Finished the original Gears of War earlier this month, and the Resident Evil 4 > Gears of War > Vanquish inspiration exchange is as clear as day now. Also I was about halfway through the game when I twigged what the title was about. 'Ohh, cogs'.

I don't understand. What games are we playing?
I just got The Last of Us. I hear it's good and it's pretty neat so far.

Yup you just stepped into a currently playing thread, boyo.
For The Last of Us ignore the best game ever talk and enjoy it for what it is. I played it with Russian audio and pretended it was the aftermath of a US bombing. This would be a good time to find out how the spoiler function works.

I just finished Mass Effect Andromeda and while I get the disappointment I don't get the hate. It was very well written and I enjoyed every second. And I felt like I BUILT Ryder into the hero he became, Shepard had the story built in. As for what next ... I need to see from my list what I want to start up *rolls out a list of about 100 games ...* Um ... until I decide I'm just rocking out on Rock Band 4 again to kill time I don't have.

Currently balls deep in Diablo 3, got the Reaper of Souls edition on the cheap and currently in that expansion chapter. Good fun, quite easy but there's enough difficulty levels to keep it interesting going forward.

Don't know if this works for anybody else but I use the same methods for picking the next game to play as I do picking my PPV predictions. If I try to apply any kind of thought process it becomes my second job.

Having never played 2, no im not! However it is very good, easy to pick up and play for any length of time. Story could be a little less obvious, but it's forgiven because there's a fair bit to do on it!

Aiming with a Dualshock 3 on Resident Evil 5 is ghastly when your last Resident Evil was RE4: Wii Edition. When I first started I was all 'maybe if I aim left to right really quick I can pistol whip them.'

Gaming pun of (my) year:
The pre-boot splash screen for WarioWare: Smooth Moves on the Nintendo Wii:
"It's a Wii, Wario!"

ESO on PS4 and Overwatch on PC mainly, if and when I have time.

Oh and auto-accelerate for MK8 Deluxe is like the modern day no jump button in OoT. Mario Kart is now a horizontal axis plus two buttons game. Top stuff.

I started a new game on EWR; trying to run Shimmer with the concept that nobody gets fired. However, a few people have already washed out (low moral, took the release). I don't know how long this game is though since keeping everyone is hemorrhaging money
I'm also still playing Pokemon Island, probably my favorite fan game; slowly I'm working my way to have all the Pokemons

I bought Fallout 4 last Christmas, and I'm still playing it. It's taken actual months on my life from me.
