I'm currently bouncing around between three games:

Skyrim. I've got a Dunmer mage/stealth archer who's a lot of fun. Combining illusion and destruction is just too entertaining. Calm an enemy, drop a fire rune on them, calm them again, then fire rune again. Still haven't got enough magicka to be able to dual-cast the rune spells yet, but I'm expecting that to be a big help when sniping.

Transformers: War for Cybertron. Picked this up recently, along with the sequel. Currently blasting my way through the Decepticon campaign on hard. I'm currently in full-on Transformers geek mode right now having finished watching the original series

Monster Hunter Generations. Another game I recently picked up(clearing out some of my old games in the process), this one for the 3DS rather than the 360. Fighting bloody massive monsters with any one of a variety of weapons and fighting styles. Haven't really gotten anywhere yet, but it's another good game.

Toying with the notion of going back to Oblivion for a bit, to play a Sorcerer or a Battlemage with a warhammer.

You mean ... back when? Or recently?

Replaying Mass Effect trilogy to psych up for ME: Andromeda.

I haven't been this excited about a game in years.

I'm playing Ys Origins for the PS4. I'm also doing an LP of it on my YouTube Channel. So far I like the game it feels just like an Ys game----just no Adol for the main story but he is in the game as an extra.

So, Breath of the Wild seems to be living up to the hype.... ANyone have it?

I have it on the Wii U, it's pretty massive for a Zelda game it's probably the largest in the entire series. I would say there's no hand holding in this game and at most part there isn't but there is this voice in your head that seems to tell you where to go and what to do. Oh and there's some full voice acting in the game....VOICE ACTING IN A ZELDA GAME! Blasphemy !!!

Khajiit is sure that he will be buying a Switch for it at some point, *sigh*.

Going to be awhile though.

One day. One day.

Fired up Oblivion today.

Got myself a new character, an Altmer Magelord names Arcanis. And yes, he's every bit as arrogant as that suggests. In fact he's so arrogant he just strolled through the tutorial, even when being charged by a zombie.

It's kind of strange, going from Skyrim to Oblivion. For one thing, I've got to ditch a couple of habits I'd picked up in Skyrim, like hitting right after hitting B to access the inventory. Keeps putting me on the wrong inventory page

One thing that struck me is how much better Skyrim's opening is. I'm not exactly a fan of Skyrim's dragons, but better that than the Mythic Dawn "assassins". And Oblivion's felt like it had a lot tighter focus on the player, and not in a good way.

But it's good to be back.

Every time I want to jump back into Oblivion, something else grabs my attention. I even got the deluxe edition for the PC recently, but still can't find the time.

If a DiD competition doesn't suck me into Skyrim, something else sucks me into Fallout 4.

[jarjar voice] My give up. [/jarjar voice]

Mesa drag you back to Cyrodiil, mesa mesa!

Woof. That's a little too much Jar Jar.

The main thing for me is magic. Skyrim's, despite being fun and more visually satisfying to use, just doesn't have the utility of Oblivion. And since I've got a real itch to play a Sorcerer-type character, it has to be Oblivion.

Though I'll admit that Oblivion has some fairly stiff competition for gaming time.



*shudders*

All hail Darth Binks!

I'm trying to play a back-stabbing poisoner called Lucrezia in Morrowind, but the game doesn't do poison, except as a destruction spell, equivalent to fire, frost and shock. No adding poison to your dagger (except by enchanting an on-strike destruction effect), no added ingredients in anyone's food or drink. She's losing morale rapidly.

Her current dagger has "damage health" on it. Changing that to poison damage appears to just add a chance that it might be resisted, and some creatures are fully immune even at low levels.

She has a touch poison spell, but needs training to make it effective, and she can't afford that yet. The ranged one available was too expensive.

This character may not last, even if she is a cute little blonde.

Lizardy ... um... Wizardry 8

Been playing Ghost Recon Wildlands and so far I like it but I don't like not having full control of my AI Squad (like telling them to go hot or stay frosty) and the Helicopter controls are crap. Other then that it's an interesting game.

Today I've been playing Horizon Zero Dawn.

First things first, this game is beautiful. Not just the landscapes and creatures, which are breathtaking, but everything down to the textures of NPC's hair and skin. Really impressive.

The world itself is awesome. Massive open world, ranging from forests, to snowy mountains, to deserts. Oh, and there are giant robot animals everywhere. The 'machines' are all so well designed and interesting, and some of the larger ones made me squeal in delight when I saw them. The way the natural world blends with the technology and 'ancient' ruins works really well and makes the world feel very fresh - delving into an 'old' cave to find a high-tech machine factory is a really interesting experience.

The machines are the primary enemy in the game. You use a range of weapons (bows, spears, traps etc.) to bring them down, and even the 'weakest' machines can take you out pretty quickly if you're not paying attention. You also get the ability to tame some machines, and use some as mounts. There are also human enemies, but so far I haven't fought any that were more than an annoyance (which is how it should be IMO).

So far the story has been pretty good. Plenty of interesting characters to meet, and there's a conversation choice system that lets you make some of your own decisions (though I'm not sure if it actually has much effect on the game). I've played about 9 hours and still feel like it's pretty early on, and there are plenty of interesting side quests that keep pulling me in.

Horizon Zero Dawn sounds really cool. I would love to play it. But sadly it is on PS4 only, and probably will never come to PC.

Let's see:

For Wii U:
Breath of the Wild.
Twilight Princess.
Wind Waker.

PS4:
Ys Origin.
Ghost Recon Wildlands.
And I got my Kickstarter gift of a free Doctor Who table for Pinball Arcade, this was my first Kickstarter I backed .
