Started playing the Gold Box games again last week - planning to give the whole Pool of Radiance -> Pools of Darkness series another run. So far I'm finding POR more enjoyable than I did last time (7-8 years ago, probably) and better than most (possibly all) of the recent games I've played.

Searching for my kidnapped sister
Sengoku Gensokyo, a very Rance-lite jap game, with no porn content whatsoever. IT's a doujinshi game, or in western term, a legitimized fanmade game in a popular universe I dont really know about.

play quite like Sengoku Rance but SR's elements are very light, hence Rance-lite. The main plotline which is a major demon-goddess got bored with Japan's peaceful state and declare a free-for-all last-being-standing war, with the prize is one Wish for the winner. Two major subquest with full character development and stuffs are hidden inside. Cutesy, very cutesy game.

A timekiller till Rance 1 out.

Pretty much finished Clouds of Xeen, but felt overpowered and a bit bored in Darkside of Xeen.

So started Fallout 3 GotY. Guess what? Feel like weakling again....

Myst III. It's a welcome change from the brutal gang prison rape that was Riven (because I got 1 number wrong!).

I did use a walkthough once so far (in that fucking steam puzzle) as I could not fucking figure out how to get a non even number into the mix. After I read that, I face palmed, and continued to not use any walkthoughs for it again (due to my stupidity). Stuck in the 2nd Age (the plant/organic world) But I'll figure t out eventually. I have NO fucking clue how to get to that sunken 3rd world (the sunken horn).

Awesome game so far.

Got Dark Messiah of Might & Magic a couple of days ago but didn't have much opportunity to play. The combat system is quite fun so far. I'm at the point where the house of that mage you visit is attacked.

Sorry, I don't remember Exile as much as the first 2 games. I'll see if I can find my notes though, and if I do I'll give some hints if you get stuck. Exile's easier than Riven IIRC, but harder than Myst.

I just put 888 minutes in one session on BFBC2 the other day. I need to learn some impulse control (and find a job). Damn you, Steam overlay, telling me things I don't need to hear.

Chaos Theory is much better than Pandora Tomorrow (must be because they outsourced PT to the chinese), the series kinda fizzled afterwards so might as well quit after finishing CT.

Well I started Double Agent today and HOLY SHIT BUGS! When the game doesn't hard crash forcing a restart, I'm encountering game breaking bugs every 5 minutes. I'm on the fifth mission now and I'm supposed to crack a safe but the safe cracking interface is bugged, making it impossible to progress. It's too bad because when the game is working I'm really enjoying it. I'd rate Double Agent just behind Chaos Theory as the best of the series if it wasn't for the fact that they seem to have shipped a pre-beta version of the software. Sigh.

Decided to buy and play Persona 4. Despite the fact that I mostly hated Persona 3: FES for it's painfully slow pacing, boring cast, and horrendous voice acting.
I've got to say this game has improved upon it's predecessor in almost every way.

I'm playing Crysis for the first time. Just started the 'mine' levels. I've killed about 247 North Koreans at last count and am enjoying it.

Dark Messiah was the last good game that I got into.

Wasting time on making youtube LP's of Darklands and Storm of Zehir, whilst playing Risen, Pirates! and occasionally being casual with Mount&Blade and Serious Sam.

Currently not constructing pylons in starcraft. :decline:

Apart from the games I'm LPing, I'm wasting my time on Knights in the Nightmare, a pretty good and relatively complex SRPG.

Have been playing Pharaoh again, finally got the sounds run normal. But suddenly I don't feel the game that "gamey" at all, as I've fully understand how the whole city builder series actually runs. Instead of building a living city, now I'm more feeling like playing with a lifeless powerplaying mechanism...

Installed IWD, but still haven't got the time to play it.

Today is the day Dead Space 2 coming out!!!! Gonna play it!
