Same, and it appears I have terrible taste.
Rightyo, so now having finished Skyward Sword comes the time to take the disc out of the drive and find the next game to play.
Three choices come to mind:
Ocarina of Time
Xenoblade
Metroid Prime
Of course I have to pack up and move house in mid/late January, so I dont know how long I have for any of them. It took me 3.5 weeks to knock over SS.
I'm thinking I might forego all 3 and play Oddworld Stranger again (out next week and much shorter). Then get stuck right into Xenoblade.

I was extremely happy to finish my Teacher Research Project only a few hours ago. Now I come home to the news that one of the greatest public intellectuals of our time, Christopher Hitchens, has passed away. His writings have had a profound impact on my life in recent years, it's such a terrible way to go.
I'm listening to that radio interview you posted in the Hitchens thread. Amazing so far.
Skyrim.
Honestly, I think you should give it a try as it really is a great game but I can understand where you're coming from.
In all honesty, it's a time and lack of interest thing. I generally have very little free time for games, so I am extremely picky about what I play. Developer reputation and past experiences play a big role in discriminating games, and skyrim fails on both counts on my standard.
Personally, I also have the medieval fantasy world itch being scratched by ASOIAF books right now too. So whilst Im sure the world of TESV is absorbing and fun to explore, I'm not likely to be interrupted by pages freezing and locking up, and having to put the book down for 5 minutes every hour to reset the words.

Really want to play that but I'll wait till those jokers get around to doing something with the PC version which I bought day 1 like a chump
Early Entourage is great, It does get a little stupid as the years go on.
I Christmasified your avatar if you want it Vince

ugh i cant stand most of the actors in homeland
I remember when someone wanted to create an ausgaf doodles website with whatever the heck we draw when bored / on the phone.
This is essentially what i do. Just strange lines for some random fucking reason, I have NO idea why but it's always similar. http://i.imgur.com/oRSnk.jpg
I never try to draw people and if i do i usually just branch off into more straight lines that randomly connect

The best avatar for that is the Bernard Black one. Can't remember which poster it is.

I know the guy you mean. I think I subconsciously I do it with a lot of posters actually.
Creating a platforming engine from scratch is very time consuming. I'm enjoying it, but it's like trying to re-invent the wheel and know what you're doing now is actually going to work once it's finally complete.
You mean 50 minutes from the start of the game to the first temple? That took me over 3 hours...
zeldas too fucking hard.
took me 50 minutes to get INTO the first temple... then the first skutulla took me 10 +I give up

aah, with the
pink crystal things you had to shoot?
Yup... I spent a good chunk of time shooting my slingshot at the sun.. and flying my bird towards the sun.. and landing on small islands and shooting at the sun..
Oh... don't take this the wrong way, but walkthroughs are the for a reason! 50 minutes is nearly a gaming session for me.

Unless I'm reading it in her English voice
This is one of the best things about playing with someone. If my boyfriend wasn't around I think I would have given up. I'm not so great at figuring these kind of things out on my own -_-

turn in your avatar, sunshine.
Man, being the only sober person in the room at the work Christmas party makes for a loooong night.
One week left of work and then two weeks off! I'm toying with the idea of not drawing comics for one of those weeks and just working on the website and books instead.
Or maybe play video games! What are good ones?

I have been up since 4:50am playing The Old Republic.
It rules.

And it only gets better, then slightly worse.
So yesterday I spent most of the day dicking around in Reach Firefight (which is still, seriously, amazing fun) and also in four-player Rayman Origins. I played through a fair amount co-op with my brother, but I have to say: that game is four-player MADNESS. We hadn't played Super Mario Bros co-op before, but given what I've seen on GB, that seemed about right. It was so much crazy fun.
Metroid Fusion continues to be as good as I remember, although there is a lot of 'well, these things will activate when you bomb them, but there's no indication as to that' and that's kind of annoying.
I wasn't expecting the industry drinks night to be so great, but I spent most of it chatting with Tracey and Serrels and James, so it turned out pretty good. Disney karaoke was promised, but unfortunately not delivered.

And then significantly worse.
