I want to keep track of the games I play and how I feel/felt about them.

(PC) Going to start the list with the games I still continually play. Season 2 just started a few weeks ago and I decided to level a Witch Doctor for my first time. I was actually quite astonished with how much I enjoyed leveling the WD. Update - Already into season 3, hopefully get another character to 70 so I can finish the transmog gear. I really enjoy the updates they've made to the game. my main (fem-barb) has gone from soloing T3 to soloing T6 from the updates alone (a few buffs and changes to raekor's bonus). My problem is that I just want to play my fembarb, but I feel obligated to level this other toon so I end up doing that over just having fun.
(PC/Mobile) I have spent absolutely no money on Hearthstone. I play it very sparingly and haven't felt it necessary to spend any money. Now I have a decent Warrior control deck that I enjoy (just got a card pack with Grom and Mind Control Tech a week ago!). Hearthstone is now available on the phones and I play it almost everyday at work. I know that sounds terrible but normally it's just at lunch.
(Wii U) After all the wonderful reviews and positive things I heard/read about this game, I knew it was just a matter of 'when' I would play it. Finally made the dive and wasn't blown away like I thought I'd be. This game is/was a lot of fun. The story is nonsense, the combat is incredibly fluid, the colors are EVERYWHERE, and it doesn't ask much of your time or patience. I also find it impressive how the combat of this game is friendly for people not accustomed to this style of game while having all the depth, difficulty, and combo system that a hardcore fan would so desire. My problem with this game is my own damn fault. For some reason I got it in my head that this game was going to be "Asura's Wrath" Over the top. This game is ridiculous, dont get me wrong, but pales in comparison to Asura's Wrath's absurdity. Just want to add that I did beat the story.
(Wii U) All the wonderful GBA games on the E-shop kept taunting me. I caved in and bought one of my favorite Castlevania games. Definitely worth the money.
(Vita) I've been making jokes for awhile now that after I moved out on my own I was going to buy/play all the cute-girl-anime games. This game was on sale for $14 on the PS Store and figured I'd stick to my joke (granted I had seen that it's had many positive reviews and honestly started believe that I may enjoy it). Well at first I thought I may have just thrown money away but now I'm a little over 10+ hours in and finding myself enjoying just how JRPG this game is (grew up on JRPGs). As easy as it is to make fun of the game for having the most cliche big eye, young, cute anime girls, I can't help but feel that it's an improvement over many JRPG's I've played that have had the most boring, and/or mute male protagonists. To go along with that, the translation and voice acting is very impressive. None of the girls have horrible loud and/or screeching voices (only 10+ hours in, I know there's more voices to come) that use to embarrass me so often in JRPG's I played when I was younger.
(Vita) Suikoden 2 finally became available on the PS Store and I bought it that first day (beat it and loved it when I was younger). Kotaku, and more specifically Jason Schreier, convinced me that I should play the first Suikoden before jumping back into 2. It's not a bad game and holds up surprisingly well for its age but I still wish I had just skipped it.
(PC) I've been playing this with the HD textures. So much more enjoyable when everything isn't a muddy mess.
(PC) I bought a GTX970 last month. I've been tweaking with OC'ing and been using my better looking games to see what my money went to. Reminded me that I actually was enjoying this game and should probably just try and beat it already. UPDATE - Beat it. Not the Tomb Raider I grew up with but can't deny that I enjoyed it.
(3DS) So I took the dive and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Update - So I have been playing the game here and there but never for too long. I look at my time played which shows over 30 hours and just feel blown away. My time in the game certainly shows that I got my moneys worth but as far as progression goes, I feel like I have another 60+ hours of solo content. I also love the fact that I can pick it up, do a mission, and feel satisfied. Just did a mission yesterday to turn in two Wyvern eggs with a sub-quest to damage Rathian's tail. So much fun taking the time to break off his tail, finish him off, get me some loot and satisfaction, then proceed to the main objective of the mission I was on. Man, I really dig this game!
(PC) I guess you could say I'm playing this. The game plan was to read all the books, beat this game, and replay Witcher 2 before Witcher 3 came out. Yeah, hopefully I'll finish the books at least. I have started this game and pretty much hate the menu and controls. Update: I have put some effort into the game looking a little better and playing a little better but they are just not helping enough. The combat, running back and forth, and known length of the game are just too much for me to put up with at this time (to go along with the fact I'd rather be finishing the books and replaying W2 before W3). Update - Couldn't take it, stopped playing, focused on reading the books and playing Witcher 2.
