What Are You Playing? January 4th, 2013

Ocarina of Time 3D and Mario Kart 7 on the newly acquired 3DS XL muhahahaha!

I'm running errands and working some scripts I'm writing. If I have time, I'll either jump into some TWD to finish my second runthrough, or I'll start playing Dead Space, since I haven't played any of them yet, and I was told by several people that I'm a big stupid dummy for it.

Oh! I just remembered my girlfriend won't be home because she's having girl's night with friends! Lucky me! She's going to come home and find me balled up in a corner, crying with all the lights on!

That's just mean, but it sounds like something I would totally do to her. She scares easily, so it's fun.

The Walking Dead: Episode 5 tonight when the kiddo goes to bed. New Super Mario Bros 2, Prototype 2, and Dishonored (time permitting on those three)

I haven't played much of it. So far I like it, but I have only played it like an hour or two.

I just finished The Walking Dead. Wow. I can't wait to play it again, and for Season 2 to come out.

Same as last week:
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (PS2): what a fun game, but the graphics have not aged well. The textures in some places look almost as if they belong on the original Playstation.
Star Ocean: The Second Story (PSX): all the random battles are starting to get to me, but I want to see what happens.

I believe some of the PSP versions are available for download on the Vita.

I was just playing with my cat, but now she is curled up next to me asleep. Civ IV is calling my name again. Skyrim with Mods. Magicka a game I got on sale (Thanks Steam).

No, just my cat and she won't play unless I feed her tuna.

And there goes my dirty mind

Far Cry 3. I swear you never stop running from mission to mission. It's a blast. I bought AC3 but might return it because I won't think I'll play it before the window of a full refund closes.

Got TWD on the $10 sale on XBLA. Also just when I thought I was nearing the end (~40hrs playtime) of Skyward Sword I have to go search down some dragons. Phew this game is long, but good.

Also, how good of a rig do you need to play TF2? Isn't it F2P now? I might hop into it if I can run it.

Civilization V. I enjoy a good game that doesn't really require me to have sound for so that I can listen to my own music while playing. Think I'll listen to Meddle by Pink Floyd and Discovery by Daft Punk while playing. Maybe some Yes or Tame Impala too.

Cool! What's your favorite civ? I like France.

Just started, so don't know yet. I got almost all of the DLC & the expansion, so there's a lot of them. I really like how they preserved a lot of the best aspects of Civilization Revolution though.

Love the Japanese. Full strength attacks no matter how damaged the unit is. Tiny and gnome we should all play a game of Civ V one day. I like how you can save multiplayer games unlike Revolution.

OK, but you'll have to tell my psychiatrist why I'm crying, sucking my thumb, and in the fetal position, after I lose.

Daft Punk would be amazing Civ5 music, thanks for the inspiration. If I'm playing at my friend's house, it's always Zeppelin. Has become a bit of a joke now :)

"In the days if his youth MasterRabbi was told what it means to be a man..."

Mass Effect 3. God damn it Bioware

This month I'll be playing "Don't let anyone in the ICU die". And maybe finishing Sleeping Dogs :D

Just this month? No previous or coming months?

It's one of many rotations during my residency. I have rotated there before, but this will be my last time through.

If you're in Birmingham tell me, I'd love to see you "work" in the ICU...

Sorry, I live in the lands of ice and snow and Packers fans.

I hate that my family moved to Green Bay. The only upside is the fact that growlers of great beer from HP and Titletown are only like $13.

League of Legends, TWD, and God of War 3. If I finish TWD and GOW 3 soon, ill get back to Borderlands 2 again.

Like 10-12 hours, but it's an awesome 10-12 hours!

Rock Band Blitz, bought it on new year and have been having a blast with it, along with a batch of new songs for it and RB3.

Borderlands 2, and the usual liver destruction.

That is a great game to destroy your liver to.

It's a good thing every has 2 livers right

In the middle of Hitman: Absolution with a little bit of Journey on the side.

Absolution is phenomenal.

Having a lot of fun with it, although I can't help notice the difference from Blood Money. Feels more like a Splinter Cell with fiber wire to me. Not that that's a bad thing, just different.

Sleeping Dogs, 2k13, BL2, maybe a 2nd TWD playthrough... but i'm not sure if the replay value is there. It seemed more like they gave you the ILLUSION that your decisions mattered but they all ended up coming to the same conclusion.... I really loathe Larry and would have loved to off him in 2 or 3.

Disregard Larry... I meant Kenny...bastard.

You start to see the weight of your decisions in Episode 4. I'm on my second playthrough and I've been trying to do everything differently. It didn't seem much different until Ep. 4. The main points of the story arc are still the same, though.

