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? March 3rd, 2012

Posted on Saturday, March 3 @ 10:00:00 Eastern by

While I wait patiently for Mass Effect 3 to come in the mail on Tuesday so that I can not play it and instead go to San Francisco for GDC all next week, I'm going to be playing a whole lot of SSX! While the franchise's return might not have been everything you'd hope and dreamed for, it's still a ton of fun to log on, dominate all your friends, and then log off knowing full well that they're going to be so fucking pissed when they see that you destroyed all of their high scores.

In addition to trolling in SSX, I'll be putting the finishing touches on this Asura's Wrath review, in addition to cleaning up the rest of my plate so I'm cleared for launch next week.

What are you playing?

    I am playing World of Warcraft on PC and both Hot Shots Golf and Rayman Origins on Vita.

    I really want SSX but I'm waiting until the price goes down!

    Been playing NBA 2K11 lately. Have to get around to playing Dark Souls at some point for a college class (that just seems weird). Otherwise, I'm patiently waiting for MLB 12: The Show (I'm a huge baseball fan). I'm kind of in a dull period right now, video game-wise.

    Alright, at the risk of revealing my identity (not that I'm paranoid), I'm an English major at Dakota State University, a technology university in South Dakota. One of my required classes is called Contemporary Myth and Media, a class that combines game majors and English majors. The professor is a game professor, and he assigned Dark Souls. I gather that it is a perfect game in his eyes.

    I know that you probably asked that rhetorically, but I thought I would indulge.

    Deus Ex here. I'm enjoying it so far, but inventory management is starting to annoy. I hate leaving a perfectly good shotgun on the ground because it's just a bit too large.

    If you don't mod it, then don't worry about it. There are TONS of shotguns later in the game.

    Trying to beat a couple games before ME3 hits on Tuesday. RE Revelations and Siberia. Siberia is pretty old but still a fun point and click adventure game.

    I have Revelations but I haven't even put it in my 3DS yet. Guess I'm waiting for Vita fatigue.

    Just beat revalations... Last boss took me a lot of tries... ProTip: Use the home button to go back to the main menu and press x to close your open game when you die. This way you won't rack up any deaths in your death total and you have to start back at the last save point either way.

    Probably Killzone 3's MP from PSN, Gotham City Impostors, and Skyrim. Although I might be picking out computer parts soon for my amazing gaming PC I plan on building. Or rather, midrange PC system. But it's amazing to me at least!

    I might hop on and play some Killzone too. It depends on how much gaming time I get in this weekend.

    Holy crap, was the platinum really easy to get? Did you get every trophy or is it just one of those platinums that says "finish the game"

    You have to collect all 101 power cells, every orb and every fly. But I finished the game about five times on PS2 so I know the whole thing by heart even though I hadn't played in three years.

    EQ1 since it's going (or is) F2p, I'm still not sure yet when it's officially f2p. Also some KOTOR and LOTRO. Been on a star wars/lord of the rings binge lately. Found all 6 star wars and all 3 lord of the ring dvd's each w/ bonus content disc for $50 on craigslist, in immaculate condition.

    SSX on ps3, L4D and Payday on PC. SSX is awesomely frustrating with a pretty short single player mode and a good 'ghost' multiplayer. I'm just sad that none of my friends have the game so I have nobody's record to beat and feel good about it.
    PSN ID is dominicane if anyone feels like getting their records crushed ;-)
