Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

What Are You Playing? January 21st, 2012
Posted on Saturday, January 21 @ 11:05:10 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
I'm still enjoying Dustforce, an indie title you can nab for a song on Steam. There's tons of replay value in here and the scoring at the end of each level really speak to me on an obsessive compulsive level... kind of like Mirror's Edge's time trials.
If I ever made a mistake I'd have to pull the reset trigger straight away. What if I could have come up with an excellent time regardless of that slight misstep? What if I could still nab an S grade on completion if I didn't go back for that small patch of dust?
I'll be ignoring those questions and obsessing even more this weekend in between Advance Wars: Days of Ruin on my 3DS. I'm still wondering though....
A little TF2 goodness. I built myself a Phlogistinator. It's a bit annoying to have to give up air blast, but setting off Mmmph in a crowd is a good time. I've barely even started AC:R, so there's lot's of that to play this weekend too.
My power supply went out on my PC so while I wait for my new one to come from Newegg I've been playing my 3ds. Already beat metroid fusion, minish cap and sonic generations on it. Might do another run through of master quest next.
When I get off this goddamn drilling rig, ill be playing Skyrim. Thief class all the way. BF3 should be fun still. LA Noire - I can always spot the liar but I cant ever pick the correct evidence to back it up. Weird.
