You guys use AIM? I should really get on that shit, but I don't want to run another client.

But... but... but... but... I was about to start working on my backlog. If you guys get on I'll get on.

Well then the menu lied. It might be something they changed in a patch but didn't bother to actually change the menu text about it.

Level 15 for 2 abilities. Or at least that's what the menu was telling me earlier.

OH! Smoke bomb is one of the special powers? My special power is disguise. That's why I couldn't do it. I'll have to switch it back to smoke bomb, that would be much more useful.

So, I have amassed quite a backlog this year. Now, however, I have several weeks off from school during Christmas break. This thread will chronicle my attempts to make progress through my backlog. The games I intend to tackle are, in alphabetical order: PC Batman: Arkham Asylum Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Blacklight: Tango Down Borderlands Darwinia Defense Grid: The Awakening Deus Ex Deus Ex: Invisible War Dirt 2 Fallout: New Vegas (one more playthrough) Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead 2 Metro 2033 Mount and Blade: Warband RUSH Shadowrun STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl STALKER: Call of Pripyat Star Wars: Empire at War Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Starcraft 2 Supreme Commander 2 Tropico 3 Tropico 3: Absolute Power Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising The Witcher X3: Reunion X3: The Terran Conflict PS3 3D Dot Game Heroes Aliens vs. Predator Valkyria Chronicles Xbox 360 Dragon Age: Origins DLC Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening Enslaved Greed Corp Just Cause 2 Mass Effect 1&2 (more playthroughs) Shadow Complex Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Sonic and Knuckles Splosion Man Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition Tales of Vesperia Worms 2: Armageddon Now, I have no illusions that I'm going to get through all of these, but this is the full list of games I would like to make progress on, and so gives me a good way to gauge my progress. I will update this list as I progress, crossing off games that I finish. *Edit* - To clarify (not that anyone probably cares): marking off a game does not mean I'm done with it forever, just that I feel that I've played it sufficiently to take it out of the "to play" pile. So for games with a campaign, it means I've either completed the campaign or decided I don't like it enough to justify completing the campaign. For stuff like Dirt it just means I've played it enough to not feel like I wasted my money buying it. Currently: Tropico 3.

How do you smoke bomb?

How do you smoke bomb? I tried to do that once and nothing happened and I got stabbed in the face.

I am investigating and will get back to you.

Does anyone know what the update that just went live for this does? It's massive, almost as big as the game itself was. Like 1.6 GB.

Haha, oh. I was just like "he posted that an hour ago... still no raptr field... guess I'll do it."

No, I know, it just surprised me that it would be that way, I guess. You don't have anything comparable to my Civ example?

Dean's too slow, so I added it.

Really? Seems pretty easy to me. For instance, I like Civ IV and Civ V better than Civ II, but Civ II did more to shape me as a gamer so it gets on the list while IV and V do not.

Probably more likely to get a response in the general Monday Night Combat thread on the multiplat board.

Me too. I think part if it is that I don't like the DS3 as much as the 360 controller. There was actually a 360 controller imitator for the PS3 that I almost bought, but it doesn't support rechargeable batteries.

Didn't bother me, though the part that I originally quoted would have made me quit if I wasn't sure that it was like, the very end of the game already. *Edit* -

Why do you care whether we enjoy our gamerscore or not?

I have about 200 points but I can only buy either 400, 800, or 1600 points. If I wait for the free 400 points, then I only have to spend 10 bucks instead of 20 I'm cheap Oh, my bad, I thought you could buy them in 1200 Point increments too. But if you're referring to the 400 points for buying stuff during the December Deal or whatever it's called, I don't think we actually get those until late January.

I like how it looks when it's shut, but I do not like the manner in which if flips open. So that cover is just like flopping around while you're on the phone? *Edit* - I'm sorry, I don't mean to be criticizing your taste, it's just I'm looking to be getting a smartphone in the near future and I've also been trying to find a style of case that I like.

The green case isn't part of the box art. I don't mind the green, though the smoky PS3 cases are better. I hate the white Wii cases though.

Oh, me too. I'm not trying to criticize God of War, I'm just saying I don't personally have any interest in even trying it. I mean, you've got to have some kind of filter. No one has time to play every single game that comes out.

Here's my post from this thread's brother in the Old Country: Now let's see if I can motivate myself to actually write about each of them...
