What have you been playing lately? Post your progress and such, as well as any gaming-related items you come across.

Personally I've been playing Skyrim a lot. Just finished up the main quest, and now focusing on getting my enchanting and smithing skills to 100. I've also been going around murdering people in Whiterun. The only people that remain are the children, Belethor, Sigrid, Olfrid Battle-Born (can't be killed), Jarl Vignar Grey-Mane (can't be killed) and his family (except for Eorlund Grey-Mane, who was a victim of my battles with the guards after I got caught killing a Dark Brotherhood target), and the people in the taverns.

I've been playing quite a bit of Minecraft Indev....And Yes, I prefer Indev to Minecraft 1.1

[Sparkz47]

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, though I'm stuck at the volcano at the moment. I've also been playing a TON of Starfox 64. I actually lost track of how many times I've played it through. I've also been playing an old favorite of mine, The Beatles: Rock Band.

Played F1 2011 for the first time at a local shop today. I raced as a HRT at Monaco in the rain. Lots of fun.

F1 2011's freaking awesome.

[Rykia]

WolfTeam (best game evah) It's a PC game that's like Call of Duty and Halo combined. Its free, too. You can Google it.

Modern Warfare 3

That's about it.

MW3 is my main game right now. It's pissed me off lately though. I started playing Black Ops again. When I play racing games I'm normally on Grid or F12011. I busted out NTG11 a few days ago after about 4 months. As crappy as it is, I can still find some fun out of it.

I've played RCT 1 and 2 for hundreds of hours in my lifetime. SO much fun, especially to a little kid that would be wiling to ride amyrhing. Or a teenager still willing to ride anything. I was never much for RCT 3 though, not really my style.

[BWard]

Haven't played a video game for quite a while, but I think that NTG 2011, F1 2011 and Gran Turismo 5 as they have amazing online racing.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was an unsuccessful attempt at taking the franchise in a different, more complicated direction. As much a fan of the complicated as I am, I couldn't get into it. I have RCT1 and 2 on the computer though, ready to go at a moment's notice.

[RyanB06]

I've been switching back and forth between Portal 2 and Portal: Still Alive lately. Between those two, Forza 4, and WWE 12, I'm pretty much set - until MLB 12: The Show hits.

NTG11... amazing online racing? Umm... no. If you like drivers crashing every 5 second, epic lag, and 9 year olds who think they know everything about NASCAR and talk the whole time then I guess you can like it. I prefer offline on that game.

[BWard]

It's just what I think. I think it might still produce good racing online, it don't make a difference to me.

Why I will always love TrackMania:

I prefer the older games from the 90's...Grand Prix series (currently playing both GP2 and GP4), as well as Papyrus' IndyCar Racing 2 and Grand Prix Legends (GP2 and ICR2 are available as DOS Abandonware).

[Rykia]

Here's a couple MW3 videos I posted. The first one I also posted in the RDT, because I forgot about this thread

Spoiler:

[JMac525]

I beat The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword about two weeks ago. The epicness of that game inspired me to play through Twilight Princess again.

[pennst24]

NR2003, rFactor, and RCT2 for PC, F1 2011 for PS3. Most of the time I just listen to music.

[navycook75]

I just found my Pokemon Soul Silver game...

Battery died on my DS and I don't have my charger on me....

My top screen is half-broken...as of 3 days ago I can no longer put any pressure from my top screen on my bottom screen.

That title alone makes the game sound like a complete fail.

Oh, the humanity! How I miss Driver for the PS1.....

Hardest Mission? I didn't make it out of Chicago....

[pepsibottle1]

Anyone remember the "survival" mode? Damn, I miss that! If you could do two minutes in that, you were a boss, lol. I don't believe I ever made it past 1 minute, lol

I kinda want to play that right now to be honest, just to see the win again lol! They dont make games like this anymore, haha!

[JMac525]

Speaking of the PSOne, I bought one from a used game shop for $8 yesterday. Anybody have any suggestions for games I should look for?

Not bad suggestions. Although, I'd suggest Smackdown 2.

Dude, that game consumed my childhood! Damn, I miss that!

[Jonny683]

Nascar 98, Oh god the memories....

Wish some of those Tracks were available for NR2K3, I had a BLAST!

ATM Im playing Skyrim and Mass Effect 3. And My god, both games are seriously stupid broken (Yet to reach ending in ME3 so no spoilers!!)

[flyingturns89]

I still have NASCAR 98, and it still works.

[Jonny683]

If It was on the PC and Moddable.....oh man, that would have been EPIC!!

FFVII. Good game. Speaking of, may try to dig my PSOne outta the grave this week, may go try to find Nascar Racing for it and buy it.

[navycook75]

Openspeedway or Forza? Hard to tell which is worse....

have you ever heard of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing? thats more fail than that.

at least Zoo Racer follows the laws of physics, among many other things.

that doesn't hold a candle to Big Rigs though.

when you go in reverse, you can literally break the speed of light.

not to mention the game is so broken that you can't race against the AI, collision detection is practically non existent, and in one level, you fall through a bridge. one of the levels will crash your game. along with that, there's the ever so failtastic "You're winner", The game occasionally fails to distinguish between whether the player is starting or finishing the race when they pass through the starting point, and so this congratulatory screen may appear within seconds of starting a game, ending the race before it even begins.

How non existent is the collision detection? you can drive UP a near vertical mountain and still maintain speed, you go through buildings, trees, and practically any obstacle in the game, along with that, YOU CAN DRIVE OFF THE FREAKING MAP!

At least in Zoo Racer you can race against the AI, there is collision detection, and none of the levels crash your game.

I'd rather play Zoo Racer than play Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

Good times on the PS1, haha. Love this intro

I played the crap out of this game when I was a kid, except it was on the PC. I loved it.
