Alright noobz, I searched and couldn't find it...so here we go. Post away turdnuggets.

oh almost forgot...post your XBOX or PS3 gamertag...my Xbox GT is: Bruh Bruh Brock

[Johannes]

ahh nice...i haven't got myself any of these new video games so i don't play online anything..i'm stuck with my nintendo 8-bit! still going strong!

[Mark Bee]

Hey - great idea! I'm on PS3 as ruttlemaki. I'm usually found playing BLOPS2, Assassin's Creed 2&3, and both Bioshocks (looking forward to the 3rd instalment.)

[Graeme]

I'm on Xbox Live as Fancypaw but I basically only play Skyrim and not very often at that. I like playing video games but I usually have better things to do with my time than play them.

[YOMONEY]

whenever a new gta comes out ill buy a playstation, lock myself inside for a week or two, call out of work sick as much as possible, beat the game, then sell everything back.

I play BLOPS 2 on Xbox when I can. I don't have a bunch of time so it is kinda spotty. I am really digging it though. I come from way back with CoD. Been playing since CoD 2. I feel like BLOPS 2 is really close to the level of awesome that CoD 4 was. I used to compete in a semi-professional manner and find it really hard to only care about gaming a little bit. When I play, I get super intense and want to keep winning...so in that sense I have to limit my time with planned interruptions. Otherwise, I will just play all day and not even realize until I wasted my entire day and didn't do anything I should.

I would love to play something on Xbox with you guys...add me on Xbox and just message me with "LST" in the message.

I haven't played anything new for like 5 years. My favorite game was morrowind. Wish I still had my old Xbox, had like 350 hours on one character alone. So many days of ditching school and going exploring in that game.

To that effect...I know people with a thousand or more hours into a WoW profile, that they can sometimes sell for a couple thousand dollars.

I want to add up my lifetime in-game time on the CoD series. I think I have roughly 600,000 kills and probably about 700 or 800 hours over the last 7 years.

[CaptCanada]

That was just one char, I had more than just that one. I get your point though. I have a friend that would make extra money that way, selling chars on WoW. Those guys play that game for years to get that many hours..... I just can't do that.

Most of my favorite video games involve 1 quarter and 3 lives.

Mario Kart is my exception to the rule.

[CaptCanada]

Wow @irezumi you gotta be like 80 years old. Most arcade games (here at least) cost anywhere from $1 to $7 and you only get one life.

I'm currently playing Arkham City for the third time. Still seeking that elusive 100%.

[Ducky15568]

If you guys like extremely hard games, give Demon Souls or Dark souls a try.

Im currently playing through Far Cry 3

[Brock Varty]

I downloaded the new map pack for Black Ops 2 last night. I'm a little bummed I wont have time to play until Saturday night.

[Dumpleton]

I like 8 ball pool on miniclip. Google miniclip, many free time wasting games there

I'm curious to hear what you think of the new map pack. I'm debating getting it. I just picked up MLB '13 and I'm slowly working through Bioshock: Infinite.

[HaydenRose]

Just finished Bioshock Infinite- so good! The plot twists seemed to be like neverending though, to the point where it became a little expected... However, the ending was "interesting" and enjoyed some ties to the previous games.

Not sure if any one mentioned it, but the new Tomb Raider (origins) game is unreal. Definitely worth a go if you're on the fence.

Also, has any one tried out Defiance (syfy tv show companion)? I waited until the pilot to see if it would be worth getting into the game for the extra content and related missions. However, the pilot on Monday sucked ass IMO so I'm not bothering with it. Wanted to see if any one else checked it out--it's a promising concept for the future, but would be better with a better, more developed TV show (like BSG).

[Mark Bee]

Good to hear about Tomb Raider - I have been on the fence about it. I think I'll give it a go.

[Ducky15568]

Just to let you guys know....DO NOT buy Walking Dead: Survival Instincts....Worst purchase of my life, and I have bought some pretty terrible stuff before. The story is practically non-existant and the game mechanics are blocky.

Shitty. I heard bad things about the game. Blizz just threw something together to make a few more bucks off the name. The iOS game is amazing, though.

[Brock Varty]

@Mark Bee When I play the new maps this weekend...i'll post up a little mini review of them.

[motsimus]

yeah I've just started playing Tomb Raider and its really good , so action packed.

[CultExciter]

I'm currently playing mostly older games. They are just so much cheaper a bit after their release.

Working on Dishonored, and finally picked up Fallout 3 today. Bye friends.

[eisen777]

My wife only plays dungeon crawler games with me and its been a while since a 2 player dungeon crawler was on the ps3 and not a Lego or Xman game so we are stoked to play diablo 3. We will play a little this fall but the nights of veg out winter cabin fever will be hours of diablo 3.

Even though I've never met you, I am going to miss you.
