But before talking more about that, I just wanted to say I lost all my data in my External Hard Drive last month, including most of my games. I then installed a few games again, including Vampires: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, but then my EHD crashed again, and I had to format everything for a second time and buy a second EHD (3 To!). I lost my fifth playthrough of VTMB, and I'm sad because I was halfway through it as a Malkavian. :( I also lost Skyrim and Fallout 3 with all the mods installed... That'll be a bitch to install again, oh my god, I'd rather not think about it. Especially since Fallout 3 crashes for no reason, depending of its mood.
Anyway. Resident Evil: Revelations was out today, and oh boy Jill is ugly in it and doesn't look the same at all than in the fifth opus. And the new companion, Parker I think, has such a big face, it's almost not normal. I need to finish Far Cry 3 though before playing something else. I noticed I really like using the bow in any FPS games, like FC3, Tomb Raider and Skyrim. I don't know why, but shooting an arrow into my enemy's face brings me a satisfaction that a firearm never could. That and using a takedown and nobody noticing anything, especially when the guard I just killed is right beside another one. The AI intelligence in FC3 is really nice though, I'm impressed (even if it frustrates me at times too). They don't look around them like idiots when I shoot using my Sniper, they run where they think the shot came from. I'll probably do a review on the game when I'll finish it, because I really like so far (I think I'm more than halfway through it).

Besides FC3, I'm playing a lot of DC Universe Online with my bro and a friend of ours. It's nice to be a superhero! I usually don't buy anything in a MMORPG, but I've been playing it for like 100 hours, so I bought a membership and got me some pretty wings. :3 I really like it because you can customize your character like you want and it doesn't cost you any real money (the membership I bought for the DLCs gave me 500 to spend in the game market as well, hence the wings, but you collect clothes styles as you play) like in Vindictus, a game I played a lot around Christmas time. No need to say my big guy is half naked most of the time, but I think people assume I'm still a guy, surprisingly enough. I mean, won't guys in games will go for a female character, usually? I don't know, at least I always go for a guy when the choice is given. Anyway, I don't really care, but my bro always have some guys after him because he's always a chick in games. That's kind of funny actually, to see him facepalm himself when someone hits on him. The amount of shit we say in MMORPGs is over 9000, let me tell you.

A thing I wanna say too about DCUO is that, I'm still not really used to MMORPGs, and the way DCUO works is you can level up until level 30, and then you have to upgrade your gear to get a better Combat Rating to kick more asses. I'm a Controller (or a Troller) in the game, that means I give mana to my companions while I unbuff the enemies, lowering their shield and stuff. I like to compete against other Controllers (which troller will do the most "power out"), and I can say I usually stand my ground against others. Anyway, all this explanation is because once, we were doing a Raid party to collect a better gear, and there was one other Controller. What I found really funny is that he asked me what my stats were, saying he didn't want to overwrite me. I had never checked my stats before he asked me, even though I knew what to upgrade for my class (thanks to you, bro), and I was like "uuuh, I don't know", and I discovered I had higher stats than him hahaha. XD Who's the one overwriting the other now, huh? I really like this game, my CR was of 48 at the time, and you only need 43 to be able to kill the enemies we were raid partying for, so I had time to buy better gear and skills as well. I had never understood why people were so addicted to this type of games, and now I'm hooked as well.
I'm also playing Minecraft a lot lately, I've been building a warehouse surrounded by lava and fire. I have the "Zombie Awareness" mod, so I need to be protected! I can't wait for the 1.6 update, there'll be new mobs and gear, it'll be awesome. People say it looks a lot like Terraria, and it's true, but as a big fan of Terraria myself (I mean, I named this blog after it), I can say there's some differences too, but I prefer the latter. Even though it's in 2D, it's really fun to build in T, more than in M in my opinion. I don't say I don't like to build in M, since it's one of the main things to do in the game, but there's more options in T. I once built a castle under the ocean and it was really cool. Maybe because I played more and I've been a fan for a few years now? I tried playing Minecraft last year I think, I had time to kill a cow, and then I decided I really didn't like it and simply uninstalled it, I only began to really play like three months ago. I like the fact you can add mods though in the game, I don't think we can in T, or at least I never tried. Anyway, I'm a fan of both games for different reasons, let's stick to that!

Lastly, I played Dead Island: Riptide with my bro and a few friends last week. It took 20 hours or so to complete it, and I have to say the story isn't great. The environment looks a lot like in the first opus, first a beach with a jungle, and then a city with the freaking sewers. I played as Logan in the first game and in Riptide, and I loved throwing stuff at zombies, or on proximity mines close to my friends mwahaha. They added the throwing knives in Riptide, but the guy who sells them die almost at the beginning and I couldn't buy any until the end, what the fuck?! Two or three sellers died in the game, while a bunch of useless characters didn't and continued to whine while we did all the work, and that's something I really didn't understand. Luckily this game is fun to play with friends, but I probably would have fallen asleep being alone.
