I am primarily playing through Fable II. Games I'm playing on the side are Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

I am also of course a loyal player of Ceil and Loche's rpg.

Daug and I both have shiny new copies of NWN (my last experience with playing was... uh... bad, so I got rid of the game in the move). We have no idea what we're doing, and haven't even gotten out of the first city place that you start out in, but it's fun.

Haven't attempted any online play yet. Mostly still getting killed by stuff trying to figure out the controls (I can do many things, but adapt quickly to game control systems is not one of them >.<)

Other than that, and some Diablo II/LoD stuff ... not much. Unless Knitting was an RPG. Or fixing your house.

Gabby's fault: FFVI
Gabby's fault for making me reinstall it AGAIN: NwN. Still. For years. Goddammit.
My own damn fault: Sims 3. Valerie Songalay has overcome her severe OCD to become a highly paid forensic analyst at the local police department, and in her free time she paints, goes jogging, and tends a garden of eggplants. She harvests eggs from them. She's got some cheeseplants growing too.
Personal isn't the same as important.

I borrowed (working at a videogame store has its benefits) Orange Box for the 360, and I adore being a Medic in TF2, but I hate the console controls, so I'll try eventually getting it for PC when I can eventually put Boot Camp on my Mac (which will be fucking never).

I tried Monster Hunter on the PSP, but I'm either terrible at it or its a REALLY FUCKING HARD GAME. Seriously, I finish the tutorials, then go to the easiest quest in the game, and fail miserably. Its still fun though. Just frustrating as hell.

Prototype looks AWESOME, but not -quite- my type of game. I watched a friend play it for about an hour just tonight, though.

Before Monster hunter took up my time, I was playing FF: Crisis Core on my PSP. Its repetetive, and I really don't understand what keeps bringing me back to FF games, but its a fun thing to take up my time on bus trips or while Chris is playing the DS or something.

I'm getting into Diablo2 again in anticipation of D3 eventually next year. Unf. I kinda suck at it, but not as much as I used to years ago? I dunno. Maybe I just like being a Sorc.

Of course, only trying these new things when I'm sick of working towards various goals in WoW. My mount count is stuck at 78 for a little while.

Just got the last achievement in Plants vs. Zombies and completed Layton last weekend. Started Ghostbusters the Video Game yesterday. The Wii version didn't score as well as the others with its cartoony graphics, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.

I'm resuming my game of Dragon Quest VIII. I need to beat it...as I've been chipping away at it for literally years.
Game's an excruciatingly old-school-style JRPG. Nintendo-hard, is the word for it. Already put in about 40 hours, and I'm probably a third of the way through.

However, despite the datedness of the formula, the gameplay is tight. No pretension in the story, either; the characters are all stock, but very well-portrayed, and it's got some of the best so-bad-it's-good voice acting of any PS2 game (consisting mainly of British television actors and comedians). If you're feeling nostalgic for this kind of gameplay, get it.

I, uh, inherited a couple of star trek model kits. So now it's Star Trek: Armada II, which to say is mostly me modding the crap out of it adding new ships and playing around than actually playing the game.

But the streets of gold i've yet to find
And at the end of the day all you can do is pray
Without hope well you might as well be blind, yeah be blind
Tomorrow comes a day too soon"

Sims 3. Over and over and over and over and ov . ..
So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste.
