Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance are both great too. Neither are as powerful as Oldboy but very similar thematically and still amazing movies.
Also, the Spike Lee Oldboy remake is an excellent comedy.

That's the worst. I've built my podcast schedule on the assumption that Beastcast is out by the time I leave work on Friday.

Woo! Just finished my first "full" area in the Witness.
Satifying.

I'm waiting for him to then say 'And then hundreds of puppies came out of the space suit'

Space madness is a common problem that you can get treatment for in its early stages. Please consult your general practitioner if you feel that you have early onset space madness.

The Division looks neat but its one of those games that will live or die depending on how much content it has and how good the repeatable end game stuff is.
After Destiny I am taking a massive wait and see approach.

With customizable weapons its already leaps ahead of Destiny.

I think I'm pretty much done with games where the goal is to reach that endless grinding end goal.
Because what am I really grinding for really.
When you get right down to it.

If puppies had come out, he certainly wouldn't be interested in puppies now.
This is why he has such a pathological need for puppies.

But how do I know when I'm satisfied?

The grind is life. Whether you're grinding numbers, grinding to be the best, or grinding through the backlog.
It never ends.
Welcome to enlightenment.
I've definitely grown to enjoy grindy games as I've gotten older, but I'm with you in that it has to have something to work towards. Etrian Odyssey is very grindy in the sense you are slowly making through a dungeon by retracing your steps over and over, getting stronger along the way. That only works because there's something at the end.
I have a small place for a game like Diablo where it's all about the numbers going up, but it's a very small place. Pretty much Diablo and the occasional clicker for a day or two can occupy it.
I have a way bigger backlog of games I actually want to finish right now than I think I've ever had, and yet I keep wasting time browsing gaf and not making progress. What the hell am I doing? February is going to be murder.
Would you mind posting a link?

Oh I don't mean grinding in general. I still like my RPGs, but yeah, I meant games where the goal is essentially to keep watching the numbers go up.

Same. Got stuff like Witcher 3 and Wolfenstein sitting on my shelf waiting for me to play it, and here I am replaying Cold Steel 1 and inhaling this SFV beta crack.

MASSIVE THE WITNESS SPOILERS
Yup
Thankies!
I know I have zero time for The Witness and probably none for XCOM 2 and it's better to wait for a sale because of that, but it's taking all the willpower in me not to buy The Witness right now. Avoiding XCOM 2 is going to be harder.
Trying to play games and be a responsible adult is hard.

That's why I look at my backlog as a collection that I might get to one day instead of an obligation to be finished.
Steam Backlogs don't count. I thought we already agreed on that.
Thank god

Combine that with college too and it's just the worst. Luckily there isn't much I care about in March so I'm hoping that gives me enough time to finish Fire Emblem and Digimon before all the games in April hit.
I'm lucky I'm taking a semester off, haha. Yeah, fitting in that stuff right around the time you're classes have really gotten serious for the semester sucks.
I want to play Digimon and all 3 FE campaigns as well as finish Cold Steel 1 and Steins;Gate, but that's gonna be rooooooough.

It's cricket season and and cricket takes so fucking long omg. Even the shortest version is like a 5 hour investment. Not enough time to play games.
Don't watch cricket?

Not an option.
Handheld games are an excellent option while sports take up the TV. Wii U and PS4/Vita Remote Play also work.

But shitposting in the Reddit match threads is part of the fun of following live sports.
What if I told you you could do all 3?
As an F1 fan, I've become good at multitasking a laptop, tv and game device.

I'd imagine that f1 is 95% downtime though.

Eh, kinda sorta. It ebbs and flows.
