderton with big guns and bombs. Might have to shelve it for a few months after I finish this playthrough and come back later. Fucking great game, though. Been really enjoying it more than anything since GTA:SA, I think.

Same, my plan is to shelve it for 6 months until just before the DLC Alaska campaign and then do another run.  I played Fallout 2 through 4 times, I probably won't do that now but 2?  Sure, I can see that.

I finished Fallout 3 last night.  As mentioned in the Fallout 3 thread I was less than amused by the ending slideshow that took about 2 minutes.
The reward for the bottles is another schematic?  Glad  decided to skip it.  I don't XBLA Gamer Points whore anyhow.
Who needs it?  By level 10-12 I didn't need any weapons but Chinese Assault Rifle and Combat Shotgun, with Hunting Rifle taken out when repair parts or ammo ran low.  Then Plasma Gun and Chinese Assault Rifle for the endgame.
I used a missile launcher twice, mines 2-3 times at low levels, and a couple early close combat weapon uses.  Never used any heavy weapons or mini nukes.

Now to figure out what becomes my next big home game to play.  Guitar Hero World Tour continues my GH policy of playing it a couple times a month and eventually completing it sometime.
Today I will continue Commander Europe at War which I may finish as the Axis tonight depending on how things go.
So next week I gotta pick my next game.

Right now I am on at least a rest of the month game buying freeze, if not through January.  (A big clearance sale at Fantasy Flight Games netted me about 1000 dollars of AT 43 and Confrontation for about 350.)

Thus its time to properly play some of my existing games.   (Ill include 5 possibles in each category)

I just don't know which.  Start a barely touched or never played game, (Zelda Wii, Silent Hill 3, Blue Dragon, Orange Box, Metal Slug Anthology) take a game I got someways in and quit so long ago I should take it from the top (Lunar Eternal Blue PS1, Wild Arms, Final Fantasy 5, Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter, Rygar PS2), or finish a game I am very far in and hope the time not played won't hurt my ability to complete it. (Final Fantasy X, FF12, Wizardry Tale of the Forsaken Land, Ys the Ark of Napsthim, La Pucelle)

Then there is that final category: Redemption.  Starting from the top a game that for whatever reason I quit and never really wanted to go back to because it annoyed the fuck out of me.   You know, give it one more chance.  Just because it abused me once doesn't mean itll hurt me any more right?  IT ONLY HIT ME CUZ I CRIED! (Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence, Final Fantasy 8 (HAHA WHAT A PILE OF SHIT), Robot Alchemic Drive (ALMOST WORSE THAN FF8 IN BEING A GAME GOD HAS FORSAKEN), Battlestar Galactica, Call of Cthulhu)

Then there is the option for casual or retro play for a while.  Arcade collections, pick up and play titles, fighters, SHMUPS, ect.

I have so many choices its making it hard to pick a choice.  I oould easily triple the amount of options in every category.

It is fucking awesome in 1080p. I seriously think it might be bad for me though. My heart was pounding for about 20 mins after I turned it off and I think I was leaning into the curves too much because it sent my sciatica into a total spasm! 100% pure adrenaline rush game  awesome, for real
