WHAT VIDEOGAMES ARE YOU PLAYING RIGHT NOW?

On that note, I think I'll be playing Mario Kart 8 in a moment. XD

Thank you for reminding me that I need to go preorder the MK8 DLC packs. Which look SICK. Seriously this is the first time I've ever been excited about DLC.

Probably because they put some fucking effort into it.

Also because it isn't Day One DLC, AKA "content we cut from the finished game and sold for extra $$$"

Yeah, Nintendo is trying damned hard to be the Steve Jobs of video games.

Lord help me, I'm now two months into my resurrected WoW subscription and I'm not bored yet. Probably helps that I never even experienced Mists of Pandaria and a new expansion is dropping soon, so I basically have two expansions to explore.

Login screen is the Dark Portal again and the login music sounds similar to the original theme. NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD.

MMOs are the best for exploration. I mean, I love Elder Scrolls and stuff as much as the next guy, but nothing beats being given a colossal world to explore. WoW does it very well since the world is (mostly) seamless and without loading screens. I remember going into Uldum (a level 83ish area or so) when I was only around level 35. It was a struggle to avoid being killed by everything in the area since they would one hit KO me. It was all worth it to reach the town in the center of the zone, which is one of my favourites in the game.

Just played Kirby's Block Ball. The music was kickass and it... had a lot of potential, but it suffered from the same stalling issues associated with just about any breakout game, and getting highscores to beat the game is just asking too much. The moment I beat it, and saw that I got the "bad ending" I turned it off in rage.

I did, just last night. I am over the mooooooon~

(And yeah, Australia is, thankfully, PAL which means I gotta start saving. I just have to worry about how to pay via eshop now (here's hoping they take paypal))

I broke out a Steam game I didn't remember buying - The Blackwell Legacy. It's actually pretty interesting once you get into the story and game play. Point and click adventure (which I haven't played lots of in the past) with in interesting character... I've been enjoying it so far.

In the spirit of Halloween, I bought a giant pack of Skittles to give to kids... and promptly ate them myself. I forgot how much I loved Skittles. Oh, and I bought The Evil Within because it's supposed to be one of the first true modern Survival Horror games and is absolutely terrifying.

Well... It really isn't.

I mean, it's a step in the right direction, and I wish future survival horror games would try this method, but there's only so much gore and film grain I can see before it starts to come off as childish and trying too hard to be scary.

Plus the first hour of the game has got to go down as the most not scary and sometimes annoying intro to a horror game I have ever experienced. It does get really good after that, though, and it does keep getting better. So take that however you wish.

When I'm done, I'm gonna go play Silent Hill 2 or the Resident Evil Remake to clear my palette, since they are my two favorite Survival Horror games of all time.

FF Tactics
Antagonist

At the moment I play SSB 3DS a lot.
Also I've started a new Golden Sun The Lost Age playthrough again.
