My Ps3 had been slowly downloading a demo of Lightning's Return all year. It just popped up the other day "Download Complete". Obviously my PlayStation is never on and the wifi sucks regardless.

So I played the demo. I'll put it on my christmas list. I want it for my FF collection, but I'm not in a hurry to throw money away.
 
Got a new VISIO Smart HDTV 40 inch. LED. 120hz. for under $400
Now I can play my PS3 whenever I want! I put it in the basement so I could turn up the volume.
Oh, and I got FF13: Lightning Returns, so that's nice, something new to test out on the TV.
 
I just started Disgaea 3, despite owning it for at least a year. I needed a game to start that doesn't involve Star being around and wanting to watch the story unfold. Besides, Disgaea 1 & 2 WERE favorites of mine. I clocked over 200 hours on D1 alone. Har har har. Had a level 9999 succubus. :P

Awesome Bro

I put over 700 hours into Disgaea 3, you're going to enjoy it methinks, some of the cast are just brilliant, not going to spoil anything for you though, lol... you should also pick up Disgaea 4 afterwards too!

Had a few bucks in the Steam wallet so I picked up Tomb Raider. So far so good. Skype chat keeps thinking I'm watching porn. I can understand why.

Still enjoying Driveclub. finally passef jbrist! So im happy. Definitely going for the platinum

Haven't played it properly since the first few days after getting it lol, although yeah, I'm going for the platinum too, seems like it'll be fun and easy (The game is actually really fun regardless of what others have said, don't you think?) although a little time consuming maybe, but meh we'll see... either way I'm getting it, lol.
 
Been playing some TF2 again with my brother.

Bloody brilliant game. I have like a billion buttons on my gaming mouse, I bound one of them to bind sentry and the other to build dispenser, makes an excellent attack engineer game when you can dump down fast sentries whilst in a fire-fight
 
Finished Lightning Returns.
I made it to day 10 on normal mode before I got game over. I wasted 3 days looking for numbers on the wall and didn't use the chronostatis ability often enough to stop the clock. Started a New game+ on easy and beat the main quests in 7 days. I didn't bother with the side quests after that, just stayed at an Inn to move time forward and fought the last boss.
 
Just got GTA 5. For 360, mind, for which the shop assistant looked quite shocked. Before he'd told me "we got no GTAs" sounding EXACTLY like the guy from Come Fly With Me. Exactly like.
 
Playing Shovel Knight! It's so much awesome. Also, has anybody around here heard of King Arthur's Gold? It's an online red-vs-blue type team game played with knights, archers, and builders in some crazy Minecraft/Lost Vikings mashup. And it's awesome. And I'd love to play with somebody I actually know instead of getting mad at strangers who don't know what they're doing :smile:

I picked up Ghost Recon Phantoms again since I'm a big fan of the series. People tend to say it's pay-to-win thanks to some of the higher tier weaponry available exclusively via microtransactions, but I disagree. For one thing, the stat boosts on those guns are minor; like, edging on negligible. The biggest reason you would want the things is for the vanity options like barrel wraps(?) and the like.

Which brings me to the second thing. Equipment comes second to strategy in that game anyways. Given that it's a tactical third person shooter (it's a Ghost Recon game, damn it), smart movement and good use of class abilities will trump weapon damage differentials any day. Unless you're trying to snipe with the starting M24. That thing blows.

I get that it's Ubisoft and they have a reputation for shitty business models, but I feel like people are using that as an excuse here.

Man get a hold of me if you do. I don't know if EU and NA users can play together, but if they can, we can form a squad and just steamroll.
