Mass Effect:

On my second playthrough, this time as an asshole (although, apparently, I don't have the heart to be a total asshole), female adept. Just did the ice planet. HOLY HELL this game hates people who picked "Adept" for their class.
Will either start ME2 after this playthrough, or do a third run as a completely random character who answers all questions randomly and picks random squaddies.

The Sims 3:
I am EA's bitch, so I bought the new expansion. I kind of like it so far, but I haven't gotten into the meat of it at all---just the fun with dinking around an urban environment.

Eh? Biotics are so good in ME they had to change the entire ability system in ME2. Course it is pretty rough at the start.

Adept is pretty horrible to start with.  You really feel it early on with Barrier CD longer than it will stay up and unless you pump a ton of points into it while not spending on points loweirng the CD on your long CD attack abilities that don't feel like they do nearly enough damage to be the only thing you can do once every 20 seconds then you die really quickly.  Adept gets good end game, but no where near good enough to justify the lack of survivability of any of the other classes.

It is better on replays if you have unlocked Assault Rifles or something, at least you can do something other than shoot your pistol (which you won't have put points into) for most of the time.  Couple that with the fact that you get access to Liara like right after Adept gets over that bullshit hurdle and yeah, Adept is honestly a pretty shitty pick for a main all things being equal.

Fallout New Vegas - Token Grefter did things other people that have played the game have already done now (Vault 34, good gods I am barely playing this game it seems, doing shit even Cid has done before me now), game is awesome.  Playing with 1 Endurance means I only get 1 implant (found out about that limitation well after I started), at first I was a little bummed, but then I realised that means there is nothing to spend my money on other than ordinance and a steady supply of all the drugs I could ever want.  So yeah I have a metric fuck ton of 50 cal ammo and a few hundred shots of Incindiary rounds to use with my Antimaterial rifle.  Power Armour and Weapon Handling covers my low Strength inability to use it.  Vegas is going to burn bitches.

Well, it doesn't help that I went after the Matriarch for my first mission. Her and her fucking Asari commandos all are seemingly immune to Biotic Throw, which really makes the fight a bitch, especially because you start off in such close range and your armor is absolutely terrible.

Basically, I say "Gimme an infiltrator any day", because I can nullify biotic AND tech AND weapon abilities, and I'm so adept with a sniper rifle that I can one-shot almost anything, all while wearing reasonable armor.

In fairness Grefter, I just had a three-day weekend and basically played the game nonstop throughout it.

Fallout:NV - Did recruitable character side quests, think I only have Arcade Gannon's quest to do (need to get further into the quest to unlock) other than Boone's, so picked Boon back up.  Got the recruit everyone acheivement woooo.  Was fun.  I liked Veronica more than I was expecting to, but that ending is incredibly unsatifying either way.  Well played.

So two of the three most interesting recruitables are gay and both of them it is handled just kind of out of hand.  Arcade Gannon makes a joke about it up front, Veronica just mentions it if you press her about her past.  Nicely done.  Cass looks like they jump through hoops so that she shoots you down no matter what you say.  Boone would count as interesting if he wasn't so amazingly straight forward.  Dude is awesome cool and great choice to take with you, but not really a conversationalist, so these three beat him out.

Cass would ruin all other sex for you because it would be unbeatable. Then one day you'd just be walking down the road and some old dude in leather armor with a steel plate in his head and a fake eye would blow your head off with an M72 Gauss rifle from a mile away.

That is why you can never bang her.

If the mom and sister of a Bro are both always off-limits, certainly the daughter of a Bro is.

Article 19 specifies,
Quote
The mom or sister of a Bro is always off limits. A step-mom is fair game, assuming she wears at least one piece of leopard-skin clothing* but NOT if she also smokes menthol cigarettes.

*provided she looks good in it.

Just bought New Vegas on Steam. I'm so behind the curve!

Speaking of which, I also played Katamari Damacy for the first time this week. What is wrong with me?

Djinn's sister and mother were never off-limits, as the Bro Code, much like the Ares Conventions, only protects those who abide by it. It's like the mutually-assured destruction principle.

!Lufia2:  Started!  Since Lufia 2 is #5 on my list of best RPGs ever, I expected a remake/"reimagining" to be profoundly disappointing.  Surprisingly it's pretty decent.  Nice artwork and good voice acting (although I've always said "Gaydes" and "Deh-kar", not "Gah-des" and "Decker").  Still maintains the character interactions of the original.

As for the battle system, I'm not too fond of it.  Kind of feels like generic hack-and-slash.  There aren't really enough options for variety.  Tia has been my favorite character to control oddly enough.  Pity it looks like she's going to be a temp again.  I was hoping they'd fix that in the remake.

Also not a fan of the dungeons; they're confusing visually.  Although I did enjoy Logismos Temple.

Just beat Gades for like the 12th time.  "The other thing I'm best at is doing things I don't understand with my energy waves!"  "Great Scott!"

And now Idura stole my baby, which means that this time... it's personal.


EDIT:  I seem to be finding this game harder than other people have mentioned.  *looks at Dune's levels*  Geez, no wonder.  He was level 40 for Gades, my highest character was level 20 for that fight.  Makes quite a difference in the challenge of the game if you don't grind.

Tia sticks around, unlike before. Dekar rejoins near the end as well.

In my defense, I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was re-complete the Moon level in under 20 minutes while making an 800m katamari. So... yeah.
