I bought Prometheus, It's Always Sunny season 7 and The League season 3 today, as well as the new Coheed and Cambria album. So, those should occupy most of my weekend, along with playoff baseball, Chelsea vs. Spurs soccer and the NFL on Sunday.

Maybe I'll sneak in some Skyrim as well. Or finally start up Icewind Dale.

That reminds me. While I finished the original Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale and their respective expansions, I only barely ever started Baldur's Gate II, I stopped Icewind Dale II due to a quest bug, and ran into another game-stopping bug right at the end of Planescape: Torment. It bugs me that I've never seen the end of Planescape and Baldur's Gate II, knowing how awesome those games are.

In years past, I made two attempts to beat Planescape: Torment only to run into bugs both times towards the latter half of the game (both times when you meet the chick with wings who could become a party member). It got to the point where I figured I was doing something wrong, tried following walkthroughs word for word, and realized both times that the game was bugging out on providing storyline quest dialog sequences to move the game along.

Edit: Bed time!

If I get up, I'll have to actually work on this move today. But I have to get up. My Internet is still up until they flip the switch. Eek.

I'll admit i'm jealous of your epeen.

I am absolutely loving Dishonored. I did the second part mission for Granny. Doing this game all stealth with no upgrades is a challenge (i'm trying for the achievements). Actually successfully doing the mission with only having to use one sleep dart and one unconscious hold on someone...awesome. Spigot, forget packing. Go play on your PC to play this. I'd say the same to my GT but he's fooling around with something else i'm sure at the moment

Karak, I wish you were here to watch me play. I could use a second pair of eyes to help. Backing out of the mission was a lot harder than getting in.

Edit: Karak, I think Muddi was referencing Borderlands 2 for his nyah, nyah you are wrong

I am right now showing my 4 year old Super Mario Brothers. *wipes tear*

LarsenNET- enjoy Disney. We had a BLAST when we went around Labor Day. The Tower of Terror rocks! We ended up going to Magic Kingdom two days because the character signatures took at least half a day. Star Tours was really fun. I liked how the explained the reason for the race through space. Oh, and downtime for us was nonexistent. There is something going on every moment of the day everywhere. I would recommend trying to catch the park opening for Magic Kingdom, if you can. The train arrives and some of the characters come out to do a song. I thought it was pretty brilliant and a good way to start a day. Have to get there a little early though.

I am in this knee immobilizer for another 1 1/2 weeks minimum. You would think "Woohoo, game time!", but everything takes me twice as long to do, so yeah. I have been on the verge of reinstalling WoW but haven't. Hmmm. All I have been playing is The Simpsons: Tapped Out. *turns in gamer card*

Just beat Alan Wake and the first DLC, The Signal. Loved both and just started working on the second DLC, The Writer. Hoping to wrap that up today so I can move onto the next bit and finally finish up Wake's story. While I think the game relied too much on gunplay towards the end, I was still very happy with it overall and as a big horror fan, liked seeing all of the small nods towards the genre and the creators of throughout.

Some Guild Wars 2 as well trying to 100% the map, though I'm being thwarted by a few bugged spots. Sitting at 87% right now so in-between fleshing out the map, maybe a dungeon run. Finally got full exotic armor (main armor, not Artifacts and such) so I need to work on some of those too.

Maybe Torchlight. Shelved my play-through when I got GW2 and need to get back into it but was having troubles juggling Wake, GW2 and this. Now that Wake is almost done, maybe put a little time into it. Also ended up with Civ V. "Beat" it once and I dig it, but I'm thinking I like IV more and I can't place why. Still, for $10 for the GOTY edition, not a bad purchase at all.

Just came back from the annual pumpkin festival with ADD. Found some great handmade jewelry for her. No pumpkins were harmed at the festival.

Blue, nice to hear another fan for AW. I really liked the game and need to work on the DLC. Maybe the Halloween season will push me to pick it up again.

What kind of PC gamer are you? There should be nothing left in the house with the PC and whatever it sits on going out last

Actually you should be in the chair as the movers carry you out with the PC.

4? What took so long. Gorvi had his kid doing Contra runs at age 2

I love reading about Kel and his son. That boy is playing Skyrim and I don't think he's even three yet.

I burned a couple hours today on Retro City Rampage.

That game's pretty good, you guys.

Definitely play it with a controller, though.

I'm waiting for my Vita. I have heard all the praise for this game. I can't wait to check it out.

I wonder if web traffic analysts ever stop to wonder about the fact most visitors watching videos for stuff like M-rated games all seem to be born January 1.
