I've been playing Dark Souls as of late, I've completed the game about only 2 times now (I'm so slow). The multiplayer is still very laggy but I've been able to mostly compensate for it.

@shadowgrin Right, but let's not turn this into a political discussion. :lol: I could also add that Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Amin, Lenin, and Obama oppose our right to bear arms.

Don't worry about it. It's inaccurate. Your not cool either way.

I love how you played a few games for less than two hours and then said forget it. Might as well not even count Time Gentlemen, Please! ,Codename Gordon, and Frozen Synapse.

Most of those games were only played to get Steam achievements for last year's winter sale.
People always notice how many games in my Steam library are unplayed, well I say they are just jelly of my Steam library because I got some of them from hat trading in TF2. Poor hatless people.

Just finished Far Cry 3 and I loved it! :) Probably the only game of 2012 that held me back to playing even though I was finished with its campaign. I mean it's too FUN :) Hell I loved BO 2, I certainly think that it is the best Call of Duty game I played. Started at 2 :)

Now I am playing Walking Dead. AND MAN! I'm loving it! Although I feel like I'm limited out with the options :(

Trying to finished some Steam games that I have the patience to download and wait. Metro 2033, Star Wars: KOTOR and Cave Story +. Maybe it will take me a year to finish some of this.

After an estimated twelve years of not having a CPU that is good enough to play current games I got one for Christmas.

Been playing a lot of games recently and it's really fun. Far Cry 3 is sick. Haven't played such a cool game for quite some time (because I couldn't). Some of the things you can do in the game are a total revolution for me, because the last shooters I played and appreciated were the likes of "Deus Ex" (first part), "No One Lives Forever" and "Unreal Tournament". (I don't count GTA because it's not a first-person shooter).

Mass Effect 1, on my way to Ilos. For some reason Liara is now my Shepard's chick after playing her and Ashley. I may have missed something. Perhaps I picked the wrong dialogue option.

But perhaps I did pick the right choices for alien chicks. There's still hope.

NBA 2k13.

Started up a new My Career after my old hard drive crashed and everything went to shits. I created a 6'8 Athletic SF. Im gonna have him be a Gerald Wallace type player. I am already pretty good at rebounding and intangibles like help D, steals, and setting good picks.

Being an athletic SF, playing freelance offense seems to work best for my team that is the Raptors. I just set numerous picks that open up several holes in the defense and I try to find open spots from where I can attack or make a nice passes. Every moment I get a chance to set up for an offensive rebound as well since my defender isnt in good position to box out while helping out on picks i set at the 3 point line

The SF has always been the cheese class in MyPlayer. The AI is more forgiving about just handing you the ball on offense and on both ends you get free reign to zoom in and grab boards and not be boxed out with animation by the AI.

Plus only occasionally do you guard anyone who's difficult to handle with the default athleticism ratings.

They are the equivalent of Pixar's in terms of making good animated movies, except for the fact that they do it in old-school style of animation in which case is in 2D.

If you watched/seen/heard of Spirited Away, you can see the similarity of the characters design of it from Ni No Kuni.

I didnt know that but it wont stop me anyways. I love playing this way. Anything can happen on any possesion. Also since I am 6'8 and athletic, the retarded substitution patterns of the coach dont have much effect on me. I can be in at Center and still have a fun time trying to guard a big guy. And on the other end, I can run around on the perimeter and sneak in for offensive rebounds because the Center guarding me is slow as fuck. It becomes unintentionally fun because of the challenge on the defensive end and my advantage on the offensive end.

Just the fact that I have the ability to score, rebound, assist, steal, block shots, run a fastbreak, post up down low is what I love. Every other position limits what you can do in some categories.

This is kinda how I play in real life. A bit of everything. And it is really fun playing with the same mindset.
