I preferred it on the GBA. It was fun choosing how to advance my characters.
Now I'm fighting through Darkwatch on Deadeye setting, and trying to finish Soulcalibur 3 on 'You're an idiot for trying this difficulty' mode.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Suffolk, where the Aliens roam.

WoW mainly - was just getting bored of the high lvl grind with my 70 and persuing alts (65, 56 and a few in the 25-35 bracket) when Blizzard open up new realms for the first time in ages.

Some thing care free about playing in a fresh faced realm, where every starting zone is chockablock full of players, and prices are dirt low. 20 Light leather for 4sil, 20 Copper Bars for 17sil etc.. plus the AQ war is on, so this time I can rep grind for a Raptor mount, with the added bonus I've nabbed Morathi and Rakarth as names, and my wife got Malekith and Hellebron.

I think its also going to be my final swansong as WaR is getting really close now. Gonna see how high I can lvl Morathi before Open Beta begins.

On the 360 I'm playing Carsconne, Lego Indian Jones and thats about it.

Too Human Demo! (Currently need an xbox live gold membership to download it, silver members can get it next week.)

Loved it. There is even a way to unlock all 5 classes and let you use them in the demo. You can search for the exploit on you tube or google. The game is simple yet deep. The controls take some getting used too, but if you read the Advanced Controls menu tab it tells you how to do the complex combat maneuvers and other stuff that shows just how deep the game gets with all the loot gathering, skill trees and character classes. Finally a good action/rpg/loot game on a console that isn't just a straight button mash that kills your thumb in 2 hours.

Medieval total war 2.

English on standard difficulty.
Longest I've ever played the mega campaign.

So far have all UK& Ireland, all of europe as far as modern bellorussia/rumania except greece and constantinople (am about to attack the byzantines).
Have all africa and Jerusalem. Plus I have moscow.

I hit the steppes of Russia JUST as the stupid mongols started rampaging via kiev and its taken 20 turns of throwing everything I have at them to grind them down to the point where I am mopping them up (they seem to splinter into smaller and smaller forces after taking towns/forts). I've just gotten through the black death at the same time which sent me broke (money flowing again now though).

Now I have cash again I'm about to hammer the rest of the middle east via my african settlements (the sassanids aren't far off though), Italy and the Balkans will support my drive into Byzantium and Asia Minor and central Europe will supply troops for the rest of the Russian campaign.
Whilst doing all that I have to start building France, UK and Spain again for when the Americas are opened up.

You sold me, mate. Hadn't looked in before, but I'm definitely in the mood to play that sort of game. I'm sick of Civ and RoN though.

But first I'm going to play Final Liberation for a while

Erggh.

Just trying to get myself out of this spiralling Fable-Related cycle:

1. I'm bored of my 360 games.
2. My PC is too old for any games, ever.
3. Fable 2 comes out in over a month, so I have nothing to do...
4. ...Except play Fable 1?
5. *Twelve hours, several rummaged rooms later.*
6. I SOLD FABLE 1.
7. Depression.
8. Desperate Measures including trying to do those free internet serveys that get you 1 Microsoft Point after every 900 surveys.
9. 900*1200 Surveys to go!

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

YAY!

I clocked MTW2.

Killed the mongols by myself.
Killed the timurids by myself.
Killed every other faction including the pope 7 or 8 times until he finally popped back up and reconciled me.

Have now put the game away until I'm on holidays so I can get some modelling done...

Versteckt in den Schatten deines Geistes.

It certainly was interesting holding my mouse over the thread and the summary comes up with "I just finished raping innocent...".

We're a weird bunch.

Anyway, I also just finished raping innoce... no wait... start again. I just started playing Star Wars Empire at War. Yeah, not a new game by any means, but I bought it years ago and I never played more than an hour because I was playing something else. Well I reinstalled it yesterday and played it for about 4 hours. It's actually loads of fun.

It's similar to Rebellion, one of my fav SW games, but is different enough not to replace it. The space combat looks great and it's fun to do as well.

Just wish I could build normal ISDs.

I can honestly say that watching glue dry is more interesting than Spore. I despise sim games.

Me too. But Spore will set the artist in you free, even if the game itself is flawed. Wait until it drops in price and give it a go. There's always COD4...
