An AOE would be great, not sure I can make a Storm Rod but I will look into it.  Also my Magic is level 3 so...  awesome, for real maybe I should look into a nice two-handed sword.  Really I was hoping at some point I could make a Poison Ring like what is in the first Rune Factory, but I don't have a recipe for that so far.

I made a storm rod even before Kanno gave me the fire rod. Your magic xp will go up real fast when you start using a rod.

I've been using a rod since I was thirteen and still I can only cast one spell with it.

Or do you mean Rune Factory?

Been playing and replaying the new Red Faction demo - I urge anyone with Live to check this out. The destruction is really fun and satisfying, and the gunplay is decent too.

Finished the original Gears.  Liked it plenty, but 2 was superior.  I turned on Fallout 3 and played it for 10 minutes, so maybe that's what I'll do next.  Also picked up Dead Space on the cheap, so mayhap that'll be next.

I picked up Killzone 2 for the weekend and was severely disappointed.  I ended up playing Resistance 2 Co-op. 

Still going strong with DSCC.

Plants vs Zombies and Kings Bounty. Kings Bounty seems to be a RPG that has a superficial resemblance with the HoMM series. No Empire building and no overarching AI enemies. Just solving quests and killing enemies on the stratetic maps with troops you buy in cities and buildings. The overland map is realtime, which doesn't matter because all enemies have fixed positions or roam around a small area.

Dungeon Hack via DosBox on my MacBook and Oblivion GOTY edition on my PC. Dungeon Hack actually surprised me with a tileset I'd never seen before.

Makes me wonder just how many different sets there are in this game.

Anyone else hit a major boredom wall with LOTRO?  I'm thinking about dropping both this and Eve for a while.  Eve is a cool setting, but training skills seems to be about all I have time to do anymore.  MMOs are becoming a major drag.

Otherwise, Demon's souls and sometimes the Riddick game have been interesting.  I can't really get into GOW4 and have Resident Evil 5 at the house and haven't even cracked the seal yet. 

I've been playing Be a King on my Mac some when there is downtime at work.  It sucks, but whatever.

Talk of demigod has me playing dota again. Why play with eight heroes when I can have 93.

I would kill for some sort of ranking system to pair similarly skilled players and discourage quitting.

Been playing the 2005 version of Pirates! after snagging it off Steam for 10 dollars.  The original was one of my all time favorite games when I was young, so I was a little wary of tarnishing my nostalgic memories with this one.  But nope, I'm having a blast with it.  Plundering the Spanish Treasure Fleet and sailing up the Spanish Main sacking cities is as fun as ever.

I can see it becoming repetitive and old before too very long, but that's ok; I've definitely gotten my money's worth,

Try something else like Garena or finding a clan, much better games.

I went for a while there with nothing once I got bored with WoW (that didn't take long).  There was a good break before I got into EVE, which I still consider to be a break since it's not like anything else.  Later I got the 3d-fantasy-diku itch and purchased LotRO last August.  So far I'm not bored but I figure it's inevitable.  Oddly this attitude seems to be making it more fun somehow even though it's just a polished form of what I've been playing for years.  I'll get sick of it at some point, though, and go back to some other genre/subgenre that I have been ignoring, like the Western PC RPG or FPS.  Until then, I'm not worrying about it.

FPS... ha!

I have been playing entirely too much Star Ocean.  I have to admit that The Last Hope is better than Til the End of Time, but it still has some of the same irritating elements.  Also: Jesus Christ, is this game Japanese.  The politeness makes me want to bite the head off of a chicken.  A chibi chicken.

I'm finally getting around to Dead Rising. Man, this game is strange, there is a lot of stuff to do but because of the timing and the save system you can't actually do any of it. I already boned myself by saving in a bad spot and I don't have time to run into any stores and check things out. It seems really weird to create a game that is so open then structure it so that the openess can't be taken advantage of.

