More Skyrim. When I was doing stuff in Markarth, I came across a pompous Thalmor shitlicker and after listening to him talking about how superior elves are to men, he give me a job to find evidence of a Talos worshiper. I steal the guys amulet and instead of turning it in, I snipe the pointy-eared bastard.

I learned that even though I didn't get a bounty, the nearby guards turn hostile as if they were a common bandit. Also killing the hostile guards in public counts as murder so I led them into a secluded area and slit their throats while they were face to face with me (I have 100 sneak), problem solved.

I had a pleasant surprise when the Thalmor issued a death warrant for me out in the field, always good to increase my Aldmer body count. Wish I could collect their ears and make trophies.

Blacklight.

I got started on it and a week later I haven't played anything else. It's great.

According to the internet there must just not be any other emotions aside from "mad."

But you're mad all the time.

Pokemon Conquest. It plays kinda like a Pokemon version of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Already bested the neighboring kingdoms of Fire, Grass, and Water. Fire kingdom battle was fairly straightforward (save for the lava tiles and falling meteors, which actually didn't hit any of my guys in the process but KO'ed one of theirs). Grass kingdom battle was very interesting (grab three banners and you win, regardless of how many you defeat) but took awhile since I fell into a few trap squares along the way. Water kingdom battle ... okay so I was 3 against 4, two Normals + one Grass against four Waters, and roughly equal HP totals between me and them, but Eevee and Jigglypuff (my starters) are tough little things and Carnivine's Vine Whip strikes 3 tiles wide (and when I chose to use it, I landed two one-hit KO's in the same turn).

I actually heard about this game before. I think it was co-developed by the same people who made Dynasty Warriors. (Or Samurai Warriors. I don't remember, I heard it from someone else.)
Sounds pretty cool though, to be honest. I wish I had a handheld console. :/

It is a codeveloped spinoff/crosover, yes (other half = Nobunaga's Ambition, apparently a Japan-side tactical RPG series) .

[ETA]

Conquered the Electric, Bug, and Fighting kingdoms by now.

Electric arena had a large patchwork of 1-tile wide paths and electric tiles (which only Electrics or Flying/Levitating Pokemon can cross) and switches that would zap the metallic floor tiles on the opposite quarter of the field.

Bug arena wasn't particularly trouble, just a few traps here and there and these balls you can attack to kick them around the field for damage. Oh, and almost every opponent has Bug Bite, which steals whatever healing item you might have carried into battle with you.

The Fighting arena though . . . that was awesome. Large room with a small 4x4 fight ring in the middle, accessible only through one-tile bridges on either side. It's also a banner battle, but instead of just claiming all banners you have to also hold on to them for five continuous turns. And if you get hit while on the edge of the arena you're knocked off and have to climb back around.

Anyway, the defending Warlord's team contained a Machop, two Timburr, one Pansage and his powerhouse, a Gurdurr. All five weak to Flying attacks (so I bring in a Zubat and Rufflet), four of them pure Fighting (so I bring in a Chingling and Ralts, and keep my starters Eevee and Jigglypuff on the sidelines while I bring in Shinx and Dratini).

Zubat got KO in one shot by his Gurdurr (in spite of double resistance to Fighting, ouch), but Chingling and Ralts can hit from 3 squares away, and Dratini from two, so I easily knock his team out of the ring. Then I realize that while half my team can just fly/levitate anywhere, but he has to spend 3 turns climbing back around. So I choke off the entry bridge on that side, then start hitting him with Confusion and Dragon Range. Rufflet didn't actually see much action - instead I sent him around the outskirts to scoop up loose items.



So that battle was really, really fun. And to cap it off, the Shinx I brought in in place of my starter Eevee evoled into a Luxio after the battle.

But I'm almost maxed out on warriors ... I have a full 6 in each territory I hold.

What the shit, the thread died.

Lately, I've been playing Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2 with friends, as well as a game or two of Civilization V each day to get achievements and get better and stuff.

 

[Evan of Phrygia]

I have Mother 3 to consider but add Earthbound, TLOZ Ocarina of Time alongside Majora's Mask

I'm not playing Majora until I play Ocarina

I recently played Zatch Bell: Mamodo Battles.
It's a really weird and unbalanced fighting game based off of a silly anime.
It's kind of funny that the most broken character is one of the few without projectiles.
Also, hitboxes are weird because about half the cast is really short and the other half is tall.
There really aren't any extensive combos since you can break out of anything. You have more ways to defend than attack, really.
The game also has a frustrating way of unlocking characters, as you have to buy cards. You buy them one at a time, and it's completely random which one you get. Since you have to get ALL of them, it's really easy to get duplicates near the end.

I was selected to test the LittleBigPlanet Karting BETA. Played a bit and the usual LBP reaction was meh.

 

[lupinealchemist]

Dragon Quest IX. I'd ask if anyone wanted to play multiplayer but DS games don't support my wifi's encryption while my 3DS does. Bullshit.

 

[Anubite]

Me and Sarcastic Coffeecup are playing some DoW II Retribution and Men of War Assault squad, anyone is welcome to join.

Sarcastic Coffeecup and I.

Jesus fuck.

Max Payne 3, killing players left and right with my shotguns. At this point I'm tempted to say "I'm surgical wit this bitch, Jake!" when I kill people with the shotguns. :3
