i am about to roll around to level 80 on my main world of warcraft character! i'm excited because a. it means i am only five levels away from getting to 85, which means possibly raiding if i can get my gear and skill up, and b. it's taken me at least four months to get here, and i think i've successfully avoided the dreaded massive wow addiction i've seen a lot of people succumb to. ha. i've been wondering lately, though, if there were any glitter wow players out there? hmm.
it also made me wonder what everyone else is playing! i know there are some other gamer glitters out there. what's playing on your screen right now? in addition to wow, i just unlocked all the characters on super smash bros. brawl. toon link forever! he is the cutest. but yes! anyone else? _________________ yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? |

*raises hand* Also a (formerly addicted) WoW player, now more of a casual player. Watch out for raiding, it can get really intense! I spent waaaaay more hours in ICC than I ever intended to... but damn if I wasn't one of the top 50 best geared rogues on my server for a while! _________________ You're offered the world every morning when you open your eyes. -Patton Oswalt

Oldies but goodies (Well, realative oldies but whateves) Fable 3 (I finished the main game and and doing the side missions now) Katamari Damacy, and Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Though I haven't been able to play much lately because Rocketboy is on a huge Mass Effect binge and he's always hogging the XBox. _________________ We are none of us alone

I haven't been playing much lately except for the occasional foray into Angry Birds and Crystal Defenders, but three upcoming things in the gaming world have me very excited:
1. The next WoW expansion was announced and the next playable race is PANDAS!!!!!!
2. The new Star Wars MMO (The Old Republic) coming out looks pretty good. I think my WoW guild is going to switch over for awhile since we've all gotten kind of tired of WoW (until the PANDAS come out!)
3. Ni No Kuni for PS3 - designed by Studio Ghibli! Here's a trailer (in Japanese, but the game is being released in North America in 2012) Ni No Kuni - Wrath of the White Witch _________________ "There will be a night sometime in the next week or two where I just put a podcast on and start gluing shit to myself.

I'm totally going to pay for an annual subscription to wow so that I can get in on the beta for the expansion. I had lost my old phone (with the key code thingy on it) so I couldn't log on for a week. Sucked.
I'm also playing Epic Mickey and really enjoying it. Not new at all but fun.
We bought Deus Ex and both me and Mr. Tramp are really frustrated with it. I suck at shooter games and he can't master the controls.
I'm also slightly addicted to many stupid facebook games. Things that I can do with one hand for five minutes at a time are good in our household. _________________ I truncated my name!

Maplestory. It's an MMO, but it's free, and my boyfriends whole family plays. We have a guild and everything. It's a lot of fun!
I was playing Farmville and the Sims Social. But they just got way too complicated and time consuming. I don't like all the content that farmville added because it just makes things infinitely harder and not as fun. I wish there was just a Sims Interior Decorating game or something. I just want to make and decorate houses. I don't want to do the other stuff! |

oh syren, raiding can get so intense! my dude is a raid leader so i get to see that first hand, ha. i've been training as a tank [although the higher level dungeons are intimidating] and i can only imagine how ridiculous that's going to be. ha. i just hate dps so much! and healing is completely foreign. sigh. but greenbean! PANDAS! i am so excited for mists of pandaria to come out. the "choose you side" aspect is going to be awesome. speaking of which, what do y'all play as, and what faction? i am a blood elf paladin, obviously on horde. whee!
also, i am now going to have to get a ps3. sigh. a studio ghibli jrpg? i can't compete with that. ._.
Pearliepie, yes! fable 3! i started a character on my old roommate's xbox and was sad that i never really got to play through that much because it looked awesome. and stephen fry voice acting! yes! also, katamari is the best game ever. i love it. BlueJedi, i have heard a lot of good things about maplestory. mmos are so fun, and it's awesome that it's free. probably allows for a lot more people to play, and that's always a good thing.
and angry birds forever! _________________ yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?

Right?
His pants do look a little like David Bowie's in Labyrinth though, and that's fun. But yeah- he is quite the jerk. _________________ We are none of us alone

I love Katamari! I never get sick of it, although, yeah, the King is a super D-bag. He's a bit less annoying in the sequel, "We Love Katamari", which is even more awesome than the original (**spoiler alert** in large part because you can roll up the King at the end if you get enormous enough).
Right now, I'm waiting for the new Zelda game for the Wii, Skyward Sword. It's due out next month, and I want to play it SO. BAD. I loved Twilight Princess so much. We've already pre-ordered the new game...the fancy special edition that comes with a golden controller. How nerdy is that? _________________ http://montgomeryfibrearts.wordpress.com/ |

I'm currently playing Lego Star Wars Attack of the Clones on PS3. I have all the Lego games and I love them all....especially Harry Potter.
I'm also a huge Katamari find. Didn't know it was on iPad - oh dear. Gonna have to pick that up. _________________ Visit my etsy shop! |

BlueJedi, all of the maplestory love! i go back every year or so - i've been gone long enough to lose all of my in-game friends three times now?, but i still adore it.
i've been playing tiny tower on my ipod, and build it all. i've been gaming to avoid having to deal with the real world, lately.
i was playing sims medieval for a while, too. _________________ xoxpuck
