Brand new PC, and what am I playing? Oblivion. Looking for Fallout 3 got me thinking about it, and I decided to try it out with the OOO mod and a couple of others. So far I am having a ball, but the leveling system is just so fucking stupid.

Still playing WoW.  Almost have my first 70.

Lots of Guild Wars.  I'm 50% through Elonian explorer, got new armor for all my Sunspears, and am in the process of getting the incubator for my moa chick.  I'm doing some Canthan exploration in the process, however there is a lot I will have to back-track through since I was blitzed through the campaign to let me get a black moa.

Reinstalled Mass Effect so I could continue my insanity level play through.  After the format and with my newer vid card it's performing well.  No crashes at all so far.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

I'm playing Eternal Poison right now.  It's not great and it's HARD!  I haven't bought any PlayStation 2 rpgs for about two years though so I'm out of touch.  I'm sure someone can tell me what to buy.  They have to be Japanese, though, and at least somewhat nonlinear.  I'm in the mood for adorable and MMOs are just pissing me off lately.  I'm likely to go back to WoW for that expansion at some point.

Yeah, I've got all these sitting on my desk at home.  I haven't had the heart (or time to get into them).  Probably best to wait for the second iteration, eh?

Take a look into Mana Khemia then, the ps2 version, not the psp version.  I think it mostly covers your needs, and you can probably find it pretty cheap.

If you already have them, it's no cost.  It'd let you learn the lore and if you like game design then they're worth playing just to see some of the things they've done.  It's okay to wait, but since it'll be at least a year if not more, I don't see why you need to.

Thanks!  We went out to the shops yesterday but, I couldn't find much.  I have to say that the closest Gamestop we have is pretty messy.  I'll buy it online.  There's a new one coming out soon, too.

Yeah, I may give it a shot then.  I'm not enjoying anything else that much anymore, so why the hell not?

Finished campaigns for World in Conflict and Dawn of War II recently. Both bought on a whim due to steam sales.

I should really go back and work on my PS2 backlog at some point, probably starting with finishing Persona 4.

Arkham Asylum is far bigger, longer and better than expected. Pretty much a goty contender.
Given that Rocksteady's only other title was Urban Chaos, this is all the more surprising.

My thoughts exactly HB. Got an early copy myself and after about a 4 hour play session, I came away thinking "Damn, this is a helluvah game."

I don't know if anyone else has tried it yet, but the Lost Planet 2 co-op demo is awesome.  Besides that, more Mount and Blade and Red Faction:  Guerrilla

Is the LP2 demo local co-op?



Still playing Call of Duty: World at War.
Aaaaanyways, found something both sad and hysterical. Turns out they have 'leveling servers',

Not really surprising behaviour in any game where thare is a grind though..

I downloaded a handful of things from PSN yesterday, thinking the boy was interested, but once I was done he just wanted to play Cocoreccho. swamp poop  So I played with a few of them a bit later.

Mesmerize: Meh.  Wave arms, things move.  It might be more fun if things did not move as if they were suspended in a viscous fluid.  Or it might still be stupid.

flOw: Fun for some reason I can't elucidate.  Makes the wife think something is crawling on her.

flOwer: I may have spelled that incorrectly.  Anyway, this is a much, much better flOw.  I spent more time on this than I had intended.  Got a trophy, too.

Later I will check out PixelJunk Racers.

My wife got irritated at all that stuff, so I went back to Last Remnant.  Moved story forward, then went to explore the new sections of Lavafender since I had acquired the key some time ago.  I was hoping the monsters in there would be tough for me, but no.  Maybe deeper down.  I am Rank 102 and everything I find is easy-easy, but there's this bastard of a eldritch dragon up in Fornstrand that eats my entire force in a few rounds, and I am very interested in having my three new soldiers become more useful as soon as possible.

Playing Fallout 3 again - running the newly beta released Fook 2.0 mod. It's a full redo of all of the weapons and most of the armor in the game. The RAR for the beta was over 1GB.  ACK!

Linky please? Then again, despite enjoying F3 an awful lot, I'm not sure if I'll ever have the energy to play through the game again..

Fcuk you, I'm trying hard to avoid reinstalling GW.  All of you GW fuckers can bite my dick if I end up reinstalling it, and you can lick my ass if I end up buying an expansion.

I'm going to leave that typo in there to indicate my rage level.

Nah, took me 14 hours to beat the SP. Given the under 8 hours length of most games nowadays, Arkham has a very nice size. Still have 75% of the challenge rooms to do, and given that it took me 3 hours to 3 bats the first, easiest 25%, it's safe to say that it'll last at least 20 hours.

I want more because the game is just that damn good.

It's short. Just because the trend is to short games doesn't make a less short game not short.

Now that ChampO beta has wound down, I'll probably head back to 1404. Contemplating a run through FFH2 on the way.

Sky, if the trend is going downward and Arkham is longer than where that trend is going does in fact make it not short.

I'm sure you're going to try to make some semantic case out of this little pissing match, but ever since God of War came out, the trend has been to 8 hours. This one is 14. That's nearly double the length. That's not short. Not anymore. I can't remember the last big budget game that took me more than 10 hours to beat that wasn't an RPG.

Also, I'd wager for most people here it would take 20 hours to beat Arkham as, and unlikely as this seems, Hindenburg is the "better" gamer.

I'd guess that it will take me 20-30 due to playstyle.  I purposely take wrong paths in games before I take the correct one, and if I accidentally take the right one early, I am apt to reload it.
