Music Banter - What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

My wife is very particular about the games she plays, and only immerses herself in a handful (we both played Borderlands together, which was great). One of those few games was Skyrim, so of course she nearly lost it when she heard about the remaster coming out.

Gotta say...it looks pretty good. The more realistic looking foliage is almost worth it by itself considering a lot of your time is spent outdoors. And the fast loading times...oh my, yes. I even caved and made a new character for myself. I'm currently a few hours into Mass Effect 3 and after marathoning through 1 and 2, it's nice to have a break.

My computer can barely handle Skyrim at its lowest settings, so while a free version of the remaster sits in my Steam library, all I can do is stare at it forlornly...

Just reminded me that I needed to mention Star Wars: Empire at War to you. Don't know if you've played it but it's like an RTS with a bit of turn-based Civ-style going on. And it's pretty ****ing sweet.

Yep. Planning to look into that asap.

I just realized, I now play games. Some of my long-time friends and I play as a way of spending time together despite the distance between us. Anyways, we're currently playing:

Borderlands II
Tropico 5
Terraria
Dungeon Defenders

Fantastic games. I've spent many hours on the 3 bolded. Dungeon Defenders is also fantastic with a group of friends.

Not playing it right now, and with my neck and shoulder pains still kinda kicking my ass, I don't know when I'll finally get around to it, but after having watched playthroughs of Silent Hills 1 and 2 I found out that 3 has a PC port. Being what sounds like the last truly classic SH game I kind of want to experience it for myself... and there's a download for it... **** me. I don't know why I continue to try to subject myself to scary games. I don't handle them well at all. I'm a ****ing pussy, but I love horror and video games immerse me in it in a way that movies never do anymore, so even if horror games can be too damn much they are also probably the definitive way for me to experience the genre.

So Silent Hill 3 it is... **** me.

In 172 hours we built a majority of landmarks from the Harry Potter universe in Terraria. It was awesome.
