Oblivion is freaking amazing. It'll never be in the same place in my heart as Morrowind, but it's pretty damn great.
Now I have an urge to write a review including my thoughts of Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

Picked up Saints Row 2. Enjoying it. It's becoming a little repetative though.
I decided to undertake the pokemon challenge in which you beat the elite 4 and champion using only one pokemon.
I used my Dragonite (84-87) in SoulSilver and it went very well (aside from Karen).
Seeing Lance's final pokemon (Charizard) go down in one hit from a rock slide felt so sweet.
Karen was the hardest. In my first four runs her Spiritomb kept enduring my first hit and then using curse on me.
Curse + 4 enemy pokemon remaining = screwed no matter what. That health bar just kept on draining out.
Once i cleared Spiritomb the rest were a piece of cake.
I played a zombie survival mod for Arma 2 called Day Z. In the hour I was playing I didn't meet any of the 49 other people on the server or any of the 200+ zombies on the server. I did meet a sheep though.
Just finished the normal story mode for Pokemon Black (allthough I did find it wierd that the credits and a The End was shown when half of the Town map needs to be visited).
Also playing Kingdoms of Amalure: Reckoning and Final Fantasy XIII-2. Allthough those two have been put on hold whole I enjoy some Pokemon goodness.
Will also be playing some Diablo 3 this week I guess.
i've been using a pretty nice site called playr.org to play old games like the original pokemon.
you get save files and stuff too. it's like using a browser based emulator.
goes back to playing pokemon TCG (gameboy color)
So I caved and bought Arma 2 CO, and installed the Day Z mod. What follows is my first experience with the mod.
I started on the coast near a small town. I walked through the town looking for loot, but caught the attention of some zombies. Nearby was a warehouse with a scaffold/catwalk thing next to it so I ran to that to get the zombies to come up the stairs one at a time. As they did I killed them, my character was panting and weezing in fear the entire time. When there was one or 2 left another player ran up and killed them, helping me out. I stayed with him for a bit but neither of us had a mic, so we couldn't communicate and we split up. I went back to the warehouse to look for stuff. I found some rifle and shotgun ammo but I didn't have a gun that could use it, as well as a toolbox, which I didn't know what to do with. I climbed up to the roof but was followed by zombies. By this time I had been hit a few times and lost some blood. As the zombies came onto the roof, I shot them until I ran out of ammo, and then I jumped down onto lower roofs until I got to the ground and ran. As I was trying to get away from the area, another zombie started chasing me. I ran for quite a while, I'd say for over a mile, picking up a few more zombies along the way. My character was dying of thirst and I just decided to stop and get eaten because I was sick of running.
I think it would be more fun to travel in a group, but I don't have a mic and don't feel like buying one :ninja: .
Putting my PS3 to rest for a minute and revisiting some classics. RE: Chain of Memories and Lost Galaxy. Lost Galaxy is actually better than I expected. As far as Chain of Memories goes, well, let's just say I've never spiked my controller from the living room to the kitchen before. I was doing good until that bitch Larxene started throwing around lightning and the damn difficulty jacked up to level 9. Then there was Captain Hook who had like 300 cards in his deck and don't even try to combo the guy because all he plays are 0s. And then Riku. Emo, lame, boring Riku who has this pissant little deck but can still break your cards. Hate. This. Game. But damn do I love Organization XIII.
I beat Alice, the final and hardest bonus boss in Devil Survivor 2. It was tense, but didn't require anywhere near the insane amount of preparation that Lucifer did in the first game. Pretty much as long as she didn't use Die for Me! (instant kill and 100% MP drain to anyone who doesn't have Anti-Almighty) too much, it was a pretty straightforward fight.

