What Video Game are you Currently Playing?

For those of you who have played Skylanders: Are there any difficulty settings(i.e. easy, medium, hard)?

Just trying to get a feel for how difficult this game is.

Aaaah, but I figured out how to fix it. Apparently Skyrim and Windows interact with each other pretty weird, so when Skyrim is playing, Windows thinks nothing is happening. After about 20 minutes, it goes into powersave mode, causing the monitor and windows to sleep. However, Skyrim is still trying to play, causing the computer to mess itself up. I turned off powersave mode, and voila! My crashing is gone.

Good, have a blast playing! I know that pain of wanting to game and it's not just working right. Wierd that they coded Skyrim in such a way though.

Apparently this is just a personal fix. Others are getting the black screen, and even when suggested with this, and they tried it, it didn't work for them.

I'm having a weird issue, possibly a bug, in Skyrim: Dragons won't attack me all of a sudden. I left a dungeon with my second Dragon Word of the game, and over the course of the next 2 hours had 2 separate dragons circle over me for about 30 minutes each without attacking. Tried to hit them with arrows, succeeded in hitting them with spells, no dice. If this continues, I don't know how I'll unlock my words to continue the quest. From what I understand, there is a complex algorithm if you will for the game to determine when to have a dragon attack you; there is some mix of companion presence, availability of protective terrain, presence of other enemies, etc that is taken into account. I just can't figure out how to get them to attack: I've had a companion each time; the first time I was near a forest where I could run around in to avoid breath attacks, the second near a fort; both times there were other figures around, but not terribly close (first time was just some mud crabs and mammoths, the second just some wolves).

Check the forums and submit the issue. This is very likely a bug. Do you have a save from before the issue started? I'd recommend trying to play from one of them, otherwise you might have to start all over again. Fallout 3 was like this and after the patch, many people had to restart their games.

Haven't come across any bugs in Skyrim yet, at least none that I've noticed.

Same here, but I'm on PS3. About 13 hours in and haven't even touched the main quest. I am head of the Companions and the Dark Brotherhood, however. Both questlines are awesome!

Yeah, haven't touched the main quest yet either and I'm probably about 15 hours in maybe. Started the Companions questing, then got sidetracked while exploring. Favorite part of the game, so many things to do. Probably need to spend some time crafting armor as my leather armor just isn't getting it done anymore.

Apparently someone has hired the Dark Brotherhood to kill me in Skyrim. I'm excited to see where this goes!

Playing RAGE on PC. Fun game, but initially the game didn't start and was actually missing a crucial file from the download. Luckily I found a download for that specific file and didn't have to download the whole 25GB (< Why 25GBs? Someone explain to me why this game needs to be like 2-3 times the size of the average game) game again. I don't know who to blame, Bethesda, Steam, or my own computer. Other than that, no bugs encountered so far. The game itself is pretty fun.

World In Conflict: Soviet Assault. Playing 1 or 2 missions a day. Fun game.

And Team Fortress 2. Getting sick of playing maining the Medic class all day because everyone that plays Team Fortress 2 is a selfish asshole that plays nothing but Sniper or Spy or some other useless twig class, so I've decided to take a break from playing Medic and play other classes. I just want to play Sniper or Pyro every once and a while, yet whenever I want to there are already fifty-god damned-seven of them, it's terrible. Okay, Snipers and Spies are cool and all, but we don't need 3 of them, play something useful please.
