Trying to unlock those few last swords in Golden Axe Beast Rider.  Also, since I finally got around to upgrading my old PS3 to a  I TB hardrive- i'm either going to start Bioshock or Brutal Legend afterwords. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

VenomX73

Battlefield 4 FINALLY! My GTX780- made it worth the wait - 87fps ultra settings.

It's a beautiful game @ 2560x1440p.

next stop = Star Wars Battlefront 2015

Just decided to give up on the brutally hard TROJAN arcade game by Capcom.
So I switched over to the old black & white vector flight sim RED BARON by Atari.. much better!

Currently trying Banished that is an interesting little Medieval town builder.  As well as occasional shifts between New Vegas and Skyrim. 
Ah, the good old days.

Still playing some Skyrim, started on that Falskaar mod.  Seems pretty good so far.  Started on Sly Cooper 2, that's really fun but it won't let me invert the Y axis without also inverting the X axis, which is annoying as hell.  Playing some Gran Turismo 6 online.  That can be fun, but people are always running into me but if I run into someone they kick me out of the lobby immediately.  :lookingup:  I think I'll probably quit playing that.  You get about as much money for winning an online race as you do for finishing last in a single player race anyway.  I was really looking forward to getting some new tracks to race on as the developer promised they'd come out with "at least" one new track as DLC each month, but after three months we've got a grand total of zero new tracks.  Thanks Polyphony Digital.

Skyrim here too, going thru the Dawnguard missions right now.  My weapon of choice for Vampires comes in two enchantments. A Dawnguard axe that I enchanted to paralyze while it drains magicka. That's what you can do with an enchanting skill of 100  
Vampires hate me even more now :smile:   

Oh, quick edit here: just got Splinter Cell: Blacklist thru Gamefly and am just starting to explore that one now.

Yeah on my last playthrough I got enchanting up to 100.  Had 4 items which each reduced the magica cost for spells by 25%, for 100% total  :thumbup:  Then I had some items to increase my smithing skill, improved all my armor and weapons up to ridiculous levels, then put two enchantments on everything and outfitted my follower with the same type of gear lol.  Enemies were as they say "trivial"  :bouncegiggle:

Enchanting is really one of the most valuable skills in the game when you max it out.

DayZ Standalone, fairly stable for an alpha but obviously there are a few things that need fixing and adding still

Looking forward to Tri being released, new puzzle game that looks great

VenomX73

Still playing Battlefield 4 but I can't find a mouse that fits me perfectly...

I went though Corsair's vengeance mouse, Roccat's pure mouse...

at the moment I'm using the Steelseries "Sensei rubber version".

They all feel extremely slippery to me - to touch. I dont mind the xtra 5 buttons - it's the feel...

Finally got into Skyrim after having the thing and starting it multiple times since its release. Of course, I'm playing on the PS3, so I don't get to do mods. Pickpocketing is my pet peeve right now. I guess I need to pay that one street lady to train me some more...then steal my money back from her.

I may break down and buy it for the PC at some point, just to fiddle around with the mods.

Well I went with the Logitech 'Anywhere MX' - so far, so good. I think it's great for gaming.

Weird old fighting/rollerskating game called DJ BOY.

It's worth the effort, mods are excellent.  Have been playing a Bosmer with hunterborn and a few tweeks for hunting to bring in some more roleplaying elements. 

Trying out Rust more kind of liking it though finding the tech kind of odd.  I mean I can make a 9mm full auto but have yet to master the skill of making bricks. 
Ah, the good old days.

I just downloaded the mech fighting game HAWKEN on Steam and other than the fact that it's a "free to play" game where they make you pay for better stuff, it's not that bad of a game. I don't think I'll be paying though.   Also, I DL'ed the Daphne laserdisc player and am playing one of my all time fave chopper games, Cobra Command.  And for the '360, it's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

Been playing F1 2013, a racing sim on PC.  I'm enjoying it now that I got through the incredibly boring "driver testing" crap at the beginning and finally figured out how to set the length of the races to their real-life length.  That option was buried so deep in a sub-menu of a sub-menu that it took me an hour of research on the internet to find out where it was  :lookingup:  But it's the same fun as F1 2010, very challenging (I've got the AI set on its easiest difficulty level and still am happy just to finish in the top 10) and there are plenty of great tracks I'm really looking forward to racing around.  The F1 cars are really fun to drive, doing 50+ laps in a race I can get to the point where I'm taking almost the perfect line through complex series of interconnected corners while giving it just enough throttle and getting my gearshifts just right.  If you're into racing sim's that sort of stuff gives you a great feeling of satisfaction.

Also played a bit of RaceRoom Racing Experience, a free-to-play game that's still in beta test.  It seems like it will be a pretty good game once it's finished, but right now it crashes for me every 20 - 40 minutes and the menus are just the most awfully designed things I've ever seen.  Once I get done driving around a track and decide I want to drive a different car around a different track, it's damned near impossible to figure out how to get back to the screen that lets you select that  :bouncegiggle:  The handling seems quite good though (once you modify the steering wheel options to get rid of the quarter-turn worth of play in the wheel that it has as its default).  There's a $40 DLC pack with a bunch more cars and tracks but right now all you can do is drive around a track by yourself and it shows you how your times compare to the the other people who have played it.  There's no single player against the AI or multiplayer yet.  Between that and the crashing issues I won't be paying any money for anything until it's fixed and finished.
