I am terrified that if I buy Starcraft 2, I will do absolutely nothing else for the next month.

Singularity is good.

It's a fun game.  You'll roll your eyes on some of the dialogue, but the way the whole thing hangs together is quite a good time.

I'm pretty sure I've expressed my vote before at what an awesome lady you are.  You remain so!

I'm looking for a new RPG after playing Vampire Bloodlines to death...

Any suggestions?

Does it need to be retro like Bloodlines?  Have you installed the BL content patch that the community put together (I'd assume so).

yeah, I had to because of the bugginess of the release version, and cos I'm running Win7 64bit. The patches work really well, but they're still a little buggy.

Doesnt have to be retro... just a good RPG is all.

I've been playing Gothic 3 for weeks now.

If you're looking for PC RPGs, there aren't many.  Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2 seem to have a reasonable story line if you're into Sci Fi.  I've heard a lot of positive stuff about Sacred 2, as well, which is Fantasy.

Wasn't Dragon Age: Origins on PC also?  It was okay.  And Oblivion.

Ok I never played Pokeurmom but I thought this was neat:

 The Tale of the Creepy Pokemon Hack- DS Retold Version

Speaking of Youtube and vidja games, a video I made related to gaming recently spiked at 65k views in one day. I was all excited and called up my parents and after a half hour of putting this event in context for them my excitement was all diminished and now my parents think I am wasting too much time on the internets. That's all they talk about when I call them. I agree with them but for entirely different reasons.

I recently finished Metro 2033 and now I've been playing Arcania and Fallout New Vegas. Fallout NV feels more like an expansion to Fallout 3 than a stand alone game but has a few different monsters slightly improved physics and a different storyline.

I tried to install a pirate of Fallout NV... I failed, big time.

I really have NO clue as to what im doing... mount run patch I understand these terms... but.. ~sigh.

METRO 2033 crashed big time about half way through, then I learned even the retail versions were crashing. I tried all the fixes available online and nothing worked so I just left the install for a couple of weeks then bam, it started working again. I think it has something to do with the FFDShow codecs and the intro movie.

Call of Duty Black Ops got a lot of press. I liked it alright, finished it over a week ago. Fairly short, maybe that's why you get to play as a zombie killing JFK after the credit roll.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is awesome.

I just got COD: Black Ops for Christmas.  I am in love with the Galil and the PM63.  The Famas isn't too shabby in hardcore Team Deathmatch, either.

Duke Nukem Forever blows goats.

So does Dragon Age 2 so far.  But I could only stomach it for an hour or so before I stopped, and haven't had the will to pick it back up again yet.  Been too busy playing with my new Android phone lately, anyway.

To be fair, there's very little that could have lived up to my expectations for DNF. It's been what, 15 years in the making? The person that Duke 3D was marketed to in 1995 has grown a little more jaded and world-weary in 2011. I give them points for actually finishing the game, but like all updates I can't help but cluck my tongue and stroke my beard. I wasn't a big fan of Doom 3 or Fallout 3 either...

...OK I take that back kind of. Fallout 3 is good if you imagine it's a totally different game. I was really hoping for the Van Buren kind of sequel that they had teased us with but instead we got something that is totally new. Novelty is probably a good thing in the end, but I'll always reserve my right to gripe and gripe.

I hear LA Noire is rather good... pity I dont own an XBox or PS3... and dont really plan on doing so either.

As for DNF, it's much like The Phantom Menace. Throw all you effort at churning something out, but dont pay much attention to the actual story. It's just an updated DN3D.

I liked Fallout 3, but Fallout: New Vegas was a lot better, though a bit more buggy at times.  It's the same engine as FO3, if that was your problem, but regarding the atmosphere and themes, it's a lot more "Fallout".  It's less inclined toward min/max'ing then FO3 was, also.  Not as many skill points per level and fewer perks, getting one every other level instead of every level like FO3.  They also borrowed a lot from Van Buren for it, too, like Ceasar's Legion and the expansion of the NCR.  Even the DLC is better than FO3's DLC was.

As for Duke Nukem Forever, I never played any of the first DN games, so I have no expectations for it.  But it's not in my gamefly queue yet, either.  LA Noire sounds interesting in theory, but I've heard that it's largely boring and just a big showoff of technology that no one really wants.  Kinda like the Kinect.

I just played Infamous, which I liked a lot.  I'll probably pick up Infamous 2 sometime this fall/winter.  I even liked the cut scenes, which is a rarity for me.  Usually I either skip them or leave the room to do something else while a cut scene is playing.   

I usually like open world games, unless the game play is really fucked up.  I also like games that incorporate the RPG-ish element of level up/add skills. 

I don't mind Dragon Age 2, but it's not as much fun as I expected after playing Mass Effect 2.  The load times bug me.

I bought Uncharted, too, but haven't been able to get into that at all.  Too much cinematic garbage and talking.

I might or might not have a copy of Gran Turismo 5 coming down on Sunday.

I wouldn't mind trying Infamous if they'd port it to the 360, which they won't.  I played Prototype, which is similar, and I really liked it.  The game was a lot of fun if for no other reason than grabbing random people down on the street, parkour-running to the top of a skyscraper, then either throwing them away to watch them hilariously fly off into the sunset in WTFville, or eating them and turning into them to run around on street level for a little while.  Fun game.

I guess I was the only person in the world disappointed by Mass Effect 2 and its watered-down plot and dumbed-down RPG mechanics.  I mean, it had its fun moments, but it was just lacking.

I liked the story in Mass Effect 1, but thought the game play was pretty clunky - in particular, all the time you had to spend with that stupid rover.

The story in Mass Effect 2 wasn't as good, but the game play was improved.  I agree on watering down the RPG elements - I think maybe that's why Dragon Age 2 ended up being not quite as watered down, leaving in ability points.  I like the element of Dragon Age 2 that I don't have to try to worry about armor for my companions (since I never use a consistent party), just purchase standard upgrades for everyone.

Well, I loved the rover, but I have a hell of a lot of free time.  I can see how others didn't.  And yeah, I guess I have to admit that ME2's gameplay was a bit better, and from what I've seen in the tech demos ME3's is going to be even better, but where ME2 to me played like Gears of Effect, ME3 looks like Mass of Duty.  Dunno.

hehe "Mass of Doody."

Ok, I finally gave up on Dragon Age 2, and I've been playing Minecraft for the last few days and have gotten WAY too much into this damn game.  For something so simple, it's addictive as all hell.

I think I've come up with a clever way to mine obsidian on a mass scale.  I think I'ma make me a house out of it.
