Super Mario 3D Land, Kirby Return to Dreamland, Modern Warfare 3 when my friends want me to play it, Skyward Sword next week, Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes from the 4000 microsoft point card I got. I think it's safe to say that I'm really into games again these days.
My monitor is still working quite nicely. Been playing a good bit of Dawn of War. I'm seriously to the point of cranking the computer difficulty to "Insane" and still winning, especially when playing with a friend of mine. I think the computer AI must not be very good because the idea that I might actually be good at an RTS game is inconceivable.
Terraria was on sale. I bought a 4 pack and gave a few copies to friends I play lan games with. I'm hooked and at least 2 of the others are too. I blame Ryan.
Similar to Mario, I'm a bit behind with Mass Effect and have been remedying this. Just beat the first one actually.
I dunno why but Side Quests in Space Games always seem to just overwhelm me (Except KotOR for whatever reason). While I'm normally a completionist, I pretty much just powered through the plot on this one.
I should stop expecting games to have JRPG lengths. Unless they're JRPGs they never do.
I'm so torn! I really want to just play the main story in Mass Effect, but the side quests are decently compelling and well-written that I enjoy going through them as well. But they have no impact on relationships! GRAAAH DECISIONS

Yeah, I think now that I've finished it I can probably go back and do all the side quests and stuff; Now that I know what I should expect from the game and all.
I got Saints Row 3. Since Saints Row 2 was so amazing, it's... kinda hard to find anything but negatives in this one. A lot of the negative stuff seems to be less the fault of the developer and more the fault of publisher interference, such as an "online pass" code included in the case that you are required to enter in order to unlock co-op multiplayer (in other words, if you buy the game secondhand you are not allowed to access this mode unless you go online and purchase a new code from the Xbox Live store). The instruction manual is two pages, and you are expected to go to the game's website to read the rest. And this game is very, very DLC-heavy.
The worst thing about the game itself, though, is that they completely changed all of the controls for no discernible reason. I had no complaints about the control setup in Saints Row 2, and... several about the SR3 controls. Like the fact that there's no longer a way (that I can find) to quit out of an activity. Also for some reason you can't rotate your camera view while piloting a large aircraft, which makes backing it up and getting it to the runway very difficult.
I don't want to be totally negative about this game, though. It's still a Saints Row game, so it's still very fun. I really like the new city, I like that unlike other recent games, this one has text that is large enough to read on an older television, and I like the new system of purchasing skills and leveling up your weapons and vehicle performance. There are now plenty of things to spend the in-game money on, unlike in Saints Row 2 where you would be a multimillionaire partway through the game and never have to worry about cash again.
Y'know I had actually tried play Vindictus again. Hadn't touched it in 5 or 6 months, but I've discovered my beloved level 50 character was hacked into at some point so all my gold, equipment, materials, and other miscellaneous items have been stolen. This is apparently almost an epidemic with this game. I figure I should probably mention that here in case anyone else ever played that. Words of wisdom, keep your game passwords strong and preferably unique from your other passwords. Just a warning.
Yeah, Nexon in general is pretty bad at security. I've never been hacked, but I consider myself extremely lucky, as just about everyone I know has been.
A friend got Bioshock 2 real cheap and gave me a copy. It took me a couple hours of work just so I could play the game at all. The windows XP Games for Windows Live installer was not much appreciated on my Windows 7 system. Also, I'm hoping it's not too important to have actually played the first one.
I bought AC Revelations when it was on sale for 50% off a week or two ago. I played about three hours of it, then got bored and decided to download a bunch of Fallout New Vegas mods. Been enjoying Fallout more. It's worth noting I already had 70-80 hours logged from a while back.
I'll get back to AC eventually. If I don't kick my Bethesda and/or/kinda Obsidian habit. I still need to complete more quests in my latest mage in Skyrim...
I've been playing the Torchlight 2 beta. I've had a lot of fun. I've built a rather unusual berserker and it's paid off. I think wandserker is a little op.
Comments
I didn't bring up any consoles to college with me, or any computer games that required disks for that matter...
But, I have not had a huge amount of free time to really do much gaming so its not a huge deal.
SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS
I THINK LIARA LIKES ME
AS IN LIKES ME LIKES ME

Relationship status update: Tali's my main squeeze now. Sorry Liara.

So many tons, not even a ton of elephants could lift it... Which I guess it probably just like one elephant... or maybe half of one... hmm...
Edit: Wow, so apparently it's more like less than a tenth an elephant. Epic fail.
