I hadn't played any of those games. I'll get to Skyrim someday. I'm currently playing some old stuff. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) and Metal Gear (PS3). The Metal Gear I'm playing is part of the recently released Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection, so it's sort of new.

Hey guys, so I'm back to the world of the sober, and I don't like that. So I'm escaping soberland to videogame land. And it is glorious. So what have I been playing?
Rise of the Triads
This game runs like arse on my computer for some reason. I was like, yeah I can get 50 fps on battlefield 3 on the highest settings, I could max this out no problems. Nope. To acheive 60 FPS (The minimum you need to play a twitch shooter IMO) I had to drop this sucker down to medium, turn the ambient occlusion, bloom, and shadows off. So now it runs well, but it kinda looks like arse. Hopefully they patch this soon.
Do I care though? No, because I shot a dude with a rocket launcher and his eyeballs got stuck on the camera for a few seconds. I shot a dude with a machine gun and he split in half, spraying blood every where and sending internal organs everywhere. Don't worry though, the game is very cartoony, so it's not like this is ultra disturbing. The gunplay is smooth and it feels good, there are secrets everywhere, and the humour is humourous. This is everything Duke Nukem Forever should have been.
Mighty Quest For Epic Loot
This game may devour my life. Ok, so the premise of this game is simple - raid other players castles and steal their money. It plays like a Diablo clone for the most part in this style. However, there are no maps, you have to navigate the castle purely by guessing where to go and there's a time limit. If you don't get to the end in time, you don't get their sweet glorious loot.
If you manage that though, you spend your sweet glorious loot on building up your castle. You can put different monsters and traps in your castles, and change the castles layout. There's a limit on how many enemies you can place, and how many rooms you can have, so you have to make the absolute best of what you can in the limitations. I've stopped 12 people from reaching my castle. I've taken over twice as many as that. I've lost about the same amount. But damnit, I'm going ot keep on playing. It's free and in beta atm if you want to play it. Which I highly recommend you do, because it's awesome.
Skyrim
Back to Skyrim. Curse you modders! I've got like over 100 mods on it now! Ok, so my game now looks like that. I have an enb mod on, a realistic lighting mod on, a bloom mod on, and many other graphics mods. I've also got a mod that makes me die of hypothermia, thirst, hunger, and makes it so I have to bathe and sleep regularly. I have a mod that gives me better hair styles, and makes it so people aren't so ugly. I've got a mod that makes the game gorier, making cuts in bodies, better looking blood and splurting effects. I've got a mod that adds baby dragons. I've got a mod that adds a fucking mammoth as a pet. i've got a mod that gives me a bunch of viking, pirate, medieval and other styles of armour. And most importantly... SKYRIM IS AMAZING WHEN MODDED! Seriously, every problem I had with this game has been modded out! Hooray for mods!

So that's me done. Have you played any of the games above (Apart from skyrim, which is obvious, but you can talk about it anyway. What have you guys been playing? Do you want to play any of those games? Let me know. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
