I could do witha huge discount on vanilla Skyrim. Not paying more than $10 though. I really want to mod it, but I already previously got the platinum trophy on the PS3 version (after taking months off while they patched that ******* mess of a game). I have plenty of other games to play though so my willpower is strong on that one.

I picked up Terraria. I'm kind of afraid to dive in. I don't want an addicting game right now.

I've never played Minecraft but my understanding is that Terraria (which I have played) is more RPG-ish and less "build anything" in style. There's a lot of different monster types and weapons with particular stats, spells, etc. There's boss monsters and some sort of weapon/armor/enemy progression and you'll increase your base health and mana during the game. There's no real NPC interaction; you go to the nurse and select to get healed, not hold a conversation.

You can build lots of neat looking stuff, both explicitly in game (furniture, decorations, etc) and by using architecture. But you don't see things like Minecraft's working Pong machine or calculator. And, of course, it's all 2D.

You shouldn't feel bad. Anything in DS can destroy you. You need to learn their fighting patterns and adjust accordingly. This will generally take the form of you banging your head against them until you finally realize what you're doing wrong.

That will probably be wise in the long run. Also moving, dodging, blocking, etc. The actual combat options in DS are relatively simple, but you need to learn how to use them properly.

Reading a post about beginner's tips might not be a bad idea. Dark Souls is a sufficiently difficult game that, even if you were someone who is opposed to using guides and things in general, it really deserves leniency. There's a lot here that you'll never discover without help. Honestly, in my opinion, they designed the game with the idea that people were going to be actively sharing information (beyond the scope of the in-game messages).

EVE has cards?

I voted DA, because I'm a fanboy with weak will.

[EDIT]

..... okay, wrong vote. I went Runner.

So now that I've played XCOM, I feel comfortable saying I really want them to make a fantasy game with similar systems.

Or for SE to make a FFT game to challenge it.

I'll be happy with either.

Bully! ol chum.

I saw a lets play of Bully the other day bored surfing you tube that made it look fun. So that's my snag o' the day.

Very GTAish game without the carjacking/gun play if I remember correctly, had the 360 version at release. Fun but if I remember right I never finished it.

I'm enjoying Mark of the Ninja, if it comes around again and anyone is interested.

Watched Strike Suit Zero videos while drunk... 85% off is good right?

Strike Suit Zero added to wallet carnage.
