What are you playing right now?

[Niachu]

Slender SCP. I can only vouch for the first 30 seconds since I don't last long.

 

[JULAY]

The only game I'm playing with any real regularity these days is Minecraft. Went to play Super Metroid the other day, but when I turned on the SNES I found that all my save files were erased from the cartridge somehow. Not a huge deal, as I've beat the game more times than I can count, but it still sucks to have to start over.

Battery inside the cartridge lost its charge, which erased your saved games.

 

[Night Terror]

Mostly Dota 2 right now. I've clocked over a thousand hours of Team Fortress 2, but I've not played it for a week or two. Haven't had the urge.
I've been playing some FTL: Faster Than Light as well, and I still can't beat it with the crappy Kestrel ship. I never find decent weapons like Hull Smasher lasers.

 

[Saney]

I finally got KotoR, I think I'll give that a spin. Also finished Saints Row the Third. Man, that game is short. On the plus side, I made my character look like Wyald from Berserk.

Do you know what you have been missing? Do you?

Please, forgive me for my ignorance. I now know the joys KotoR.

That's what I was afraid of. Is the cartridge completely screwed forever now? I'm not entirely familiar with how those cartridge save batteries work. Does playing the game more often help keep it charged, or is the cartridge now worthless for anything but single-segment speedruns? I don't have the technical skills to crack the case open and replace the battery, I can tell you that much.

If I recall right SNES battery's can recharge.

I know you can replace em' (at least for GBC Pokemon games)


I was correct, you can change the battery on a cartridge. Here's a guide (obviously you will need to obtain a new battery first though)

NTSC version of On The Ball. Got it for £3 for my American SNES.

 

[José Mourinho]

Whew! Played Team Fortress 2 and managed to win all the 6 waves in Mann vs. Machine.

 

[Night Terror]

My mate was playing TF2 for 24 hours a day or two ago, for charity, and I joined him for a few hours.
Somehow I managed to unlock the Got a Light? achievement. I was quite surprised.

 

[Dunsparce]

I'm now playing the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV after I played the PSP version lol

 

[Fialovy]

In addition to playing Breath of Death VII on hard mode (I got past the hard part, yay!), I'm also playing Final Fantasy Legends II and Trojan, the games Dun gave me.

Pokemon Black 2.
I'm working on completing the National Pokemon as I've already completed the Unova one.
I have no life~

Hahaha. I've been really bored and am thinking of picking up Black or White 2 since I skipped the first B/W and am not really interested in too many 3ds titles because I really only got it for the new (apparently never to be released) Animal Crossing. What do you think of B/W 2?

A serious problem I had with B/W was that there were like 15 Pokemon not from the new region and you only found those after the main story.
B/W 2 starts in a new section of Unova and has Pokemon that aren't from there. In fact before you get your first badge you can get a Riolu and evolve it into a Lucario to get a disc one nuke.
B/W itself had a story that was far better than every other Pokemon game and near the end there's this massive difficulty spike and it's awesome. The second time you fight the elite 4 they got Pokemon in the 60-70 range.
(If you do get it make SURE to pick up a Tynamo and evolve it to Electross, that thing is sick)

And Animal Crossing is going to be released in North America, it's coming early May (last I heard) and some places have been taking pre-orders for it for quite a while now. They've been moving the release date for a while now but there is a simply massive demand for the game outside of Japan so it's certainly coming.

Just played Armored Core For Answer and Armored Core. Love blasting AC's and NEXT's while some good in-game music plays.

Everybody who's played the Japanese version thinks it's great.
