So what are you playing right now in terms of computer and console video games?
I just played another game of StarFox64 and was planning on playing through GoldenEye again. Mostly for nostalgia reasons. It turns out I'm not as good at these games as I used to. I guess I really am retired from the world of professional gaming.
I'm also still playing The Sims 2 regularly. I had made a carbon copy of myself and been playing him. He's now over 70 with five kids (a son, two daughters, and twin boys). The oldest son is married and just had twins, too. Who would have thought?
What about the rest of you--what are you guys all playing currently?

On my emulators, I just now beat EVO, and am playing a game called Blackthorn (fairly fun), and of course Brain Lord. Front Mission 2, as well, although very rarely
I don't have any more video games for the PS2 scheduled until Dirge of Cerberus though. I plan on playing and beating Doom 3 over the course of winter break though. Them thar games is just so expensive, to rent or buy. Maybe I'll stop by EB and pick up something nifty though...

I don't see myself getting any new games anytime soon. But maybe once I get a little money, I might try and buy some old games. Been meaning to add the Breath of Fire series to my collection, for instance.
You're still playing Brainlord? I got to the fire dungeon and then got bored with it again.

I'm actually rather bored with it in the machine place right now.

Daos, playing Star Fox 64 and Goldeneye? My life is twist-turned upside down! This leads me to a stunning discovery left unknown for 7 years regarding Ocarina of Time. You see, five days ago, an Arwing was discovered in Ocarina of Time. Not a picture of one, but the real deal, only accessible via GameShark. As far as games go, I've been playing Pokémon Blue lately, the Sonic Gems Collection (featuring Vectorman!), and I've been trying to get every ending in Chrono Trigger on Playstation. I'm at the hardest one: defeating Lavos during the mandatory encounter. After I do that, I only have two more endings to go. I've also been considering loading up Goldeneye again. I believe I'm on the 12th level, where one has to make his way through the streets in X amount of time. I also want to get back into Fire Emblem, especially with the release of the Gamecube edition about 10 days away. ...Man, I've got a lot to play.

Ahhh vectorman, how I hate him! A cheat code for that is... C A left left A C A B or, call a cab. It is my favorite cheat ever. Wait until we trade Game systems, Eddie, then you'll see how very much there is to play!
When is Zelda coming out?

Hey, what's that mean? I've been playing StarFox64 and GoldenEye since they both respectively were released. In fact, I remember I bought StarFox64 about three days after its release date.

It means just what it says. I never imagined you playing Goldeneye or Star Fox. Next thing I know, you'll be telling me that you're an avid Metal Gear Solid fan.
I have to say this, though: It's so unfair how you only had to wait three days before getting your own copy. I had to wait eight years before I could finally call it mine.

I wouldn't say 'avid' fan. I do own Metal Gear Solid and have beaten it a number of times, though. It is the only Metal Gear game I've ever played, however.

Well, I'll be damned. I didn't expect that, not even for irony.

Well, I'm moving on and started a new file on Final Fantasy 5. I decided I'm going to try and beat it finally. Last time I got all the way to Atamos and my dad erased my game.

Ouch. You know, you just had to remind me of the fact that I need to do the same. Good luck in your new journey.
Also, I think I'm going to challenge that devil among games Ikaruga. It's insane!

Well...that went well.
I wasn't able to play FF5, because it wouldn't save my data properly. It was very odd. It kept saying the data was broken.
So...screw it. I'm replaying the Granstream Saga for some reason.

I don't like playing games on the computer. No keyboard and mouse can ever substitute for a good old-fashioned controller.
