Ugh... want Dead Island, Space Marine, and Deus Ex, so bad, but I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy any more games until I pay off all my credit card debt (let's forget about loans and whatnot for now...) - which thanks to my car breaking down without warning recently is pretty high. $1,302 left to go...

[behndy]

gah. yeah, take care of that CC debt first. shit's a monster.

i..... am torn on whether to pick up a copy of Resistance 3 or a Korg Monotron today.

[My name is Mudd]

Korg.

[behndy]

damn you. DAMN YOU HARD.

seeeeeee...... saving up for a Maschine (people's need to buy my STUFFS), so i don't know if i should be dropping $80 on a toy when i kinda need to grapple $300 more together for the Big Necessary.

........ still gonna go to GC and play with one for a bit today i think.

[Haki]

What STUFFS? I can easily think of multiple combinations of your pedals that would get you $300.

[Rygot]

Been playing Dead island on PC. Yeah a bit buggy but they are fixing it fairly quick. That and its just fucking funny even when things mess up.

Waiting anxiously for Guild Wars 2 and Battlefield 3.

I haven't been excited for an MMO since I played WoW back in the day...

For real man! Super excited about GW2, cautious about BF3.

I can't even play Guild Wars anymore, even though I've never beat any of the expansions, I've made so many characters and beaten the core game so many times that I'm just burned out. The game feels a bit dated at this point although I still appreciate its uniqueness among MMOs. Rollin' a necro again in GW2, hoping that it won't result in me pressing 1-3-1-3-1-3-1-3-1-3-5-8-1-3-1-3-1-3 for every battle and occasionally getting one-shotted at random.

Sucks that bots can do pretty much my entire job as minion master, even though I like MM...anyway, GW2 looks much improved.

Battlefield 1942 is what got me addicted to PC gaming. There's lots of good memories associated with that game. BF2 was disappointing...Bad Company 2 is entertaining with friends but it's not a "real" BF game. I'm really hoping BF3 isn't just Call Of Duty With Tanks. Playing the alpha seriously sketched me out though.

Futuresailors awaits Planetside sequel.

AW YEAH
I LOVED PLANETSIDE. Love/hate, really...

There's so much wasted potential to Planetside that it's infuriating. I reinstall it a couple times every year.
I'll definitely play PS2 until I eventually uninstall in a fit of rage.

So after spending nearly all of my gameplay thus far with weapons that would have been great about six levels ago, I get the good fortune of finding a random "rare" axe. It does almost double the damage my shitty common knives and stuff are doing, so I sell all of them except for one which I'll keep around to throw at traps and stuff.

So I encounter this big zombie, toss my useless knife at him as an opening attack, beat on him for a while and when he's at 1% health, I throw my super sweet axe at him for the kill. I walk over to his body, retrieve my crap knife and......and where the fuck is my axe?!

It disappeared. The only weapon I've had so far that didn't make every fight a battle of attrition where I duck and weave, whittling down zombies forever. Weapons aren't supposed to disappear like that.

HHNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG

that just made me want to play Morrowind again.
ahhhh.. the good ol' times.

[behndy]

hurrrrrrrrrm. Korg Monotron sucks balls. and like it's sucking balls for the first time evah. not even any good Ball Sucking Skeelz on display.

kinda some cool stuff if you never plan on using it outside the house. but...... meh. the EMX does everything it does wayyyyyyyy bettah.

galoomph. i'm actually gonna play through Resistance 1 & 2 over the next few days i think. tide me over, think i'm gonna have the scratch for the Maschine by Wednesday, than i'll pick up El Tre.

Dead Island doesn't really do much for me. i get way less time to play online than i used to, so i'm usually all about a good in-depth single player experience that'll make me want to play through it two or three times than revisit it some years later.

Speaking of Morrowind, I freaking can't wait until Skyrim. Oblivion and Morrowind both stole scary amounts of hours. Skyrim promises to do the same. Especially with these videos coming out today: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/09 ... more-73556

Haha I know.
But I don't know if I'm lucky or unfortunate for having a century old computer.

There's always Fallout 3, in the interim.
