So, what're you playing?

[Ingmar]

Just finished Monkey Island SE.

Otherwise:

Dawn of Discovery
WoW
LotRO
Fallout 3 DLC stuff
Guild Wars
Baldur's Gate 1/2 via the BGT mod
Alpha Centauri+Alien Crossfire (found out that it was still for sale in the UK for like $5 so I could replace my lost Alien Crossfire disc for cheap, I <3 you eBay)

That's in no particular order. I really have game ADD lately.

Guitar Hero World Tour for the pc is a tribute to incompetence. There's no mouse support, and when you have to type in your name, they expect you to use the up and down arrows to select the letters in a wheel system.
If that wasn't bad enough, the notes are mapped to L-shift, z, x,c, and v. Alright, that sounds straightforward enough, rite? No. You see, the port crew, in their infinite wisdom, decided that shift corresponded to the note on the rightmost side of the bar. Yes, left is right. Right is also left. AWESOME.

Want better news? you can't remap them while in game, you actually have to open the .xml file in the game's folder C:\Users\FYIAD\AppData\Local\Aspyr\Guitar Hero World Tour and edit through notepad. CRAZY AWESOME.

Not enough? No. That was not enough. They can't just let you insert the key you want in the notepad. They had to develop some arcane numbering shit to determine which key you can use. The result is this. A site dedicated to providing proper keybinds. I shit thee not.

Guitar Hero for the pc and not using a guitar controller. Even I'll mock you for that one.

I played GHIII and my only gripe was the game itself. It played great with the controller.

I think shift is the right button because that's where it is if you hold the keyboard like a guitar. Which would be dumb because you should be using the controller.

[Hindenburg]

I played amplitude. Heck, I played freQuency. Fancy controllers for rhythm games are for pussies.

And seriously, no mouse support? Having to visit a site to edit keybinds? Shit be inexcusable, mon.

Also, that dude is holding his keytard upside down.

So to sum today's f13 lessons: laws and controllers for fake music games are for pussies.

[Rasix]

Just get out of my way, Sky. 

Yesterday I reconfigured my WoW UI from scratch as I forgot to backup my UI folder when I installed my new HDD. Fun stuff (I'm only being partially sarcastic).

Guitar Hero for the pc and not using a guitar controller. Even I'll mock you for that one.

There should be entire Germanic operas written to mock the idea of playing Guitar Hero without a guitar controller, no matter how much you look like a tool for doing so.

[Hindenburg]

Wagnerian, even.

Drums work pretty well, tho. Don't have to keep hitting the strum buttons all the time.

[Jain Zar]

I finished up Midnight Mansion last week and am now back to too many games paralysis.

Made even worse cuz I bought that wierd Super Robot Taisen RPG where everyone is genderswapped because Japan is fucked up.

[HaemishM]

I'm currently rotating through Guitar Hero World Tour on the PS2 (drums are win), Rugby 08 for the PS2 and LotRO on the PC. I'll toss in occasional bouts of Battlefield 2 Special Forces (or vanilla with expansions), FIFA 09 on the PS2 or TF2. I need to get back to Empire: Total War, or for that matter, play Company of Heroes that I got from a buddy for free.

[Yegolev]

Speaking of LotRO, I got my Lithe Festival horse just recently.

[Jain Zar]

I started up Super Robot Taisen Endless Frontier to make sure it works before ditching the receipt. 

45 minutes in and... well I hope anyone who plays it likes boobs.  Cuz already there are 2 massive sets on display.  I'm talking Power Girl level here.

Oh Japan. 

Still being horribly abused by Fire Emblem on the DS, and I actually picked back up my old Phantasy Star Online GC edition.  My main is still deep in the 4th section of Part 2.  A level 33 Ranger with a +24 Lockgun and a Mag with 101 STR bonus.
45 hours on her so far.  Add in 22 hours for my Force user I used for multiplayer with a now ex friend, and 8 more for a lower level for MP play, plus the 40 odd hours I spent on the DC and Blue Burst editions combined and I have spent a metric fuckload of time playing PSO over the years.

[Signe]

I tried LOTRO again but couldn't maintain interest.  I hardly log into FR anymore.  I might try AoC again (free trial) out of desperation.  So, the only thing I'm playing right now is Fantasy Big Brother!   

[trias_e]

Spending a few weeks at the parents.  Staving off boredom by playing oldschool adventure games.  Right now I'm trying out the Tex Murphy series which I got off of GOG.  Even the 1989 original is actually kinda fun.  Well, at least if you like writing down names and autopilot destination numbers all the time.

