Finally got round to finishing the Killzone 2 campaign. That was a let down  Ohhhhh, I see.  Enjoying the multiplayer though and actually not totally sucking at it  awesome, for real

Still on CoD4. about 23 more headshots needed on the russian sniper rifle to complete Expert III on all sniper rifles. I think I get a gold one when I'm done. I think I'm gonna go for the Barett .50.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I just got the game Castle Crashers on Xbox Live pointed out to me from a friend of mine.

Fun side scrolling RPG available via download on Xbox Live.  Simple but addicting.  Anyone playing?

Played a fair amount right at release before my game-ADD kicked in and I moved on to something else (though I forget what), though I'd call it a Final Fight-style beat 'em up with some RPG trappings.  Great fun for drunken co-op, especially with 4 people in the same room.

Got the enhanced version of "The Witcher" and am playing it. I'm enjoying it, even if the fact that its harder to not have sex with everything in a skirt is mildly irritating. It actually compleatly messed up the end of the first chapter for me. Anyway Combat is fast paced, though the main character sometimes just stands there despite my desperate clicking. The story seems to be pretty decent so far, and the voice acting is preety good.

As an aside it has one of the best intros I've seen for any game in a long time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVAHVaqcpyc

I just bought Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and thought I'd give it a go.  I'm now playing this, Lego Indiana Jones (PS2), and CoH.

I've had the box on my shelf for three years, and just recently installed, patched, and tacked on mods to play it.

My experience has been pretty schizoid. Adventuring stuff is completely awesome. Sneaking through dungeons and putting arrows in the faces of bandits and necromancers is faboo. I love the fact that you can interact with damn near anything. Towns are a different story. Because you can interact with damn near anything, I've found it extraordinarily difficult to navigate shops without accidentally "stealing" items. I've had nights where I literally made no progress because I was repeatedly run out of town by psychic guards for "stealing" or killing a shopkeeper in self-defense.

Anyone know a mod that will allow nefarious deeds to go unmarked if they're done where no one can see?

Ah, telepathic guards, how doth thou sucketh. I can't believe the game treated unobserved actions in such an eminently stupid fashion.

I gave up on Oblivion after a hardware change forced sound card bugs (auzentech, fixed by creative, heh). When I put in the creative hardware, fixing the bug, I had no desire to play Oblivion again. I'd rather just got to the next rpg, I'd probably go with Drakensang and then Sacred 2 at this point.

There is (was?) a Psychic Guards mod for just this purpose, although what it did was change the range at which they detected your evildoing to something more like what a real human would be able to do.

I think I've got the one you're talking about, but it only seems to affect propagation of cries once the alarm is sounded. Last night I killed a shopkeep who attacked me in his store. He never escaped into the street, and guards never entered. I wandered around in a a leisurely way, broke into his upstairs and basement, and dragged his corpse behind the counter. As soon as I exited, a guard ran up from nowhere and yelled "JAIL 4 U."

There's also the magic ability NPCs have to detect any stolen object on your person, even if you took it when no one was around to see.

Shit, now I want to make a mod.

Hmmm. I just started up a new character (Agent) and have been arrested about 5 times. I assumed that it was because I wasn't in sneak mode when I committed my crimes. Bitch of it was, that most of the time, I was doing main quests. Break into this guy's house to find evidence, kill this guy to join the Dark Brotherhood, etc. One time it was because I accidentally pick pocketed a guy because I forgot I was in sneak mode. Oh well, as long as I have enough gold to pay my fines...

I was drinking when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray.

Mmm, games.

Presently, I'm still barely hanging on in WoW. My guild isn't running raid times I can attend, so my shaman is all dressed up with nowhere to go. Dailys are a drag, the Whisperwind community is a pack of drooling morons, and the Argent Tournament makes me want to strangle puppies. How the mighty have fallen. I still get a kick every time I see my draenei, though. Probably the only reason I'm still subscribed.

Fortunately, the 360 comes to the rescue.