That site is awesome!
Playing Uncharted 2 on Crushing. I just love that game.
Came across a whole lot of bodies in DayZ but only found an M1911. I tried to put it in my backpack but apparently didn't have enough room and it vanished. The guy I found it on didn't have any ammo for it anyway I suppose . Still haven't found a rifle. There were only one or two hundred zombies on the server I played on but I didn't run into any of them, which is good I suppose.
Dammit, I had the medal for Sector Y in Star Fox 64 3D locked down, but then out of nowhere the boss managed to shoot Falco down at literally the last second.
Diablo III, Minecraft (Xbox 360 Edition w/ some friends), Minecraft (PC Edition), and Modern Warfare 3. That's about it right now. I have been playing Diablo III the most though.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Gia:
Mass Effect 3. Can't wait to be disappointed by the ending.
People exaggerate. Could it be better? Yes, however, it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, in my opinion. The only issue I have with it is that some plotholes need to be filled, which, the free ending expansion DLC–the DLC that BioWare is saying will fill in the gaps--coming out this summer may do just that.
Most people complain for the sake of acceptance. It's called "mob mentality". People get...more stupid, and hide their actual opinion(s), when in a group then when alone.
Been a while since I did a Gladius update.
Okay, starting , roster changes are as follows:
Lost:
Ludo (due to storyline stuff)
Gained:
Urlan (main character)
Eiji (main character)
Female Secutor
Male Dervish
Female Samnite
Undead Legionaire
I just reached the fourth and final region. After I am finished here, I will return to Imperia for the High Tournaments. But before I compete there, I will be revisiting each of the four regions again, to complete battles and sidequests I missed or couldn't do the first time, as well as to fill out the rest of my roster. I also will most certainly need to level up more to get the best equipment possible.
One of the best things about Gladius in my opinion is that since not every battle must be beaten to proceed, you can do things you haven't done before if you need to do some grinding, which makes it a lot less of a boring, repetitive chore.
I went through a few towns in DayZ before getting to a larger one. I had to crawl across fields of zombies to get to the town, but then I tried going into a house to look for supplies and a zombie saw me. I shot it inside the house which attracted 25 zombies to me. I managed to kill all of them thankfully, and after looting a few more houses I crawled through more fields of zombies to get out of the town.

Beat it and you're right. I however believe in the indocrination theory.
Making great progress with my pokemon Silver challenge.
When i'm done i'll probably start a Nuzlocke on either Red or Sapphire.
been playing phantasy star universe and minecraft 360
Just finished my Uncharted trilogy marathon to platin all three games (had Crushing mode on all games left). I hope I can get motivated for finally finishing GTA IV ^^
So I had a Winchester in DayZ today but found a CZ, sniper rifle, and decided to play differently this life. I took the sniper rifle and went into a town. I alerted a zombie and ran into a building up to the roof and the zombie followed me up there. I took him out with my M1911 which alerted more zombies. I ran out of ammo with the handgun but more zombies were still coming up so I switched to the CZ, which in hindsight wasn't a good idea. The second I fired that thing I could see all the zombies from the surrounding countryside run towards the building I was on . I quickly ran out of ammo with the CZ and tried to escape by letting a lot of zombies get up on the roof with me and then as fast as I could, climb down the ladder. There were zombies blocking the exit down there though and I died.
Been playing Dragon Dogma and enjoyed the hell out of it. Has anyone else here gotten it?
A cute little mobile game with cute little knights, archers and mages.
Why is it so addicting?
I recently bought a tablet so I'm playing tons of android games, mostly tower defense. As far as console games are concerned, I've been playing Max Payne 3. I really enjoyed the story. There were some genuine surprises to be had, and I highly recommend it.
I just beat Need for Speed: The Run for at least the fifth time. It's one of probably just about three good games that I have.
Upon a friend's suggestion I'm trying out Shantae: Risky's Revenge for the first time. Haven't played the first Shantae game before but I'm liking this so far.

