World of tanks and only world of tanks. A friend got me into over a year ago. A few months into it i joined an in-game clan. Next thing you know, the founder abdicates and leaves me with the leadership. It is almost a full time job in itself. So no time to play other games, have to put the clan first. And yes, i use the same screen name in the game.

After watching Dawn play through what I'm assuming is close to the last fourth of the main story of Ni No Kuni, I decided to give it a shot (before BioShock Infinite comes in the mail at least).

I'm floored by the visuals in the game *.* I especially love how the overworld in the game looks. And of course playing a video game where Joe Hisaishi does the soundtrack is a huge plus for me.

Playing some Rogue Galaxy and Silent Hill 3. I'm a latecomer to the survival horror genre, only really getting into them in the past 3-4 years. I generally like them.

I'm too chicken to play survival horror games. Fortunately, there are "Let's Play" videos on YouTube for Silent Hill and other games. The best is watching PewDiePie freaking out while playing scary games.

Got a bunch of COD maps and having a blast playing the zombie levels.

I recently resumed the first Legend of Heroes game that was released on the PSP in English. I started it a few years ago. It's okay, but even for a remade retro RPG, it is pretty basic. Black magic attacks may or may not be effective towards enemies, so I usually don't even bother with them and just use melee attacks. White magic such as healing consumes very little MP, and the pet cat is constantly finding items for me. It is very charming, but simplistic, linear, and easy. It's main charm is the fact that it's a remade version of an old early '90s RPG. That and the confusing grammatical errors in the translation.

I got off work early today and headed to a Sega game center in town I haven't been to before. I was pleased to find Death Smiles right next to Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystaria. 100 yen gave two credits. I 1CCd (1 credit cleared) the game with Sakyura (I think that's her name... the witch who looks like Maria from Sakura Taisen) and scored 28,668,489. With the second game, I played Casper and 1CCd it again, but with only 18,182,861 points. I think I played this game after it first came out in Japan, and the last time I played it was a few years ago on my bud's 360 (I don't own any current gen game systems). On top of that, while playing the game the second time through, the left direction shooting button stopped responding half the time. Often I had to smack it 3 times before it started shooting left. I chose at random the levels 1-3, but I did not choose the level 999 (I bet that's more akin to a typical Cave game).

My favorite games are Catherine, Alice the Madness Returns, and Duke Nukem Forever. I was into Neverwinter Nights in a BIG way. I like playing the female character because the spells and moves are a lot more detailed and colorful. I am a Walking Dead fan and I am playing the AMC version of the Walking Dead game.

Played some PC Engine SCD games I bought years ago, waited to get a Turbo CD drive to play it on (I have the TG16). I finally gave up on ever getting one (let alone affordably) and opted to play my SCDs through the ootake emulator this week. Shbinbinman 3, Valis IV, and Dracula X. Dracula X is indeed a jaw droppingly impressive game. The game animation is unbelievably smooth.
