    ^Heard good things about the new Assassins Creed, I still have to finish II although I'm right neart the end. So much better than the first one IMO. @SBarrett isn't there a button you hold or something to drop down at edges?

    Really got sucked into New Vegas this last weekend. Got like 12 quests going on right now and just bouncing all over the place with them. Hell I didn't set foot on the strip until around 40 hours in. I do the Benny mission and now there's still a ton of shit I can do before going after his ass.

    I'm considering a third run on dead rising 2. The custom weapons are a great laugh :D

    Fallout: New Vegas is fun if infuriating given all the bugs, the aimlessness of some of the quest follow-ups; by which I mean you can lock yourself out of later quests or quest options by something that is totally unrelated - you can totally screw yourself over without even knowing it or being prepared for it (like don't kill Tabitha, don't use The King's favor until the NCR quest and so forth; and I'm sort of annoyed that the Hardcore mode apparently only grants you an achievement or something and not an in-game perk, which is what they imply in the beginning. Otherwise it's fun. I like the "subtler" stuff with the interrelational stuff between characters or like the character of Cook-Cook being fleshed out by somewhat unrelated characters, even if "rapist" isn't that interesting a character trait.

    @rickiep00h

    The rate at which some folks on my server were getting server firsts were disturbing. I logged in about an hour and a half after it went live and there was already a bunch of level 85 death knight worgen tooling around, and server first announcements kept coming up while my character was trying to make it back from Northrend (both my good lady and I hit 80 the night before) so kudos to your guild mates and Wogenellis made me laugh, at least.

    @ joe.distort

    35? that falls short for the number of deaths I had on certain levels......I just unlocked the kid levels, and oh boy they're awful....

    I've been really enjoying the multiplayer in the new assassin's creed these past few days. It takes a little time to get into it, because it's really a game about trying to fool the other players into killing the wrong target than it is a combat game. You can get some severe paranoia going when playing with people at the higher ranks that have more of the toys unlocked.

    Assassin's Creed was a game that I couldn't even finish because I lost interest in it so quickly. Is the new one really that much of an improvement over the first?

    @MaC : The second game improves on the first one in just about every way possible. It's a much much better game.

    That's excellent and depressing. I really need to clear some solid gaming time and work through Uncharted II and Batman: Arkham Asylum at least. I really loved Fallout 3 but damn was that game a time sink. I tend to get lost in those kinda open world games just roaming the desert killing things. I remember in the first Fallout I traveled all over the map before really starting the story grabbing a few bobbleheads and some accessible and powerful weapons. Then I went into Megaton and killed and ate every man and women in the town before blowing it to hell. Good times.

    ETA: Don't tell anyone in power: I named my worgen druid... Worgenellis.

    Ahahaha, brilliant.

    Currently playing Mass Effect. I got dragged away from New Vegas by Mass Effect 2 and then after one playthrough I wanted to do a second playthrough, but felt like I should start from the start of ME1 to carry over all my decisions etcetera. Both are brilliant games.

    I'm also getting a Wii for Christmas and I'm excited to find out what games I'm getting with it...

    Just started Mass Effect this week, I've had it for quite a while and just got around to playing it. I'm a fan.

    Also, just started my Wii Fit exercises this week. Something is finally getting me up and exercising, and it still feels as though my old friend video game has betrayed me. Video game told me I could just sit on the couch and veg. LIES! Now I'm jogging and boxing and hoola hooping.

    @Audley - The 85 worgen shouldn't scare you too much--they let people do paid race changes right away. I don't think I've seen a worgen that was started fresh hit 85 yet. That's a lot of content to burn through, even with the changes to the old world and the reduced XP in Northrend.

    Profession firsts, though, that's disturbing. Fishing and cooking both went up in the first hour or so, and skinning and mining weren't too far behind. I was just amazed. And, yes, a little frightened.

    @rickiep00h. You know I never considered that. I've been playing on and off since Vanilla and still consider myself a noob which short circuits the designated whiners in battleground chat when I agree with them. There is so much of the game I still know little about since I spend half the time levelling my alt Lock solely in BG's, since trying to level my main in the new areas is a pain in the arse at the moment.

    I haven't had a lot of time, but Mass Effect 2 is wonderful. The combat is still a bit wonky, but that's not why I play it. I love just wandering around and building up my relationships with my team. The story pushes you around well for that too.

    Just rolled my Goblin in WoW last night. His name is Gilooly (for his penchant for hitting people in the knees.

    Probably worth mentioning there's a second Humble Indie Bundle on sale for the next four days. I already had Braid and Osmos, but isn't that the beauty of pay-what-you-want?
  7.  (9291.78)
    I'll probably pick up Battlefield Vietnam tomorrow, just because most of my friends will be playing it. Games have gotten to be like playgrounds. You'll go clear across town to play in the one with your friends are there...

    For all your WoW folk, I was questing through Twilight Highlands and a big dragon came to visit...

    Deathwing burns Goblin

    Got my Stood in the Fire achievement though!

    Minecraft is going to Beta sometime in the next 24 hours. I'm so excited, I'm hoping for some kind of big update. According to his twitter account Notch has been coding like a madman the past few weeks, so I'm hoping we'll see some more improvements.
