Running through my first playthrough of Skyrim (*GASP*) on Xbox360. Playing a mace & magic wielding Khajiit. Currently studying at Hogwarts...errrr...Winterhold's College!
*GASP*
:D
I actually started my second playthrough a few weeks ago, also on X360 (my copy is the Greatest Hits release, which I had assumed would have some bugfixes already included, but apparently not). Haven’t played Skyrim since the first time I finished it maybe 5-6 years ago.

Previous playthrough was as a Nord one-handed/shield specialist with expertise in archery, enchanting, heavy armor, smithing, and sneaking, and not much magic at all. Wanted to change things up a little so this time I’m a high elf specializing in conjuration, alteration, light armor, enchanting, archery, and sneaking (things like archery and sneaking are just so ingrained in my playstyle it’s hard to change them). I’m only about a third of the way through the main questline but I’ve already done a few things I never experienced before, like join the Dark Brotherhood and discover the atronach forge under the College of Winterhold.

Atronach Forge? Now THAT peaks my curiosity! So many things to do, so little time  :'(
Skyrim is slowly stabbing my backlog of games in the back.

And yea, bows ftw.
I realized that may have been a spoiler, so sorry for that. I just discovered it last night and being a conjuration character the idea of creating stronger atronachs is appealing. I may have found it during my first playthrough but quickly ignored/forgot it because conjuration was probably my least-used skill with that character. Let’s just say the College holds much more interest for my current mage/ranger build :)

Yes, Skyrim is very good at sucking your time away. I’ve been going to bed far too late the last few nights because of this damn game.

And, sneaky bow sniping + 3x damage perk = win.

Now I concentrate on Pokemon quest game. I've been playing 20-30 min everyday. As it's free you can perfectly play without spending money. I also use PokemonQuestGame portal here as it's a great guide. It explains how to start the game in the most effective ways and quickly proceed in it through levels.

Was thinking of playing Resident Evil Code Veronica X on PS4, since I ended up bailing on Resident Evil Zero, but I think it's just the PS2 version and not the PS3 HD version, which makes no sense, and I realized I don't want to play the game without the door skip feature on PC.  That really helped deal with the tedium the doors bring, but unfortunately it's not available on PC.

So I'm mostly just back to Monster Hunter World.  Haven't played in a bit and it's the summer festival, so I'm catching up on a few things I missed or didn't finish and getting back into the swing of things when the Final Fantasy XIV crossover happens with the Behemoth next month.

*EDIT*
Random thought, but I just realized how bad Capcom got with the Resident Evil series in terms of adding partner characters/co-op.  Zero, RE5, RE6, Revelations, and Revelations 2.  Then you add the two light gun games, and Operation Raccoon City, which makes at least 8 RE games and that isn't counting the three purely online multiplayer games.  And maybe Dead Aim, but I don't remember if that female character is a partner character or not.  Not counting Resident Evil 4, from REZero on, that's 15 years to get back on track for the series with Resident Evil 7 as a more pure, solo, survival horror, experience.  Crazy.

Wow, I never thought of the sneaky bow tactic....ever since you mentionned that, I've destroyed the game so hard xD

Yeah, archery sneak is as close to an "easy-mode" as you can get in Skyrim.

I started South Park: The Fractured but Whole yesterday.  It's really good, but I feel like after already having the novelty wear off a bit in The Stick of Truth, this one isn't going to be quite as enjoyable.

...it has a difficulty slider. You can literally put it on easy.

And then the archery sneak makes it like sleepwalking through a pillow fort!  :D

I love the Yakuza games, but I can tell I'm getting burned out, I may take a break from Dead Souls and play a bunch of different games to kind of cleanse my palette before jumping back in.

Also, seems like I'm getting towards the end of Dragon Quest IX.  I'm beefing up my equipment through alchemy... hopefully that's enough to get me the rest of the way through the story without having to heavily grind.  Sounds like other people were having trouble where I am at, at a few levels higher than I currently am... so may be time to start grinding... gotta go find some metal slimes.

Exiled Kingdoms. New RPG with old school graphics. One of best RPG's I played.

Currently playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Torchlight II and Diablo III: Reapers of Souls (PS4).

Just finished Act II in Diablo and I'm still really enjoying it! It plays really well on console, might pick up Victor Vran after beating this as I'm really into ARPGs now.

Yeah. I'm done with Shining Resonance Refrain. I made it to chapter 5 and that's enough. It's not a good game.
