I have post game blues now. Just finished assassins creed 3. There are still a few side missions and achievement left but meh. Will maybe do it one day. Arkham asylum is calling
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Got God of War: Ascension for 99c when I traded in a couple of games. Just about to start :ab:

Fun game, but I prefer Empire TW because Naval battles are fun.

Currently playing:
Dragon Age Origins
Fallout New Vegas

My computer probably couldn't handle that. I have to play 5 year old games. I'll snap a pic of all the games I can't play because of my old computer. :teef:

I got another email telling me that my Quake Live account was about to expire after 180 days of inactivity. That game is still really fun, but I always seem to play it for a few days and then forget about it again. Anyway I've been jumping and shooting like a crazy person.

Playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. An expansive RPG with a nifty combat system Written by RA Salvatore with artwork from Todd McFarlane. Brilliant but flawed. It's a pity the development team went under. I'm sure given the chance they could've made something great.

I gave Ni No Kuni another go and it's still pretty boring so far. Also it has a very juvenile feel, like it's geared toward little kids. That's not a bad thing in itself, but it's off-putting to an adult player. I never got that feeling playing any of the Zelda games, for instance. They were colorful and cartoony, but they felt more like all-ages games as opposed to kids' games. Playing this game makes me feel like I'm watching the Teletubbies. It makes me uncomfortable. It can be funny and cute, but it's just not meant for people my age :?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

Playing CoD MW3. Played 4 last week and is pretty meh compared to this. Awesome game. Bit stuck at the moment though. Taking a break before the controller goes flying

I'm still playing Ni No Kuni. I still don't like it all that much, but I'm determined to get my money's worth before trading it in.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
