Just started playing Dark Souls and holy crap, I'm getting the shit kicked out of me by skeletons.  :-[

I have a feeling I'll have a much harder time with this than with the first game, with the respawning enemies, no stockpiling herbs, etc.

Been really busy with stuff lately, also the lack of a desktop that is within reach (consistently) limits my options.
Skyrim is still fun when I play it. I'm starting to run out of things to do though.
I played through most of Lords of Shadow but I'm not quite there yet. So far I think it's a good game but a bit too 'general'. Doesn't take away the fact that it's a fun game.

Believe me my friend, Dark Souls is far more easier than Demon's Souls, you'll understand what i mean, when you get far on the game. ;)

GOS seemingly became the game, that I've played for the longest time ever. 70 hours and counting. And I am just in one of the final levels.
Now I need to defeat three different bosses with three incomplete (and underleveled) parties in a row.

Replaying Breath of Fire 2. Was one of the first RPGs I ever played and liked. It manages to be exceptionally similar to Final Fantasy yet quite original at the same time (who doesn't like turning into a freaking dragon?).
It's not as great as the beautiful BoF 4, where I believe Capcom reached their peak of originality, yet it's fun in its simplicity. 
One drawback though is that monsters are not very balanced in terms of power. The game throws at you stronger monsters quite fast which forces you to "farm" a lot for leveling up.

Parodius Da! SFC in prepartion for purchasing the SFC version very soon hopefully (hopefully along with a couple FC Twinbee games). Still not done with Parodius collecting, for some reason I need variations of the same game, go figure (PS1 Sexy Parodius is very costly, the MSX Parodius on PS1 is in one of 3 MSX collections for the PS1, on Saturn I have it as one super collection. Inside is Gradius 1-3 MSX, Salamander, Twinbee, and of course Parodius MSX). :P

A friend of mine gave me money to get Spelunky on our Xbox. I love it, especially the co op rife with opportunities for trolling.

I recently purchased an iPhone 5, and just completed Castlevania: Puzzle. Now I am about halfway though FF: Dimensions, which is quite good.

I'm just about finished with Episode 4 of The Walking Dead. Love the comics and the show and this game is just as amazing. A lot of fun for pointing and clicking, but it also makes you think, and I love the difficult decisions it has you make.
What a horrible night to have a curse!

Picked up "The Cave" for my WiiU. Neat game. Really interesting for a platformer with no combat what-so-ever.

Also, broke down yesterday and bought "New Super Mario Bros. U" via download. I'm liking it so far. The flying squirrel suit has interesting mechanics. It's also neat to see what the lands in the relative vicinity of Peach's Castle officially looks like. That said, I should really go back and finish playing NSMBW.

I got "The Cave" as well.  Nice dark humor.
I'm spoiled by the 60fps of that Rayman demo, New Super Mario Bros. U and Trine 2 though, so when The Cave is playing and running at 24-30fps, it seems dated.  The visuals are nice, though!  I need to get back to it.
