Tonight I'm going to attempt to build Seyda Neen in Minecraft. We'll see if I have the patience to do it.

You're going to build Seyda Neen?

Is she pretty?

Okay, it's a joke. I know what Seyda Neen is; after all, it's quite close to the Acadian Isles.

Seyda Neen is pretty in a "small town located in a festering bog" kind of way.

Ain't it just?

Since I don't have an Oblivion character at present, I headed back to Dark Souls, or as I sometimes think of it; Dead is Dead training.

I might actually manage to complete it this time, who knows?

Maybe get a blister on your liiiiitle finger, maybe get a blister on your thumb.

Play the guitar on the err... Rocksmith 2014.

Fun "game". Much more fun for learning the guitar than that stupid book I've owned for ten years now and touched only once. And I do already have a blister on my left hand middle finger

Get your money for nothing and your chicks for free?

I see your location says "in bed with Madonna" so just borrow some from her.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which I just got lent. Fun in a "use a sword made out of the bones of your slain foes" kinda way.

Pokemon Y

Gotta love Pokemon

Roblox. I know, I know. It's not unbearable if the five-year-olds happen to leave game, and I've really been enjoying this one about Ancient Greece...look, don't knock it till you've tried it, mkay?

I am once again pondering whether or not to play through Deus Ex one more time. I did actually start another playthrough a few months ago but I didn´t even get to the sneaking part of the tutorial before it just felt wrong. I must be in the right mood to play it and maybe it´s time soon to pick up where I left off?

Time, as they say, will tell

[stargelman]

My endurance to play Deus Ex is directly correlated to the role I've decided to play. Trying to get through that game without killing people for instance is extremely hard and frustrating. Even normal combat is pretty tough in that game - the biggest issue is the constant shortage of ammo. But the game is great so it's worth it

[mirocu]

I´ve seen non-lethal playthroughs and it is possible. Not only do you have the tazer and the tranquilizer darts, but the baton just knockes them out and the pepper spray can blind them so you can run past and disappear. It is harder though but I devide my strategies.

When I work for UNATCO I´m a cop and supposedly one of the good guys which means I don´t kill unless I have to. I prefer the tranq darts and tazer for the "terrorists".
When I defect and thus work for the real good guys I use regular guns because I feel deceived but also because what´s happening is so sick (purpously making people ill) that in my mind it justifies hard ammo.

There´s no saving the baddies here

Now playing Daggerfall.

Or trying to. I don't think I can really say I'm playing it until I've had a character leave the starting dungeon.

[mirocu]

Playing Arena. Though a bit clunky as expected, this game has huge amount of atmosphere! At least for now
I just hope I can find the way out of the tutorial dungeon...

Yeah I feel for you guys. I always recommend to people that they simply skip the first two games when they play the series. Broken and redundant come time mind when talking about the skills and the main dungeons are guaranteed to kill even seasoned players a handful of times.

And to those who say graphics is not important I say play Arena and then jump to Oblivion or Skyrim! Of course graphics is not all there is to a good game, but to say it´s not important is to simply flat out lie. I played another game that came out in 1994 called CyClones and that game had incredible graphics compared to Arena, not to mention full cinematic cutscenes! And the gameplay was miles ahead.

I do wanna play these early TES games though, just to see what they´re about so to speak.

To be honest, I do not mind the graphics in Daggerfall at all, that is coming from playing Skyrim just minutes beforehand. The gameplay is all I really care about, things like how easy is it to move around, attack things, pick things up, and so forth. That is the part that is turning me off.

Yeah, I can't get used to the bizarre controls.

[mirocu]

Seeing the graphics in Arena made me realize how important it really is to a game. I want the whole package, not just good gameplay. If the game has NPCs made out of two pixels and everything rotates when I move to only display one side at every time then my eyes just puke Also, good sound is also very important to me.

That´s not to say I want games with good graphics and terrible gameplay, it works both ways

Reading that makes me glad I skipped Arena.

That said I might be calling it quits on Daggerfall. Trying to fight rats you can't actually see gets tiresome.
