I'll tell you what I'm not playing, Eternal Sonata. I finished it last night and jesus fucking satan, I can see why people hated it. Forced, meaningless fetch quests, overly bland characters, a plot that moves at a snails pace, a combat system that could've been interesting but is completely repetitive and shallow, a pretentious plot that turns into an utter, convoluted mess in the end, and the worst boss gauntlet ever created in an RPG. I'm sure the voices were annoying as well with all the kids present but I turned those off to make the game less painful (I think I'm going to start doing that from now on with my jrpgs).

Shame, as the game has some really good looking environments and some good music. The idea of playing a game through the mind of someone's dying moments could've been cool but is turned into a completely useless plot point. Thankfully I'm done with it and now can move onto better things like:

Bionic Commando Rearmed and NES- Playing through the hard mode in Rearmed along with the NES version.

Galaga Legions- The more I play it the more I like it. One of the most unique shooters I've played in years.

Probably Mass Effect- I have a save file near the end in which I never finished. I got burnt out by amazingly designed side quests.

Final Fantasy PSP- Still trekking through with my three white mages with one life. I will probably be done this weekend.

and maybe some more Angband...maybe

I'm also looking for suggestions on another masochist like run. I'm thinking about doing Twilight Princess with 3 hearts and one life. Wasn't a big fan of the game the first time around and have been wanting to give it another chance.

Someone help me decide my priorities:

WoW
-Level my 30 Rogue as fast as I can to get to endgame before WotLK comes out so I can fuck Arthas in the bum.
-Level my 11 Druid as fast as I can so I can get to endgame before WotLK comes out etc. etc.
-Reroll again and make a thread for another EB WoW guild that doesn't suck dick

Warcraft III
-Play and beat both RoC and Frozen Throne before WotLK so I can familiarize myself with all the lore and throwbacks there are sure to be.

Diablo II
-Play and beat Diablo II and LoD so I can get ready for D3 whenever it ends up coming out.

I CAN'T DECIDE.

Playing some TF2 probably. I'm done with the heavy for a while since I've got all the Heavy unlocks, so I might go back and try to pick up some more Pyro and Medic achievements.

Also, I'm replaying the Half-Life series. I played about a third of the way through Half-Life 1 last night, and when I get through with that I want to play through Blue Shift and Opposing Force.

You can probably skip Opposing Force. The first third is great but later on the game basically becomes Duke Nukem, which is pathetic. Blue Shift is a must, though.

I'm a huge Ratchet fan, I have all of the console versions and I got a PS3 in time to day 1 ToD.

I really can't recommend QFB to anyone. It's got to be sub 3 hours, there are like 3-4 things to do in 3 repeated environments. GUns are just handed to you at random for free. There is no need for bolts because there are no ammo shops and you buy like 2 things int he whole game. The actual gameplay is really rough and glitchy for some reason. There is zero replay value. It's even shorter than you probably expect it to be and it really feels it.

AFAIK you can't even change your triangle menu weapon layout.

Just replay ToD.

I would agree with this for the most part. I enjoyed it all that, but I can't really recommend it to others for $15.

Played a lot of CoH last night (mostly getting my ass handed to me) then I played a game of RA3 and handed someone their ass. I then finished off the night with some TF2. Today I'm definitely going to play more CoH and TF2 and probably some RA3 as well. IDK, it's kind of hard to be impressed with an RTS like RA3 after playing an amaaaaaaazing one like CoH. We'll see.

Wild Arms 3... finally busted open the shrinkwrap on the game, that I got for Christmas 2002. Just played the 4 characters' openings so far, and I'm really liking a LOT about it so far... aside from the world map. Too many encounters on the world map. What's the general consensus on this game?

Soul Calibur 4. At the last floor of the tower. Been close a few times to winning, but not quite there.

Too Human. Co-op is where its at, I'm telling ya. Just make sure you're both the same level.

Age of Conan. Burnout approaching! Uninstall imminent! Heh, well maybe not quite that bad, but the world in that game is getting nastier and nastier. I'm less motivated to play than ever.

i like it but like you said, the encounters are annoying on the world map and you have to search for towns which is more lame.

some puzzles are hard too and the graphics are bad.

Yeah I thought it was pretty underwhelming (although it was less than a 3.2GB download). Played + finished this morning, didn't mind the length because the level design was uninspired and repetitive. The wrench stuff wasn't really fun, and the way they integrated it makes me think it's just going to be used in the next game as a device to frustrate players while platforming, and not as a way to have new and interesting types of puzzles and broaden the gameplay (although it was used in a shadow-casting "puzzle" I thought was cute). I would have liked it if, instead of adding this additional "task" into platforming they pared it down, allowed the player to retain control of the camera, and just made platforming more challenging in its own right. All in all I have to agree, it felt janky and wasn't really worth playing.

You can deal out only so much damage to that boss in each segment so don't bother trying to shoot him too many times in a row. I found that out the hard way.

I had to bring the copy of The Simpsons Game back to Blockbuster because the disc was all scratched to hell and my 360 couldn't read it. I asked for a different one and even though they had 3 other copies, they were currently checked out (WTF?). So seeing how the game is so short and easy, I thought I'd give it a go on the PS3. Shouldn't take me very long to get back to where I was.

I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me or what but I was kind of struck how there doesn't appear to be any AA on the PS3 version. Either that or it's running at a somewhat lower res than the 360 game. It's not as noticable as GTA4 but there definitely appears to be a hell of a lot more shimmering on the PS3.
