Started playing Devil Survivor Overclockeds for the 3DS. I'm pretty early in, but I'm really enjoying it so far. Throws in a lot of interesting mechanics that make you stop and think how to get the most out of the choices available to you, plus it's pretty challenging so far, which adds even more motivation in that regard.
This was the game that made me put down my DS for weeks at a time because it broke me. Excellent game, I don't think the challenge stops. |

I've been playing Thief 2 for the first time. Excellent PC classic that holds well up to it's acclaims, and hasn't aged poorly at all. I'm having a much better 'retroactively memorable title' experience than I did with Deus Ex, that's for sure.

^ I'm with you on that. Deus Ex didn't age quite so well.
Realizing that I fucking hate Ubisoft games, with the exception of Rayman. Picked up Far Cry 3, and while I did have the expectation of some cheap thrills it's probably the most boring game I've played in years. The sad thing is, this is the new normal. I should have picked up Painkiller instead.

Been stuck on one (fairly early on) battle. I keep getting really close to beating it. I think the closest I got was 50 hp left on the boss monster and maybe one of his teammates left. Most of the attempts end with me shutting of my 3DS when things become hopeless, only to reload the game a few minutes later. |

Beat Devil Survivor 1 & 2, but yeah, those games are seriously hard. Which is the case for most SMT games that aren't called "Persona".

Yeah, I'm really enjoying the difficulty. There are so many mechanics at play that the difficulty means I've got to wrap my head around all of them to squeeze all the effectiveness I can get out of my party.

stopped by at the gamestop near my house after work and picked up raw danger for a buck! it's pretty darned sweet.
Aw man! My friend and I are going through that game right now! It's an interesting and peculiar one, for sure. yeah, i'm still enjoying my time with it. i just finished joshua's chapter. i dunno why they give you so many cosmetic/clothing options though with that whole inventory weight system forcing you to toss the non-essentials anyway. |

I played Kerbal Space Program for like 2 hours last night, there are 6 more brave Kerbals in orbit. I seriously love this game, it's buggy and the interface needs work, but it's just so great to fly around space.
might try and pick up myst. trying to get yume nikki to run to give that another go...
Yume Nikki is lovely. Myst is on Steam, I picked up the Masterpiece Edition to relive all those memories... of having no idea what to do. Riven was pretty cool too. I think they're about $5 each on Steam. (Congrats on your recent success too by the way, don't blow it all on hookers and coke.) |

Finally got around to Bioshock. I've tried to pick it up a few times, but was too busy to really get into it. I figured it was a good time to finally try and make my way through it because Bioshock Infinite looks amazing.
It's amazingly creepy, atmospheric and has some of the greatest production values I've seen in a game. The only thing that is pissing me off now is that the enemies are all bullet-sponges. I have the game set on the hardest difficulty and it takes 20 rounds from the machine gun to take out the damn splicers and about 7-8 shots from the pistol. It's ridiculous. I'm seriously thinking of turning down the difficulty back to normal because I suspect that all hard does is make enemies have more health. However, after looking at the Bioshock Wiki hard difficulty seems to only increase all enemies health by 155%, which doesn't seem too bad, does that mean they still soaked up bullets on normal even? It just irks me that it would even take 20 rounds to take out one enemy.
I'm digging the game a lot though, I love the audio logs and the fact that there aren't any cutscenes to really speak of (aside from the intro). The animation for mainlining the plasmids is spectacular and really illustrates how insidious plasmids can be and there are a lot of really great scripted sequences that really pull you into the world of rapture. Speaking of Rapture, there really isn't anything like it. Underwater cities just have a mysticism to them.