This is why I'm stuck as well. The prospect of multiple restarts and the painful-as-hell "hope you found the good guns" first major event, ugh. Not so much. I guess once you've levelled enough, anything should be easier.


Someday I'll tackle this one again, but there are so many games that I have that I need to play.

Playing CoH a bit, got my plant/trick arrow controller and spines/dark scrapper. User made missions are hit or miss, but even a mediocre one is better than playing a dev mission for the 100th time. I filled up my three mission publishing spots pretty quickly, but now I'm stuck for ideas.

Demon's Souls is fun, with some occasional frustrations, so far.

I've been playing the Star Trek game on the PSP.
Its like a dumbed down Starfleet Command, only its hard as hell and has that "If you do well the game gets easier if you do bad it becomes a never ending spiral since you suck" design flaw.

Its pretty fun outside of being hard though.

Been playing a lot of random Steam stuff since, ya know...I CAN NOW with the new PC.

Finally got around to trying Dawn of War II, having never played the first. It's really good. REALLY GOOD.

Picked WC3 off of Blizzard's store since I was bored and remembered how bad I am at RTS games. I have no idea how people pull off getting like 10 basic attack units and a hero raping all of the monsters on the map less than a half a minute into the game.

Should try the first one out it is much better. There are several mods that make the game MUCH better. There is a grey knights mod that is superior in every way compared to relics work. Can get it off steam real cheap.

This is why I stopped playing public RTS matches. Downside is that my games tend to take a Very Long Time.

They're very very different games, and I wouldn't go so far as to say someone who loves DoW2 would like DoW better. The first game is essentially a standard RTS.

Finally slogging through the long ass series and endurance races that make up the 'endgame' of Forza 2(!).  Honestly, while I love the game and appreciate the option to spend 45 minutes in a single race driving a virtual car for virtual money to buy more virtual cars, I'd also appreciate the option to make those races shorter.

TF2, usually 1-3 maps per night.  My pyro has improved greatly (I was sucking w/ conc blast so the backburner is a plus) but I still can't do anything pro with Scout or Heavy.  I'm looking forward to unlocking the ubersaw, but I've never achievement boxed and I don't care that much.

I caved and bought L4D, I refuse to play versus but I've had fun with campaigns when people don't suck.  I played one with Cal and these two guys that was really awesome, like we had extra health packs awesome.  Haven't gone for expert yet, just advanced.  I've also played a bit of survival, nothing major though but its changed my campaign playstyle considerably.  I'm now a auto-shotty player who uses pistols pretty much 90% of the time and I often get to the next ammo pile with 80+ shells, which makes me feel good, I can typically get 0 damage taken and good damage given to the tank, unless I decide its not worth the risk and just run once its on fire.

Back playing Rumble Fighter for a third time, the new generation of scrolls are fun (Judo, Capoeriea, Combat Sambo, Dragon, Vale Tudo, new Boxing styles, Drunken Master) and the 1v1 game has been improved greatly by the addition of a new ground getup move.  I have to say I'm not sure I would play it so much if I hadn't ragequit and broke two ps3 controllers playing SF4.  Fucking fighting games.  I think its good though, if I can master RF, which would require slowing the game down in my mind and learning to see the situation before you act it should help me when/if I go back to SF4.

On the RPG front I got to the final boss of Persona3 and he owned me with Charm, after I had taken out at least 8 of the stages which was weak, I really feel like I've played that game enough so I dunno when I'll work up the will to go through that fight again.  I've also got a fun playthrough of FFXII (I lost a 40hrs /played save right after it first came out and never picked it back up) that when I start it again will most likely get hooks in me and I occasionally power my way through a dungeon or 3 in one of the .hack games because my lil brother is intent on beating all of them and we just started a new one so its at the early who cares part of the story/gameplay.

I've also got Bioshock to finish, but the difficulty is so trivial that its boring as hell and the fights are all the same doubt I'll ever pick it back up esp since I hear the endings are underwhelming.
