I'm annihilating the Germans in Total War, but it crashes too frequently - big irritation after I just won a huge battle. :tongue:

So I stuck good old Morrowind into my Xbawks 360.

I like Ratchet and Clank. I'll have to check out the Furry Quest for Booty. Although the network wasn't up last night. I was hoping to download Spryo 2 Ripto's Rage but could not :(

Played Ratchet & Crank: Quest for Booty. Although fun to play it's piss easy and I finished it in aroung 3 hours.
Luckily I got it free as part of the PSN Welcome Back pack. I would not have been happy if I bought it.

My guitar - 100 watts of overdriven bad fretting driving the neighbours crazy with enough feedback to make The Jesus and Mary Chain blush.

Fucking EPIC. :biggrin:

Playing Little Big Planet. I never would've thought it would be such an awesome game. Narrated by Steven Fry, too :awesome:

I wanted to play that so much - I'm so annoyed at sony, and at the developers for selling out to them, making it exclusive to playstation.

Wipeout HD/Fury is awesome online. Competition is fierce. Also when set to the top class the speed is enough to push your face 'round the back of your head.

I assume this is a video game and as such is impossible of "push[ing] your face 'round the back of your head". :smug:

Racing games are for Rednecks.. an Pikers apparently. :lol:

I've been playing Killzone 3 online, a little bit of LittleBigPlanet and Wipeout (got those for free), Super Street Fighter 4 online on the 3DS and some awesome classics released on it as well (e.g. Link's Awakening, Excitebike). Started up Starcraft 2 for the first time in a while as well. Oh, and I completed LA Noire. And the latest Professor Layton as well. I'm about 8 hours in, I think I'm about 75% through judging by the pacing. Oh, and the occasional FIFA 11 online match between playing all the others.

I've been doing a little bit of eating and sleeping and stuff too, from time to time.

I'm trying to decide what to in November/December, when pretty much every game I'm excited about is released. Ocarina of Time 3D is out in 5 days, and Luigi's Mansion 2 is out in 2012. The Last Guardian is also out in 2012. But besides from them, all the rest are November-ish. Uncharted 3. Skyrim. Skyward Sword. Battlefield 3. I'm sure my wallet won't be thrilled, but I'm more annoyed about having time. I think I'm going to forget about Skyrim until a few months after it's released so I can enjoy Uncharted etc. I know once I dig into Skyrim, I'll be playing it almost exclusively for about a year.

Damn, and we've got ICO/Shadow of the Colossus collection at some point. And a shitload of 3DS games. I need to find a way to be paid for playing games.

Napoleon Total War again.. when I get home from work, well not directly from work, not totally welshed.. that is mostly on weekends. :P

Much more enjoyable game now that I've patched it and it seems to have stopped crashing immediately after I just won an extremely complex, difficult and crucial battle. :P
