Not all the stuff they promised is out yet, but it looks like ever week they will be realising new stuff. So far there no new pet costumes, but there is a new pet that is dressed up as a mummy. Also, the costumes are one piece, so no mixing and matching different parts.

There two new mini games one is just like the mining/berry picking/blacksmithing game and the other one is somewhat similar to the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs game that they had running through September for Americans only.

There is a special Halloween prize wheel, too. The decorations are super cool; you can tell that they went the extra mile. All in all, it's a great update. It's just too bad that I have done almost everything there is to do in the game, so I won’t be playing it much. #freerealms

This was a pretty good game for the first few days I played it before moving on. Good game though.

Though with Earth Realm out, I wonder which browser game of the two is the best? Discounting Runescape of course.

Earth Realm has furries, just in case any animal fetish lover is looking for a new MMO.

Edit: Apparently I'm the only one who's played this game. spooktacular!

"The Booty Call: The most terrifying thing about this particular horror is the sheer fact that we spend the better part of our youth desperate for moments like this, and now we have to pause to think about it, even for a moment."

Oh god yes. That exactly how I feel now....ha god its ironic!

I read all the above, then shreaked in horror and shut down the computer, afraid to do any electronic thing tonight.

An Oblivion save game with 260 hours recorded on it.

Destroyed due to the transference of an XBox Live account.

Microsoft is the scariest gaming company ever.

Do... do people actually turn down booty calls because of games?

I mean, I guess if your significant other is a rampant nympho...

no, wait...

Ow. My brain.

I once came home from a date to find my apartment had been broken into resulting in the loss of my entire game collection (minus PS and DC games, but still around 200 titles in total).

They left Phantasy Star Online Vol 1 and 2 for the Gamecube though...

I remember this one time one of my friends was playing Resident Evil 3. Right as he finished off Nemesis for the last time, PUPPIES! They knocked the Playstation over and he lost over an hour of playtime.

28 streak kill on COD 4 NO DEATHS, When my controller runs out of juice. I scream frantically and try to turn on my other controller, I turn it on, but see it placed as the 4th controller. I forgot about GH:WT inserted in my USB drive. Before I can place it as the first, I see a grenade planted right on my feet.

I DID IT!! I quickly toss the grenade back killing 1 person. Now I have a total of 29 kills, only to see a

"CONNECTION ERROR, YOU HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED" (My heart does a 360 and nearly explodes)

@goldwings: Ugh, the worst thing is, you KNOW once your rhythm gets interrupted in a game like that, it's almost always gone once you get going again.

As a kid I could only play my NES for an hour a day. Regardless.

Needless to say, games did not get finished at my house. It kind of turned every game into a survival horror game. Blasting through Mario 3 as the clock ticks down... ><

What about--little brother deleted your save file.

Although it did give me an excuse to play more Shining Force 2.

Ahem. For the booty call...pause game, get it on, resume when done. If there is a need to cuddle well, what wouldn't be more enjoyable than watching your boyfriend eviscerate monsters while curled up beside him?

Not a thing I tell ya.

The best is having a system failure on your birthday. It happened to me this year. After a long day of classes, I sat down on my birthday to enjoy some GTA4 this past August. 10 minutes in, *FREEZE*. I turned my 360 off and back on to see my very first ring of death.
