LAME!

Anyone play Saints Row the Third yet?

Also has anyone found a way to have multiple characters in Skyrim? I just hit 37 and I feel like playing a sneaky Khajit with a bow and dagger.

I wish, I played the crap out of SR2. I haven't had a spare moment to play much lately between getting married in Sept and 60+ hr work weeks. When they announce HL episode III I have to buy a copy of portal 2 and replay episode II just to get caught up on the plot line.

Yep, been playing it, but I haven't been able to devote much time to it. I am about 19% completed on the story line. Still lost of side missions. The clothes and character options are awesome, some of the stuff you can do in this game is so over the top, but somehow it just works. Like you can just walk down the street and start dancing with someone or you can do a wresting move on them. The driving I feel is better this time around, and I love jumping off a building and throwing my parachute.....now that's fun.

They also added in a new voice this time.......ZOMBIE! I haven't tried it yet, but I am thinking about going to the plastic surgery and having it done heh.

Xplay gave this game a 5 out of 5. I am hoping it keeps me busy until Mass Effect 3

I bought one, all Frank(Drez)'s fault!

Had a few friends pick up a 360 recently so I have been playing boarderlands with them and got back into Halo. Nothing to new yet except Gears 3(horde mode is fun as hell).

Almost forgot about HL Ep III, it's been how long?

P.S nice look revolver in your avatar

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/80038-55.html It's the next gun purchase on my radar.
I have a similar but blued Colt Python that my mom keeps as a self defense gun. I started using backwoods as my handle long before I became aware of the backwoods line of cigars, I should probably change it to avoid confusion (I'm just a guy that likes to shoot crap out in the woods, I don't smoke 'em). I digress.

Did anyone notice much in the way of tie-ins with the HL storyline in Portal 2? (Don't tell me specifics, I haven't played it yet.)

My new Game Informer came in, RAINBOW SIX is back!!!!!!!!! Called Patriots, unfortunately it won't be out till 2013

[Bill86]

Interesting I'll look into it sometime this week.

Started a new character in Skyrim level 13 Khajit, sneak + bows is insanely overpowering.

Thing is, with light armor you sorta need sneak + ranged.

It gets a little tricky when you agro more than one at a time and can't one-shot them. Then there's the 'uh oh...here they come' moments.

I keep wanting to start a mage focused toon but I just can't see going through all of this more than once.

Yeah I'm working on one handed now. We'll see how it goes. So far I'm good with just ranged.

If you go one-handed, dual daggers are great with sneak, since there's that 15x perk (all the way up the right side. Might require sneak 70 or so. Not sure, I'm just back from a 6 jack & coke lunch.) I may keep a couple 1h swords in favorites (now that I'm finding some juicy glass ones) for plain "once they've found me" combat.

I'm not really jazzed about too many of the 1h perks though. I've generally not used anything other than daggers, so those extra bleed/crit/whatever perks just don't interest me much.

I hit level 42 over the weekend. I still haven't touched the main quest line since about level 15

Been working on assassin/thief guilds and their quest lines - along with the random tasks provided by people around town.

I played all weekend on my computer's gaming monitor along with watching MLG SC2 tournament on my TV. Damn it feels good to be a geek-ster

I'll say this though: If you haven't reached Blackreach yet, you're in for a serious treat.

[Bill86]

Yeah I'm noticing a problem now. Level 23 and I do TONS of damage but for some reason that's not enough

I've got a glass bow upgraded with BS, enchanted. Level 46 sneak and 46 bow, never tried daggering it yet. Waiting on that 15x multiplier.

Gold is a bit tight too, I'm tempted to start robbing all the local businesses and fencing the gear. We'll see.

[madwilliamflint]

Finally tagged 100 sneak. It's funny when it works and when it doesn't. I may spend more perks in the root of the sneak tree.

I finally solved the gold problem once and for all. No cheating involved. I'll hold off mentioning it out in the open here though. Feel free to shoot me a message.

Hmm.. never fenced anything.

Even daggers can be challenging, especially when you have more than one mob after you. I tried a pair of swords but my God are they slow in comparison. I can't wait to get the dual enchanting perk so I can put soul trapping and health absorption on both of them. That's gonna be NASTY

I'm a bit confused so far I'm making it pretty good with my Glass bow, Smithing improved.

Doing the Dark Brotherhood now and trying to use daggers to level them up. However it's just so easy to one shot them with the bow from a distance.
