Random Gamer Silliness

It has a lot of flaws (not least of which being 10 years old) but it's a solid game and you never quite get past the "oh shit it's one of those things!" Feeling because since the game jumps around to a like eight different people the only tools you always have is your magic. One chapter might give you an elephant gun that knocks down the three headed troll in one shot, the next one might have you trying to figure that same guy out with a scimitar and pretty much running about screaming oh shit oh shit oh shit.

Oh! Good, I do that a lot.

Eve was a good horror game too. One of the first where I got to play a girl. I was so happy.
 
Main character is a girl and there is at least one more girl in the game, plus most of the people aren't really heroes they're just poor fucks in the wrong place at the wrong time. (Though I guess WW 1 era France was the Wrong place for just about everybody) and trust me you feel like a boss the one chapter you play as a character who is packing. It's like sweet sweet ambrosia.

Dino Crisis can get pretty hectic too. Fuckin T-Rex always bustin through walls. I must be really really yummeh cus there were perfectly good dead things outside.
 
I am...DONE with work and just got the shopping done. Gonna make some szechuan noodles for dinner and it's all DA2 for the rest of the weekend.

S'about shift change ... fifteen minutes.

*squeezes toothpaste*

I am so -not- cooking tonight.

As long as there are no...*dun dun duuuuun* Escort missions. Hate those things. *spit*

No escort missions. A couple of battle where you look at your weapon, look at the bad guy, back to your weapon and think. Seriously? They expect me to kill that, with this? I've killed a couple of those before and you generally need. . .fuck my life.

Endless Ocean: Blue World. Not much of a game but fairly entertaining scuba sim. I wish the sharks weren't such dicks all the time but fun

Oh LA Noir. Everybody should play that and get pissed off. And then play the Reefer Madness expansion and forgive them.

Oh good. Escort missions make me reach for the off button. Fable 1 had one of the worst, and the original Warcraft series of games was riddled with them.

Not sharks!

Heh. Never heard of it. Will have to try that too.
 
Fable 1's escort mission wasn't bad once you realized you were a fucking boss. You want a frustrating escort mission. Try Perfect Dark. You have to escort an alien named Elvis and he's quite frankly the baddest motherfucker in the room. He knows this. So you'll walk into a room with ten bad guys and think "gee we should run like hell" and he's all " I got this. And will not leave until you've eliminated the enemy.
 
DA2 gets my respect. I can recommend it to play. I've had some seriously teeth-gritting awful moments of roleplay immersion. They got me. Made me care. Made me cry.

I can only play through once right now also, because my son's been watching and he desperately wants to play.

Enough fuckuppedness has happened that I want to see what happens when I choose otherwise.

I'm screwed either way, I know that. But I'm curious.

Good game!

Best line ever: "A wizard did it."
 
Heh, I just started a new game on Amnesia.

Tis really scary when played in the dark.

I'll check that out next. I might replay DA1...but I have to stop about halfway through.

The idea of running through the whole fade maze just makes me cringe.

That is something they did well in this game. They don't have sections that take hours and hours to get through. Quick instances where you can get things done without belaboring a theme for too long.

It's not as engaging...but it's also not as stupid. I've had some real good results picking some options and thinking "Heh. That's what I would have done."
 
Son is starting Skyward Sword, he looks funny.

I didn't look that awkward. :cool:

I didn't spin my character around enough in the character creation...I'm afraid I gave myself a bit of a distracting underbite.

I'm trying to rock the Sigourney Weaver.
 
I haven't gotten around to Skyward. Do I need to? I just dun want a wii move plus or whatever that doohickey is.
 
Okay, done with DA2. I'm going to pout, but not go ballistic as I did with DA1 about the ending.

It's a good game. Typically "oh, this just keeps getting worse..." at the end with the Grey Warden series, and just as much "What? What just happened...?" at the ending.

But I was prepared. Now I'm getting Awakenings and I'm sure I'm going to replay DA1 just 'cause.

I'm going to have to give Fenris a try, because he seems very high maintenance and is going to need an entire game to keep his pissy pants calmed. But I can do it!

He hated my guts last game. I'm so proud. :D
 
I recently purchased Minecraft. I have a shitload of games on Steam, but been having a grand old time figuring stuff out. problem is, I wind up cheating and seeing possible solutions on Youtube.

Right now, I am in the process of trying to make an automated mob spawning and killing system. I thought it would be as easy, but alas, it is not.

As for other games, Saints Row the Third is not too shabby.
 
Can any of you remember what got you into gaming? For me it was wolfenstein 3d... I was probably 6 or 7.

My son plays the hell out of minecraft. He likes the design aspect.

Going to the arcade and seeing the magic on the screen at about 6 or 7 years old. Stuff like Donkey Kong and Asteroids. I could stand there and watch people play it until my folks had to pry me away from the huge cabinets, lol
