What We Played for Week Ending June 3

This is a weekly segment where we share what games we are currently playing for our readers to get to know us a bit better. Said games can range from to current and from casual to games.

If we’re playing it, we’ll share it. Please feel free to comment with what you’re playing or your opinions on the games that we’re involved with.

Jeff: It’s been a Shinji Mikami week. I finished up a few chapters in Resident Evil 4, worked about 1/4th into Resident Evil 2‘s first disc, and wrapped up the week with Vanquish, Platinum Games’ crazy sci-fi shooter, which put to rest any doubts that the studio can deliver a great game in Metal Gear Rising: . At least, so long as Kojima Productions stays in charge of the plot.

Jen: Got the urge to play the Third again. I didn’t do much, save for grabbing all of the collectibles and started to work on a few side missions. I love that game! Played a little bit of Audio Surf via Steam. Great music game, cheap too! Then there’s the usual SWTOR play.

Charles: Being the huge PC gamer that I am, I had Max Payne 3 pe-ordered so it’s been taking up a crap load of my time. The story is phenomenal; I’m a sucker for good storylines. Speaking of good storylines, I also FINALLY got LA Noire to work on my PC (updated graphics card woes), having beat it on PS3 I’m excited to play it through on my PC with all the DLC’s. Didn’t get to play with Phelps too much though as Max Payne still has all ma heartz. OMGWTFE3YAY

William: , Heroes of Newerth, Diablo 3, and Draw Something were my games this weekend.

League and HoN are as good as ever. I’ve settled in to Tristana as my go to AD Carry, and had a few decent games with Udyr top lane. In HoN I’ve really grown to like Armadon and Puppetmaster.

Diablo 3 is actually starting to lose its ability to hold my attention. Upon reaching Hell difficulty, I find my Monk completely incapable of dealing with most elite packs, and playing the public games that consist of nothing but Demon Hunters and Wizards, I see my damage output is several, -several-, times lower in comparison. With equal or better gear. For a melee class that has no disengaging abilities this is very confusing. The lack of class balance is jarring compared to how well Blizzard usually executes their games.

Legend of Dragoon sees me dying over and over to the Eternal Dragon… I’ll have to grind for that one I think, and Draw Something, I have learned, is -way- more fun when everyone is in the same room. Then again, it’s essentially Pictionary with imposed constraints on colors, and all the drawings extra bad because of how difficult using your thumb to draw is. Good times.

Logan: Trying to get through the STALKER series. Stopped in the first game due to it scaring me and I had the urge to get back into it and try again! Still getting through Shadow of Chernobyl, slowly but surely. A little bit of   and here and there as well. Getting excited for the next weekend coming up!

Greg: Still playing Fallout: New Vegas, getting towards the end, starting the DLC now. Still a great game. Been really enjoying exploring the Mojave Wasteland, and shooting a bunch of bad guys.

Slowly making my way though Diablo 3. Mid-way through Act 2 NM with my Demon Hunter. I find the game hard to play solo, but is it really fun with a group. Looking forward to continuing on with my friends.

Started 1 again, this time as a Adept (never played before). I’m going for the full Trilogy run, so I have quite a few hours ahead of me. Something I’ve wanted to do since I finished Mass Effect 3 the first time, so let’s see how it goes.

