I received Monster Hunter 2 Freedom as a gift, and I can't stop playing it. That **** is addictive.

And speaking of addictive, I'm still working on games of Disgaea 2 and Diablo II.

Recently I've been torn up between CnC3, San Andreas (both offline and on) and recently Portal on the PC, and FFXII: RW for the DS. I WAS playing Mario 64 DS until it decided to delete my saves after every bloody time I turn the DS off.

I picked up Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for DS, and it's been taking up the majority of my time. I'm surprised someone managed to "console-ize" a rogue-like successfully, but they did. It's still not at Nethack or ADOM level of awesome, but it works for a portable game.

Also, Crysis, which can now run smoothly at High settings with my newish hardware and ohmygodit'ssobeautiful.

And a game store just opened up a couple blocks from me, and I managed to snag an unopened copy of Assassin's Creed for 360 for 20 bucks. I have a sneaking suspicion it was mislabeled, but whatever. My 360's not at my apartment right now, so I haven't tried it yet. Tonight, probably.

And WoW, but that kind of goes without saying at this point.

Wait Lazlow, you too play Diablo II atm? Which Realm and username?

As you can guess, I'm playing Diablo II, I'm also playing Soulcaliber II and I'm playing LOTR: RotK for PS2. Also, I'm playing poker quite a bit recently, but that's not video games.\

Btw, I'm USEast, MythrilShotgun.

I'm on a FFIV DS binge right now. I've actually gotten way behind in my summer class because of it.

I finally finished the first FF two days ago (what a surprising pain that was!), and have now started on FFII, because I have the one disc-compilation for the Playstation.

I've been playing a heavy amount of Tetris for the Gameboy, too. It's really fun to encounter new music while playing it...but the terrible thing about it is that now I'm daydreaming about playing it. blink.gif

Let's see.... Pokemon Ruby. Yup, I'm bored. I also got Tales of Symphonia on Ebay a while back and I started another file on that. 10X experience and mania mode! I also played on FFVIa for a while but I got disgusted at my own stupidity and gave it up.

I downloaded an XBox Live Arcade game called Braid. Think Super Mario Bros, except that you can reverse time. It's really friggin sweet. It's a puzzle game in which you actually collect puzzle pieces. It has the most bass-ackward plot I've ever seen, and the ending will forever and permanently warp your brain. Perspective really is everything.

I just finished that game a few days ago, but I have to disagree about the plot. I thought it was so pretentious and "artsy" that it had absolutely no substance whatsoever.

The gameplay was still really great though so I'd reccomend it.

I am currently playing Final Fantasy IV on the DS and Monster Hunter Freedom 2 on the PSP. Most of my gaming future is mapped out for the next couple of months, too! I'll play those two games until September 16th, then Dragon Quest IV on the DS until October 21st, then Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on the DS until November 25th, then Chrono Trigger on the DS until I pick up some games for the holiday season. I am going to have one very busy DS in these next few months....

Currently have a Nethack game on the nethack.alt.org server going.

Sailor Moon RPG has been tabled. Demon's Crest has been nearly beaten, but also tabled. (I've gotten both of the non-optimal endings.)

Was playing a D&D game with some friends, until I left college. Also irregularly played Mao (the card game) with them.

Recently picked up and finished (within a few hours) Syobon Action (a.k.a. "Cat Mario"). Also discovered the whole Cheetamen running joke, in the process of noticing that its music and the music from this video were similar.

Started playing GridWars 5.4, out of boredom.

Metroid Prime now tabled, because I don't have access to a GameCube anymore.

Currently trying to find an online D&D game to join (3.5 preferably, and preferably over IRC rather than by forum post).

Also currently interested in figuring out what to do with my life.

Just finished my first play-through of FFXII. Ah, how that game pleased me, and since I didn't get into a lot of the optional material, it'll definitely be worth another play-through.

For now, though, I'm trying out Wild ARMS 3. So far, it's not bad.

At the moment, I'm playing through Kingdom Hearts again and I'm trying to get all of the achievements for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance on the 360.

I can't wait for Dragon Quest IV on the DS. It got absolutely screwed over for us here in the US, considering it will be roughly a year since the original Japanese release. Even Final Fantasy IV DS had about an 8 month wait before it's US release. Dragon Quest IV is one of the few I haven't played completely through (I played for a little on an NES emulator), so I can't wait to play it on the DS.

Edit
It's hard to believe that Dragon Quest IV is getting a European release before it's US release. Sure, it's only a few days, but it's definitely worth noting.

Well, I recently beat Chrono Trigger, which I loved, and this week I started playing Xenogears, which I am also enjoying a lot. Previously to these two games, I'd gone through a really long RPG-break. Life just wasn't the same without me playing an RPG... oh man I sound like a looser biggrin.gif

Currently Playing : Final Fantasy V
Most Recently Beat : Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Favorite Game : Final Fantasy X


The newest CoNcast is up! Have a listen!

Probably will pick up Suikoden V later on.

I'm playing FFIII DS and so far it's been fun. Except that I died and I hadn't saved for a long time. They should've put save spots in places instead of just saving on the world map.

I'm also playing Ragnarok Online, RebirthRO. It's a blast, I've made new friends and I started my own guild, which is kind of sad, but it'll get better.

Lately, it's been almost exclusively Warhammer Online. Rolled a runepriest (the best healer in the game, and worst damage-dealer), and have been healbotting my way through dozens of keep sieges and scenarios. This is the only game where I like healing. It's weird.

In what other free time I have, I'm replaying Half Life 2 (at Ravenholm), Hinterland, Duke Nukem 3D, and Mega Man 9. MM9 is officially kicking my ass, too.

Wait until you get to the final dungeon. THAT'S the spot where saving becomes a serious problem.

I finished Dragon Quest IV DS about a week or two ago, so now I'm back to Diablo II. I have a tanking Barb at Act II Nightmare and I recently started a lightning Sorc, who's at Act III Normal. My goal - beat Hell with all seven classes before May of next year. That won't be easy, considering that I've never taken an Assassin, Amazon, or Paladin beyond Act I Normal.

Of course, Diablo II takes another break in a few weeks, when Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia comes out. That game takes precedence.

Right now I'm trapped by Disgaea DS, I'm over half way through episode 3, I would've been farther but i accidentally deleted my old file, which was in episode 5. Its a really good game, and I would recommend it to all yall members out there.

Haha, yeah, but I was surprised they kept that feature (or lack of) in the remake. Makes it more of a challenge though~

Just completed Legend of Dragoon. I liked the end boss. The good old days when the final boss had a crap load of forms and needlessly extravagant transformations. =D

Now I'm playing Odin Sphere. It's... so so. Original system, but damn are the areas generic... and repetative.

Hmmm... not the most effective assassin I've seen. wink.gif

I'm in episode 5 at the moment and well, I've been having too much fun with other battles to continue.

Also, when Eclessia comes, it will be MINE!!! flag-olly.gif

Syphon Filter 1 was a fun game. My brother and I had a blast takin' turns on that game! As for me, I've gotten back into playing Phantasy Star II and IV via the SEGA Genesis Classics for the PS2. Phantasy Star III was fun and a great game for what it was, but I had more fun with II and IV.
