What are you playing right now?

I was just playing legend of zelda. I'm trying to beat it without walkthroughs and in one sitting. So far I made it to the 6th temple or whatever but I'm keep getting my ass kicked! Pretty helpful that NES doesn't have that mic thingy on the 2nd controller. It doesn't help that I have a nightmare about polls voice things so I really need a famicom. So after my 30th try at the temple I just said fuck it and paused the game so I can take a rest. And now I'm arranging while visiting ninsheet.

Prototype 2 and Super Mario world

[SuperFireKirby]

Been playing the Elder Scrolls Online beta.

It's alright, but far from spectacular.

Very true.


Super Mario Galaxy....thinking of getting the second (or 3rd for Wii U)

I feel like the second one wasn't as good.  It turned it into another more linear Mario game rather than a "hit each level in any order" thing like SM64.

Yeah, Super Mario 64 was great. I wonder whats gonna come out after Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. 4 are out for Nintendo??
It seems like they exausted all the ideas. They wouldn't dare do another Paper Mario (unless it was as good or better than TTYD) and they are thinking of doing another Super Mario Sunshine.

Phantom Dust for English.

What a great excuse to play games for homework

I'm completing Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode in Borderlands 2, and somehow, it manages to be easier than either of the two previous difficulties (I'm certainly dying a lot less- and generally encountering less trouble- than in my first playthrough ). *shrug*

The only place I've encountered any significant difficulty has been in The Fridge, but then again... that place is just overall unpleasant...

Borderlands 2 would have been the perfect sequel if they had just kept the frickin health packs instead of just the stupid insta-healths.

Every playthrough, I just ran through the Fridge cuz screw that place. It's good if you have a class that heals using its action skill (Psycho, Gunzerker, Assassin(?)).

agreed. Although, it did allow for more inventory storage, which means MORE GUNS!!

No.
I 100% completed Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy after about 35 hours, so now that I'm done I'm going ahead with my replay of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, while also working through an obscure RPG title by Level-5 called Crimson Shroud.

Just played all the way through Megaman 2 for the first time, and FUCK YOU HEATMAN, HOW DO DISAPPEARING BLOCKS EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR THEME

ALSO, FUCK YOU, SECOND TO LAST LEVEL OF WILY'S CASTLE, WHY IS YOUR "BOSS" A BUNCH OF SUPERPOWERFUL, FIXED-INTERVAL-FIRING BLOBS ONLY KILLABLE USING CRASH BOMBS, AND UNAFFECTED BY THE TIME STOPPER

Ugh. As many times as I internally screamed "FUCK YOU" at this game, though, it was still pretty goddamn fun.

[SlowPokemon]

this is only slightly related to what you were talking about but am I the only one that finds myself involuntarily swearing at games

like I'll be playing say New Super Mario Bros. 2 and I'll die and instead of just saying "dammit" like a regular person I'll mutter "fuck you mario"

I didn't even realize it was a problem until I played Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon while someone else was in the room and I said angrily "get your shit together luigi"

That would've been absolutely terrible if the other person's name was Luigi.
