The music section has it, so why not have one here?

Multiple answers are fine.

Gothic II [[plus expansion]] currently

I was also going through Diablo again but I got stuck due to being beat down 20 times after reaching hell, and then I found the Gothic Universe set for 10 bucks and decided to give it a try after recalling comparisons I've read to Arx Fatalis

Sadly, I've been sucked into the ancient art of Pokemon Red Version.

Yes, I know, shoot me now.

Been trying to do nothing but bug Pokemon, see where that gets me.

While Red Version was always my favorite, I can't help but point out the superiority of Pinsir.

Scyther sold out and got himself an evolution.

I forgot to include myself, didn't I? Thanks to my game ADHD, I'm currently juggling Infamous, LeafGreen version, Xenogears, Devil Summoner 2 and my fourth replay of Mass Effect.

i just recently got back into the warrio land series for the gameboy and gameboy color since i now own the entire collection. and no, i do NOT count that piece of crap game for the Wii as a true warrio land title. its not even handheld! now, if they called it warrio world shake it, it would have made more sense. im sorry, but that game is just fucked up on so many levels. it suffers from the same thing that paper mario suffered through: sooo mannny texxxt boxxxessss!!!!. that, and since when did captain syrup become a good guy? she hates warrio!

wow, how embarassing. im a warrio freak, what can i say?

Ooooh, I was thinking about creating a similar thread! :)

I'm playing World of whorecraft and Left 4 dead. I enjoy the last one the most.

I thinking about quit wow again. Did it a year before Lich king came out but that new expansion grab my attention again. And it was fun for a long while. But now it feels about the same as when I quit last time. :)

I really enjoy this time of year whe E3 is on. So many new games in development. But it's saddly it's not that many games that I look forward too now. I think I look mostly forward too Brutal Legend. Looks it's gonna be real sweet. I also want to see more from Beyond Good and evil 2, but I'm not sure about it yet. I loved the first game but it hasen't been much talk about the second game in a very long time.

This is the first game that makes me want a PS3

i've been playing THE SIMS 3 lately. it is very addicting.

i've modeled my first group of four housemates after serenity rose, vicious whisper, tess, and kelton! i like how you can assign them 5 personality traits (from a list) and i tried my best to make them true to the fictional characters

serenity: artistic, loner, un-flirty, "never nude"
vicious: virtuoso, green thumb, friendly
tess: good sense of humour, "inappropriate", hates children
kelton: computer whiz, neurotic, clumsy

um, that's what i can remember, anyway ^.^'! as the game naturally progressed, i learned that vicious really likes to meet new people, tess can have a good time doing just about anything anywhere and serenity is happiest just being on her own doing the things she likes best like such as painting. serenity turned out to be a really good cook as well. kelton and vicious are best friends because they both took up gardening and spend time together working on the garden and talking about gardening (kelton got a bit of a crush on her for a while).
tess took up the guitar early and got a job with a local performance group and worked her way up from roadie to back up guitarist. vicious got a job for city hall and is good at politics because of her natural high charisma but plays the guitar and paints for fun. kelton got a job with the local science institute and became a master gardener and really handy at fixing things. serenity has no steady job, but works from home selling her paintings and raking in royalty checks from writing books and submitting them to publishers online!

they haven't gotten elderly yet, but they are well on their way to obtaining their life's goals before they die. which sounds kind of sad, but it's pretty much how you "win" The Sims, isn't it?

and sorry to ramble on about them... i'm just having a really good time playing with them is all :-D

WOW. that's really something Will. i feel bad that i never thought of it, considering that the friend that got me into Sera in the first place is a HUGE Sims fan. actually, im more surprised he never did it.

i dare you to make a Rivet Hed, Skarsdale, and Stilletta family.

I found it hard to play the Sims without ending it in a killing spree. Seriously, you might call it something every stupid kid says. But hell it's like playing with ants. The small pittyful insects live there, just trying to achive their goal in life to do their part to hive. And build an insect family and be as happy as they can be. And then there is you, who have the power to give them all that and more... And then burn them all inside their newly buildt house!

Who wouldn't? :???:

akshly The Sims (1) was the last computer game i was into.... i had a nasty habit of making "black widow" characters who would marry for the money then lock the spouse in the attic (often with a hamster whose cage never got cleaned......) ;)

tho there was this one cool chick punk band i used for a while :D and plenty of mad scientists of course!

the new one actually sounds versatile enough to keep even *me* interested..... might hafta think about it!

ironic that you said that because there was in fact a game made called Sim Ant. i believe that it was for the SNES.
