More and more Skyrim....and then more Skyrim...

I am not going to play Terraria anymore because hardmode is ridiculous. I have 59 defense, a goddamn bat should not be doing 40 damage per hit.

ME3 Demo, part 2: Multiplayer mode.

Yes, it has multiplayer. Co-op horde mode, like Gears of War meets Resistance 2. Pretty generic. Still, can be quite fun. You can be a Krogan soldier and beat the piss out of everything, which is pretty much what I did when I played it. Krogan Soldier also doesn't have the stupid rolling mechanic that causes so much trouble.

The problem with the rolling mechanic is inherent in the control scheme. Four different controls are mapped to the same button: use, sprint, cover, and roll. Three of these are essential movement keys with very different functions. Sometimes you want to roll and hit a nearby button. Sometimes you want to sprint away and find yourself attached to a wall (for a brief second or two before dying). Frequently, you want to take cover and instead roll face-first into the wall, which can result in your standing up again into the line of fire or rolling past your cover and right out into a wide-open space. If it weren't for console controllers ruining everything like they always do, I doubt the problem would exist.

finally, a runthrough where I get something other than total sh*t



Here I am having cranked stats like mad.  Full damage and attack speed lazers with chocolate milk.  woo

So there's no way of separating these actions and reassigning the keys?

I don't like console ports.

They are generally pretty easy, but that's obviously not the case when you have to fight 5 bosses to get a bomb and half a heart

Just got Killing Floor during a Weekend Deal.  Really great game and a pretty ridiculous steal at that price.

Just picked this up and will start it after dinner.

Uncharted 3.
Held off for a bit to keep personal hype/bias aside...but needless to say Naughty Dog has done it again.
Guess it's not groundbreaking or even different from the first 2, but just so well done. It's been brilliant thus far! What a great game, and what a great series.

And I have decided to call it quits with building my collection for now. I now have all the Resident Evils for the Gamecube, some Star Wars games and Star Fox Adventures (which was one of my all time favorites).
So glad all this old stuff is so cheap!
