So occasionally I will do this thing where I play many games all at once. Never one at a time, but all at once. This is a terrible idea, and I somehow continuously engage in this guaranteed disaster. I call it serial gaming. It’s a bad habit of mine. Anyway, let’s talk about what I am playing!
The girlfriend and I celebrated our one-year-anniversary together. I got her a necklace, she got me the Fire Emblem 3DS. Yeah, I’m aware she’s a keeper.
Anyway, I’m playing the game and I’m loving it. The only problem I have is that it’s a major time sink for me. I want to level up every single character even though I will never use them all at the same time. The game itself gives you many chances to do this too. There is a literal unlimited amount of battles you can undergo before you beat the game.
I have also indulged in Farcry 3: Blood Dragon. This is an excellent expansion on the Farcry 3 engine, and quite frankly, is what Duke Nukem Forever should have been. At times I am feeling like I am living in a Tron like world, and I love every single second of it. The game in itself is a parody of all games, and even sometimes the damned feather fetching in Assassin’s Creed.
Last, but not least, I just jumped into an MMO. Dungeons and Dragons: Neverwinter. It’s free-to-play, and currently in open beta. This is one of the best put together MMO’s that I have seen in a while. I’m a big DnD nerd, but this is kinda that virtual icing on the cake that I needed. It’s pretty laid back so far, and it doesn’t feel like you’re nickel-and-dimed every step of the way like some other free-to-play games.
I will most likely write reviews for all of these, as soon as I am finished with the last part of my three-article-series on the next generation consoles.
Peace out everyone!

Major time sink is your only flaw for Awakening? Impossible! That’s too harsh!!! xD
…(But yeah, it steals all your time!)
