2-3 hours.

Anybody got anything bad to say about ME2, can bloomin' well say it to me.
"Less than a finger deep to sever your spine"

Played it twice with all the DLCs (4 times total so far) and it was friggin' EPIC. Cody's right:
1. Lair of the Shadow Broker is pinnacle. Actually had me adrenaline-rushed to the fuckhouse at the end.
2. The final boss is quite disturbing.

I think having just played both in the last month and just seeing the way Saren talks about the reapers and the end result of 2 is absolutely what drives it home. They pick up so many threads from 1 without beating you over the head. They don't really drive the plot from 1 forward, but they DO drive the point of it home.

4 times total? I must have like 20 or something complete runthroughs, one for each class and morality (?). Yeah uh, it's a good game.

I have a sudden and profound urge to play suikoden, right now.

Those sorts of moods are always when you enjoy a game most... I spent HOURS the other day just running around in GTA IV pushing people down steps and stuff because the thought of wanting to laugh at the ragdoll physics just popped into my head in work. I've rarely had more fun while gaming...

Also, this is fucking brilliant.

If I take my glasses off and stand back a few feet, that picture on the video looks like a weird salad.

I discovered I scanned way too many planets in Mass Effect 2, because I thought there would be money and/or an achievement involved. Lame. My ship is so full of resources I have no idea how it is still able to fly anywhere. Oh well, on with the story then.

I've been playing the crap out of the first Fable, which I've been meaning to play for a while. My character started out an unfocused rapscallion with questionable morals, and has matured into an older, wiser wizard who got married and lives peacefully in Bowerstone. (Yes. I am that much of a nerd, I get into the role of playing my character.)

Woot! Beat Arkham Asylum today. Really fun. My thumbs hurt like fuck from the nearly 3 hours of playing I just did to beat it, but hey...

Almost done with GTA IV: Lost and Damned, after I beat Ballad of Gay Tony I can finally put that thing to rest.
Still haven't achieved 100% on the main game though, even though I have completed EVERYTHING on the checklist (sometimes a few times to make sure), and it still says 98.33% completion. WTF. I'm just gonna leave it and come back after tiring myself on other games.

I have a hard time getting away from my FFI-III days when I'd stake out a spot and just go on a grinder to boost experience, so that I wouldn't be low powered later in the game. It shows up in things like that, scanning ALL the planets. I had to stop, too.

Anybody about to play (or in the early stages of playing) Skyrim, this is worth a look:
