PC: Crusader Kings II, mostly as the Empire of Francia but a little bit of Denmark on the side.
3DS: Fire Emblem: Awakening. Second playthrough.
Phone: 2048. Very addicting!
PS3: Off-and-on, Tales of Xillia (so far not my favorite Tales game ) and Skyrim (which is confusing for me, because I am new to Elder Scrolls and spent my first hour accidentally in Stealth mode).
I've also been playing Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV, although more of EUIV. I'm playing as France at the moment because it's basically easy-mode. There's an excellent Game of Thrones mod for CKII that I should really get more into, though.
Recently finished FF8, started on Deus Ex: The Fall but the single save was a serious turnoff. I picked up Banished from the Steam sale so I will likely play that over the weekend.
Also playing Hearthstone during afternoon break at work for the dailies.

The steam summer sale has had me eyeballing Hearts of Iron 3 with some interest. Any experience with it?
@Kialkarkea HoI is my least favorite Paradox game, but I still kind of like it. I found it way harder to figure out the mechanics for it than any of the others, and it's a little too railroaded into historic accuracy for me. Also, Paradox is working on 4 right now, if that's relevant to your decision making process.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
I've used the Watch_Dogs app on my iPhone. It's pretty cool. You use the helicopter to chase down a person in their game and call the cops on them, raise barriers, etc, to stop them from reaching the final checkpoint. So, when you accept the ctOS Mobile Challenge in the game, there is actually a person on a phone or tablet controlling the cops!
This sounds very, very cool and an interesting way to tie in the game play to real life - like you're hacking your friends' games. Will definitely be giving this a go!
Played through Bastion again last night, and on finding myself inspired by this thread decided to check up on the status of Transistor, a beautiful game from the same developer...
DAILY DEAAAALLL, HOOO YES.

Hearts of Iron 3 is probably the worst one out of the CK/EU/Vic/HoI series, by far. Hearts of Iron 2 is a classic (Darkest Hour, is what it's called now, and on Steam) and has a bunch of awesome mods.
The CK2 Game of Thrones mod is damn good and damn fun. I didn't know there were so many people that played Paradox games. I've just started replaying Victoria, I haven't bought EU4 yet.

I both hate and love you for this. My intrigue has led to me staring at this bloody thing for about 45 minutes straight whilst I am meant to be doing work! Thank you!
Just a bit of Saints Row IV. It's juvenile and obnoxious but the set pieces are hilarious. Might make no sense unless you've played III. My Boss looks like Queen Latifah.
I also ended up buying Dishonored and all it's DLC along with Skyrim: Legendary Edition this morning before I left for work.
I also bought GOTY Dishonored, great minds think alike
I had the base game on 360, but not the DLC, and there's little chance of me actually paying for X-Box Live, so decided to pick it up, though will hate having to go through a lot of stuff I'd already did.

The message I'm getting from this thread is that all the divines need to get together and have a CK2 multiplayer campaign and then tell us how it goes.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
360 - Skyrim mostly. PC - Thanks to the Steam Summer Sale: Half-Life, Garry's Mod, Sanctum, and I really want to play Dark Souls but I can't get the damn frame-rate high enough to make it tolerable, even with the DSFix mod that everyone recommends. Another few I play a lot in general but haven't played much lately are Minecraft, Terraria, Path of Exile, and Rift. 3DS - Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon Y, Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Wii - Red Steel, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Phone - Pretty much just Lusternia and Sudoku puzzles. I'm boring like that.
EDIT - Can't believe I forgot Borderlands 2!
The drone, the whistle, the thundrous sound; It seared their eyes, it shook the ground. One hundred thousand voices lift, While ashes like dirty snowfall drift.
The clouds of purple glowing gas, The tiny sun is rising fast. Your star... Is on the rise.

Oh, we tried. Together Shikari, Isune, and I were to rule as the three wise kings of Poland, Bulgaria, and Croatia. Together we would have pushed back the Ottomans, repelled the Mongol invasions, and united all of Europe beneath our benevolent rule (with yours truly as the overlord emperor of the world and the others as my adoring vassals), but somebody (ISUNE) decided they'd like to play on a 56k modem.
No way. My Vanguard Shep was femshep because I like her voice acting way better than maleshep.
I can't listen to Femshep without hearing the piss whiny tones of Bastila Shan and wanting to strangle her, I never feel bad about executing her in KOTOR.
Then at the same time there's moments you can hear Naomi Hunter and I get all sorts of MGS1 feels. Jennifer Hale is an amazing voice actress but has simply done far too many things that her voice simply isn't distinctive in any one single role anymore. Whereas Mark Meer has pretty much taken bit part/small roles and hasn't had a great deal of dialogue outside of Shepard.
I have the exact same problem now with Cam Clarke, his voice is liquid (cwidt?) audiable sex but his characters all sound so similar.
Which is why I really hope Elias Toufexis never takes on another large gaming role.
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Dragon Age series > Mass Effect series (though ME3 >>>>> DA2)
Also, Bastila is the shit in Kotor, it's Carth that I want to strangle. Carth is just the worst.
Clearly, we need to get a huge CK2 online of only Byzantine duchies. Or German Dukes. Or Russian Dukes, get owned by the Mongols, and come back fighting!

Been dipping a toe or two in Europa Universalis 4... so far, failing miserably at it.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Shep: STEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!! [heartbreak and alarm intensifies]
Steve: I'm okay!
Shepard: ...u sure?
EDIT: Favorite class is Vanguard. Shotgun charges all day.
