Sadly I don't think I really have anything to return. That game is worth too much to just give away. If I ever think of something I have that you might want then I will definitely relight the flame to this tantalizing deal!

Currently working my way through A Link Between Worlds. Embarrassed to say that I am stuck in a dungeon and not sure what to do at this point. I am terrible at Zelda games but still have fun playing them. Well most of them.

That's not embarassing, killa. I got stuck in ALttP back on the SNES. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Nintendo is really fuck-all with their consoles. I went to download the Bravely Default demo and the process all but gave me a rectal exam. Reminds me of Apple products. I actually do hope Nintendo fails and has to be a 3rd party developer. What is in place right now makes me want to go homebrew and steal their shit. Sometimes I just want to play a friggin video game goddamnit.

Replaying The Last of Us a third time. Not sucking me in quite as well as the first two times, but I'm still enjoying myself more now than I do with 99% of games on the first playthrough.

I get stuck in almost every Zelda game at some point. In the N64 games it's almost always at the part where you get your horse. No matter how many times I play them I can never remember how to do it

I think we were recently discussing that somewhere, how nice it would be to reapproach certain games as a "blank slate" and experience the wonder of playing them again for the first time.

The cream rises to the top.

The parts of both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask that hang me up are both exactly the same, and for the same reasons: the Water Temple in the former and the Great Bay Temple in the latter. I wish that the N64 Zeldas had the same swimming mechanics and physics as Super Mario 64. Ocarina of Time's swimming mechanics were just frustrating and made the Water Temple torture. Majora's Mask did better than Ocarina of Time in that regard but I still didn't like Great Bay Temple.

The cynic in me says Nintendo would rather give up the home console market and just develop for handheld gaming than give up their 1st party-ness.

Alright so maybe I shouldn't feel so bad about my Zelda issues. Going to get back to it tonight for a bit before I head to bed. Hopefully I beat this dungeon im on and make some progress.

Finally beat The Last of Us. I enjoyed the second half of the game a hell of a lot more than the first half. That winter chapter was pretty incredible. I really enjoyed the story and characters. The ending was kind of jarring, but it definitely left me wanting to play another game. Might give new game + a try, because I played the beginning so long ago, I don't really remember it.

Also, I really should take this game off my 'most disappointing' list from last year. It was really just disappointing to me, because I had such a hard time getting into it.

The realist in you. The cynic would applaud a new CoD and AC every year. Whatever else you are sees things as they are. The idealist would appreciate circumstance. The obligatory self-ejaculation is where Nintendo stands and why they will probably fail.

Try and figure out a Twitch thing you, me, and Kay can do on Steam. This sort of topic is made for it. Like, everyone else here is fun too, but this shit would be epic. No offense to the smart and talented people here: just think the previously mentioned are entertaining fuckwads.

I beat Tearaway last night and that is a fantastic game. The ending was really great. I'd put it higher than Ratchet on my Top 10 list but I like Ratchet games too much to do that.

Now I'm going to attempt to get the platinum for Uncharted Goldend Abyss, but after that I will return to Tearaway to attempt the platinum for this game.

I asked about the Twitch things in the twitch thread and no one got back to me spiddy.

"So what? There's google." You'll say. To which I'll reply: "I'm a lazy son of a bitch, spiddy."

So there.

My first suggestion would be to hold your hands in front of your face and count your fingers. Just to he sure your thumbs aren't in your ass like it sounds like.

Beat Tearaway. Great game. Felt they could have done a lot more with the concepts they had, but the ideas were so strong it was still a lot of fun. Felt a little bloated, but in the end, the artstyle and gameplay just made me smile and that's what really matters.

The music towards the end of Tearaway was really awesome. Anyone else feel the same way?

Got the Golden Abyss platinum. I still might wait on Tearaway though, so that way it feels fresh again.

Man, I forgot how massive Mass Effect 3 is. I've been playing it for 23 hours now and I've only made a small dent in the overall story.

I decided to keep my Gamefly going. I sent myself a gift certificate, so it ended up only being like $12-13 a month for the two game plan. I have Kirby: Return to Dreamland coming in. I also decided to get God of War HD collection. Going to start playing through them all as I've never made it through the whole series.

I worked late last night. Not really due to the ball game I cleaned up after but the 2 hours I spent on Limbo (Vita). Damn good game. Not a fan of big-ass spiders, but still...

God I hate that spider

It's terrifying because it's not "FUCKINGSPIDERRUNNINGTOWARDSYOU" but just this, quiet, "tick tick" of it's horrible legs and...GUH. So well done, but so god damn scary.

I've been playing DmC or Devil May Cry or whatever it's supposed to be called. I'm actually enjoying it a fair bit. For a while at the start I was worried it would be some lame angsty teen game sort of deal but I really like the style.

Also I've given up on backloggery since it was way out of date after I didn't have a computer for a while.

1. Never get Limbo.

Check.

The Vita is the only platform that I'd play it on. I tried the demo on the 360 and I hated the way it used rumble for the controller (making that moment where you're trapped in the spiderweb WAY worse).

Killzone: Shadow Falls is downright hard at times. Feels like I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, and not normal.

I started up Kirby: Return to Dreamland. Played three worlds. Fun game. Didn't care much for the water world, but otherwise really good so far.

Yeah, so Blood Dragon is badass. Thanks to Greenie for recommending it and Trip for reaffirming how good it is. You're right, Greenie: This game is so in my wheelhouse I feel sort of stupid for not having it on my radar.

Started playing The Walking Dead on my Vita today sitting in the dark with headphones. Seems like it might be mildly scary doing this. We'll see.
