What Are You Playing? February 23rd, 2013

I'm hosting a 48-Hour Film Festival at my school. So far, there have been some really cool ideas, and we still have about 30 hours to go!

A measly six. We're a small liberal arts college, with about 2250 students, and no film program. Luckily, there were over thirty entrants, they just all decided to be friends and work together. It's late in our term, though, so a lot of people are busy. Three teams dropped out because they have term projects due on Monday haha.

I went to a tiny liberal arts school about 1200 total students. It wasn't until later that I realized I payed a ton of money to go to high school a second time.

Man, if it wasn't for some of the faculty here, I would have bailed a long time ago. While a lot of the students are lame *******s from upper-middle class suburban Chicago neighborhoods, the faculty miraculously still cares enough to have a vested interest in classroom and extracurricular education. It also helps that I'm older (25) because I went into the military first. So I'm slightly better at time management and not sucking at life. But only slightly. If anyone's interested, here's the link to our YouTube submissions:

Never mind. That spam filter is like, "*****, please!"

Yoshi's Island 2, still. Also watching Exploding Rabbit Lets Play Metroid Fusion.

Watching the playthru last night made me think about dusting off the Gamecube and Game Boy Player and hitting up eBay.

Super Metroid and Castlevania: SOTN are among the peak of great games. Please try them both once more, just for me.

Prime is one of the only 2D to 3D franchise moves that I enjoyed.

I started Dragonborn, but I'm beginning to think I'm underleveled for it. I had to run like a scared little girl from the first dragon priest and the the first book monster I came across because they killed me in three hits. I'll wait until level 30 or so to come back. GO BACK TO SKYRIM, OUTLANDER!

I really do love the new equipment, though. Bloodskal Blade FTW!

There are unique items that aren't leveled (though they are affected by perks like everything else - the Bloodskal wouldn't be much use to you if you suck at two-handed), but most of the loot is leveled, so you wouldn't be able to get stahlrim armor at level three and break the whole game.

P4G and Forza Horizon on the Xbox 360. Also Robotek on WP8.

Don't forget to max out Marie if you haven't on your first playthrough. Her dungeon is really nice (Unlike Marie herself!)

July 8, I may have to restart the play trough because I think I'm not strong enough to finished the Rise dungeon. I'll try a couple times, try to level up and then tackle the mid-dungeon boss again.

The Witcher. I know I'm supposed to be on some sort of epic quest, but I'm overly obsessed with collecting all of the naked lady romance cards.

That is an "epic quest"

I just got FFT for the iPad. It plays pretty well for a touch screen! Highly recommend it.

Played Borderlands 2 way longer than I wanted to. Just started Ni No Kuni, about 10 hours in. I probably don't have to tell you i'm in flippin' love with the game, mun. Very refreshing!

I'm up to what I believe is the final boss fight in metal gear rising. The game is awesome, but imperfect. My biggest complaint is the camera. In the future it will actually be enough for me to think "should I play rising today?..... Nah".

I've tried locking on, but that will just make the learning curve a whole lot bigger because idealy i'd have to use my rude finger for R2 and my index finger for R1 since i'll often want to use both at the same time. That would be okay if the game was a whole lot longer and gave you more time to learn everything, but 5 hours is not nearly enough time to get good at the combat system before fighting the final boss.

Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Skyrim: Dragonborn.
Tomorrow an all day Civ V party

No, I am on no one's 3DS friends list, and I wouldn't even know how to go about getting on some one's 3DS friends list.

Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Dead Space 2.

Was playing NBA 2k5 and MLB: The Show '06 today, 'till my disc-reader decided it was time to melt.

Urgh, it's the 3rd time this year. The first two times were excusable since I'd been using, eh, alternative media, but the third time should not have been so.

Is the technician pulling my leg here?

Nah, man, it's a good-ol´ Ps2. Bought an used one after I stupidly gave the old one away. Now I'm wondering what it went through at the hands of the previous owner and if this little issue isn't the reason he sold it.

Aw well, it's not so much the fixing as it is the time it takes: a full week.

Black Mesa
Fire Emblem
Blood

NCAA Basketball 10 and Dead Space 3. Once I collect all of the artifacts in DS3 ill most likely play Guardians of Middle Earth and League of Legends.

I think I'm gonna show the PS3 some love this weekend and chip away at my backlog... since I won't be able to do it on the PS4.

Been doing the same, a little Killzone 3 here and there.

Oddly enough, that is one series that I've never picked up on my PS3. If I wasn't snowed in right now, I would probably be hunting for a used copy of one or all of them. In the meantime I'm gonna search the GR archives for the reviews of them. : )

I guess that's a result of Sony being full of BS.

Yeah it does suck, but once the PS4 has been out a year or two with a solid library, I don't think anyone will really notice in the long run. I'm just glad used games aren't blocked, and it has a disk drive.

Was playing Spyro 1 on PSP, beat that and now playing Spyro 3. I already had beaten 2 recently since its my favorite.

Picked up Naruto Shippuden Storm 2, to get prepared for 3 since i need to catch up storywise.

I want those on the Vita so much!

I'm playing the clitorus like a game of fruit ninja ;-)

Pardon the double post. Celebrated a wedding today so a little tipsy.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
halo 4 - mp
assassins creed 3 - mp

I downloaded The Tyranny of King Washington for AC3. The game is harder than I remember, no thanks to stupid ally deaths.

Dead Space 3, primarily. Still trying to clear Impossible with a friend,and Classic mode when not playing multiplayer.

It is quite the depressing week in video games for me. I transfered my $5 deposit from Aliens:CM to GTA5. I bought AC3 used but have skipped every single FMV and after stabbing 40 soliders to death but getting scolded after pistoling the screaming women, I returned the game. I'm reduced to watching COH tournament replays on Youtube for the nostalgia.

I'm waaaaaay too drunk to be doing anything like playing video games right now. That being said, I'll probably be playing Dead Space 3 here in a little while.

War thunder and bf3.


Really recommend War thunder. Its in open beta atm so i dont see why anyone shouldnt try it out.

Dota 2, All I need.

Ni No Kuni, although I also recently was playing "win $300 playing craps in Vegas"

Don't gamble away all your pay, Doc.

Nah, I'm not a big gambler. Fun while it lasted but I got it out of my system for a while. Good thing I live a long way from Vegas!

Crysis 3 and Battlefield 3.

Completely disappointed by what I've seen thus far from SONY on PS4. Waiting a superior showing from MS.

I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

We'll see. If the consoles let me down, I'll just go all PC.

Max Payne, still loving the gunplay and the little bits, like Lords and Ladies on TV, that Flamingo one and the dialogue between crooks if you can sneak up on them.

Still playing Skyrim

Downloaded Try Not To Fart on XBox Live too. Good party game.

OHH You know what I'm playing Daniel. I'm playing Rising and the more I play this game, the more I love it. On my second play through trying to unlock the infinite wig for ripper mode. Gotta practice a hell of a lot more on my parry's if I want to get an "S" ranking on REVENGANCE mode.

Also Dead Space 3. Second play through as well. Playing the Co-Op missing I missed on my first play through. Making new guns and upgraded them makes me feel like a mad scientist where I cant wait to unleash my new creation on those damn necromorphs!
