Click on the yellow smiley face and look at the bottom right hand corner of your Mii and it will have the code.

Ummm wanna swap codes?

Mines is 4725-7959-9005

I can't relate to that because every game that I create a female avatar in always looks pretty damn good. I haven't run into that issue of having horrible presets to work with.

Also Fire Emblem is awesome. I love that series but I haven't played them on handhelds until Awakening on 3DS. Oh not true, I actually played Sacred Stones as well but I remember playing two of them that were on Gamecube.

Mass Effect is notorious for having ugly female presets. I was just looking up how to make a good one on the interwebs and apparently the best anyone can do is make one that's highly decent. Sad.

You need to play the first GBA Fire Emblem. Sacred Stones was good, but that one is better. You don't have the training area so you have to be much more creative leveling up your characters. I've pretty much perfected it to the point that it takes so torturously long to actually play the game that I can't even bring myself to finish it. Awesome.

Cool, I got it. Here's mine: 2337-3397-1016

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadows of Chernobyl

I finally decided to grab some of the more popular mods to help update this game, with the Complete 2009 mod. It's basically combines a lot of the patches and fixes from other mods, but also adds some updated textures, ragdoll physics, localization, and pretty much everything anyone could want. It really does a lot to make this already amazing game stand up against some of the newer FPS/RPG games from recent years.

I played SoC vanilla, but Clear Sky demanded a decent mod to enjoy it in my opinion. Clear Sky had so many annoyances without mods, SoC felt fair, but was brtutal. A single bandit with a makarov could end me if I played like a fool, but in Clear Sky the enemies had this cheapness which completely sucked me out of the environment. You start out with an AK that couldn't hit the side of a barn, yet enemies with the same guns could snipe you across the map, and that god damn machinegunner after I exited the swamps made me give up for a few days. I haven't played CoP, how's that compared to the other two games in the series?

Well I finished Sleeping Dogs about a week ago, really great game. Definitely recommend it if you like open world games with an emphasis on story.

Thomas Was Alone
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zn_UU4R4x0...+Was+Alone.jpg
finished this the other day. At first I thought it was only about the characters and how you the player interacted with them, but as the story kept progressing it got more interesting as to where Thomas and his "friends" were headed off to do and what happens as a result. definitely one of the real surprises in the indie gaming scene for me.

Prey
http://cdn1.spong.com/pack/p/r/prey2...Xbox-360-_.jpg
borrowed this from my friend a while ago, and just got around to playing it. I'm about halfway through this right now, and as far as I know it was a launch title for the 360 and was also on PC, but I just played the 360 version.

But yeah, this is not a completely oldschool FPS like the original Doom or Quake, but a little later in the genre's development. Think around the time of Doom III. As a result, this has a good older FPS feel and some interesting ideas in the gameplay. You play a character named Tommy who's visiting his Native American grandfather and his girlfriend on a reservation, and him and them are abducted by an alien race who wants to enslave them, with his grandfather killed in the process. Tommy now has to save his girlfriend and then the world and yeah you already heard this story before.

Anyway, what really makes this game fun is the gameplay. You mess with some of the alien technology including their weapons and vehicles, and the weapons are pretty cool and creative themselves(there's these creatures crawling on the ground that you could use as poison grenades) as well as Tommy's own powers to "Spirit Walk", or a power to separate himself from his body that his grandfather showed him through visions. You use it to get past barriers, solve puzzles and fight enemies. While they're not the toughest puzzles to solve they still break up the shooting bits with enemies pretty well. And also, the shooting is really fun and satisfying too. There's also these magnetic paths that allow you to walk upside down and on the sides of the walls, and it's pretty cool when you're shooting at an enemy that's at a 90 degree angle from you. That, and they could come in through portals that lead to different parts of a level, and it can be trippy at points. In a way this whole game is like one big peyote trip. XD

But yeah, if you're looking for something in the vein of Doom III with some interesting gameplay then give this a shot.

ncaa 14


terrible football game

Counter Strike

Not at all racist.

hahaha yeah, like I said the story's not really the strong point so I tend to ignore it XD

Actually I found Tommy to be a better representation of Native Americans than I would have expected from a medium as immature as video games. Even the voice actor Michael Greyeyes (a Plains Cree) was impressed by the thought and design put into his character, moving him away from the stereotypes found in other mediums. Hell the fact that they actually got a Native actor to voice him is pretty progressive to what we got with The Lone Ranger this year.

I hope the sequel ends up coming out, but given that game's past history I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a little while.

I've been playing some Vice City the last few nights. Doing a few missions but mostly causing havoc and just driving jamming to the epic soundtrack.

Def wanna pick up GTAV when the price drops a bit, gotta be a cheap gamer sometimes nah mean

Hell yea, cheap gamers unite!

