I really want to play DAoC... I should just quit procrastinating and start playing EVE again (I don't want to regather my shit up again).

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Aiming to get Lego Indiana Jones completed to 100% with all achievements, then I'll get serious on Lego Batman. Then I think I'll be sick of Lego titles. Gears of War 1 & 2 up next.

I also want to use a free trial of POTBS I know runs out soon-ish, give Ryzom a shot before it goes p2p and actually start the box copy of Vanguard I picked up for $10. CoH/V lurks in the background, as does the ChampO beta test.

Got a few spare days coming up, which means I might clear some of these.

This recent foray into Burnout Paradise has made me familiar with a certain cover of Siouxsie's Cities in Dust.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1GiYgwJams.

Seriously, wtf. It's sounds like Britney Spears or some shit. And yet, it's still a good enough song that I'm bobbing my head to it.  ACK!

I wonder if the girl singing that even knows wtf she's singing about (the destruction of Pompeii). I don't remember Siouxsie sounding so jubilant about it.

Did the Mogtard Fairy come through here and smack some of you with the Stupid Wand?  Asheron's Call?  DAoC?!  Vanguard?!?!  These all sound like bad ideas, although I expect UnSub is just testing the waters and won't actually sub to any of that.  Cheddar, however... hang your head in shame.

While working at home, I have been playing GalCiv II and making gains toward kicking everyone else in the balls.  While biting off large chunks of the Torian Navy, the stupid Drengin attacked my core worlds from the south and I had to send a couple ships down there to kick the shit out of them.  I'll give them credit, they actually destroyed one of my medium-hulled ships although the losses they took in doing so qualified as obscene.  I finally accepted their fourth request for a peace treaty so I could respond to some uppity Torian bullshit which I really don't have enough ships to deal with.  So instead of putting out fires or retaliating in a normal way, I'm sending about three warships and 4000 troops to take their homeworld.  Mostly just to piss them off, and it's funny to watch them send fleet after fleet at my single ships on the way to Toria.  I like long, drawn-out campaigns because I can get my imagination going and actually get emotionally vested in the game.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

I dunno - I was beating them in one of the noob cars well after launch, so I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of 'canned' ones that are just there to give you something of a baseline when you start playing.  They're eventually replaced by your times or the times of people you play online with, since mine are all either me or my brother.

Currently playing 'wait for UPS to deliver my new PS3 HDD', since I'm out of room now.  Mandatory 2-4 GB installs suck.

I got online the other day and start beating records there too. But I wonder if it's just a "record of the day" type of thing. Will have to check again sometime, I guess.

I don't really like the online game though (which is why I just drove around and raced the road time).. But I'm probably doing something wrong. Just seems like a bitch to get matches started -- like, you have to drive to meetup points just to start or some shit? Bah

Yea - I hear ya on the lack of structure.  A lot of the time I just start a match with my brother and we just drive around with no real goal - basically use it as a VOIP client with a damage model.  Occasionally we'll shoot for times on a particular street or 'race to the observatory' type stuff, but usually we just try to wreck each other cat and mouse style.

Playing more WoW with wife and friends.

I've only got the final battle of the final mission in CoD:WaW to get through, but it's difficult and also sucky. Just want to do it so the game is finished, then it's zombie time till I get bored with it. Then it's Far Cry 2 time... Or Crysis. hm... one or the other of those two..  Ohhhhh, I see.

Bits of Saints Row 2. Getting through the missions quite fast, and am up to the last few before the Ultor missions. Not sure if I give enough of a fuck to go through all the activities/distractions though, since the ones I haven't done are either shitty or boring or both. I've also never come across any f13 people for co-op except for one time, so I don't know if I'll bother trying to play it in co-op once I finish the SP.

Just got back into EDF2019 with the wife.

Just started playing Rock Band 2 with the wife.



Enjoyed a bit of Castle Crashers with some friends recently, but now all they want to do is play WoW.  swamp poop  We never got around to finishing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance either (the classic RPG that it is...)

