So ... many ... games!
I've been playing like a madman (or rather, like someone who knows Christmas break ends eventually). The Steam sales lately have given me so many games for so cheap I'm running out of room on my desktop for all the shortcuts, and that's not even counting all the free indie horror I've been playing lately too (speaking of which, now that I've become so much braver, so many of them are SO DISAPPOINT).
I've even re-bought games that I own on other platforms -- specifically I'm thinking of Resident Evil 6, which, in its PC incarnation, exceeds my wildest dreams, solving every last problem I had (and there were very few) with the PS3 version. First, I was pleased to find that backing up my save data (so that I always have a save with a fresh Mercenaries Mode with no scores set) was as easy as copying a single file. Then, I found a save editor that allowed me to unlock all the stages and characters (and even their alternate costumes, which you otherwise have to "earn" via online events!) for the Mercenaries Mode, saving me the trouble of even bothering with the long hard slog of re-completing the entire campaign that I'd been dreading,
and it will let me reset the stage scores to 0 whenever I want, obviating the need to keep separate save data in the first place. And
then, I even found a mod allowing me to replace all the X360 button icons with PS3 button icons, eliminating the final unwanted difference between this and the PS3 version (not that button icons are even close to a big deal in the first place).
So now I have a version of this game that I'll never lose, can be edited and modified as I desire, allows all forms of input, and will only get better with time (that is, on future PCs).
Also
Dark Souls. This game is incredible. Why did I ever doubt it? I never did as well with Demon's Souls. Maybe I'm just more used to the idea of a PC game I can't pause.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, and then died.
Even just playing these was my "unconquerable mountain" starting back in February when just watching videos of these games put me down a path where I scared myself so bad I was a wreck for what must have been weeks. And now I'm not just playing them, I'm playing them and trying to beat them!
But if the walkthrough I glance at every now and then just to make sure I'm not completely off track is correct, I'm nearing the end now that I've defeated Sif.

But I would have changed what I said regardless, because I discovered so many entirely new, vast-looking areas just this session.
