I'm not dead, yet.

I may have died, but I got better.  At any rate I'm not dead now so I might as well write something.  I have, of course, played a lot of games in the past 6+ months of no posting so I'll mention some highlights.  At least the ones I remember.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Final Thoughts

Recently I completed Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.  My final play-time on Hard difficulty was 128:56:36.  That time includes both The Legend of Dead Kel and the Teeth of Naros downloadable content.  As always, possible spoilers ahead.

Skyrim: Dawnguard Final Thoughts

I have finally completed the vampire questline of Dawnguard.  It took awhile for a couple reasons.  First I went out of my way to ensure I completed all the side-quests in addition to the main quests.  The larger contributor to the delay, though, is I simply played Skyrim.  I became embroiled in other quests, found myself distracted by shiny objects, committed grievous acts of draconicide, et cetera.  I also moved my character and her wife from Whiterun to Solitude.  It took me some time to familiarize myself with the new city and all its shopkeepers and the house itself.  The move also necessitated several trips back and forth to move items over and organize them at the new home.

Dawnguard is complete, though, and I have a a few topics I wish to talk about:

• The changes to vampirism.
• Cool things Dawnguard added or changed.
• Serana

In other words, thpoilerth.

Skyrim: Dawnguard First Impressions

I recently got around to downloading the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim.  I'm nowhere near completing it but I do have enough time into it to make some general comments on it.  There are some very minor spoilers about some of the things you may encounter in the DLC (nothing plot related).

Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut Addendum

I finally found some time to go through and check out the rest of the enhanced endings as part of Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut. I also have a couple additional thoughts about the end of the game I wish to share. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut

I just finished playing through the last couple hours of Mass Effect 3 with the new ending content provided by the Extended Cut DLC.  Here are my thoughts.  Obvious ending spoilers ahead.

Dragon's Dogma

It's not very often that a game is so fun that minutes after playing the demo I hop in the car and go out and buy the game.  Dragon's Dogma, though, it was one of those games.
