    Playing The Last if Us: Remastered, and it’s great. I stopped at the part where the elevator broke, and you need to get back up to Ellie. I would’ve continued, but those two fucking boomers were pissing me off. If I rushed to the door, it wouldn’t open, and I’d die. If I fought, I would die.:mad: 

    Gonna have to take a good break.

    Wolfenstein II: The New Collossus
    Just got past the courtroom fight. That was fun. Had to turn down the difficulty from "Bring 'em On!" To "Don't Hurt Me" for the second half of the fight (after Eva goads BJ and drops two Heavies into the courtroom) after the four Chappies(my name for the robot troops) that spawn in kicked my ass for the tenth fucking time. The following cutscenes made me go "what. the. fuck."

    Dragon Quest XI.

    "Hey, did you like Dragon Quest 8?" Have some more! A....lot more. A (seemingly) infinite amount of Dragon Quest!"

    Yep, this is a long game. 80 hours in and on Act III.

    Portal: Still Alive is one of this month's freebies on XBL and man, what a trip down memory lane!

    So much fun. Like the added levels. I had the original PC version and no DLC, so it's all a nice touch. Free? Even better.

    Rage 2 on Ps4 - so I had my expectations pretty low on this and held off playing it until last weekend. But you know what? I'm enjoying the hell out of it - the combat is amazingly solid, even if the world is pretty empty and the story is too short.

    Also: Lego City:Undecover - playing through this in coop two player with my son and it's an absolute blast. Such a fun and satisfying game to play!

    Me! Me! I love me some DQ8.

    I've been on the fence about DQXI, but if it's that much like DQ8, I need to go for it.

    Oh, if you like 8, then you absolutely should pick up XI.

    I beat DQ8 WAY back in the day; I'll freely admit that if it were fresher in my mind, I might be able to pick out more differences. With that said, it's definitely the same framework, despite various tweaks and more refined graphics. Its flaws (old school battle system to a fault, can get kinda grindy) are pretty much the same as well. I can definitely see someone preferring one game over the other, but I have a hard time imagining that anyone that was really into 8 would regret getting into XI.

    picked up a cheap copy of "Borderlands 2" over the weekend; never tried this series before so I thought i'd give it a shot.


    Was actually enjoying it quite a bit but right now i'm stuck at this fucking HORRENDOUSLY designed boss fight with some jacked-up supervillain with a rocket launcher who hides on the level above you & kills me with one shot the second I start to move.

    Left 4 dead 2, but all by myself. And holy Christ in a hand basket, it's rough. I can't even get past the final chapter in the fist frickin movie where you have to fill up Jimmy gibs jr.'s car with gas. Then again, I don't have very much experience with a game like left 4 dead 2.

    Taking a small break from Earthbound to progress through the first Final Fantasy game (NES Classic version). It's kicking my ass and I'm appreciating it. Though limitations like wasting attacks on defeated foes and not being able to forget spells are major pains.

    Mega Man 11. Got stuck in Bounce Man's stage. Quit.

    Bought some items and went through Fuse Man's stage. That level is absolutely chaotic, but I made it to Fuse Man with one life and 5 etanks. I was dismayed to find that Tornado Blizzard didn't phase him, but he is the coolest robot master in the game. He became lightning itself! How awesome is that?

    I thought I was gonna get annihilated, but holy shit, I somehow managed to beat him buster only! I'm sooo grateful for speed gear right now.

    I'm thinking I may have screwed up the proper weakness order. A lot of my initial assumptions have been wrong. I'm assuming his power will wipe out Torch Man.

    All I have left is Bounce, Blast and Torch.

    I started a new file in FF: DOS in Final Fantasy earlier today, just aquired a ship after serious level grinding and Gil earning.

    Still at the second town. Already beat the pirates for their ship, but going to take my time grinding for experience and items before moving on.