Playing Sacred 2. I like the game and it's getting more addictive as time goes on. The camera, though...I hope Diablo 3 has a fixed background perspective. Full 3D with a fully mobile camera in this sort of game is a mistake, I think. I find myself constantly fiddling with the thing and never quite getting the view I want (like Dungeon Siege). Not a huge thing, but it's a minor annoyance that never goes away.

Still playing Fallout 3. My second character and working my way through Broken Steel. Blasting vertibirds into glowing confetti with a gatling laser shows no sign of getting old. I love this game and can't wait for the 4th DLC and/or Fallout: Vegas.

Still putting in a weekly D2 adventure. Blizzard can't get D3 out fast enough to suit me, but S2 is holding the frustration at bay for now.

The closing of 3D Realms has me going through Duke Nukem 3D again, courtesy of the eDuke32 conversion. Great game. Too bad they fell on their sword with Duke4ever.

Have a few other 360 games on the back burner. Sega Ultimate Genesis Collection (luvs me some Phantasy Star), UT3 (if I can convince my friends to play; no success yet), Fable 2 with the new DLC, and maybe a return to PSU.

Eh, didn't play anything over the weekend. Since I dropped EQ2 I just haven't had the interest to play anything else. Started a game of FFH2 but didn't get over the startup hump. Probably jump back into some GTA4 at some point. Last week I played the first bit of Far Cry 2, I think I'm pretty much over straight shooters.

More fun rewiring some lighting around the house or playing guitar. Also known as: summer.

Demon's Souls. Hard, fun, hard-fun. I have not gotten far yet.

Second play-through of Aquaria. Trying to only use the mouse to play. Hard as hell as a result. Still pretty fun and still got great music!

Second play-through of Mass Effect. I probably won't get through it this time, it really, really hasn't aged well. Feels more like an interactive movie or one of the old FMV games like 7th Guest, only rendered in full 3D. It's however still super smooth as an experience, just not very engrossing as even going full retard makes you a galactic hero - only you dare to pick your nose while speaking to the council! Or something.

I have leapt feet-first into 2007 and am playing TF2 now. Very approachable shooter, for someone like me who hasn't touched one since the late 90s, and a lot of fun. I unlocked a flare gun! Woo!

Are you playing on public or private servers?  I was having fun with it until I ran headlong into the Internet.

I'm playing WoW and Free Realms as my MMOs of the moment.  I had been playing a lot of Fable 2 and now that my system is back in proper working order I'm into Fallout with a vengeance.  Once that dies down somewhat I'll see if Mass Effect is behaving since I still need to beat it on Insane difficulty and earn a couple more badges.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

I am also playing TF2! I never play FPS games, so it has been an experience, I tell you what. I've mostly been playing the medic, because the medic don't care if I can't aim worth shit, and there's almost always not enough medics on whatever team I'm joining.

The cock-based chat ... it is weird. MOST of the time, the voice chat has either been non-existant or game-based and not horrible, though, which surprised me. But then once in a while you get a guy who is just this endless font of "ur mom loves my dick"-esque blather and I seriously find it baffling rather than insulting.

There's an option to disable voice entirely if you get tired of muting people manually.  I've got voice enabled for now, but every now and then I get fed up and disable it for a few months.  Lately it seems like the first thing I have to do on joining any server is mute everyone, so I think that time is fast approaching again.

Are you two in the Steam group?  I play at least a little TF2 almost every night.

I highly recommend the Studio Rumble server. They don't take kindly to voice spam and don't have a damn music channel. It's far and away my favorite TF2 server.

Coincidentally I've also started playing TF2 in the last couple of days. I don't know why I hadn't tried it earlier but, eh. Really fun multiplayer game, mostly sticking to public servers and playing arena matches, which I'm really enjoying. So far I've been sticking mostly to Scout or Spy, medic when everyone else on the team is being stupid and needs help. Hardly got any achievements unlocked and it's only public servers but I'm managing to rank in the top 6 or so fairly often so I figure I've not gotten totally useless at FPSes.
