I went over my friend's Jhon's (not his real name) house yesterday for my birthday. He let me borrow Super Mario RPG and said I could keep Paper Mario.

oooo, Killer Instinct. I loved that game. Wish I'd bought it at some point. Alternatively, I wish someone would bring it to a virtual console.

Rented Bayonetta last night. The prologue pretty much broke my brain. I was doing well enough until the J-Pop version of "Fly me to the moon."

Decent enough game. I'm annoyed that it won't let me play on Hard the first time through, though. I've only got it for a week, so I'll have to burn to see if I can unlock then complete Hard.

EVE Online is a really big Sci Fi MMO, but it doesn't have all that much in common with Star Trek and it's open PVP.

Only other games I've played online are Skyrates and Earth Eternal.

Will trying out Star Trek Online. EVE on the other hand, you needed a PHD to understand the mess that passes for its interface.

Super Mario RPG is my favorite video game ever. I've beaten it a ridiculous number of times. The later Paper Mario series is alright, but too....kiddiefied. I wish they had kept the awesome graphics and darker feel of the SNES game.

Taking another run through Fallout 3 with 2gig of mods while I wait for Deus Ex: Invisible War to finish coming off of Steam.

Must...kill time till ME2, then use Star Trek Online to carry me till March for Dragon Age: Awakening. >.>

Oh, I know what you mean. Loved the original Mass Effect. Not the rover, but yeah, loved the game besides that minor hindrance. I've hopped back into Saints Row 2 again recently. Best San Andreas game ever.

SR2 is really fun, though the fact that things tend to dissapear if you turn your back for a second does annoy me. Septic Avenger FTW

I wish SR3, if it gets made, has a more customisable gang and, well, I'd love to see you being able to organise raids, hits, robberies etc etc.

Ok, I'm finally at a point time wise where I can post on this thread. I'm a bit of a mixed bag. I play pnp and pc games.

Pnp:
Call of Cthulu, Mutants and Masterminds, D&D

PC:
DDO, NWN2(can't get NWN1 to work on Vista.)

If you NWN try the crack that is Dragon Age:Origins.

I'm in 2 active "PnP" games now, though we play on IRC. One started as DnD3.5, but we shifted it over to Mutants and Masterminds. The other one started as M&M.

I don't know why it is, but I don't really like the M&M system. My GM loves it, but I just can't get my mind wrapped around it and every time I feel like I almost get it, it slips out of my grasp. But I just can't get a feel for what the numbers equate to when I put them down so I can't tell if what I've spent them on is what I want to have spent them on.

So now I just rely on the GM to keep the sheets updated, and ask him if I can do a certain thing when it comes up. It works out well enough considering that while I don't know how to get the numbers down, I do have a decent idea of what my guys can and probably won't be able to do, and what I want them to be able to do eventually.

Don't let something like the interface scare you away, it's actually not as tough as it looks. The pvp on the other hand is quite tough.

D&D is something I get the urge to get back into every now and then. The friends I used to play with are the same way, but real life keeps getting in the way.

I just have to brag: In my weekly AD&D (2nd edition) my Thief did a 96 point backstab.

How? Easy, 3x backstab bonus, plus a natural 20 which in our house rules, doubles damage, as well as a decent damage roll to begin with, and a girdle of ogre power (18/00 strength)

One dead Fire Giant.

Well done.

That's the kind of story you tell over and over . . . It's what gamers live for!

My friends and I have recently decided to do a completely randomized character game of D&D 4e. I'm going to DM, and each of them is going to roll a d4 for their party role, then a d4 for power source, then a d% for race using a table I made based on populations in my world. Finally, they get to chose one stat to start at 18, and then they roll the rest 5d6, in order. I intend to make them need those 5d6 stats.

We just thought it was an interesting idea, making the guys come up with concepts around the stats, instead of letting them pick a concept out of the air. So, now I'm working on hammering out pamphlets on the various racial cultures and governments by saturday for my players. I'm just glad to have the backstory and a general idea of the plot down, since most of the first meeting will be character creation.