I want to get on a one year lag time at least. As is I buy probably 3 old games and 3 new per year; I'm also a captain o the high seas.

Beyond Two Souls is so sweet. I love that two people can play with one person using a controller and the other person using a tablet or smart phone from an app.



I try to stop playing Sims 3 and they pull me back in with this new expansion.

You know those greedy bastards have to crank out expansions until the very end even though Sims 4 is right around the corner.



I might actually get that xp.

Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves

The most Canadian video game I have ever played... based solely on the fact that it's the only Canadian game I've ever played. It's kind of a strange animal because it's three game styles in one, but they all blend together quite nicely. During the day it's a strategy game, as you place traps around your property to help defeat the onslaught of wolves that attack you during the night. During the night the game plays more like a tower defense game like Orcs Must Die, however much more challenging. After defeating enemies you gain money and experience which you then use to buy upgrades to your weapons, clothing, and buy new items to use. It sounds a little complex at first, however the tutorial is mixed in with the game quite well and does a good job of explaining what to do while still allowing room for errors to learn from later on. The game also has a really nice bluegrass/ Irish folk soundtrack with lots of violin and banjo that really sets it apart from other games. The graphics are okay with a more cartoon -inspired aesthetic like from Orcs Must Die or World of Warcraft. The story is okay so far, co-written by Canadian author Bryan Perro, but I'm more intrigued by the strategy and gameplay elements. The only major detractor is the voice acting, which I think the studio should have just done away with in order to use that funding towards polishing up the other gameplay mechanics.

Overall this is a pretty good little indie game from this year and definitely worth your time if you're interested in strategy games.

Haha hell yeah I very rarely buy games brand new, or at all really anymore. The last game I bought day of at 60$ was Dead Space 3. And before that it was Mass Effect 3.

The Wolf Among Us

Highly regarded Vertigo comic series Fables is getting the Walking Dead treatment from the chaps over at TellTale Games and if you liked that gaming series you definitely need to check out this. Great storytelling, voice acting, and music with some interesting detective elements that rival those found in L.A. Noire. While I did notice some performance issues on the Xbox 360 version, it is the cheapest at $14.99 USD for the season pass or $4.99 per episode as opposed to the flat $25 for PC.

Don't play this if you like games to be fun. It's a side-scrolling action/platformer roguelike-styled game (dying means starting over completely) except you get to keep any equipment you find and spend gold on skill upgrades. There's three starting classes that you play at random. It's pretty hard the first few playthroughs but it does get easier and if I can give any advice it's this: find out what your favorite class is and only upgrade skills that affect them. Every time you buy a skill point you level up, which means the enemies scale accordingly. You can't "relocate" skill points so after a certain level no matter what class you have your skills are gonna be scaled too far behind the enemies to have a chance. If you don't get to play your favorite class you can always just run away from everything while looking for treasure. I ended up having to erase all my data after my first playthrough because no matter what class I played I was too weak. The first level's a castle which is usually pretty easy, then there's a forest, the tower, and then the dungeon and the final boss. The plot sucked, didn't make any sense yet somehow got kinda preachy. Oh well.

I finally more or less "beat" it in that I have every skill fully upgraded, all of the runes, and all of the equipment, which is kind of a bummer because it was just starting to get fun. I wish they expanded more on it, like you beat the castle area and it's associated levels and bosses, now there's a new area with different levels and bosses. Meh, a man can dream but for 15$ on steam or amazon this game delivers. Who knows, maybe a DLC/Expansion will arise.

I finally picked up my copy of Y today and the guy at the store said that he was having more fun with Y than X. He has both copies.

I dunno, I put about 35 hours into it and I've had great fun.

Eh, the first 5 or so hours for me were pretty awful. After I erased my data and started again while focusing on making specific classes stronger I started to have fun with it. I wish it was longer, though. I got kinda bored playing the same bosses and monsters over and over.

Are there major differences besides the usual cant-catch-some-pokemon-here deal?

I got X yesterday and a 3ds so im now living the pokelife. Just beat the second gym and Im loving every second of it. Like between the trainer and amie functions how am i ever going to finish. Im sitting here at work now just wondering wtf im going to do with this eevee. only 6 more hours and im free

On a related note does anyone know if Vulpix is in the game and where? I sort of like its evolved form a little bit and wouldnt be against having one.

I don't know the differences. I'm just going on word of mouth from him. I didn't ask him specifically if there were any major differences. He just claimed that he was having more fun with Y than X.

Vulpix didn't make the cut.

Check out this link to find out who did though

Pokemon X and Y Pokedex - List of All Pokemon in X and Y - VGChartz)

:( well thats really sad. Thanks for that list tho I was wondering how many old pokemon were in this one.

