What are you playing?

He explained it badly.

It's an addicting game where you play a cute fellow and do cute things. Animals around you live in their own homes and you interact with them. You receive goodies for services rendered. Every few days an event happens. Holidays things happen. Your bday things happen. And so forth.

In general, it's a far better game you've been wasting your time playing the last 3 years since you stopped PC gaming.
Better than an Atlus RPG fucking me over? Your pleasures cannot feel better than this pain.

 
Then there were the fun times when my stuff would get shut off before I could save and you have to listen to Tom Nook yell at you forever.
 
You're right, I forgot because I haven't played Animal Crossing in years. My parents actually played Animal Crossing on the Wii with my son using the mic addon thing, and they never play video games.

And then my mom questioned my sanity when she saw how awesome my house was, and all the shit I had. :O
 
While slowly treading through Fallout 3, I've been spending my line-waiting gaming on Scurvey Scallawags, the Ron-Gilbert-helmed match 3 IOS game. This thing is well worth a dollar.
 
Got it as well and have been enjoying it. Its my first foray into the series. Will post up my friend code. Currently have apples and soon oranges if you wanna stop by and grab some fruit to sell.
 
This is all I ever learned about animal crossing:

And to possibly ruin it:
Supposedly that was just the in-game mom, which is why the messages were the same, and this person didn't know that.

Anyway, my manager wouldn't stop talking about the new Animal Crossing. I will contemplate this on the Tree of Woe, and possibly Youtube, and maybe give it a shot.
 
Just finished Diablo 3. What a let down. This reminded me of why I don't play Dungeon Crawlers.

Since I managed to get through it though, I'm going to give Torchlight the chance I never did before. Here goes nothin!

Animal Crossing, what are you telling me when one of the first items I can buy is a gas mask? What kind of town am I building here?
 
Yeah but being a Blizzard geek I had to do it. I was hoping even for a little bit of worthwhile storyline but it really was worse than not having played it at all.

CynicismKills - Might as well play the first though right? I already own both.

I actually really enjoyed Torchlight 1 for what it was, but I'm also a weirdo that preferred Diablo 1 over Diablo 2.

I know how you feel about D3 though. First few hours I started playing it, I loved it. Yes, that Diablo magic is back, this is hella fun.

And then... bleck.
 
The second and third acts feel rushed as hell.

Act 1: Really well done. This is the game I wanted.
Act 2: Eh, not too bad, some neat ideas with the big boss battle, maybe act 3 will be different.
Act 3: Rather generic. Wow, that was short, oh well onto...
Act 4: There is no act 4.
 
I still remember playing Diablo 3 with Ravenpoe.

We finished it.

How did it happen?

Because the game only had 2 Acts.
 
Act 1: Really well done. This is the game I wanted.
Act 2: Eh, not too bad, some neat ideas with the big boss battle, maybe act 3 will be different.
Act 3: Rather generic. Wow, that was short, oh well onto...
Act 4: There is no act 4.
10 years worth of work.
 
Alright, I got Animal Crossing. Now I'm stuck on what to name my town. I'll likely stay that way for some time.

Question and it may be too soon for anyone to know the answer: can you schedule your own holidays/events/parties in this for your town?
 
Friend code is 1676-4968-0688 for anyone that wants to drop by my town. Have apples right now, soon oranges, cherries and peaches as well. If you add me, tag me in here with your code so I can add you back.
 
Still fucking around in Industrial Minecraft, building a treehouse village and deciding whether my coastal lighthouse should be modern and powered, or a big signal fire torch.
 
I'm almost through the campaign of Marvel Heroes with Cable. I'm really still digging it. It scratches the Diablo itch really well. I did break down and pony up some money to unlock more bank spaces for crafting materials and a few characters, but it's still less than I would pay for a full retail game. I'm finding it fun still. Though, here are a list of the villains I've beat, see if you can guess who was the hardest.

Magneto
Blob and Toad
Venom
Rhino
Mole Man
Green Goblin
Living Laser
Elektra
Kingpin
Bullseye
Shocker

Out of all those villains, the freakin' Mole Man was the toughest. He constantly spawns moloids and hits like a mack truck.