The Binding of Isaac. If anyone misses the NES-era challenge of Smash TV games, this one is right up your alley. Edmund McMillen is one of the few designers out there who still creates games where the only requisite for progression is an actual increase in playing skill, rather than grinding and stat increases.

Yeah, I couldn't argue with a dollar twenty-five.

Yeah, I couldn't argue with a dollar twenty-five.

Halo 4, Skyrim, and Assassin's Creed 3 (Wii U). Although I like vampires, i dont know if i like the Dawngaurd add-on. The only reason being that when you're a stage 4 vampire, people don't attack you on sight like they used to, they only do it if you're a vampire lord. I hate that. What I used to love doing most in the game was becoming a vampire and having to sneak into towns to feed on sleeping people without being attacked (since I enjoy stealth so much), and that kind of reminds me of the movie "let me in" which I love a little too much. sigh*

Have you seen Let the Right One In? I think I still prefer the American remake, but they're both amazing vampire films stuck in a genre that mired in ****. Somewhere, F.W. Murnau is turning in his grave.

Yeah whenever I tell someone I like that movie, I usually get a comment about how I'm a girl. Not that I won't admit I'm not the manliest of men, it really sucks that two great movies (and the book, which i've read) is relatively unheard of and anyone who has heard of it assumes it will be like Twilight. But yeah, I have seen Let The Right One In, but I saw the American version first so I like that one more. I'm also in love with Chloe Grace Moretz (yeah, im a 21 year old who likes a teen actor, what of it?)

Unfortunately, with Warm Bodies, the zombie genre will get the same treatment. It'll be a sad, sad day. Classic movie monsters are done, and it makes me sad. I blame Anne Rice.

I blame Stephanie Meyer. The ***** can't even write

Actually, Warm Bodies looks to be a bit on the comedy side. My wife and I want to go see it because it reminds us of Zombieland type of humor.

I absolutely loved DEUS EX, so picked up a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 for only 10 euro = ) I knew of Gamerevolutions long lasting love of this game, so I thought, lets try that then.

I can't quit Crusader Kings 2. Except when my friend tells me he's going to be on Planetside 2 tonight. Also got my 100/227 achievements on Civ5, almost there...

Still playing ACIII, maybe will stard Far Cry 3

Retro City Rampage! And BF3, of course.

Just got it on Xbox the day it came out. Its so chock full of cameos and knock backs to older games and pop culture. Can't walk 5 feet in that game without getting smacked by an old reference.

WoW.
Gearing my rogue and leveling my priest :)
I got a little down from xbox, I might play some nhl from time to time and I still have to finish the walking dead, haven't played the last 3 episodes yet.

Replaying the mass effect trilogy on pc this time also shogun 2:total war ive had it for ages but only just installed it, its pretty epic

FF 13, had it for the ps3 but lost interest in it towards the end. trying to beat it this time around. i'm also playing lost odyssey, the boss fights are kinda hard

Just finished FF13 last week and now I'm trying to get a platinum...that means 40 more hours of grinding and boss battles. I've like 100+ games I need to finish, but this year I've resolved to slow down and play single-player games for fun instead of "getting them out of the way."

Far Cry 3, and some sick, sick part of me decided to download the Mists of Pandaria 10 day trial. If it's as much fun as I'm honestly expecting it to be, I may actually buy it in a couple of months and feed my annual month-long WoW addiction after I finish all this other crap up (Far Cry, another Dishonored playthrough, and the next Borderlands DLC mostly). I never really got tired of it (I play it in sporadic one or two month bursts, once or twice a year), but I did play it so much I burned myself out on it for quite a while.

Like I said, I'm one of the few people who play this game that can play it in moderation. I'm guilty of having at least one 24-hour marathon, but I've never missed work or class or anything like that just to play it.

Just finish alice in wonderland,I just starting with call of duty black ops 2

Experiencing Okami for the first time. I see why my friends always told me to play it.

HD, I'd been eyeing it on the store for a while. The psn card I got for christmas whet towards it. I didn't really know what to expect but it's great so far.

Finishing up Far Cry 3, Blight Town in Dark Souls (Ugh!), and Hitman Absolution.

Just got through blighttown on ng, Quelaag went down hard. Get past blighttown and you're golden it just takes being persistent and lag tolerance.

Sorry for double post but Tomb of the Giants is hell and Four Kings on NG suck, because I'm trying to get into the Dark Wraiths (I Have over 30 humanity stocked up Dark Armor here I come).

trials evolution , (new super mario bros 2 & mario kart 7 3ds)

I just finished Metal Gear Solid 3. I've been making progress in Xenogears and Peace Walker. Also, I went back to Virtue's Last Reward to watch some of the novel sequences again. I've been wondering why you guys haven't reviewed it yet. It seems it's not even on your game list! Blasphemy!
