I have to avoid timesink games. I lost a year to Skyrim. Don't have that much time to kill these days between work, classwork, band and job search stuff.

Speaking of timesink games, just started a new character on Fallout: New Vegas last night. Only played it through once, unlike Fallout 3, which has consumed about 1K hours of my life between 3 characters and playthroughs.

I am very selective about the games I play because of the timesink. I have well over 1500 hours logged on Oblivion, 2k on Skyrim, 12-1300 on Fallout 3 and probably another 1000 on New Vegas. Also probably another 1500 hours for Borderlands 2 and a whole bunch across the Mass Effect series.

I like RPGs a lot.

I am playing Destiny on PS4 but disappointed is a massive understatement for me. I think it is probably the single worst "highly anticipated" release on any console/PC in the last 10 or so years. I feel like Bungie really pissed the bed with it. That said, it is somewhat entertaining for me but it will be sold probably 2-3 days before the next Borderlands title is released. I don't see it as a viable game for more than 6 months unless the DLC is mind blowing/game changing. Its just a terrible RPG, terrible story, par at best shooter that looks super beautiful and can be fun if dancing around grinding health bars away with friends appeals to you. IF I have friends on it does appeal to me for a while. Playing the game solo is agonizingly boring.

The last real video game system I owned was a sega genesis. I don't count the wii since its like a party game system to me.

I have a soft spot for sega. My uncle had one when they first came out (which he gave me). Altered beast, cyber ball, space harrier 2, golden axe, and later titles like streets of rage, techno Super Bowl, eternal champions, Joe Montana football...

Also had a ps1 and 2. Reminds me, need to install diablo 2 on this computer. I need something to occupy me so I don't drink too much. I love listening to different music while grinding too. Isis, cult of luna, zozobra, pelican... Man. Now I'm real excited to play. Grind some poopie to still valley! Lol!

i just recently completed the game again with an NCR fists-dude with a moustache. i have to say Guns are done so well in new vegas that i don't think i want to change it up again! once i have it on PC though i'll go through again with some mods.

i have a ton of time on borderlands 2 as well. mass effect was a great series to run through with the girlfriend (except for ME1's atrocious combat).

i'm enjoying Destiny, probably because i avoided the hype train like the plague. hit level 20 last week (3 weeks late on buying the game!) and am nearly to 22. slowly ranking up with the New Monarchy to get the Order armour. PvE play was fairly disappointing - wave after wave with disjointed terribly vague story. grimoire cards are nice to read while at work though for some context.

to be honest, i'm a PvP kind of guy - and what they've put together for this game is exactly what i wanted from Halo, but even better. 3.0kd last night on Control - yay Bladedancer.
