Skyrim (360)

Bored now. Want to start and finish the main quest, so I can move on to
another game. Level 43, mastered (100) in Alchemy, Smithing and
Enchanting. One handed legendary glass ax wielding Breton. I find that
with all legendary glass armour (self mined, self smithed, self
enchanted), one handed enchantments (+60% now), I can tank anything. I
just cast heal in the left hand constantly, and hit things with the big
ax in the right hand. Not exactly a Breton play style you might think,
but dragons are easy. Spell resistance sees to that. It's just not a
challenge any more (Adept difficulty). My healing restores health and
stamina almost more quickly than I can use it up. I've been farming
giants for fun. And mammoths.

About the only things I find hard to kill are deer, and slaughterfish.

Forza 4 (360)

A bit, probably.

Jelly Defense (Android)

The remaining levels I have yet to play are all unlockables, with
requirements to 'gold medal' some other levels, all of which seem
impossible to get gold on to me. Still, I'll try, a bit.

Boom Boom Rocket (360)

Looking forward to trying this again. I wonder if there are any more
levels/sound tracks since the last time I played it.

That's it.

This about sums up my feelings, although I'm a one-hit-kill archer rather
than a tank. Still, there's no Bethesda game that we can't collectively
figure out how to min/max to death. I may try to play through the civil
war plot this weekend, but I wouldn't bet the house on it.

Super Runabout: San Francisco Edition (DC) - How did I not know that this
was A) a Japanese game developed by Climax, and B) a mission-based
adventure that plays like Crazy Taxi crossed with the first GTA? I need to
go plugging holes in the Dreamcast collection more often. And I need to
find a VMU with some free space on it. And the two prequel games that came
out on the Playstation.

Something else on the 360 (360) - I'll feel silly if I don't put this new
hardware to use. Likely I'll give another one of my recent purchases a go,
although Two Worlds II is more likely than Resonance of Fate. I wonder if
more reliable hardware would make Divinity II run any better?

I found the civil war quests to be as dull as dishwater. Possibly
because both Lydia and I could OHK the mobs at the time I did it. Good
to have it resolved though.

I did pretty much the same with smithing and enchanting, and yeah, it
really does get to the point where you can just stand in front of a
dragon and smack them with the back of your hand.

The main quest isn't all that long really, so you'll likely only need a
couple of evenings. I think most of the stalling in the main quest is
because of the need to get somewhere you've never been, or because you
keep getting turned to ash. With a well-travelled, level 43 tank, you're
unlikely to hit that issue.

For me:

The Adventures of Tin TIn (PS3) - Feels a bit like treading water, but
there's genuinely nothing out at the moment that's floating my boat, so
I'm going to try something a bit vacuous, but hopefully fun.

Back to the future part 1 (PS3) - Got the complete season free with plus
so might give this a go over the weekend.

LOTR:WITN (PS3) - Another level or two of this in co-op tonight with a
mate. Still fun. Still spending most of my time in the inventory screen
equipping newly found loot.

HOTD: Overkill (Wii) - This was cheap in blockbusters the other day so I
grabbed it. I've played the first level up to the boss, but I've yet to
actually play it. The flow of the game is excellent and the various
visual effects almost have me forgetting I'm playing it on a wii.

Probably just a bit of Halo CEA. Did The Silent Cartographer last night,
so 4 down, 6 to go.

I'm not bored of Skyrim (PC) because I've hardly played it in the past few
weeks thanks to Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC). While I'll be mostly
concentrating on my main character, I've also started a new one on a PvP
server where guild mates from LOTRO have decided to settle.

However there is a possibility of getting some Skyrim in or maybe Dead
Island (PC).

I just don't see the appeal of Halo CEA, but I was never a huge Halo
fan. They are pretty good and I completed a couple in co-op mode with a
mate, but certainly not good enough to rebuy it and play through the
same game again!

Should get some time on Saturday to play a bit more WoW, but i've given
it a rest for a week and i'm not sure I can be arsed

First week back at work after xmas this week and i'm knackered! I might
just sleep and watch shit TV on saturday while Mrs T* is at work.
I'll probably have a few rounds of BF3 at some point though, just so
that Gunther and Toad can hear me swearing

*Incidentally, Mrs T will become official at some point in the next
couple of years, I popped the question on xmas eve.

Cos they're awesome, and you are wrong. Well, 1, 3 and Reach are, anyway.

Phone MS to tell them they are shit (IRL)

Hackers security details have still not been removed from my Windows Live
account. Only in Microsoft land does a delete all security details button
not do what you want it to do. I think I'm going to write an official
complaint letter about this as how fucking stupid can they be to leave a
hacked account instantly re-hackable. For now I shall call them at the
weekend and try and get it sorted as the email I wrote appears to have gone
into a hole despite the email I got from them saying I could reply to it.
FFS.

Red Alert 3 (360)

I sort of half started this and got half way through the tutorial. Quite
fancy something different and this has been on my backlog for a
looooooooooooooong time.

Aporkalypse (Android)

Need to start finishing games I start. On level 19 of 30 I think so will
try and make some progress. Excellent puzzler game with pigs.

I'm happy to listen to you swear anytime you like as long as we're
playing Battlefield 3.

Woo hoo! Well done, congrats, good man yar!

....Whatever you do, don't start changing your gaming times/ routine
anytime soon or she'll sniff it as a weakness. Even if she currently
enjoys watching you play videogames/ sometimes joins in/ understands you
need some time off to yourself sometimes, that'll change once she has
that ring and she may look to have you change your attitude to gaming
too, so the important thing is, if anything, to STEP UP your gaming
frequency. DO NOT FALTER! Not now!!

NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!

See you on the battlefield later on!
