Been playing God of War 3 this weekend. God damn is this a violent game. This game trumps all the story and violence in the first two games by miles. It's one of those games where it is okay to call it Epic.

Just wait til you encounter

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Started Europa Universalis III up again. Will try to resist the addictiveness of it this time so I won't spend 10 hours every day for weeks in a row playing the Grand Campaign. So far I've managed to limit myself to 7 hours a day, great succes!

I finally got all the expansions and crap installed and updated. I love this game to death.

I've started giving myself metagame goals, although a few of my campaigns got INSANELY HARD, as I'd run into someone (usually either beefy-venice or beefy-ottomans) with PREPOSTEROUSLY high tech levels compared to me.

My proudest moment in EU3 was when I converted all religious cities to Orthodox Christianity with Ethiopia. Cavalry, sacking my own provinces to max out attrition and some ridiculous warrior kings finally managed to take out the Egyptian main army (after 3 previous wars that I had all lost). With the rich provinces of Egypt i could bunker down and westernize.

Man, I loved that game.

Dusted Alpha Protocol off. Y'know, there is actually nothing really bad to be said about the game at all apart from that ridiculous russian boss. and I can't really remember why I thought it sucked big hairy donkey balls on my first playthrough. Maybe because I already had lowered my expectations this time, or perhaps because I expected total 100% awesomeness when I bought it...

Fiance is playing Zelda Ocarina of Time on the N64, it's such a good game.

Whilst she is playing that I've been playing Etrian's Oddysee on the DS

overall, the game was pretty amazing. although on hard, as you play on, the minigames get to be simply impossible. my latest playthrough (4th, I think) choked in my third city because of that. which is a shame, since I was finally able to

this time.

I think i'll do another playthrough on normal soon.

Yeah, me too. Don't think I'll get the 20 years at one club award, sadly, before 2012 is released ^_^

I tried, but I'm too dumb to get it kicked off. Some better, clearer graphics and slightly better controls than all the little dots and crosses and short keys with no accessible glossary would help me, cause the potential is amazing.

Me neither, I'm only in 2013! But as I'm quitting real life and going back to college next month, I'm reasonably sure I'll get that achievement with FM 12!

I just dusted off Mass Effect 2 last week. I had finished it on Veteran with a Paragon Soldier when it first came out. Now I'm trying it as a Renegade Adept on Hardcore. Damn is the learning curve step stepping up to Hardcore. I almost quit on Horizon. After I beat the Praetorian and could respec my abilities the game moved a lot easier (Heavy Warp and Singularity). Now I'm just finishing up Loyalty missions before going for the Reaper IFF.

You should've gone straight to Insanity tbh! It really forces you to learn how the game works and ability synergy. Also, if you're going to do Insanity, may I recommend not picking Vanguard? Unless you can make the Shockwave Vanguard work, else you'll be shredded if you want to abuse charge and shotguns.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Xenoblade. I haven't so much as touched a book in the couple of weeks that I've had this game. That hasn't happened to me in at least 5 years.

Final Fantasy XII.

Not because it's good, but because my computer is broken and I already ran through all my Zelda replays.

HOLY SHIT VAAN IS THE MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN.

Insanity won't be for a while. I'll probably play another game or two at hardcore to try out some of the other classes, then take my favorite to Insanity.

The main difference is that while on Hardcore most enemies have some sort of defense - shields, armor or barriers - in Insanity they all have something. All in all, it wasn't that hard - certainly not as hard as, say, the Golems of Amgarrak DA:O DLC on max difficulty.

Hmmm . . . maybe I'll give it a shot with my next character. I was debating between the Infiltrator and the Vanguard, since you caution against the Vanguard I'll probably go with an infiltrator. I'm definitely going to miss Singularity when I'm done with my Adept.
