Dead Geeky

[commonpeople1]

I just bought this game, which I may soon grow to regret (thanks to its hundreds of hours of game play):

Reasons to buy it:
- wink_martindale will fly to Canada soon for two weeks and I'll be home alone
- I do like videogames and haven't played anything immersive in years (this game has received good reviews)
- It looks fun
- I like sci-fi/fantasy

Reasons I shouldn't have bought it:
- I could use my spare time for yoga or the gym / writing a novel / going out / watching films
- I could have used the money for a nice meal out plus drinks
- All that time could be used revitalising LJ with tons of posts
- My reputation will be potentially damaged

Also, has anyone played Dead Island? Is it any good? *stern look at naturalbornkaosand sarahofthedead*

I didn't even know Dead Island was out yet. :/ Last game I played to any extent was L.A. Noire which was great at first but seriously ran out of steam by the end. Still... many hours of gameplay!

I only have a Wii so no L.A. Noire for me.

You probably didn't know because you weren't interested. Because everyone was going nuts over that really clichéd, boring, pretentious trailer. Grrrr!

Ops, just saw that it's only released on 9 September.

It's got a 4-player co-op mode... ;-)

People keep asking me to play co-op Portal 2 with them, and I have to say no, I'm too poor to play Xbox online.

But also I don't want them to know how bad I am at games.
