Having finished renegade Shep playthrough, I've started a new Skyrim run. CY's posts were making me nostalgic. When I was thinking of doing it before, I was trying to figure out what I would do since I've done all the major quest lines with various characters. Now that I'm at it, though, I find it very liberating. I can just do whatever strikes my fancy without concern for accomplishing anything specific.

Playing Dragon Age: Origins, and is it just me, or is Duncan, the Grey Warden, right up there with van Helsing from Dracula as coming of as really shady despite everyone treating him like a stand-up guy?
(Seriously, I do not understand why anyone listens to van Helsing in that book. He's so secretive and vague I've seen phishing e-mails with more specificity.)

I played a City Elf.
He was friends with my mom and got me off the hook from guards coming to arrest me for slaughtering an Earl's Son's whole household.
He's cool in my books.

I played all the starter stories. He is just looking for some bad ass girl who can kill stuff for him. My favorite start story was the Dwarven Noble one for some reason. But they were all good. One of these days I should go back and actually finish that game.

Edit: Or are the plurals Masses Effect and Dragons Age?
Massive Effects?

Just finished my second playthrough of Dragon Age II a few days ago; currently trying to figure out a way to come up with the money to actually finish Dragon Age Inquisition (the ending of the game is next-gen exclusive DLC).

Not cool! Boo! Hiss! Down with that sort of thing!

They can't seem to hold my attention. The only ones that could are MMOs. I guess I get bored knowing there really isn't any point to them other than 'beating' the game. It just doesn't engage my interest.

I can sort of understand why BioWare did it, but the way they did it sort of bugs me. DAI was developed for PC and next-gen consoles, then ported to last-gen consoles in a stripped-down form. They had planned to release 3 expansions, but during the development of the second expansion, they found that the older consoles simply couldn't handle the software, no matter how much content they stripped out. Unfortunately, the third planned expansion was to be the final ending of the game, and revealing that it was going to have to be a next-gen exclusive months after the release of the game on last-gen consoles pissed off a lot of people. It would have saved customers money in the long run to simply have released the title on PC and next-gen consoles, without releasing what amounted to a 90-hour full-price demo on last-gen systems. I get it, but it comes off as kind of shady.

Well, today is my sort-of day off. All I have to do is drive the local girl's soccer team to their match. I am happy, I got my case brief done, now I just have to type and print it up tonight.
I'm thinking about watching some TV tonight. I need a bit of mindless entertainment. That and some extra sleep. Midnight sees me at WHOI once again.

To me single player games are interactive stories. Kind of like a Choose Your Own Adventure except on the next gen console.

I guess I also get frustrated by my clumsiness. It takes me a while to get through even the simplest tasks
I feel your pain. I seem to have a higher learning curve than most when it comes to games and I often have to relearn the game if I have been away for too long. I think that is why I have about 15 favorites that I always come back too. I already know the game and it does not take me as while to get back into them.

Think of Angry Birds as a version of Solitare. Mindless fun. Thinking is not required.

Angry Birds Epic is probably my favourite.

Heh, I'm the opposite. Outside of the Dragonborn expansion (SOLSTHEIM!) I haven't completed any of the expansions of that game, or Oblivion either.
I haven't completed Morrowind yet.
Cross that, I haven't completed any part of Elder Scrolls, and I played both Arena and Buggerfall Daggerfall for a very short time each.

I don't think anyone has ever completed an Elder Scrolls game.

A question we had fun discussing over on FaceBook:
Have you ever discovered a book you loved had been visited by the Suck Fairy?
