Playing Act II in Diablo III and it feels like a horrible grind. Just like Act II in Diablo 2. I just want to get out of the desert-biome.

[Darth Marsden]

A Half-Life mod called Cry of Fear. It's a well-made horror mod, but it's also a BIG one, so I'm getting tired of it.

[Chyron8472]

DeathSpank and Assassin's Creed.

[corruptbiggins]

Stacking.

I don't know about Diablo III, but in Diablo II my least favorite area was the jungle in Act III. I mean, come on. The randomly generated tiny little paths are impossible to get through without backtracking a ton and then there's tiny little super fast skeletons everywhere that are a pain to target. Especially if you're a melee character. Or a necromancer.

I'd take Act II any day of the week.

That's why I always chose barbarian & sorceress. Shortcuts.No jungle-biome in D3.

[The Gentleman]

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Sven Co-op
Gmod
Alice: Madness Returns

And tomorrow I'm starting Dead Island hopefully


I record in pretty much all of these games.

[RetroVortex]

Star Ocean: First Departure and Z.H.P

Fantastic games. Just fantastic!

The DS does have some good RPGs but really the PSP isn't exactly lacking in them either!

I just like having my own personal army surrounding me. Or at least a few bodyguards. Hence, I tend to go for the Necromancer or Amazon. And always the Necromancer when I'm playing with Comrade Mortis.

Alan Wake
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Mario Party 9
Wheel of Fortune Wii

[Darth Marsden]

Half-Life + mods (for project #73, I'm writing reviews of HL and all the big mods. Might take a while)
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (not a bad game but man, some of the achievements are evil)
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (replaying, still awesome)
Vanquish (well, I will eventually. I did rent it, after all)

Thief Gold. - Diary, part 1

I love that game. This week I finished the tutorial including finding the one piece of loot, throwing the basketball around and reading all the developer quotes.
After that the wonderful first level "Lord Bafford’s Manor", which was stripped off all loot as well.

And today I just cranked up the gamma to maximum level and made it through the Mines/prison/cathedral level (Break From Cragscleft Prison) in one piece. As a teenager this level and the one that lied before me now, the Bonehoard, scared me silly. Oh those zombies.
Needless to say: this level has no more loot in it left. And all the Hammerites lie unconcious in a dark corner.

Edit: Level 3 is done. That was the first level I needed a video on youtube telling me which pieces of loot I missed (it was a lump of silver and a purse and at least for the lump of silver I am sure that I never got it in my previous playthroughs of that level). This also was the first level that had an obvious change in the gold version of the game. A flaming enemy. If I look bach at it some of the prisoners in the prison level were new too. Especially the female prisoner was obvious.

On to level 4. Assassins.
Edit: So it is done. The mission starts out interesting but I have the feeling they didn't use it right. The map has a huge city area without a single piece of loot. It's all in the mansion. Including almost invisible rings on a carpet and a diamnd in the fireplace. Hey! diamonds can be burned because they are pure carbon. Don't store them inside the fireplace near a flame... Still all loot is mine. Even the diamond before it turns to ashes. Keep your stuff safe or I'll steal it. Also the level didn't change at all from the normal version of the game.
Tomorrow my diary will continue with the "Thieves Guild"-mission. A mission new to Thief Gold. So I actually never played it before.

[Leplaya]

Paper Mario and the thousand year door. Just need to get the approval for to use the cannon.

Thief Gold - Diary, part 2

So today I played the first level that was completely new to me, The Thieves GUild. And it took 4+ hours to explore. It's really HUGE. But that also means the loot is really spread out. Also I had to look up where one of the goals in expert mode was hidden in the game. I would never have found that one. Never. I passed it so many times without even thinking it could be there.
Also consistency problems everywhere. In one of the 2 manors you need to explore you cannot cut down the banners in the other one you have to do that. And again some of the loot is hidden in strange places. But hey, that's normal.
One thing that isn't normal in these levels are the shadows. All of them cloak you less than they would in the normal levels of the game. Hope you got all the water arrows before the mission. You will need them.

Edit:
Mission 6: The Sword
This mission was expaned quite a bit by a new secret area in Thief Gold. Unfortunately they also hid 20 gold in there so you have to find it. It's just a small addition to the game but, again, this is the main reason I bought the gold edition on Steam after so many years only being able to play the standard version. The level itself was a bit of a mindfuck back in the day and even today this is easily one of the strangest houses I ever explored in a videogame.
Well the guards don't mind and gold is gold. Some pieces were again hidden in places I never dared to look. But in this level I found everything without a walkthrough.

[Pony Bone]

I just finished Skyward Sword after 48 hrs of play. Now onto Hero mode...

[Gman5852]

I have started, THE WRATH OF THE LAMB!

[Alcoremortis]

Bastion.

It's pretty fun, but I also haven't the foggiest what I'm doing. I keep smashing things because there are things to smash, but I don't know why.

I suppose the game will fill me in on this sooner or later.

The Narrator not explaining things?

Some things, but the weird crystals that I keep snapping up remain something of a mystery.

Really? I could've sworn the narrator told more about those things at the beginning.
