I've been playing the latest Dead Space, and I have to say, the weapon creation is something I get lost in for hours. Just taking parts off of some guns- like the plasma cutter's rotation cuff- and strapping it onto another part- like the Line Gun, so that I can rotate the 'line'.

I have a pretty new ship. This sleek Khyzon I bought from the real money store without paying a penny. It's an Andorian Escort-and it has Wing Cannons!

This ship means... it's time for me to calm down on playing STO . XD.

Hey Tav, how are the micropayments on that? I've heard bad things.

I have been playing Dishonored, and Scribblenauts, and Devil Survival.

After all that and watching Yahtzees videos I suddenly have a yearning to play DayZ again. Weird. Or Dark Souls. Or Terraria with a Hardcore character. I wonder if I'm not getting enough challenge...

The micropayments aren't that bad. You get the items anyway, they're just an extra... boost up, so to speak.

Lately, I've been playing Bioshock Infinite. Beat it. Gorgeous environments, awesome characters, and one of the best stories in a computer game that I've ever played

And then I've also been playing Doom. The first ones. Which are more awesome than Bioshock, but in a very different way.

So, you mean the micropayments let you get guns earlier?

Hmm, not made by Rocksteady Games... Colour me intrigued but sceptical... Or it could just be the leftover DayZ paranoia XD.

If any of you guys have DayZ come play with me sometime

.

Also, I've been watching my partner play BioShock Infinite, it's definitely a brilliant story so far. Those two are so very interesting.

Also, I advise you all to look up 'FarCry 3: Blood Dragon' on YouTube if you haven't seen it already on CVG.

No much 90's right there, it's scary.

I've started playing Creatures again. I get the urge every so often and boom, Norns a plenty!

#203

I'm worried a bit about the not made by rocksteady too.

But... Batman!

Also, just found out that in Canada, Eb games gets *all* the preorder bonuses for Injustice. I've been super hyped for this game ever since I first heard of it, which is weird as I have never played a fighting game before. But the comic... *drool*.

Seriously, if any of you have the comics app on your phone, check it out.

Even better, played the demo and found I'm better at it than I thought.

#204

So, there's a one stop shop for preorders in Canada? That's really cool! I've seen the trailers for Injustice, it does look like it'd be worth getting.

True, yay, Batman!

.

Did you see the 'Let's Play!' of Blood Dragon?

I played DayZ with a friend today. OMG it was so much less of a panic! We even came across some nice players this time. One of them even gave my friend a blood transfusion and offered to give us a sniper rifle! And he could have shot us from where he was at the time too.

I also fell off the side of a castles steps, set fire to a tent with an AK47 and had my legs broken... by a tree.

EDIT: Oh and you can get Hero or Bandit skins for acting like one or the other for a while.

I'm currently saving up for a TV so I can play Bioshock Infinite. I'm so sick of using the family TV since mine got broken, and I just know that if I play it on it I'll just be annoyed endlessly.

Until then, I'm playing PokÃƒÂ©mon Soul Silver on my DS. Not quite the high-paced action packed games I usually play, but fun as hell anyway! I nearly screamed in joy when I found out they follow you around. It's adorable.

#206

They follow you about? That's so cool! Do all of them do that? That 's the DS Silver remake right?

#207

Yeah it is. The pokÃƒÂ©mon at the top of your party will follow you. It's amazing man. You can talk to them and they do different things depending on their location/happiness/etc. My Gyarados "Playfully head butted me" the other day. I'm surprised I didn't die. XD

#208

I can now say I beat the story of Injustice.

They set out to make a fighting game with a story, and they succeeded. Superman is a powerful villian, and Lex Luthor may be the best dang hero I've played in a while. XD

#209

Hmm, headbutted by a Gyarados? I can see that ending badly, playfully or not lol.

I've found out one of the new-ish guys at my work plays Pokemon too. Yay, now I have another person I can talk to about it

.

Sooo, is anyone gonna get Terraria on Xbox Live Arcade? Apparently it's pretty cool if slightly fiddly, inviting people to a world is much easier, you can play four player splitscreen and there are some new monsters and armour.