Was playing a bit of Lego Star Wars, was again close to finishing the last mission (not not the "collect 'em all" bits.. but I got sidetracked and basically forgot I had been playing it till I started typing this post. Must finish the missions this week then...

Started playing GTA4 the other day. After a couple of hours play I didn't think I was going to like it - fugly graphics, jesus the faces are terrible, I mean really badly done, and this is 720p? Looks like half that resolution. Note to TakeTwo - have a look at DeadSpace to see how to do graphics properly. Also you can't steer whilst braking? Are American cars really like that or is it just some stupid way to make you do handbrake turns?

Anyway, I'd picked up this drug dealer and was taking him downtown so he could do some drug dealer stuff and I accidentally fishtailed into a cop car. In the ensuing chase and attempt to lose the cop I might have accidentally hit a few pedestrians and squashed another cop or two. In the midst of the sirens, helicopters and gunfire the drug dealer starts telling me how it's good to chill out now and then and not let the little stresses of life get to you.

At this point I discovered how to turn the jingles on in the ice cream van I was driving and suddenly realised I was enjoying myself immensely.

I don't think that's superficial at all, it's bothering me too, character identity is important in games. In fact it's only the superficial things - high speed cop chases in ice cream trucks - that are keeping me playing  awesome, for real

You really should give Saint's Row 2 a shot - it's all those superficial bits and then some jammed togather with a genuinely good co-op mode, though if you dislike the visuals of GTA4 you'll be even less impressed with SR2.  Comparing the graphics of either to Dead Space is perhaps a bit unfair given the scope of those games.

"Hey, Cousin Nico, let us go see some big American titties, ya?"

I agree Niko was the least interesting of all the characters.  Shallow douchebag that could only think "get moose and squirrel".  Brucie was hilarious, Jacob was awesome and even Fatty Roman was amusing despite his annoying behavior.  Nico sucked.

Agreed.  Just starting playing this yesterday.  Ended up staying up until 3am.  Maybe I should BiiF it, although it'll be fairly cut and dry who will like this title.  The presentation aspect will turn some people off.

Don't know. I didn't play the demo even though I downloaded it. 

As for the story: if you hate it, start button skips any cutscene that I've seen.

The combat is really, really fun.

Finished Bioshock and damn was that worth it. The ending is a bit abrupt, but still payed off well. There was no replay value though, not even with 3 different endings, since to get 1 of them would require me going back to the beginning of the game and playing through all over again. Instead, I just renamed a few bik files and say all 3 endings.

Went back to Medieval 2 Total War. During lunch with my buddies at work, we boot up some co-op games of World in Conflict. I'm also planning on giving an English Civil War mod for Medieval 2 once I'm done with the campaign game of Medieval. And of course, mixing in some GT4 and FIFA 09 when I have the chance.

Prince of Persia is *gorgeous*. And after a few days of being an evil dick in GTA4 it's nice to be playing a good guy for a change.

The skirmish part of the demo (not the single tutorial mission) is pretty close to what kind of team composition you can expect in the full game. Except the real missions are set up as more of a challenge obviously.

I just loved driving my tank forward while the enemy pew-pews at it without doing damage, then mortaring the fuckers. And it's fun figuring out how to shamelessly exploit certain weapons, which is supported by a nice learning curve.

I'm playing City of Heroes on the Freedom server with my new Controller inspired by indie comics witch character Serenity Rose.
How come nobody told me Controllers could kick so much ass?

And portable wise I am back to Front Mission on the DS, working through the second campaign on easy mode so I finish it quickly.

I should be getting the new DS Castlevania soon while I still can.

OK I was enjoying Prince of Persia so much that I'm actually saving it and playing other things (GTA4 still and some more MGS4 and a bit of FarCry 2). Is that weird? I mean it's not the most awesome game ever, it's just really nice to look at and relaxing. Maybe I've just got the hots for Elika. I think I need to get out more....
