My Gaming is All Over The Place Right Now

Pixlbittallion Ten Hut! or Eleven Hut, whichever you prefer.

I've been trying to play games that are not RPGs but it's not really working. I did get into The Puppeteer for a day but this weekend I'm now playing Diablo III (solo), Rainbow Moon and I've started playing Etrian Odyssey IV again.

Prof Layton and the Miracle Mask Cover Art

I've been trying to get into the Prof. Layton game Miracle Mask but while I've been sucked right into the earlier DS games it's not happening here. I'll do a couple of puzzles and then lose interest.

I've also been checking out some of my vast PC library which is good, but I tend to only play in short bursts so that's bad.

I started Divinity 2 which while it does play in 3rd person the movement still makes me feel sick. I think it's because I'm too close to the screen.

I've also played a bit of Book of UnwrittenTales, Night of the Rabbit and the first episode of Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space.

I can't seem to settle on anything.

Shadowman Cover

Got Shadow Man as part of a bundle a while back. I thought it would be cool to have because I've sold my Dreamcast version. It doesn't fucking work on Windows 8!

In thrift store finds I picked up the Genesis game Boogerman: a Pick and Flick Adventure. It had the case with it but no manual.

Bravely Default Cover

I also put my Bravely Default CE on Amazon. The cards and music CD are still sealed and the artbook was never used. I can always buy a regular copy if I want to play it again.

As you were. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em

I'm right there with ya for being all over the place. I'm between Tekken Revolution & Hitman Absolution on the PS3, Tropico 4 on PC and FFX on Vita. I generally try do one game at a time but my focus lately has been all over the shop.

I decided I was going to beat Tomb Raider. I'm at a point where the endless melee of assholes with machine guns in very close vicinity to me and in spaces where there is very little room to run is making me regret that decision.

I could never get into the Prof. Layton games because the puzzles required too much math. I am looking forward to Prof. Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, though.

Boogerman is one of the reasons why I didn't play many 2-D platformers in the 16-bit eara.

I have the limited edition Bravely Default, but I'm not selling it. I've got the limited edition of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy Curtain Call pre-ordered already.

I think Boogerman showed up in Clayfighter 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut, which is why I want to play that Genesis game.

I've been pretty focused in my gaming lately. I decided I didn't want to play games randomly as choosen from backloggery's Fortune Cookie, but instead play the most recent first. So on handheld that ment going back to Etrian Odyssey Untold, which I did for a few hours, then I realized I wanted to play Tearaway and it was slightly more recent, so I went out and got it and started it last night. It uses the camera in the Vita to put your face in the opening sequences and open a portal into whatever's shown on the outward facing cameras. I also used the back touch screen for the first time. I worry I'll loose my grip on the Vita.

Boogerman is pure grossness. You enter levels by flushing yourself down a toilet and you burp and flick boogers at enemies. You also collect toilet plungers along the way. What's not to love?

Ah, that's music to my ears. I put it on my wishlist.

Yo, if youve ever got any handhelds you want to sell, let me shoot an offer before you Amazon them. Im in the market for portable gaming and would much rather spend money with friends

I've been also zig-zagging on my gaming on Steam. The only constant was playing PSP Ridge Racer on my trip to Prague.

Its always a treat to find a Genesis game with a case around my area. I don't know why folks seem to either lose the cases or toss them. I've been like you jumping around from different games.

fight that RPG urge. I know it's summer and might be a good time to game that genre but really there is more to life than RPG's.

....

Like FPS's!

I've been pretty focused, myself. Just grinding a bit in Conception II in hope that it'll be enough to wrap things up and finally move onto A Link Between Worlds.

Still have my Bravely Default CE, with no intention of giving it up any time soon.

I wound up taking my listing off Amazon because my son started playing it last week.
