computer game thread

[manhavingbaby]

AIBU in thinking mn needs a computer game thread. I apprectiate I am possibly about to get slaughtered, it would however be nice to see one.

PS3. Love the uncharted series (spent mothers day lounging in bed playing golden abyss on the DH's vita while he entertained the baby- bliss!). Also love bioshock. DH is trying to tempt me to the world of PC gaming, but I barely get on the ps3 with a 4mo, let alone a whole new world of gaming!!

I linked to the section picnic!!! (the videogame link)

Can anyone explaine the attraction of Minecraft?
Serious question, honestly.
DS raves about it as hard as I try, I just don't 'get it'

timetosmile Neither do I. My DS has been playing it all weekend with his best mate and as far as I can make out it's all just about building stuff????

I play COD 4

I play Rift and world of warcraft :)

Im a skyrim addict :)

sims 3.

I know.

Skyrim is my Achilles heel.

I don't get Minecraft either (makes me feel a bit dizzy just watching DS move around). But I think it's like a very clever virtual lego. It's creating and building, and thinking about what you can do with the materials you find. There are some amazing worlds on youtube that DS has bored me to tears with I've seen.

WoW player here although I've not had the money to subscribe for quite a few months now

Biiig gamer here. Currently mning and levelling a level 13 Breton on Skyrim.

I'd live in the game section if we had one and I always get a little bit excited when a gaming thread pops up on MN .

YANBU.

Currently playing final fantasy 13-2 also got skyrim, dragon age 2 and sims 3 on the. Dp is playing wow and final fantasy 14 going on the comp.

I rarely get time now either with 5 month old dd obv happy about dd tho

The Mass Effect series is my all time favorite game/games. There isn't a thing I don't love about it and may or may not have a small tattoo dedicated to it

witch000 I'm tempted to give Rift another go, I played the trial last year and wasn't that impressed. My heart still belongs to EverQuest 2 :(

I'm a massive Xbox nerd. Just finishing off GTA4, then I need to finish Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot in Borderlands. God I love Borderlands!!

Ooh just noticed people loving Skyrim. From playing Oblivion + Skyrim I've come to the conclusion I'm secretly a massive klepto. Last time I checked in Skyrim I'd stolen over 600 items. You guys been to Blackreach yet? Set your faces to stunned when you get in there!

YY to the klepto thing! I am terrible for it.

DP was watching me play and said "You just stole a bucket"

Being over encumbered is the bane of me existence.

If you put a bucket (a cauldron's my favourite) over a shop keeper's head, you can go .

I know, the dragon bones and scales weigh so much! It's ridiculous. I used to hire Marcurio (he's in the inn in Riften, he's a mage) and I'd offload them on him. I finally got to make Dragonscale armour and I only needed about 6 pieces for the whole set, I had about 40 left. Marcurio killed my horse too, the sassy bastard.

Do you play on PC or Xbox?

I play on Xbox, my PC just couldn't handle the graphics unfortunately.

Took a while for me to sink my teeth into it but after the kids are in bed I can happily sit there for hours just wandering around. Never seem to get much questing done

I loved Oblivion too.

I'm excited to get to Blackreach now.

Keeping my horse alive is a game in and if itself

I frequently have to re-load load because he's trotted off of a cliff edge

It's when you have to walk ever so slooooooowly cos you are carrying too much! Can you really put buckets over the shopkeepers head?

Is anyone else a crack shot with a bow in Skyrim? I love the archery, and I am also a klepto.