  1. I’m going to try and make this as short as possible, I started going out with this guy (lets call him C) In 2008 summer time. It was basically a summer fling but he was my first everything! I fell in love so quick with him until he confessed he had cheated in the very beginning of our relationship. He cried on my shoulder about it and everything and I knew he was sorry but I couldn’t get over it. I ended up dumping him for another guy and thats when shit happened. I basically ditched everyone including my friends for the other guy and they all started hating me and I got in a fight and jumped by my old friends because they didn’t like me anymore. I eventually broke up with the other guy because he was really mean and I dropped out of school because I was getting bullied. ( this all happened 2008-2009.) now After I broke up with the other guy me and C started talking again and eventually went out. It wasn’t the same though, he had told me he cried everynight after I broke up with him and kept asking why did I break up with him. He turned into a big hoe basically and started screwing everything. I was his first and before I knew it he had slept with 9 girls. I noticed me and his relationship was different this time around because all he seemed to want was sex so I called it quits again. Now the depression got a hold of me again, I now have anxiety problems, and I’m now anti social. I tried getting my GED but I was just too damn depressed to even do so I gave up. Now around my birthday (Novemeber,2010) C and I started talking back again, I went to go visit him ( my mistake) and we ended up having sex, we basically became sex partners but one day I dropped the Love word on him and later on he told me he didn’t think we were ever going to work so I discontinued all contact with him until recently. I now have a job, I have a couple friends and I hang out and go out a lot with my family. I’m kind of happy. But I made a mistake, last week I saw an old friend who happens to be really close to C, we talked and he was brought up. She told me he was looking for me and he wanted to speak to me and I remember getting weird phone calls from what looked like his number but no one ever said anything. So later that night I texted him and we got to talking, he asked me to meet up with him one of these days so I did. I saw him two days ago and lets just say things got out of control, we ended up having sex again (smh) and right after I knew it was a bad idea. Because 1. he is leaving for college in georgia in two weeks. ( we live in MA right now) 2. I’m not sure if he even loves me and I’m way too scared to ask.
    What do I do, I’m sitting here crying but I’m not only in love with but I envy him, He has all these things going for him and I’m stuck here with absolutely nothing but a low paying job. I was the one who had to suffer in the end. Now I’m still in love with a guy that probably doesn’t love me back.

    (also he had a thing for lying about talking to other girls too, he’s been in a relationship for a couple months with this girl but he never claims her and I felt horrible for even talking to him. I feel bad for the girl because he is playing her. I also asked about her and he told me that they went out for a couple months back in march thru June and she ended it because she can’t put up the fight with him leaving. I think they still talk tho.)

  2. My lovely boyfriend and I had been going out for 8 months when we broke up 3 weeks ago. He was my second boyfriend but my first serious relationship, and the first boy I fell in love with. We had a fantastic relationship for the about 6 of the 8 months, we were super supportive of each other and we told each other we loved each other every day. The only problem was that our relationship was long-distance ; a 4 hour journey by car, or a 6 hour journey by train or bus. We were making it work though, by taking turns to travel down to visit each other in school midterms, texting every day, and skyping some weekends.

    But after the 6 months, things got a little rocky. He started drawing away from me, becoming monosybillic when we texted and taking hours to reply, and never talking to me about stuff in his life, whereas I told him everything. I put it down to pressure and stress, seeing as hes doing his leaving certificate exams in June. I tried to talk to him about it but he just continued to push me away.

    I missed him a lot when I couldnt see him, so I got excited when I found out that a mutual friend was to be playing a gig over the easter holidays from school. I immediately text him and invited him down to go with me, and I was really upset when he said he wouldnt be coming to visit at all over the break. At this point it had been 6 weeks since we last saw each other, and I missed him really badly. He then proceeded to inform me that the next time we would see each other would be mid- to end of June, after his leaving cert.

    I thought it over for weeks, and 3 weeks ago I came to a conclusion. I knew that our relationship put extra pressure on him as it was, and I missed him so much it genuinely hurt. So I broke it off, and I really regret it. I love him, and I cant get him out of my head. We ended on good terms, and we’re still friends, but I want him back. I miss him more now than before. What should I do? Tell him how I feel, or let him move on? Please help!

  5. I want to assist him in survival horror works. How can i impress him as a friend. Give some help so that he can accept my handshake. I am crazy 23 yr. old boy. Only SHINJI MIKAMI knows what i like i.e. SURVIVAL HORROR. Tell the way by which he will read my message.

  6. I was wondering if anyone had an steam account that they don’t use much and have audio surf? I was wondering this because I cannot buy it and I really want to have it after the demo expired. I will not delete the steam account I just want to play the audio surf. Can anyone help?

  7. I havn’t played first one, but is it unique, or just another FPS game?

    What features does it have?
    What makes it individual?
    And is it FUN?
