It ain't easy

I stopped by my local GameStop to check the PS3 section for games with a local multiplayer or co-op mode. Seems modern gaming has gone so far online that most games don't have this option. Just about everything I picked up was labeled "Local: 1 player. Network: 2 - 478³ players".

Games like Skyrim are obviously out of the question (I do play it now and then and I'm at level 63 or so) and I'm not too keen on split screen warfare after playing Black Ops but after our weekend of Dungeon Siege 3, I was still feeling excited. I wanted to cast more spells, whack around with a sword and destroy everything that moves, all the while chasing after every little bit of loot I could lay my greasy fingers on. No such luck though so I figured I'll order Mario Party 8 or 9 instead. That ought to give at least a few good laughs due to massive screw-ups. And I'm not going back to World of Warcraft. I'm done with that black hole of infinite grinding. Though I could maybe try playing casually... NO. Never again.

I'll be playing it before the year is over, I'm sure.
