Skyrim Hearthfire, the newest DLC. I don't know if I'm so crazy about this one, but will probably check it out at some point.

Wow, this is quite a bit of interesting stuff. I prob won't get it at the PC drop but at some point I will. They added more to it than I thought they would.
Dunno about Adoption but the rest looks fun!

I have the iPod version and I have to say it is not my favorite. I like to earn awards, but the awards for the Europe version are not easy to figure out. As I already posted, I do like the board game version and the handheld version of US.

Epic Madden 13 Intro. I put the disk in, fired it up and was totally not expecting to see something like this! So rad!
Just barely started the game. Lost an online game 24-21 and started a Coaching Career, but the EA servers were down for most of the time, so I didn't do a lot. But, it looks so good! Gonna be playing this a lot!

So I beat The Butcher in Inferno. I know, no big deal, it's been done a million times already, but it did feel pretty damn awesome to take my fresh level 60 monk all the way through Act 1 with no troubles at all.
Then I hit act 2. Oh man, did I ever hit act 2. It's pretty hard. My gear is probably to blame, but I was hoping to actually find some gear along the way to act 2 that would help me when I started the act, but I wasn't so lucky. Looks like a trip to the AH is in order.

Progression then wall... :) Sounds like Diablo to me.
Ive been playing an hour here and there with my WD. Been much more fun lately. Gear is fine and with that I believe I am pretty overpowered for nightmare. Right... Still in nightmare :)
How is Diablo 3? I've heard from many people that it isn't nearly as fun as the earlier ones.

I'm an outlier. I think it's more fun than the others, but for different reasons. Well, I barely ever played 1, but 2 was more addiction than fun for me. 3 is really and truly fun. There are major issues, but the gameplay, the grind, is fun.
I can see why the really hardcore players could have problems with it; it has some major differences from D2, and those changes go against what the hardcore players grew to love. That said, For the general public its a great improvement, and they also seem to be addressing some of those other problems.
Right the launch was poor. I agree that they are addressing the issues now. Its not perfect, but it is much better and I look forward to the next set of updates.
After completing a ton of quests in Whiterun I decided to pick up the main quest and make my way to the place to meet up with the Greybeards in the mountains. From Whiterun to the destination it looked pretty close but as I made the journey I realized how far things in Skyrim can be. The journey took me over grasslands, rivers a bridge and to a town at the summit of the 7,000 steps. The 7,000 steps leading to the area the Greybeards inhabit.
Ivarstead is the town at the mountain summit and I talked to a few people and rested up at the Inn. There were a few town quests, one being to check out a haunted shack at the edge of town that I haven't started yet. Hanging out in... Read All

Ivarstead is the town at the mountain summit and I talked to a few people and rested up at the Inn. There were a few town quests, one being to check out a haunted shack at the edge of town that I haven't started yet. Hanging out in these small towns is fun, nice to see every town in Skyrim isn't "Whiterun sized." I picked up a quest from a NPC on a bridge to take a sack of food to the top of the mountain for the Greybeards. He said the only stuff he encountered on his trip up were the occasional wolf or rabbit. Yeah, that was pretty misleading as I had a few sizable foes to kill on the way. One Frost Troll killed me 5 times before I put it down. Apparently many players had problems killing that one too from a few Google Searches on the topic.
Summiting the mountain was fun. Its was cool to see the weather change and read the text of the stones on the way to the top. After I hit the steps I snapped the above image and saved. I want to enter High Hrothgar in a later session.
Having a great time playing this game. If you and 3 friends are looking for a fun 4 person co-op game, I would highly recommend this one. Great fun and nothing beats killing zombies with three of your good friends. Also, has a nice rpg element that makes it stand out as a unique game. Never played anything like it before.

The Portal 2 Perpetual Testing Initiative is a really fun map editor and sharing platform. Making maps and sharing them with friends really brought me back to my early map making days with Wolfenstein, Doom, Warcraft 2 and Starcraft. Looks like Valve is taking the Perpetual Testing Initiative one step further and allowing people the ability to make co-op maps!
A snip from the Valve blog post:
"That's right: Puzzle creators can now design and publish co-op maps, which puzzle players can now greedily consume. Well, as long as they have a co-op partner. Which the 75% off coupon should help them (i.e.: you) find. We've also added a "Quick Play" feature that creates... Read All

Awesomenauts fo' life. I love playing this game in my off time. Its a great game to play if your ever feeling a bit bored and want a quick game to make your fun meter go up

My brother had it while I was staying with him this summer. It was a good time, especially once I figured out what the hack I was doing. I enjoyed the stealth character.
