Oh yeah. SoM2 and I spent a few weeks kicking serious Lego butt a few months back. Loved every minute of it and can't wait for the next one!

Hey, did you know you can download Mechcommander and Mechcommander 2 at mechcommander.org? And it appears to be, like, perfectly legal and everything. I'm installing 1 tonight, I played 2 ages ago, and thought it was pretty rad.
Oh, and I just went on this epic quest to get the original Fallout to run on my computer, and I just got it working a couple of nights ago. (Moderately) Retro gaming here I come!!!

Last time I actually played a video game, "Mickey Mousecapade." I STILL can't get past the damn ocean round! (The furthest I've ever gotten was to the crocodile.) Yes, I only have an old-school Nintendo, and that's all I want. I play that once every six months, tops, as it is.

I picked up Company of Heroes today, and have not regretted it so far. Very, very slick RTS with an authentic Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers-style setting. Blowing stuff up is cool.
I'm pushing hard to get my little gnome in World of Warcraft up to 60, in preparation for the expansion due out ~November. Still fun. Any game where I can make flamethrowers, exploding sheep and sunglasses as a side profession, I'm sold.

Oh lordy, I loved Viewtiful Joe. I shouldn't have traded it in. I should actually pick it up on the cheap now that the Cube's nearly dead.
SO much fun. A movie themed, ultra cheesy superhero with film related superpowers (slow mo, dramatic poses) and a rogue's gallery of silly villains. Argh, I miss it!

We have the same view on video games, for the most part, and that is cool.
Yeah, I haven't played the second one yet, though I do have it. I actually started playing the first one a lot and then just stopped. for some reason I just don't feel like I have the energy to play a video game anymore, especially with games these days. I always just get too unmotivated. It's happened with RE4, Half-Life2, Viewtiful joe, and ocarina of time. argh!
So now to my currently playing selection: pac-man.

Still chugging through in WoW, but I like to keep my gaming diversified. Yesterday I spent a few hours with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and actually got really drawn into it. I forgot how much I liked Mario RPG, and while TYD is pretty cutesy and colorful, it's also inventive and pretty fun.

I finally decided to install Space Rangers and Space Rangers 2 after buying them about six months ago, and have found both to be veritable wellsprings of opportunities to die a lot without ever accomplishing anything.
That, combined with open-ended gameplay that's a little too open-ended (read: Fly around doing nothing, then get killed by pirates! Whee!) and poorly-translated text that quickly loses whatever charm it may have started out with, makes for a fine waste of hard drive space.
Where are you Freelancer sequel?

I forgot how much I liked Mario RPG, and while TYD is pretty cutesy and colorful, it's also inventive and pretty fun. I love Paper Mario, and Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG since the original, I think. The only reason I've stopped playing is time constraints. Me and RPG's are just not on speaking terms right now. But I do love it. Have you done the "professional wrestler" part of it yet? Better than it sounds. Where are you Freelancer sequel? God bless you, my boy. |

Anybody playing Neverwinter Nights 2? I'm thinking of switching my modding allegiance.  |

Well, I got the Wii going on. Twilite Princess is my one player experience, with a smattering of Metroid Prime on the 'Cube emulator. I've bought Madden for it, but I can't get a second controller, so I haven't even opened it yet.

Anybody playing Neverwinter Nights 2? I'm thinking of switching my modding allegiance. I asked for it for Christmas. Right now I'm almost paralyzed with gaming choices, coupled with a severe lack of gaming time. WoW just released a new (pre-expansion pack) patch of awesomeness, and we're just counting the days down to January 16 when that bad boy hits. *cough cough... i'm sick... can't come into work today...* Paper Mario is pretty fun, but I'm just playing it in very small bites. Bright happy colors = bright happy Justin. I've heard great things about NVN2, especially the story campaign, so I'm sure I'll be plowing through that sometime soon. At least there aren't any really promising MMOs on the near horizon. Even if Firefly is supposedly going to be made into one... that won't be for a LONG time. |

I'd like to retract my earlier scorning of the Space Rangers games. Space Rangers 2, at least. Now that I've finally figured out how to do stuff, I'm spending way too much time with it.
Still, the learning curve is such that by the time one acquires a basic understanding of the game world, one is so far screwed it's best to just start over. And that's kind of annoying. I think either the game needs to be more intuitive, or it needs to come with a manual that isn't approximately 4,000 pages long and doesn't feature translation every bit as abominable as its own.