Have you ever tried the mod-versions for Emerald (Emerald Enhanced/Emerald 386)? Always bothered me that you have to trade so much to get certain Pokemon but you can get all of them on these roms :ninja: anyways - Nuzlocke there is even more fun since you get kind of frustrated that you miss out on more awesome things. Weird, but yeah.
Just started playing DQM (Dragon Quest Monsters) for my old GBC again and I still think it's one of the greatest games ever produced. Anyone else played/playing this???
Playing LA Noire and I'm terrible at it.
Metal Gear Solid 2 on the HD collection
I literally forgot hot much I loved this game. Never played 3 or Peace Walker so that should be alright when I get to it.
Playing Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue. It's pretty good.

Still Oblivion. I'll probably collect and write down my thoughts about it along with my feelings towards Morrowind and Daggerfall. Is there somewhere an appropriate thread I may post that if anyone's interested?
Bought Assassin's Creed Revelations on PSN. Haven't gotten all that far, but it feels just like the previous ones, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
Max Payne 3 and it's fantastic. You can feel the force of each shot you fire thanks to the animation engine and it plays so well. I'm going to be sad when it ends. Ten hours in and I still haven't beaten it, which is a pleasant surprise as I thought it would be shorter.
Finished Oblivion. I was honestly surprised at the ending. Pretty nice. Overall, another game onto my do-want list.
Started Skyrim. Ughn, why did they have to change the menus? Oblivion was so comfortable… well, I'll get used to it. The absence of class is weird, but not an issue.
Finally got to play Kingdom Hearts BBS, beating it on proud mode but Vanitas Sentiment is ridiculous.
Right now I'm having my second go at the Lookout Point DLC in Fallout 3…got owned last time. I've really got no new games in playthrough right now, but I have started GoW after I played GoW3 a couple of months ago.
Waiting for The Walking Dead game episode 2 to come out!!!!
Since Sony gave a pretty great deal for Plus Members, I'm enjoying Little Big Planet 2, Warhammer 40k: Space Marines and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD.
And this week I should get Lollipop Chainsaw. Damn, it feels good to have enough games to choose from.
Pikmin 2 on Dolphin and TF2.
Currently playing: Skyrim, Silent Hill Downpour (playthrough #2), Magic 2012, Diablo III, and Minecraft (Xbox 360 edition) w/ friends.
Been playing BF:BC2 multiplayer. Some TF2 as well.

Actually him and the other optional boss are bullshit in terms of difficulty. Not hard or challenging. Just cheap and not really fun.

Yea, I was enjoying the fact I could beat in a rather low-level Ventus and Aqua' stories, even having to retry numerous times. Now, I'm not enjoying it anymore. I've decided to put it on a break.
Playing Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Togheter, the remake one.
Since I don't have access to my computer now, I tried playing Max Payne 3 on my laptop. To my surprise it runs at about 20 fps on all lowest settings, I didn't think it would be playable but even if it looks terrible it is playable. I don't have a mouse though and the touchpad is annoying :ninja: . Also some simpler games like Crayon Physics and Frozen Synapse.
Currently doing a 100% run of my all time favorite game Psychonauts.
This will be like the 14th time I've beaten it once I'm done.
Stopped Bastion because I really need a controller for that game… Also played Guild Wars 2 beta recently and Witcher 2:EE finally. Plan to play Psychonauts and Super Meat Boy (for which I will really really need a controller though).
ever since my friend downloaded minecraft on my 360 i've been addicted to it.
mine mine mine
build build build
mine mine mine
build build build
i can't stop.
League of Legends
Where you fart where you burp and burp where you fart.
Watched Metro Last Light's E3 demo and it made me want to play 2033 again so I reinstalled it. Messed with the settings a bit and got it to 60 fps, last time I played it it was running at somewhere around 20-30 fps and jumping around because 4A apparently doesn't know how to code in DX11. Can't wait for Last Light, especially the new gas mask mechanics.
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. The treasure hunting sections are a lot more annoying than I remember them being.
Playing Persona 3: FES. It's pretty good.
Taking a break from AC: R for a bit. So I went digging around in my PS2 games for something to play. I came up with Burnout Revenge. I remember loving that game, so I'm gonna give it another playthrough.
