Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, and a tad of Avencast and Disciples 2.
Stalker is awesome, I liked the first game and this one is even better. In stalker you play the role of a 'stalker', and no, you aren't a sex-offender. A stalker is something along the lines of a treasure hunter mixed with a gunman mixed with several other ridiculous occupations. You go into 'the zone' which consists of an alternate-reality Chernobyl in which the radiation completely took over and mutants are everywhere.
The idea is that these mutated things, I really can't explain what they are, that have strange unusual powers are called artifacts and once people found out about them and how much scientists want to study them or more precisely how much they're willing to pay to study them it attracted a lot of people even though death is rather common in the zone.
You fight mutants, other stalkers and come across anomalies which are OTHER strange mutated things that are rather unexplainable but have one consistency in that they tend to make you dead. It's a difficult, but fun game.
My favorite feature about Call of Pripyat is that you can upgrade weapons and armor and repair them, which you couldn't do in the first game (I ended up trashing a looot of gear). The upgrades are picked in a tree, somewhat like skill trees and thus there is actually some choice instead of a basic +1 upgrade.
I'd go into the other games but this post is already ridiculously long.

Super Mario Galaxy 2, because I'm this close to getting 100%
After that. I'll either play some more Other M or get the collectibles quests done in Fable 3.

I was wondering if someone would call me on this.Sean.Devlin said:
My driver is called G. Burger (I pretend his name is Gay), and I can casually tell him to calm down while browsing the Escapist. It's basically my way of gaming, while doing other things.
I've been kickin it retro this weekend with my N64. Started with some Supermario 64 and then moved onto Goldeneye.
I was planning on playing through Gears 1 and 2. I was in the middle of chapter 4 on the first and got to the RAAM battle... I haven't started Gears 2 yet nor have I finished Gears 1.
Instead, I've been playing Jimmy's Vendetta for Mafia 2 and I am loving it.

Super Meat Boy (for the PC) and Donkey Kong Country Returns.
More Super Meat Boy than DKC, mostly because it's addicting as hell.

I haven't. Hrmmm...Ghostwise said:
You may be right, now that I think about it. I've had a problem with a similar game, "graphics card crashed" or whatnot, I just figured it was because the game itself is a beta, and buggy as hell.
