I'm watchin my sister play Journey. She was stuck in one area for half an hour... an area that should have taken one minute. I'm trying to help her out, but she won't stay with a companion and tries to do the same shit for an hour running even though it never works. I didn't know that anyone could be bad at Journey, but DAMN. Is it the underground tower? That one can be daunting first go, but I don’t think a half hour. On a side note, how beautiful is Journey? Every image in that game is awe-inspiring. And it has the greatest game soundtrack ever, bar none.

Every image in that game is awe-inspiring. And it has the greatest game soundtrack ever, bar none. Well before the underground tower. She got stuck in the little bit right before the sandsurfing. I was trying to hint to try all of her controls, but she wouldn't listen. She says that she only met one person on her journey right at the beginning, but she didn't know what she was doing yet and didn't follow. She gave up somewhere underground, I think. On that side note, is undeniably beautiful. Did you see this video breaking down how the music was used?

Resident Evil 2 is out in nine days AND I AM FUCKING STOKED. I watched a speedrun of the first four Resident Evil games from AGDQ. It amazing how they can beat 4 in 90 minutes when it took me like 4 weeks.

I am around 2-3 hours into Red Dead Redemption. Does this, um... get better? Or is it just a series of minigames with shitty controls interspersed with random quests with equally shitty controls that usually wind up devolving into minigames with even shittier controls?
And if Bonnie opens her countrified cowgirl mouth again I'm shooting her in the damn face and to hell with the consequences.

Just about done with Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. So, uh, Kingdom Hearts is turning into Star Wars now.

But I keep running back to Diablo II.

Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded (Cutscenes only) - I just sat through three hours of cutscenes to watch five minutes of actual plot relevant info! God, this series is getting so aggressively convoluted.

Path of Diablo... it's D2, but modded so it's slightly different.
Just finished Act 2, where I don't think I've actually done it in its entirety (err, I mean not getting rushed through it) in a long, long time.

Right now, I'm thinking with portals.
I watched Paddington 2 tonight and that scene with Paddington walking through the pop-up book made me slightly sick, because the swooping camera was triggering flashbacks of falling through the floor at 300 mph to shoot a hole in a wall so I could fly out of it and over another wall.

Has anyone else had massive problems with the default PC controls for Portal? I've literally remapped everything but the trigger buttons and I've had to change the mouse sensitivity so I could actually turn faster than three degrees a second. It's a fun game, but I have had so, so many problems with simple things like turning around or climbing up those damn stairs that I need to jump over. Jump over! It's a first person shooter and they're throwing in PLATFORMING ELEMENTS!
...I take it back about being a fun game. It's a game with a lot of good ideas.

I finished Mass Effect a few days ago. It was a great game so I started Mass Effect 2. It's absolutely fantastic so far, might be even better than the first one.

I didn't like the first game (played it twice now and the second time cemented my opinion), but ME2 is pretty great. I have small gripes with its story (the characters only interact with Shepard and never each other, the missions are all pretty self-contained and mean nothing in the big picture, and even in the context of the whole trilogy ME2 basically comes off as a sidequest in terms of importance), but the gameplay is quick and fun and the characters are a blast. And then ME3 fixed all of the problems I had with 2. Mind you, it had... problems... of its own, but I still hold it as the best of the trilogy, and the trilogy as a whole is one of the finer game experiences I've ever had.

I definitely plan to play Mass Effect 3, after finishing the second game. And I agree that the characters in Mass Effect 2 are much more interesting than in the first game.

After remapping the entire godawful control scheme of PC Portal and upping the mouse's responsiveness to maxed out, it was a lot more enjoyable. I should have done it earlier, though. Only complaint after fixing the controls is that the very final jump at the end requires a ridiculous skill set that hasn't been used all game. I mean, it's possible to pull it off, but throwing that at the player at the very end of the final level is mean.

Martin Stett , What’s your favorite thing about space?! Mine is space! Space! I feel like I should know this reference... Is it Conrad Verner? Because he is one of my favorite things about space. If there was no space, there would not be room enough for his stupidity. So that's an added bonus.

He helped me cope after the previous level, which left me kind of pissed off. I feel that he is the only person that understood me. I deeply regret murdering him.

While I'm waiting for a PS3 copy of Portal 2 (no more PC controls for this guy, I'm not used to them), I've decided to pick up my level 97 character from Dark Souls. I got pissed when I tried beating the final boss and got him to 1 health before getting killed, and if you get frustrated in that game, you'll lose more and more. Still, I have such fond memories of dying repeatedly...
The thing is, I'm relearning the controls and trying to get all of my precious humanity back, and boy is it a drag... I'd probably have to start over from the beginning, and as much as I enjoyed the game for what it was (tough but fair... but tough), I'm not sure I wish to do that.

I seriously can't believe how much fun Dark Souls is. I'm replaying it again from the start, AND THIS TIME I SHALL SUCCEED.
Just beat the Capra Demon after bursting into tears repeatedly upon dying half a second in five times straight. And that's the thing: Every time I lose, I grit my teeth, pull my belt tighter, wipe my eyes, take a deep breath, and try a different tactic. And when it works, there's so much fun in having pulled it off. No other game I've played keeps me coming back like this, even though every time I play I usually wind up thinking "it really isn't all that fun." But looking back on the glory days of taking out Ornstein and Smough, of encountering your first hollow swarm (I knew something was up when I saw two separate ghosts *sprinting* in the opposite direction of where I was headed), of seeing Anor Londo and knowing that somehow, against all odds, you've made it... two thirds of the way through the game? SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
