I'll probably get the updated Tales of Vesperia. Somehow I wind up with multiple copies of the same game every time they change platforms. lol

I'm more excited about Elder Scrolls VI than any other video game in the world right now. I might not see it for a decade but I am no less ecstatic now than I will be on release day. XD

Looks like something my wife would enjoy... Maybe I'll get her that for her birthday!

There's an adorable one I love called JellyFlop that's totally free. Each level is a single screen and the goal is to use a limited quantity of pink jelly to create a path for this cute little jellyfish guy to collect feathers because he wants to make himself a pair of wings and fly like a bird. It sounds stupid but it is the cutest thing.

Two Dots is entertaining and challenging. I don't like puzzles so I stick with the easy levels. You get a screen full of colored dots, and the goal is to draw boxes with all same-color dots until you clear 10 yellow, 10 blue, and 10 green (or whatever the challenge is that round). It starts getting harder when they encase the dots in "ice" and you have to make several boxes to break all the ice first. There's another version called Dots & Co. but they're both basically the same thing.

And I've played a LOT of Midnight Cinderella. It's a dating simulation sort of thing. I like romance novels and dressing up an avatar, so I find it enjoyable. And it's extremely well-written. Yes, the princess you play as is totally vapid, but most Asian games of this nature get horrible translations that are almost unintelligible, but this reads like an actual choose-your-own-adventure/find-your-fate type of book in flawless English. You choose among various hot anime boys to pick a suitor, and then read the story and choose a different path at frequent intervals which cause different outcomes. It's worth replaying over and over again to see the different scenes and endings. They have frequent events that give you items to dress up your princess avatar, and you can also decorate the palace garden however you like.

Looks like The Sims... I might enjoy something like that.

Have you heard of Trauma Center: Second Opinion? It's like...playing doctor with hot anime boys. LOL! You don't build a hospital, you interact with your dead sexy anime boy coworkers and then you have to use your Wii-mote to perform surgery on patients. It requires a steady hand but it's kind of entertaining. lol For the art, at least.

Can you remember?

It was in the 80s for me, good old World Class Track Meet on the original Nintendo Entertainment System. LOL! Hard to imagine now that that was ever even fun...

Detroit: Become Human. It's built to replay so, when it's less fresh in mind, I plan to do that. On my first playthrough I kept everyone safe and took the pacifist route, but next time I'm going out guns blazing.

I only tried it in recent years and now it feels really dated. But my cousin's been begging me to play with her. The problem is, my client is old and I cannot get it to update! Any suggestions?

National Novel Writing Month is swiftly approaching!

Is anyone else planning to participate? Are you new or experienced? Are you a planner or a pantser?

I've participated for the last 3 years and won every time. I'm nervous about this year because I've been working 7 days a week and I'm both busy and exhausted. I do meet up with a writing group typically, and that actually helps me keep on track.

I do have an outline for a novel for this year but I just hope I have the time to get started on it.

Thank you! This is very helpful.

[EDIT: Sorry! I just saw how old the thread is and I shouldn't have posted. >_<]

What are you guys up to this weekend?

Tonight (TGIF!) I'm having dinner with some friends. Tomorrow I'm going to my cousin's house to play Cards Against Humanity. I'm not really sure what that is but she told me to bring a change of underwear so I can only imagine...

Best of all, I won't have to work. I hate working weekends!

I go to a lot of conventions so I've met a lot of celebrities. I've met most of the living cast of the original Star Trek, including Bill Shatner, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, and Walter Koenig. I've met several cast members of The Next Generation, including Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, and Brent Spiner. In a couple weeks I'm going to meet Levar Burton and I'm so psyched! I've loved him since first grade when he did Reading Rainbow.

I've gotten to meet a lot of anime voice actors, too, including several members of the English-speaking cast of Yuri!!! on Ice (Yuuri, Otabek, Minako, and Christophe).

Most recently I met Adrian Paul of Highlander. Ahhh! Always had a huge crush on him. lol He's so, so, so, so nice. They say never to meet your heroes, but I'm SO glad I got to meet him. I got a couple photos with him and he signed my Highlander DVD set. Nicest guy I ever met at a con, seriously.

Rudest celebrity I ever met? Eliza Dushku. WTF. Like, why you gotta be that way? You're not even an A-lister. lol!

Tell me your celebrity gossips. I needs them!!!

Netflix is the best... I'm glad it was saved. I only watched the first season but I enjoyed it. I'd like to see more.

I'm not quite finished with season 2 but I love the show. That sweet 80s nostalgia, I can't get enough!

When I was a kid one time I dreamed I was running all over the house, trying to find air. I was gasping for breath and running from room to room, trying to open windows and doors. Then I woke up and I was actually tangled up tight in my covers and suffocating for real! I think that dream may have saved my life.