There seems to be a lack of fire pokemon which is really forcing me to have diversity in my team. Ill probably end up only having like 3 fire types on my squad. For shame.

Mostly GTA V. It's a stunning game in many ways but the realistic vehicle damage, snitching NPCs and overly agressive, lightning speed cops make it difficult to just mess around and have fun.

Also started Wind Waker HD on the Wii U which is just lovely.

The Dark Mod

After seeing and reading about how shit the next Thief game is looking to be, I figured it was about time I gave this mod a go. Before you needed a copy of Doom 3 to play it and I couldn't find my disc set and I really didn't feel like buying it just to play a mod so I let it slide off my mental radar. However the game is now released as a stand-alone total conversion that doesn't require Doom 3 so I figured it was time to give it a go.

First impressions are pretty good, it captures the atmosphere of the original Thief games and looks pretty, even by today's standards. A few hiccups here and there but nothing game breaking. Definitely a worthy successor to one of the greatest stealth games ever made and certainly worth your time.

Downloads | The Dark Mod

I'm playing League of Legends (Username is Cyric Daye), TERA online, Guild Wars 2, Sims 3 and whatever I can find for the Playstation 2 at the moment... I had to sell my PS3 after it got the yellow light of death and I haven't had the money to afford a new one... I guess I'll just save up for the PS4, then!

Sweet. I've been playing the entire trilogy for over a month now and am on my second playthrough and planning a third as soon as I finish this one. Brilliant games, even if the choices you make don't amount to much.

Also, why the hell is the vanguard class so overpowered in three? I'm playing the mission where the Citadel gets invaded by Cerberus and I've yet to be legitimately challenged by any of the missions. On Brutal. I can even go toe-to-toe, face-to-face with Brutes, rachni, and the big mechs without really worrying about being killed. I shouldn't be able to do that.

The Sims 2

Found it at my work for $6.99. I couldn't resist.

The Stanley Parable

I was aware of the mod but for whatever reason didn't grab it, but now there's a n HD version on Steam. I really can't describe this game in ways that are able to sell it to someone without saying "well... I really liked it!" It is like Dear Esther but then it's not. That game was more like a walking museum tour, and while The Stanley Parable is the same, it's not as obvious. By that I mean you're more engaged with the narrator and the secrets of the experience that you're not thinking of it in the way of a museum.

Look, it's hilarious and really smart with a lot to say about video games and ideas of freedom. Basically it breaks down to this, did you enjoy Portal? Yes? Then you'll enjoy this.

Assassin's Creed 3

I beat the shit outta that Sailor.

Yeah Mass Effect is such a great series, had a blast with it. I thought the whole backlash over the ending for 3 was a little over the top: i personally had no problems with it originally never saw the Directors Cut ending either.

I really like the Adept class in ME3, so much fun. Biotic Explosions are the shiznit. Not sure about the Vanguard, I used them in 1 then switched to Adepts after that for the rest of the series

Vanguard is ridiculous in 3. In 2 you get the Biotic Charge ability, which lets you rush forward (even through open air and light cover) almost instantaneously to hit an opponent. It really let you get in close like you'd never be able to in the first game. You had to be careful with it or you'd be stuck behind enemy lines with nothing to do but die, but if you used it just right you could flank the **** out of people. It ruled.

But in 3 you have the ability to reduce your cooldown recharge to the point where you can use Charge every four seconds, making you virtually untouchable. Then you have the heavy melee ability that lets you kill even shielded and armored enemies with a quick one-two charge/melee attack before anyone can even bother to look at you. AND there are the abilities you can learn when you level up that make Charge and melee even more effective, especially when used together, that make you a god. I'm about to attack the Illusive Man's base on Brutal and I still have yet to be challenged. I'm never going to be able to use Vanguard in 3 ever again. It's fun in a God Mode cheat kinda way, but it's kind of dull after a while.

Yeah I remember seeing people use the Vanguard on the multiplayer a alot when I played it on the reg, they were totally OP. They are very good tanks; definitely useful on Gold matchs.

If you hit an enemy with Warp and then have a Vanguard Charge it it will cause a biotic explosion, so you can keep chaining them and just destroy anything in your path. I used to play the Multi quite a bit actually, at least for a few months after its release.

The Adept can be pretty OP as well, as long as you equip light weapons like SMGs or a Handcannons with light attachments you can cause Bio Explosions over and over again.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

I had no idea that this was already out. I'll definitely be buying it soon. :>

Anyway, I recently completed this little gem of a game:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._cover_art.jpg

I'm probably going to get a bit of **** for this as this is apparently a really polarizing game, but this is now one of my favorite games from this decade.

its p good but mind you I haven't played since probably Gold or Silver loool
