So what class should I choose in Diablo 3? I was just reading someone say that Monks were badass and overpowered. So that one is currently in the lead. 

 
The thing that bothers me about SAO is that it doesn't appear to be direct input for the combat. You have a button for a standard slash, but everything else is assigning techniques with use delays to different buttons. It doesn't appear to be like the Tales games, for example, where you can control your character directly and every sword slash and block and such. Combat is just a bit more removed and I think that'd make it feel more like a menu-driven combat system than the action RPG it looks like visually.

Right, it seems like it might play out like an MMO as far as how the combat works. Not necessarily bad, but definitely not how it looks from gameplay

Finished Zero Escape : VLR last night. Fun game, if a bit heavy on the story part. (I know it's primarily a visual novel).

Thought  I'd nab the platinum by playing through it on hard, but apparently I missed two archives way back when. Thank goodness this game has a flowchart that lets you easily jump around in the story.

I just got the plat this morning. I missed 2 files going through it as well and had to go back and get those. Luckily, as you mentioned, it was easy to do so.

 
Team Meat (Super Meat Boy) announced that they were putting their Mew-genics game on hold and releasing a new game called "A Voyeur for September"

A Voyeur for September is also an anagram for Super Meat Boy Forever.

 
I'm glad Ubisoft is slowing on Wii U support. They were one of the bigger supporters of the console. Hopefully Nintendo will wake up, fire Mr. Please Understand and move into this century.

This is one of the games I'm hoping to check out at PAX. I love Team Meat and I will play anything with Edmund's name attached

So other than the stupid explore the whole map+find all chests part of Ys:MoC, how was it? Gamefly just shipped it to me so I'll be checking it out soon.

Graphics don't look very crisp. Snakey won't like it.

 
crud didn't even notice that aquapazza was $10 this week. I'm sure it won't be the last time, but might've bothered adding money to the war chest to pick it up.
 
The Injustice story mode is surprisingly long. I'm about 1.5 hours in and not even halfway through yet. It's been ages since I played a fighter, so maybe my expectations were off there, but they certainly spent some time on it.

Have you played Mortal Kombt 9? It is structured the same way (I enjoyed the story a lot more in MK, though).

Nope. I think this is the first fighter I really played since Samurai Showdown for SNES and Tekken 2 on PS1. :) I did play Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and liked that approach; I'm more into brawlers than the repeat 1-on-1 battles, but the variety and story throughout Injustice makes it interesting. I really disliked it at first because the timing seemed terrible, but playing it longer has gotten me to the point where things feel more fluid.

I do have a few other fighters I've been putting off, and this makes me more inclined to pay them. The PS+ BlazBlue game and P4A among them.

I'd definitely recommend MK, then. Like I said, great story, and the over the top gore is always fun. These two games (MK and Injustice) are great because they are accessible. Moves are easy to pull off and don't require weird timing. The other two games you mentioned are made by the some Japanese developer (Arc System or something) and, from the little bit of time I put into them, are most definitely not accessible.

I have MK9 in the backlog (on 360). Doubt I'm ever going to get to it, though I do have an arcade joystick for 360 (I got it for bullet hell and classic arcade games) so I suppose I should play it. I suck at fighters, though. Big time.

I may be wrong, but don't the joysticks ( I assume you mean standard fightstick) not work well with Mortal Kombat? Their button layout is different and that's why they have these
Mortal-Kombat-Arcade-Stick-1.jpg
or this just the preferred layout?

I don't know. Probably it will neither hurt nor help because I am terrible at these games. Why would the button layout on a regular controller be better, though?

Might be more natural / comfortable. I hope your arcade stick works, just wanted to give you a heads up about the weird MK Layout. I mean if it was more natural to use the "standard" fight stick layout like street fighter, why wouldn't MK use the same? Ya dig?

 
I queued up Crimsonland Vita. I didn't dislike what I played of it on PS4, but it got set aside anyway. Being ugly/bland looking is perhaps part of that. Won't seem as bad on Vita, I imagine, but  I'm wondering if everything will be too small. I've got to get Backgammon Blitz out of my player card, so this is as good as anything.

Why would it be any different from PS3 and Vita?

Because PS3 at least didnt show rarity like PS4 does.

No, just drank water. It was 92 degrees out and I don't like drinking beer when it's that warm. Tried it before on the course and it just sucked ass and made me want to drink water.

Plus I don't really like beer that much anyway.

Yeah I counted every stroke, I always do. Only thing I bitched about on the course was my putting game.

I was talking to keeper since he said he just started playing and shot a 42 just like you.

But I do need to clarify one thing. When you hit a ball out of bounds or lost it, did you count your drops?

I platted it a couple of months ago. Thought it was good, but man did the last 4-5 hours drag on and on and on. The story was definitely interesting, just wish they'd split it up a little better. Took me a good 2 weeks to finish up the last couple of chapters, just because I kept falling asleep. Granted it was when I was laying in bed, but still.

 
I use to play golf a little. Frustrating as hell, but then you'd hit that one great shot and it would get you to go again. Well, it worked for a while. I haven't played in many years. One thing I hated, as a newbie, about golf was feeling like people behind us were getting annoyed because we were sucking so bad and taking too long. Of course if you're doing really bad you pick your ball up and move on, but still I hated that part of it.

 
Seriously, who in the hell would pay $39 for Plants vs Zombies? It's a mobile game. It's free on your phone. (Who'd buy the angry birds game for your ps3 or ps4 either)

I really wish some of these PS2 Classics ran on the Vita. I'd be 10X more likely to pick them up then.

Yeah, that can suck, but if you pick up after a bad swing or two then your fine. Its the idiots that try to take time getting exact yardage, stand over their ball, take 10 practice swings and shank it that deserve to get hit. IN THE FACE.
