Me, I'm mostly playing Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I play Skyrim so hard that I talk about my husband Belrand in the way that some soap fans shout at soap villains in the street, and tell anecdotes about their favourite characters as though they were family members. I play New Leaf so hard that I told Shari the Monkey about my dad's cancer diagnosis. Vegas is more like a FWB for me, though. WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING THOUGH?

I am a big "Harvest Moon" fan. My WoW account is awfully negleted lately, the only thing I am actively playing at the moment is "Dr. Mario", while sitting on the toilet ^^"

Oh I played HM "A Wonderful Life" for ages. I married Nami. I'd take our kid to speak to the hippie, the Yeti and the psycho boffin. Then I would take the kid to the pub to shame his mum, and she would ignore him and he would toddle home on his own. This is why I need to not have kids IRL.

I play The Sims 2 and Lord of the Rings Online. I also play a few board games on my iPad, Ticket to Ride is my favourite.

I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan. Right now I'm rocking Mario Kart 8 pretty hardcore, and Animal Crossing New Leaf.

Diablo 3. Damn addiction *shakes fist* and occasionally Sims 3. But mostly feeding my Diablo 3 addiction. Though on the plus with both of those I get audiobook reading done during them.

In the most recent Sims games can you make people with different heights? In the earliest ones everyone was the same height with optional beer belly, so nobody ever looked quite right. Blowpop - you listen to books while gaming?? My FC on ACNL is 3024-6295-2021 and my Dream Address is 7400-4588-5995 for anyone who wants a 4th or 7th Doctor outfit from the Able shop. Try explaining THAT sentence to someone from 10 years ago.

I adore Lego but couldn't believe it would make a good game until I had a quick pop on Batman. Supposedly the films are really good too?

Try explaining THAT sentence to someone from 10 years ago. Yes you can make different height Sims. And yes I do listen to books while gaming. I've so far listened to Carrie (SK), Christine (SK), The Shining (SK), Blood and Smoke (SK), Doctor Sleep (SK), Abandon (Meg Cabot), Stolen (Lucy Christopher), True Grit (Charles Portis), The Hobbit (BBC radio drama version), Doctor Who: The Stone Rose (David Tennant), Hamlet (WS). And I'm in progress (and almost done) with The Canterbury Tales (Geoffrey Chaucer). ALL of those have been 90% Diablo 3. It's real interesting listening to True Grit while fighting the demons from hell......let me tell you...... (on a side note I also listen to audio books while driving sometimes too because driving bores me and I need something to do/focus on.) I adore the Lego games as well. And yeah some of the Lego films are good. Others are meh. But it's all up to personal interest and what you like/don't like etc.

I know what you mean (alas). I'm not as... invested in Skyrim followers as I am in some other games, but I've definitely been there. /highfives. (though I did use a cheat to wed my PC -a trigger-happy, educated but completely prejudiced against magic and magic users, unrefined greatsword-wielder- to Farengar Secret-Fire, simply to spite him in-universe, so there's that.) Lately... NeverWinter Nights and Bioshock. The former has grown on me to the point of addiction. I've just gotten into the latter, but by Jove, is it good.

I am a huge fan of the series, I have SNES - Harvest Moon GB - Harvest Moon (virtual console on the 3DS) GBC - Harvest Moon 2+3 PS1 - HM Back to nature (still my favorite) GBA - Friends of Mineral Town GC - A wonderful Life (never really warmed up with that) - Magical Melody DS - Tale of Two Towns - Grand Bazaar - Sunshine Islands - Island of Happiness - Harvest Moon DS 3DS - A new beginning

Blowpop, that's something I've never considered doing. I used to sometimes listen to The Mamas And The Papas while playing Quake but it wouldn't occur to me to listen to audiobooks - that would make me feel that I hadn't wasted a couple of hours levelling up out in the field on Skyrim or Fallout.
Aveste, I've never heard of NeverWinter Nights but I'll look it up - I have all 3 Bioshocks. I love your manipulative wedding. I did something similar - had my barbarian fella marry the dark elf shopkeeper to scandalise Windhelm, but was most disappointed when none of the elf-h8r NPCs were gossiping about me in the market place.
Draconra, MH:AWL is one of the games I've spent most time fast forwarding through but it was very immersive. I never played Back To Nature but then I no longer have a PS1, wah. I got Magical Melody but couldn't get into it. I started courting the geeky doctor and he creeped me out so I stopped playing.

On Magical Melody, I gave up, getting the timing for those damn notes right was to annoying.

I envy you, Blowpop, being nearly unable to multitask... The only thing I can listen to while in a game is really unobtrusive soundtrack music. (Or russian metal, for some reason.) I love your manipulative wedding. I did something similar - had my barbarian fella marry the dark elf shopkeeper to scandalise Windhelm, but was most disappointed when none of the elf-h8r NPCs were gossiping about me in the market place. Skyrim NPCs are a rather complacent lot, aren't they? Even a dragon passing by is little more than temporary distraction to these folks - so I suppose the rumour of your wedding had died down by the time you got there! NeverWinter Nights is old-ish (2002, if I remember correctly), so its graphics are simplistic, and it's a bit slower and more linear, quest- and gameplay-wise, than modern titles. Expect a lot of backtracking- and caves. Designers seemed to love those. It's also based on a D&D campaign's game mechanics, so luck -or statistics, depending how you see it- plays a significant role in whether or not you're going to land a hit or disarm a trap, for instance. A huge part of it is dungeon-crawling, which I find myself loving. I dunno, I just feel bizarrely affectonate towards this game. The writing's good too, if a bit cheesy (though as a die-hard fan of developer Bioware, it might seem to me that it's good because it's familiar and prefigures a lot of things to come in future games). Once in a while, provided I have nothing else to do, I'll sit down and minutiously comb a died-down village or some wizard's laboratory... or spend the better part of a night keeping a particularily tough boss from turning me into charred remains. Oops. I think you might like it. Bioshock is a complete change of pace- and nicely so. Did you play through all three? Arowhena and DraconRa, all your talk of HM makes me want to buy a handheld...