[voodoolily]

I've been playing a lot of Puzzle Quest, especially when we were on vacation. It's fun and addictive, but starting to get repetitive.

[Stormwaltz]

I'm sorry to admit I'm currently infatuated with Sims 3, which I tried mainly out of admiration for the blog Alice and Kev. The fact that I could get it for free through work helped. In addition to the virtual interior design angle, I find I'm intrigued by my perception of it as a form of strategy game related to time management. In a different form, it might have functioned akin to MOO3's cut "Imperial Focus Points". I also find it pathetically ironic that playing it has made me conscious of how my real life time management sucks, and is only becoming worse because I'm playing this damn thing for hours every night.

Of course I created my wife and I first. Interestingly, in both games I've started, she's become the breadwinner by getting a job as a cook (she's a natural, as in real life), while I stay home to clean the house, fix broken shit (I'm baffled by my development as a handyman -- neighbors have started bringing me TV sets and other junk to fix), and write novels. Her wages are about five times my royalties, but I expect to level up so she can ultimately take time off to have babies. Because, as in real life, she's freaking obsessed with them.

Kinda wish my real life was this clear-cut.

[Soln]

playing LotRO, Schild&Sauce's game (up to lvl 19), and CIV4: FFH2

[Venkman]

Trine and Fallout 3, League of Legends when I get around to it, BF1943 for a few minutes here and there, and the odd beta. Nothing's really keeping my interest though. I only did just finish the Trine Steam demo though and that looks to be a purchase.

[Yegolev]

LotRO
Last Remnant
SMT: Devil Survivor
Overlord II
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

I feel like I should be playing better games sometimes.

[Azazel]

Still doing Fallout 3 during my limited gaming time.

Occasionally will poke at other games installed on my PC or 360 discs, but not to a degree worth mentioning..

[rk47]

Space Rangers 2   

[apocrypha]

Made the mistake of getting the wip3out Fury expansion off PSN yesterday. Heh. Had to stop playing for a bit earlier because I seemed to have stopped blinking and my eyes were crusting over 

[Yegolev]

Ghostbusters outfits for LittleBigPlanet.

[Surlyboi]

Fallout 3 (Specifically, Point Lookout)
SWGemu
Ghostbusters

[McCow]

Little King's Story and Punch Out.
Ghostbusters (360)
The hi res patch for Diablo 2 has me going through that again as well.

[WayAbvPar]

New PC arriving Monday. What have I missed in the past 18 months- 2 years that my shitty old system couldn't run? The new Total War is definitely on my list, as is Fallout 3. Pls2b giving me more ideas (RPGs/strategy/FPS for the most part).

[Yegolev]

I'll recommend The Witcher.  It's one of those RPG games.  I don't really play FPS anymore but there's this zombie game on Steam you might like.  For strategy, all the kids are playing some sort of DotA variant, I hear.

[Velorath]

Not really playing much right now except for a bit of the new H2Overdrive arcade at work.

[Amarr HM]

I'm currently playing Wii Grandslam tennis with the motion plus dongle. It's actually quite good, very difficult but quite rewarding when you purposely pull off a great passing shot or win a hard fought rally.

[Sleep]

Recently I moved to a place hours away from all my friends and the internet. As a result I've been getting back into some old games lately. I just finished chrono trigger for ds and now I'm looking forward to the zelda ocaraina of time and new (for me) n64 I just ordered last week from amazon. Can't wait to see how that game has aged.

I'm seriously considering buying baldur's gate 2 because I have never played it before and I love rpgs. Knights of the old republic (first one) is on top of my wish list as well. I would love any reccomendations/suggestions

Come back when you have any gamer cred.

I finally finished Phantasy Star Online Episode 2.  I did not realize I was so close to the end of the game when I quit back in the day.
(Or that levelgrinding Ep 1 in Hard Mode was a faster track to completing Ep2 on Normal.)

Only took me 61 total hours for my Ranger to complete it, and the final boss was pretty easy.  Only took 3 tries.  (I needed to have a defense buff spell cast otherwise its final form could 1 shot me.)

Thus another game is complete. 

I then started up Operation Darkness which I got cheap for the 360.  Its pretty cool so far.  Its like a JSRPG had a baby with Silent Storm.

[Hindenburg]

Don't you dare insult silent storm like that.

[schild]

Seriously.
