    I'm going back and forth between Elder Scrolls IV and Neverwinter Nights. I've had my copy of Elder Scrolls IV virtually sitting untouched since I bought it last year. Finally started playing a few days ago. Just in time to fall in love with it, and get excited by the Elder Scrolls V trailer.

    Mass Effect 3, Elder Scrolls V, and Arkham City all due around Winter 2011? As if I needed any more reasons to be a homebody during the Winter with all the snow we get in upstate NY.

    Just got Rock Band 3 (using a trade-in of AC: Brotherhood; it was the fella's game and he just wasn't impressed. Especially since the multiplayer looked like a hot mess from what I watched him play), and I've not gotten very far, but damn. It's prettier than the last one, for sure.
    Still keep forgetting to play New Vegas, which is disappointing. That first play-through of Fallout 3... you couldn't tear me away from that controller. I don't know, I like the game, it's fun... maybe I'm a sucker for really emotionally engaging games.
    And on XBLA, there's a free game, put out by Doritos, of all people, that doesn't look too bad. It's called Crash Course. It's just a stripped-down platforming game, using avatars. Reminds me of those Japanese game shows that have people falling off foam towers into water. Still looks fun. Especially for a free game.

    @brittanica I played RB3 last week and had a blast, even though I hate keyboards like poison.

    SO. MUCH. MINECRAFT.

    It's ridiculous how much fun you can have just digging a hole.

    @Fauxhammer
    I've really REALLY wanted to try the keys, but $80 for the peripheral? FORTY just for a MIDI-to-USB dealy-bob for an existing keyboard? Oh, and dear sweet Jesus, MAD CATZ makes it. I've heard horror stories about their products.

    I'm still trying to finish up Red Dead Redemption. Other then that it's mostly Smash Bros with friends or some old PS2 game me and my brother were obsessed with back in the day.

    Fallout New Vegas is high on my list of Want-To-Plays. I also need to get around to Batman: Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2. Also wanted to give Heavy Rain and go as well. So much gaming so little time.

    Is signing up for EVE while working multiple jobs (one full time) masochism, or is it actually a good idea, since I can occupy myself with (real-world) monetary earnings while my in-game skills are learnt?

    @MaC , I really got into Fallout: New Vegas. If you are going to play it on pc use this site http://www.newvegasnexus.com/index.php , its a modding site for New Vegas. Thousands of mod goodness, everything from fort building, having your very own base, dynamic weather with sand storms.

    Just finished New Vegas the other day, one of the endings at least. I'll go back for the others at some stage.

    Now that's over I"m working my way through a couple of other titles I hadn't finished - Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (pretty but rather disappointing) and the last few levels of Mario Galaxy 2. Then I might give Epic Mickey a spin. I've been in a platformer mood lately.

    I should finish RDR and Borderlands at some point but I lost enthusiasm for both of them pretty quickly.

    I'm going to play Cata for a bit.....the pull of being a werewolf drew me in >.>

    Wishing I had: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood (been hearing good things, it looks awesome, the pamphlet was funny), Rock Band 3 (it has a keyboard AND Echo & The Bunnymen) and Black Ops (is my guilty pleasure).
  12.  (9291.52)
    Ooh, Rock Band 3. I know it's got a single-player mode, but for the life of me can't figure out why. Me, my girlfriend, and assorted family break it out not quite every time there's two or more of us in the same room, but close. Dumped the licensing fees on RB1 and 2 songs, picked up a handful more thanks to DLC, and am horribly tempted by a few others I really shouldn't spend the money on.

    I'm hoping for the keyboard for Christmas. :)

    Rock Band is slowly moving away from a DDR-style party game to a band simulator, and I'm finally joining the ranks of people saying "Why don't you just learn a real instrument?" I mean, you're literally playing keyboards at a certain point in difficulty, and they're making a fully-functional MIDI guitar for advanced modes as well. So why not just start a band with your friends that you play Rock Band with? I'm sure you could figure out a way to make practicing as interesting as playing Rock Band.

    Personally, I've been playing even more WoW. I decided to try for Realm First, which I've never done and wanted to try. Three people in my guild got firsts for their respective classes, but I missed mine by a few hours. I still hit 85 in the first 36 hours after release (because I needed sleep in there), and then pretty much crashed. I have no idea how the people that made it to 70 and 80 firsts for the last two releases did it. By the end of it, my eyes felt like they were made of fiery sandpaper, and that was after less than a day and a half.

    That said, it was certainly an experience. I play on a PvP server, so Hyjal was an absolute slaughter, but once I got out of there, no one even touched me. Even when I was outnumbered like 12 to 1. I didn't run into many bugs, and I *really* like some of the new zones (especially Deepholm). My guild downed the new Tol Barad raid boss, and we're scheduled to start raiding tonight. Hopefully I'll go, but I'm a little behind on the gear curve as compared to my guildies. Perhaps they will take pity on me.

    I started Final Fantasy II on SNES a few weeks ago and have about four or five hours logged on that. I have a feeling we might be getting a few 360 games for Christmas (probably stuff like Bioshock and Arkham Asylum, which we still haven't played), so between those and WoW I should be set on games for a while.

    Oh, I just remembered we got Starcraft II trials with Cataclysm, so maybe I'll give that a shot. I played in the beta a bit, but all they had was multiplayer, which I'm not at all interested in with Starcraft. Besides, I still need to finish the first one.

    ETA: Don't tell anyone in power: I named my worgen druid... Worgenellis. I fully expect eeling, but goddammit I find it hilarious. I haven't actually logged in with him yet, but I expect *someone* will appreciate it. Especially in the sea of horrible Twilight references.

    Started working on the character sheet for the RPG I've been working on, HORDE. This is VERY VERY early, just trying to figure out placement and whatnot. The finished version will be much nicer.

    The only thing that would make me play Super Meat Boy is the death montage feature. I'm too slow and too proud to get slapped around so viciously.
  18.  (9291.58)
    and let me tell you, that feature is AWESOME. especially after you die on a level like 35 times

    @ brittanica: I got 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood' pre-ordered for my birthday. The pre-order came with access to the beta of the online game. I played it once and didn't try again. The combination of dull wandering around broken by suddenly dying wasn't my idea of fun.

    The single player game's much better.

    I've been having PC troubles recently, which sucks.

    But now I have finally started Assassins Creed 2. Enjoying it a lot so far...even if Ezio has a tendency to leap off to his doom when I want him to just hop down two feet to the next level down.
