October 18, 20177 yr I'm currently playing Child of Light, and have a backlog of finishing Final Fantasy 9, InFamous Second Sun, Hue, Amnesia Collection, both South Park games (Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole), Mad Max, Sleeping Dogs and Just Cause 3. That's all while preparing for The Evil Within 2, Assassin's Creed Origins and other new ones, and saving up for some ones from the past few months including Final Fantasy 12. I also still have my normal backlog of about 20 games that I haven't fully finished yet. I have a lot of games and not enough time to play them. :(
October 23, 20177 yr I just preordered The Sims 4 and Assassin's Creed: Origins! Also, sidenote, for the fourth year I'm taking part in the Extra Life 24-hour gaming marathon on November 4th. It's a global fundraiser where you pick a local children's hospital to sponsor and take on donations where all the proceeds go to that hospital and play video games for 24 hours. I've raised about 3k so far! Things I've learned over the years: sugar crashes are real things, you can take a walk and still play games on your phone for it to count, smart people (not me) play board games instead or in addition which helps the eyes, and if you play Civilization you can accidentally play longer than 24 hours...
October 28, 20177 yr I would never do that tbh - as people have died from playin games non-stop in Korea and Japan :/
October 28, 20177 yr Yeah but this is only 24 hours ("only" lol), and it's a unique way to help and do something good for others by doing something you enjoy! That's great breezyspice :wub:
October 28, 20177 yr If you've ever done a normal 24 hours without sleep, just add a TV and it's fairly straight forward tbh. A good idea and a pretty easy way to donate money to a worthy cause breezy spice! ^_^
November 2, 20177 yr Thanks guys! Only two more sleeps for me and then I get to marathon! I've raised $585 this year so far, although I added a stretch goal that if I can raise $1000, I'll get a gaming tattoo! *fingers crossed* I just got my grocery delivery for game day and I've got loads of healthy snacks to eat throughout the day and I still have a dog to walk so it's an excuse to take brief breaks and walk around. Millions of people in North America take part in Extra Life every year, so the 24 hour gaming thing is pretty common I'd say. Can I also say how much I'm enjoying Assassin's Creed: Origins right now?!!?! It has reminded me of Horizon Zero Dawn in some ways. I never played any other AC games before but I watched a couple when my bf played them - and tbh I got bored of the gameplay, but I don't find this one that way at all! HIPPOS CAN RUN FAST!

November 5, 20177 yr Anyone playing COD WWII? It’s honestly one of the best in years my housemate has got it, we set aside friday evening to play it but royal mail decided to just not show up so hopefully i find time to play it with him soon!! so hyped for zombies
December 13, 20177 yr Wanted to thank y'all for the support - I ended up raising $1015 for my local children's hospital this year! AND I totally survived what ended up being 25 hours of gaming due to the time change. I finished Assassin's Creed Origins and while I need to do a couple trophy cleanup runs - I ended up clocking over 120 hours :o All of the forums I read said people platinumed in 60-80 so maybe I'm a completionist, really methodical, or they lie! I booted up Skyrim VR the other day and it blew my mind. I didn't play for long because I needed to charge the motion controllers and now that I'm moving I might just wait to set it up in the new place, but if you've ever played Skyrim before - that opening scene on the cart was ridiculous - you're IN the cart, you're looking around up/down/all around and I may have cried a single tear. Shut up, no I didn't. I wish I could get into shooters but I just get angry when I play them. My aim with a gun is far worse than if I use a bow/arrow or magical staff. And I get really jumpy when things start shooting at me.
January 6, 20187 yr I'm DYING to play A Hat In Time now it's out on PS4, got exams this month so holding off buying it but it looks incredible and of course we so rarely get these cutesy retro 3D platformers that I grew up with nowadays. I just hope it's better than Yooka-Laylee which was a colossal disappointment.

I just hope it's better than Yooka-Laylee which was a colossal disappointment. It's been getting way better reviews than Yooka-Laylee so I'm hopeful that it is shining. Seeing the list of games it's said are its influences I'll be keeping a close eye on how this does sales-wise.
January 7, 20187 yr Just got a PS4 for Christmas this year! My username is travysuxx if you want to add me. I've got Overwatch, GTA 5, WWE 2K18, Steep, etc. Right now I'm playing Gravity Rush 2 because I watched a play-through of the first game and it looked like a lot of fun!
