Both me and Christo bought Super Meat Boy for Dr.Ears at the same time so I transferred mine to DDay for randomz.

So that's at least 3 members of GW who are gonna go mental over SMB this Christmas.

Oh such wit.

In other news I just completed Mass Effect. Due to the lack of spoiler tags I shan't say what decisions I made but I think I made the right ones.

Very enjoyable. A bit like Deus Ex in the respect that starting the game is incredibly tedious but when it gathers momentum it is truly awesome.

Been playing Spiral Knights, pretty fun, but I'm not a big fan of the system they use to limit game play(DFO and Vindictus do it better imo).

If anyone want to add me, my name is Iggins.

I finished playing Assassin's Creed II recently and just started playing Final Fantasy XIII. I'm a couple of hours into the game, probably 6 or 7 hours or so, and I think it's safe to say that it's one of the worst games ever conceived by man.

Bad Company 2, because it was on sale on Steam. I'm enjoying it so far. Multiplayer is definitely what it was made for though, Conquest is a hell of a lot of fun.

Not too sure if I'd be able to play with you guys, which kinda sucks. My ping might be super high, being in New Zealand and stuff.

picked up the fallout new vegas expansion DEAD MONEY.

it's pretty good, but it has some ups and downs. the characters in it are really outstanding. you get three followers you get to switch between using, and all are extremely interesting. the general idea of the story is pretty neat too, although i found the location flat and generally uninteresting, which held it back as a whole. some of the gameplay mechanics they introduced specifically for it were pretty neat.

kinda hard to really talk about it without spoilers, but the expansion really just goes for the survival horror angle, when that probably wasn't the most appropriate approach for the story. there's a lot of interesting ideas present with all the characters, and the fact that the story is just about survival manages to negate them all. there could have been a lot more interesting conflict, but it pretty much all gets washed away from what i've seen. not finished it though, so maybe they remedy that towards the end, but what i've played thus far could have really been substantially better with a different approach.

i'm still having a good time with it though, although it's not the sort of thing i would really enthusiastically recommend.

EDIT: one thing i do really like about it is how much the story is built on seemingly inconsequential shit you heard during the main game. a couple inconsequential things you heard about during the main game(if you talked to EVERYBODY like i do) become key parts of the story during blood money. it all feels very convenient, but it's interesting to see it all happen. doesn't feel quite so out of the blue like the fallout 3 expansions did.

i am so mad that this is 360 exclusive because iirc it originally was gonna be on ps3 too >​

i'm still mostly just playing new vegas but i picked up windowsill from steam and if you dudes haven't played it grab it because it's under $2 right now and even not on sale it's like $3.  it's just an interesting little physics-based puzzle game, the sort where you get no explanations you just start playing with things to make them work.

Beat Penumbra: Black Plague. Underwhelmed by the ending but I thought the game was still really well made.

Started Requiem.

you probably aren't missing out too much. like i said, the dlc has some outstanding characters, but a lot of other flaws that get in the way of it being a particularly worthwhile experience. nobody out there is calling this some CAN'T MISS GAMING or anything. the positives outweigh the negatives, but only slightly. there's a lot of junk time in there.

also it's really difficult compared to the rest of fallout. i probably died more times in dead money than i did in all three of my new vegas playthroughs combined, one of which was hardcore mode. i totally had a VVVVVV experience in two of the rooms(back to back), where i died about twenty times each. i never found fallout particularly frustrating, but this game did a pretty good job of touching the outer limits of what i can tolerate in a game without smashing things in my general vicinity.

is this the only dlc that's going to be xbox exclusive though? the way they handled this one on the basic level(interesting characters, new gameplay dynamics, vastly different locations and atmosphere) makes me think that at least one of these dlcs is going to be genuinely outstanding if they keep at it, since they approached it the right way more or less. the fallout 3 dlcs were still really in-line with what happened in the rest of fallout, but dead money was fundamentally different from anything else in new vegas, and the freshness of the new approach was what made the dlc as good as it was, even if the content itself was fairly shoddy for the most part. the rest of the dlcs might get pretty interesting if they keep breaking genres like this and trying new stuff out. kinda validates the whole idea of dlc, since it's not just an expanded map but a genuinely new experience relative to but not irrevocably linked to the original. feels more like dropping your fallout avatar into a new game rather than just expanding the original. even with the failures of the game, this was a great idea, and i hope the others follow suit to some extent.
