    Love me some League of Legends! That and I just got done playing Dark Souls. I tell you what, if you have underlying rage issues that game will surface them QUICK.

    OMG!!! Dark Souls pissed me off so bad!!!
    Is there even a way to freaking beat it!!????
    BULL ****!!

    <--- beat dark souls and demon souls. Award?

    Residant Evil Pisses me off

    I definitely wondered where my trophy was when I finished Dark Souls. Also they haven't made a good Resident Evil game since 3.

    I'm in the middle of three games right now. Whenever one really gets to me I switch it up. Currently playing Dragons Dogma, X-Com Enemy Unknown and Icewind Dale II on my PC.

    I'm actually also part of a couple of table top gaming groups that still get together and do pen and paper RPGs. Rignt now we are playing D&D 3E Call of Cthulhu which I've actually found out a way to win at. :)

    I did say it.
    Shall I say it agaiin?

    Who is this Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeroyyyyyyyyyyperson? I'm in UFO but keep popping back to Skyrim to check on how Lydia is coping without me

    Legend of Grimrock was special - especially writing a diary about it on Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

    Somehow, writing about games is more fun than actually playing them..

    I only know the Leeroy jenkins reference b/c my husband was addicted to WOW. Until he realized he valued his wife and child at least that's why I think he quit. He says he got bored with it! :):laugh:

    Love me some games. I used to play a lot of MMO's, but I haven't been able to get into one for a while now. Maybe FFXIV 2.0 will appeal to me. But, for now I'm playing:

    Diablo 3 - PC
    Torchlight 2 - PC
    Halo 4 - 360
    Borderlands 2 - PS3
    Skyrim - PS3
    The Walking Dead - PS3
    Heavy Rain - PS3
    FFXIII-2 - PS3
    Flower and Journey - PS3 (when I'm feeling really relaxed)
    Super Mario RPG - SNES

    Thinking about buying the Naughty Bear Gold Double Pack game off the PSN. It comes with the original Naughty Bear Gold edition, and the new Paradise Island game, along with all the DLC.

    For video games I'm more of the solo RPG type Mass Effect, Dragon Age etc. Heard they're making a Planescape: Torment sequel and I'm stupid excited about that.

    I played Magic and AD&D for awhile and then lost free time and have never gotten enough back to kill several hours a weekend with buds. I shed tears for this loss.

    THE ORIGINAL LEEROY JENKINS!

    hahah, okay I guess there is a way to beat it, I gave up and traded it in.

  • Skyrim took my soul and spirited it away into some dark pit of existence. I've been playing it on and off and its been hard for me to start on anything else.

    I was a fan of old school RPGs on the NES, SNES, and early PS platforms. I noticed that with the advent of CD-based systems, however, the way those games played out shifted in a way I did not like (bigger emphasis on graphics and cinematics, less emphasis on story).

    In 2005, built my first high-end gaming PC from scratch and have been a dedicated PC gamer ever since. It started out with WoW, but that got old in 2007. I sold my account shortly before the Lich King expansion came out and never looked back, because the game just wasn't structured in a way that catered to people who played mainly for PvP and didn't want to participate in endgame PvE. So I then left WoW for EVE, which was the total opposite. The game is all about PvP and there is very little in the way of high-level PvE content to be had. Everything is built around PvP. It was fun for a while but the game encourages you to play that takes it WAAAAAY too seriously, and when most of the people who play those games take it that seriously, the metagaming ruins the fun of it.

    In any case, I have since then stopped MMOs entirely as I have realized you can't really get anywhere in them once you reach endgame content unless you're willing to make serious sacrifices in your life to devote the time to it. And I'm just not, anymore. I can no longer play a game that requires me to schedule my gaming ahead of time and devote blocks of hours at a time to it, so I stick entirely with first person shooters and RTS games, as well as traditional RPGs. My main game right now is BF3 and I'm probably gonna be picking up MoH:WF sometime in the near future. I tried the COD games and cannot stand the playstyle. I think the whole killstreak system is broken and ruins the fun of the game.

    I like lots of games. The Zelda franchise, Almost anything Sims is an addiction, Old games like Dragon Warrior and FF1, Cute stuff like Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Star Wars The Old Republic. My bf got me to try swtor, he thought it would be cute for the lil lady to play at his computer since I'm more of a console gal. I was shortly hooked and kicking butt with multiple characters. Now we play together as Siths and go on daring adventures together, its kinda romantic, no?

    How far in are you? Developing better weapons and tossing scopes on them helps.

    I haven't got to grips with this yet - still doing the tutorial. I loved the original but got very upset whenever I lost troops so would reload and try again to keep everyone alive.

    Hated those Ethereals.

    The tutorial forces me to lose all but one of my first team so I don't think I'm going to enjoy this game.

    Turn based aren't my thing. Thanks for the warning on Xcom!

    Still an avid WoW player, love Dragon Age and have many other games, but in my limited time (I'm also in grad school), when I have time, I default to WoW. I also love the dance games for Kinect (Dance Central and Just Dance) and use them for exercise. I can play for hours trying to beat my last score without even realizing the passage of time!

    My current addiction is on the Xbox360 and it is Battlefield 3. I do own Black Ops2 but I am sort of sick and tired of that style of Multiplayer action. I do love me some Red Dead Redemption, GTA's, Fallout 3. Am looking to start Skyrim and Mass Effect. Going to work, school and being married with kids absolutely kills my game playing time so I work on games very slowly.

    Exactly why I quit playing WoW.

    I don't game much at all anymore. Maybe some 2k13 or Madden heads up versus my bro when we are together.

    I may be being unfair - when I get into it it may be possible to keep few more with me after each mission.
