Are you playing WWE 2K14? I havent played em in years but I heard the wrestler creation portion has been really enhanced.
I got Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze coming from Gamefly but after beating Tales of Xillia I am mostly excited for the second one in August.

We're starting back to our normal Call of Cthulhu campaign tomorrow night, so I've had to go and reread all my notes so I remember where we are. Fortunately, I stuck them online, so if you're ever intrigued at what Masks of Nyarlathotep is like from a character's perspective, or just really really bored, you can read it all here.

I also... also... sigh. I admit it, I put game time back in World of Warcraft! There are you happy? Yes, my addiction has sucked me back in, but in my defense its all HIS fault cause he went back first and I can't have him playing without me! Anyway, I've been playing for about a week and a half now, and its completely sucked me back in. Leveled two characters almost to 90, took my 90 priest out for a spin and contemplating where I'll get the last 20 ilvl so I can go raid with my guild. I might have a problem folks...

Haven't really been playing much lately. I do play Conception 2 on my DS when I want to fall asleep quickly *the endless grinding/freeing my children to "build" up my town has been pretty ZzZz inducing as of late. But it's leveling my character and the ladies to make better star children so...ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I also played a tiny bit of Typing of the Dead Overkill the other day from my roommate's shared Steam account and that was fun. He's got dictionary packs with all sorts of naughty words, Shakespeare quotes, etc so I was laughing my butt off while typing things like a--jumper and beast with two backs along with ordinary words that aren't snicker inducing. Yes...I'm a child in a grown woman's skin, I admit it. LOL!

Also, sparsely playing Guild Wars 2 when my Internet buddy has the day off so that's been fun as well.

I've sneaked onto my brothers copy of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright and have just got to chapter 3. Really enjoying it, I don't play Phoenix Wright so I was really intrigued by those bits, might borrow those games off my brother too. I love the challenge, the puzzles, the exploration and the story, the cut-scenes are amazing and I love all the voice acting :) (actually apart from the Kira girl, I dunno what they were thinking with that voice...)

Still playing Animal Crossing, to be honest I would've thought I'd have put it down a long time ago! But then I saw Gracie and now Nooks has levelled up again and there seems to be new fish and and and...

I haven't really got round to playing me old PS3 for a while, I could do with a kick up the backside with that tbh, I'm pretty sure I'm close to finishing Final Fantasy whatever number it is, and I have Ni No Kuni sat there waiting for me...

It was a fun time waster. I actually like typing games quite a bit and I probably would have played Overkill more if I had been getting the achievements for it (I was saddened that I wasn't since it was my roommate's game played through a share and not my own). That plus I was just checking out the share feature to see what it was about. Pretty nifty considering he has like 3x the games I do since I can never afford games I want. lol Not sure how much the game is normally but I'd definitely say pick it up if it goes on sale again. I like the House of the Dead games as well (similar vein) as good, classic shoot 'em ups so if you like things like that, I don't see why you wouldn't like Overkill.

I've come to the conclusion that I can't play games, read, and cross stitch all at once so I have to "pick my poison" at the time and end up doing one of the three more and the other two less. I can either cross stitch during the day and read or play the DS at night in bed or I can play computer games during the day and DS or read in bed or I can play DS games during the day and read at night in bed. I don't, normally, read during the day much these days...I think I feel like there are other things I could be doing during that time that I can't do when I go to bed and since I can read when I go to bed...lol

Lately I've been cross stitching like a madwoman. I bought a pattern for a Celtic cross stitch middle of February to stitch for my husband's Irish Immersion Weekend May 2nd. Gave myself plenty of time to stitch so I was going at a leisurely pace and was fine. I got around halfway done and sliced my thumb open on a veggie slicer about two...two and a half weeks from due date for this project so I had to let that heal for a week/10 days so it wouldn't hurt to hold my needle and lost all that stitching time on my project. So, I basically stitched half of my project (an 8x8 square finished design) in, roughly, four days to get it finished in time. I took a week off after that was finished (my elbow was hurting and my fingers had needle imprints in them lol) and then picked back up my charity square and have been feverishly working on it for the last four days or so hoping I can finish it soon to send off.

Anyway, long story short...been picking cross stitching during the day and, mostly, reading at night (finished an 800 page book and a 500 page book in this last week although I was about 50-60% of the way through the 800 page book when I picked it back up again) so haven't been playing much. lol

QueenBex- I want to play Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright so badly. I love both game series, but I forget, is that for DS or 3DS? I only have my DS lite at the moment.

I'm the exact same! (Except crochet instead of cross stitch) Combine that with the fact that we are currently sharing a PC and I have to choose very wisely when I have the computer to myself, especially if the current crochet project I'm working on requires the PC for patterns or anything.

Just beat DK Tropical Freeze. Didnt think it was as tough (or as good) as its predecessors. The controls (yes, Ill blame them) in the water world were annoying. Anytime I had to shake my Wii remote I knew a couple deaths awaited. Other than the water world though It wasnt to vexing. Graphics were good, Music was good, Controls were decent, gameplay was what youd expect. Still wish Nintendo would try something different/new. Hopefully they have a good E3. FINALLY MARIO KART 8!! :D :grin: :nod :P Stoopid Gamestop isnt doing a midnight launch but as soon as I wake Friday Ill be grabbing that. Hopefully the online is good but I wont hold my breath. Also started replaying Earthbound! Such a great game.
