Resumed my playthrough of the entire game library a few days ago. Working on some old PS2 titles. Wow, what a world of difference motion capture makes on animations! These older games are so rigid and painful.

Heh, I say older and they're PS2. I suppose the combination of realistic modeling and unrealistic animation is just jarring in retrospect.

Been playing Persona 3 Portable for the last few weeks, and finally ended the game last night. Damn that was a fine game indeed.

A couple days ago I just finished my second run through A Link Between Worlds. It really is a pretty comprehensive game and I purposely tried to tackle the dungeons in a different order to see which method I preferred. Just based on the fact that they made the game non-linear really adds to the replay value so much!

Finished Bioshock Infinite while my PC was kaput. OMferkin'GERD! it was so good. Now I just need to play the first two. I own them after all, though I can't find the first one.

I started up WW from where I left off a few months ago. Just beat Forbidden Fortress take 2 and met Ganon. I forgot how much awesome this game is.

I forgot to mention that I also started Super Mario 3D World a week or two ago. I am typically only playing on weekends so progress is going well but not super quick. If I played a lot more I am sure I would have completed the game easily by now. It's not really a huge challenge to complete stages, but to be a 100% collector of stars and stamps does add a bit more to the game and can up the challenge a bit with some of the placements.

About to play FFXII. Or maybe FFX. I just picked them both up and haven't finished either. I think I got halfway through FFXII and maybe a quarter through X in the past. Yeah I tend to start things and... wait. What were we talking about?

We were talking about muffins. Seriously though...

Started playing Spelunky after it was on sale this previous holiday season. Fun to play, unforgiving mechanics. I like it.

Umm...At the moment?

Etrian Odyssey 4 (3DS), Persona 4 (been working through this one for YEARS. I just can't commit much time to it when school is in session), League of Legends (getting somewhat decent at it finally), and a few other things here and there not so seriously.

And I guess if you count testing as playing, I'm playing an RPGmaker game I'm working on. XD

I played the FFXIII-3 demo, and I really enjoyed it. The battle system, that is. And the seeming throw-backs to earlier Final Fantasy concepts (Chaos-Mist, transferring souls to another world, time travel in general) - especially Red Mage kit.

I also hooked up our PS2's DDR mats, because the Mrs. wants to get in shape. Cool.

Oh yeah, that reminds me.

Now that our basement is finally mostly fixed up, I can get back to doing DDR. Except that I don't really feel like bringing my PS2 down for that when I still have Persona 4 I'm trying to find time to finish up in my room.

Started up Pokemon X for a second time, and Been thinking about picking up The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series to give it a try for the hell of it. Heard some good things about it.

It's DAAAAMN good.

It's more of a visual novel than a straight up adventure game in my opinion, but it actually gave me the feels. Hardcore feels. ;_;

So yeah, Season 1 gets a huge recommendation from me.

Personally, however, I'm going to wait until ALL the episodes of Season 2 are released before I get them. I played all of season one in the space of 2 weeks and I want to do that again. I don't want to have to wait several months to get the next episode.

I went ahead and got it, Finished episode 1 and I loved it, pretty damn interesting. I'll start episode 2 up in the morning or something.

Revisiting Super Mario All Stars currently, though I just challenged Super Mario World with some pretty intense restrictions:

1.) No Switch Palaces
2.) No Reentering beaten levels
3.) No Star Road
4.) No Flying through levels
5.) No Skipping Castle 3

I broke the challenge only once, when I accidentally picked the wrong exit in the Forest of Illusion Ghost House. It was pretty intense, actually.

I just revisited Bioshock 2 over the past week. I decided to do a hard-mode run, and yeah, early game is pretty damn hard. Though the no consequence for death thing takes away a bit... I suppose if I was a mashochist, I could have turned vita chambers off too, but I doubt I'd have been able to get through the first half of the game. After getting the right plasmids, though, the game turned into a cake walk even on hard. Just... avoid gathering adam. harvest or rescue as soon as you get a little sister, and you'll have more than enough adam to finish the game. I had 200 adam left.

I've been trying to play Farcry 3, but I can't get into the game. Its too hard for me at least my brother is getting enjoyment out of the game.

Yumi's Odd Oddysey! Still calling her Kawase, though. I kind of wonder why they changed her name, but not the others'. Eh, whatever.
The physics have changed more than I expected. The line stretches a lot more than it used to, and it doesn't pull you along the ground much. That's fine, just a matter of adjusting. The 3DS's D-pad is killing me, though... 😛

I've been battling Brave Frontier on my phone. It's a 'Mana' game, and although the storyline is weak and the battle mechanics are too simple I'm finding it to be immensely pleasurable/addictive. It wants me to spend real-world money though which is obnoxious.

Currently doing a run-through of Breath of Fire III. I'm not using any dragon powers and making Ryu a magician. Currently just left Dragnier.

I'm also playing a Final Fantasy Tactics hardhack. Just got past chapter 1.

Going with a Windwaker HD Hero mode playthrough.. Then I got ZombiU. This game is fun! Recomended, but I hope a sequel with multiplayer online is in the works. Safehouse sharing multiplayer would be awesome, even if we would have to deal with reboot drops.

Been playing Blue Dragon on the 360 for the last few days, I'm nearing the end of the disk 1.

I just purchased Batman Arkham City off of Xbox Live for $5. I also grabbed Tales of Vesperia. I have been wanting to replay and finish ToV since I lost my original Xbox years ago. I have been wanting to try the Arkham games for awhile now. can't beat $5!!!

Nearly done with Thief. I think I have one or two chapters left. Great game. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Juggling between Pokemon X (still, finally getting my team up to snuff for the next few areas), One Way Heroics (was on sale on Steam earlier this month, its addicting), Dungeon Defenders (me and Dragon Omega play this together, its a fun little game on 360 that was free with gold last month), and thinking of tackling Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked on 3DS.

Zelda Virtual Console everywhere! Oracle series and Link's Awakening on 3DS and Majora's Mask on Wii. (all of which were purchased yesterday)
