What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

Braid

Playing my way through the games I got with the last Humble Indie Bundle. I finally beat Limbo which still has me wondering what the ending and indeed, entire story were all about. Braid on the other hand has a pretty easy to follow story that's well told and I'm absolutely loving the art style. The puzzles are really well designed and remind me a lot of '90's PC games like 7th Guest or Myst. Definitely not as easy to get through on your first go though because I had to consult a walkthrough guide to figure out how to get the last two puzzle pieces in World 2. It's funny because I just bought Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 on my Wii's virtual console, but I've found Braid and Limbo to be better designed games. I like how each failed attempt just flows into the next one, and there's no stupid lives system that sends me back to the start of the entire game once they're used up.

Thing is, I never had a console till 1999 when I got an Nintendo 64, so on the rare occasions I did play a console game I was generally pretty ignorant of what to do. I accidentally hit the run button instead of the jump button and I'm taken out by the Goomba on the first level, then the owner of the console takes away the controller and gets mad because I wasted a life. So yeah... I'm much happier with the side scrollers of this console generation then of the ones from back in the day.

Playing Diablo III on my family's group computer, and when that's being used, Diablo II on my laptop. Sure took me back when I started playing. It was nostalgia overload.

The Skyrim Dawnguard DLC is out today for 360 players, so get in on this if you're a Skyrim fan. $20 for 10-20 hrs of gameplay, that's like a full game for 1/3 the price these days.

No. Horse combat was in the last patch and it's out. I just tried it on the pc, it's 'ok', kind of weird to try shooting a bow from 3rd person but whatever.

None.
My gtx 580 fried. Again. it's the 3rd one. Something is wrong with the pc and I somehow doubt it's the graphics card ... Power supply is new, yes. It has enough power, yes. There is enough air circulation, everything is connected correctly, yet somehow graphics cards burn/fry/die.

Yac.
