The only thing I hate about PSO2 is that I have to disable Avast! to run it.
Otherwise it is goddamn orgasmic. Just a shame it has so much maintenance downtime.

Just getting into Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (PS Vita). Sadly this is the only gaming I've done in awhile now.

I've been able to log in a decent amount of time on PSO2 so far (surprising given that my parents are visit this week) and I've been loving my RAcast. The missions are a bit grindy, but PSO/U/P2i all had that to some extent. The free-flowing combat helps in that regard, too.

[/li][li] Blazblue: Continuum Shift (At least the story mode to its 100%) [/li][/ul] Ugh, doesn't help the fact i barely have time to play....... [/quote] Okay, apart from BB, Fallout 3, and Oblivion, the list is untouched. And i just aquired - Batman: Arkham City

Ship 2. EGS rolled with the PSO-W morons, so I went with 'em. Though with PSO-W in tow, Ship 2 is like the official importer ship.
lv.13 and still don't have a Mag. Seriously.. screw making the requirement for a Mag be 2 uncommon drops from an enemy that is either a rare encounter or a single mini-boss at the end of a long-ish mission.

Fez spoiler about the nature of the Observatory puzzle Man, screw the morse code puzzle. Night doesn't last long enough for you to get a decent read on the code, the day lasts longer than the night so you have to sit around waiting, and then I swear he doesn't use proper spacing between letters. I already know the nature of the puzzle, the blinking stars encode morse code, but the difficulty in trying to record the solution is stupidly frustrating enough that I almost ready just to look it up online and that just breaks my balls because I've found all the treasure pieces, all the regular cubes, 27(or 29) of the negative cubes, all 4 artifacts, and the monolith on my own.

Pandora's Tower sure has a funky font. D:
Anyway, I've been playing lots of iOS and Android games. Last console game I touched was the Dragon's Dogma PS3 demo. Will probably be buying that game at some point.

Everything under the sun.
I've been playing at least 6 or 7 Android games, a dozen Genesis games, half a dozen GBA games and a few NeoGeo games since I got my new phone.

Yeah, I've been kind of schizo with my playing lately, too. King of Fighters XIII, Soul Calibur V, Silent Hill: Downpour, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Trenched, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown...
How in the hell did I end up with so many fighters? I'm only a casual fan at best of the genre.

The Legacy of Goku II. I beat the first one in one sitting, and it wasn't great -- but it wasn't terrible, either. I found it funny that the forest wasn't "at peace" until I gave a kid some flowers, lol. Apparently, the forest sees uprooting plants as an act of kindness rather than murder -- like I'd expect, from a forest. Also, the Kamehameha is terrible. It was entirely useless until Goku was strong enough, and even then, the hit detection on that thing was laughably poor.
LoGII is awesome, from what I've played so far -- and I've barely scratched the surface.

Because Sora no Kiseki was the game that motivated me to start learning Japanese, I'd meant to wait until I was fully fluent before playing it. Seeing that's no longer a realistic goal, I decided to play it as is, in hopes it would give momentary respite to my vicissitudes of depression/ murderous rage (sanity=FUN!). . . all I can say is this: since the dawn of the new year (the last year) I have found joy in only four things: new hand forged/folded shinken; Baccano!, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time; Sora. no. Kiseki.
I STRONGLY disagree with Kimimi that it's better than Xenogears. The story focuses on charm over plot, and while I entirely expect the later entries to match the stories I love most (Xenogears/Final Fantasy Tactics/ Tactics Ogre), the first part, while incredible, paces itself far too slwoly to be a testament to excellent plotting--Xenogears MASTERED plot development). But the charm factor, I must say, exists in such a ridiculous degree that I adore the game even without sudden unexpected twists and far-spanning mysteries being forced vilently upon me.

I'm over 40 hours into Sora no Kiseki and there still isn't a plot. The game is charming as hell; I love the graphics, music, and characters. . . but it's veritably about nothing. I know some people (*cough* retards *cough* ) value character development over story, but without a story you've just got well-developed characters doing virtually nothing. Sure all these quests are fun enough to keep the interest, but the thread tying them together is so slim it barely holds, and the foreshadowing is really just a flicker of shade at the end of each chapter. I mean, all that development before the school play; I was sure it was building up for a surprise of some sort. . . instead it was just building up, very slowly. . . to a school play. What had me so excited about the game was the vast amount of dialogue, but it turns out the vast majority of that dialogue is about absolutely nothing. Our heroes just stop to chit-chat for forty minutes about nothing with every minor character that comes onscreen. It's still a great game. . . but, given the hype, I find the lack of plot extremely disappointing.

Currently playing Portal 2 and Snatcher. Portal 2 is alright, but I much prefer the first one. The second one just seems to drag on too long, and most of what I'm doing seems to be test areas. I thought this one was supposed to have a better story, but I'm not seeing much evidence to support that (am in the second area with the blue gel). The game reminds me of the flash Submachine games, in that you don't have much physical contact with other lifeforms, only this seems a lot more boring story-wise. Snatcher is an interesting experience so far. I guess my only gripe is there's too much stuff to experiment with (a lot of menus to try in the first few game screens). I was told the story would be impossible to predict, but naturally, I'm going to go ahead and try anyway (just finished Act 1). I'm thinking that both Gillian and his wife are/were Snatchers, albeit defective ones at this point (or perhaps a prototype of a "superior" model). Actually, when glancing at a review for this game, it mentioned something about not trusting women, so naturally, I'm a bit suspicious of Jamie and Mika. Jamie at one point asks if Gillian could kill her if she turned out to be a Snatcher, which is a bit suspect. I'm thinking that she had orders relating to Gillian, but ended up falling in love with him, and can't bring herself to fully carry them out or something. In the case of her missing memory, I'd say she's either bluffing it to conceal stuff from Gillian, or that she can't remember stuff from before because there's nothing from back then to actually remember - manufactured memories, so to speak. If not that, there's the more boring explanation that one or both of them learned something they shouldn't, and had their memories wiped. Given that something about the poster of her in Gillian's apartment is off (can't remember what), I'm going with that she's leading Gillian on about their previous lives for some reason, but has developed feelings for him.
Gillian, he could go either way as far as being a Snatcher is concerned. At the least, I'd guess he was involved with them in some way, in some sort of project. I'm guessing he's an experiment of theirs (or their creator's), but went defective somehow or other. As for his memory, I'd guess that his memories of living with Jamie are simply manufactured, that nothing ever actually happened between them (going with the created Snatcher/android theory), he was just made to believe so for some reason. Again, there's the more boring explanation that they learned something they shouldn't, and had to have their memories wiped. I'm going with him being a superior Snatcher/android, and having manufactured memories of previous events.
Mika - given the thing about not trusting women, it's possible she's a Snatcher. I believe she mentioned that they had Snatcher attacks way up at Junker HQ a few times, leading me to wonder if she somehow was in on that. Not sure what to make of her yet.
Snatchers - Not sure what to make of them. They probably were created by somebody, but for what purpose, I can't guess yet. They apparently target wealthy/powerful people, so I assume they need the power/influence people like that would possess, but again, the reasons are unclear.
Random Hajime - I speculate that he is the creator of the Snatchers (or at least heavily involved in their beginnings). However, something went wrong (they didn't operate as expected, or he was misled about their purpose), and now he's hunting them down in an effort to rectify his previous mistakes.
