this is the thread for when you're at work and you wish you were at home playing video games and you talk about what game you'd be playing and why

Lost Odyssey, because I played it for about 12 hours last weekend and I'm pretty into it, and don't want to lose my momentum, because I'll never finish it if I do, and I don't care to be here. At all.

Brawl, because I only have about 6843841384679491234 more things to unlock

see above.

probably Mass Effect 'til I get bored, and then Brawl to cleanse the palate

Super Paper Mario, because I rented it for $8 like an idiot, and I want to get my money's - oh, wait - I'm AT home!

be back in several hours

Oddworld: Abe's Oddyssee because I just rediscovered it and it fun.

I really, really, really sucked at that game. I loved the look and idea of it so much of that I bought it immediately when it came out, I think the day after. Couldn't get far, lost self-esteem, never played it again.

I made some good progress in Rock Band last night and I feel like I should be working on that and not on my stupid "job".

honestly I think Oddworld works on some kind of backwards magic and is the game for people who aren't really good at any other video games. My boyfriend gets really frustrated by it too, meanwhile I am like "IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE YOU KNOCK DOWN THE BEEHIVE SEEEEEE" and become a big sad panicky pile of fail whenever he tries to help me play a FPS. xp

I'm craving some Tekken 5 DR. As I was leaving for work I even dusted off and hooked up my fighting stick so it'll be waiting for me when I get home.

I finally got started on Fire Emblem. I'm right at the beginning and I only quit on Monday morning because it was like 4am and also I had just fucked up and gotten Edward killed. I need to get back in there and not get Edward killed.

Are you playing on hard?

lol no I'm going through the first chapter on easy in read-every-tutorial mode, the interface and features are pretty different than the GBA one which I basically forgot how to play ages ago anyway. Edward died because I can't count

it's the first level where you run into laguz. f some laguz

Edward died because I can't count

lol

Whenever I do this I go home and then don't actually play the game

zelda on the DS, because i was waiting for my brother to finish it and clear a save space until yesterday evening.

nothing right now,

zelda on the DS

that's what bathroom breaks are for

smash bros, I'm discovering, is best (when solo) in twenty minute doses.

ROCK BAND

Because I need to work on my drum rolls and get past BOC & Boston on Expert.

MAN playing half-life 2 ep 2 gets me TENSE sometimes. sometimes it's just way too scary especially late at night after i burn one. it feels more like some horrible but utterly riveting ordeal i have to go through.

sometimes it's just way too scary especially late at night

I would've felt the same about Bioshock, if my wife hadn't been constantly mocking it.

I get nervous every time I hear the Silent Hill air raid siren.

weird that you hear it in real life.

lot of air raids in Boston.

DARLA
Excuse me, thank you. Alright you little freshmen bitches. Air raid! That was pathetic. Let's try it again. That means get up you lazy little bitches. Get up. Air raid. That was horrible you little slime balls, you little freshmen sluts. Get up, get up. Up, up, up, air raid!

Bully! I need to peg some jocks in the nuts with apples and then make out with the nerd girl before curfew hits.

Burnout Revenge, Devil May Cry 4, Army of Two, and Condemned 2. Because I haven't played any of them yet and I have them all.

I want to go home right now and order a pizza and fire up the wii so bad. I was too exhausted last night to do anything but eat and snooze when I got home

Because I need to work on my drum rolls and get past BOC & Boston on Expert.

I wish I could even get that far. Fuck you, Expert Stone Temple Pilots.

Ha ha 5 starred that sucker. Anyone wants to start a White Stripes cover band, I'll be an awesome / terrible Meg.
