    Things were going pretty well until the Black Market Blunder.

    I set a high score for myself in today's daily. Also, first time killing Ol' Bitey! Also, first time getting the weird alien explody gun! Also, first time killing myself with the weird alien explody gun!

    Oh I forgot about Stanley Parable also. And The Stanley Parable Demo is clearly Demo Of The Year.

    I spend a lot of time ghosting and die to a dumb boomerang man.
  5. GOTY.cx 2013

    Interesting. I've only just gotten a 3DS XL (couldn't pass up that limited edition zelda beauty) and have been super excited to play all the games I've been missing out on. I've played through new Zelda (beaten it and about halfway through a hard playthrough) and the first 8 worlds of Mario and those have both been fantastic, but the real standout for me has been Fire Emblem. I've been playing that game on hard classic and trying to adhere to a "don't reload to save characters" unless I'm forced to when Chrom or the player character dies and it's been a fantastic experience so far. My first time through I made it to chapter 7 or so before I had lost so many characters (I think I was down to 4 guys) that I just couldn't proceed. I restarted and now I'm on chapter 10 and in a much stronger position. Can't wait to see what else this game throws at me. Other strong titles that I've enjoyed this year: Risk of Rain - fantastic if you can get a group of friends and multiplayer it up Gone Home Civ V Brave New World Spelunky (Steam) - this game was great when I first played it on xbla, but with the addition of the daily challenge and the social elements surrounding it, this might be my favorite game ever. Love playing the challenge and then watching other people play through the same level, seeing how our decisions differ, etc. I think I'm going to be playing this game for a long time to come. Games I suspect are great but havent played yet: The Last Of Us Bioshock Infinite XCOM: Enemy Within Gunpoint I can't actually think of other games that came out this year. I'm sure there are others that aren't coming to mind right now.

    Messed up and wasted the ankh, so I decided to take a detour through the worm level. Again.

  8. Essential PS3 exclusives

    Uncharted 2. If you only play one in the series play that one. I hear good things about The Last of Us. I just picked this one up, haven't played it yet. Tales of Xillia, Tales of Graces F if you like the tales series. I really enjoyed Heavy Rain, but I know it's not everyone's cup o' tea. Edit: I should have read your post more carefully.

    When you have the power of flight, you really shouldn't be taking fall damage, dummy.

    Man that black market was such a pain to find, and then I botched the job pretty badly.

    3DS XLs are going to be 150 at target, limited edition zelda version included: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/405440850068389889 Kind of sad that I didn't wait, but also kind of happy that I won't be in a Target anytime near Black Friday. Ugh.
