Still balls deep in Arkham City.

I watch Let's Plays of video games like crazy, pretty much my favourite entertainment lately, and I think the best game I've seen so far is Dark Souls. It's like the ultimate dungeon crawl game, pure badass!

The Uncharted series is really good too.

Ayrton, maybe you should try watching a Let's Play of a game, it's like a really long movie video game.

Duuuuude, Ryan. I've been completely addicted on "Let's Plays" too. My favorite Youtuber is GhostRobo. Goofy kid, but I think of him as my little brother now. I think it was actually his "Let's Play Dark Souls" that got me hooked on his channel.

DAMN YOU STEAM!

Crazy holiday sales? I'm pretty sure I'm nearly immune to steam sales now because I've already bought nearly everything I might want.

EDIT: Went to check anyway, portal 2 was like O HAI! For £5 I can't NOT buy it...

Get Orcs Must Die. Get it.

Yeah ok so I did that. Having bought 2 games just now, I have to admit I was 100% wrong.

So far I have beat Orcs Must Die on "War Mage" difficulty. Working on "Nightmare" difficulty now and it is so much harder it's crazy. Also, still need to beat the DLC.

Bastion is on sale on Xbox for 600 points or like $7.50. Just added to my download que but haven't played it yet. It's only on sale today though, so get it because it looks beautiful.

Still friggin grinding Dark Souls.
Truly one of the hardest games ever made, at least if you play as a melee. Every strategy I read starts off with "If you're a mage just manaburn and nuke the shit out of the boss, shouldn't take long"

Got up to Anor Londo and got my ass kicked by the bosses, so I'm spending some time grinding in the painted land place.
Those phalanx blobs give much easier xp than making those forest NPC's jump off the cliff.

43 dex 40 end 25 vit and mostly base wanderer stats for the rest. Grinding up a bit of int for a few spells and boosting hp atm
Will give the duo another shot later...

Strongly considering the getting the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games from steam.

[behndy]

you guys SUCK. bad influences. all y'all.

this pc is meant to be a DAW ONLY. but i just dl'd Orcs Must Die and the 2010 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stuff.

THANKS.

(Orcs Must Die looks like way too much fun)

[Achtane]

The 2nd STALKER isn't so hot imo but I loved the third. And the first with mods.
I didn't think it was that fun playing vanilla when you run up and blast someone with a double barreled shotgun, and they just turn around and light you up.
But with mods it rocks ass.

[Achtane]

Fuck man, BF3 is completely unplayable if you aren't in a squad with your friends. 90% of my team is just there so the enemies will have something to shoot at while we run up and kill them.
It's been that way since BF1942, but the community in that game was so much cooler and you could actually meet people who'd work together with you. Since BF2, it's just dumbasses with sniper rifles all day.

[foomanfat]

Yeah, I haven't even bothered with BF3 because it just seemed like a large scale MW.
