Playing Rune Factory 4. Last game that might ever get made of the series since the company shut down. It's Harvest Moon with swords.

Spent over $200 to get an american 2DS and this game since it was never released in Australia. Now I can woo the characters, from the innocent waifu to the exotic stripper husbando, the dedicated prince or the easily flustered knight and others besides.

A very welcome change to the games I normally play, most of which I've had for years and was getting sick of them.

WoW.
Again.

Levelling a Prot Pally and Warr to 85, then leaving them until I can gather the force of will required to go through Pandaland for a sixth and seventh time. That place is awful, really awful.

Re-installing Mechwarrior 4 again. Good times

Had a go of the Warmachine tactics beta, it's clunky and limited ATM so I uninstalled it. Certainly not worth playing for me yet,

Finished Dishonored with low Chaos, enjoyed the ending, not too much drive to go back into the game as of now.

Started Saints Row the Third. I don't know why I didn't start this series earlier.

It has all the world building of GTA: SA with the humor and violence of GTA: VC, then dosed with enough amphetamines to kill an elephant.

I LOVE IT!

Saints Row the Third is great, probably one of my favorite open world games. What I like about the series is that they've recognized that the whole "open world city" thing is absurd by nature, and embraced that fact.

Precisely! The entire gang of cyber-punk teenagers who wear giant Final Fantasy style swords on their backs with Tron-style light cycle territory missions? SOLD!

I really am enjoying taking 100% control of each district. The Morning Stars are gone and the Deckers are on their last legs.

I just got my tenth character to 90. It's easier to level through it when you remember all the sweet golds.

Leveling characters for RP is also a wondrous motivator.

Picking up my Xbox One with Destiny in two hours

ISSSAAAAAAC!

I played through a lot of Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons while I was traveling this weekend. I forgot how unforgiving the older GBC Zelda games were!

Well at the moment I'm starting to remember that tanking in LFG is practically signing one's sanity away. Ninja pullers, shouts of 'pull more' every five seconds, pets with growl, voidwalkers with taunt, retribution paladin with righteous fury, hunters who don't dismiss pets to stop them running through half the instance to get to where the hunter is, pulling everything in sight on the way...

But we all know it's my fault at the end of the day. Not even the old "you pull it, you tank it" thing works now.

Predominatley World of Tanks at the moment

Destiny is installing... Aaaah!

Played less than an hour so far, loving it, too. :p

Want to pick it up but my controllers are screwed ATM.

Having a Rome Total War (not the new one) marathon at the moment.
Just finished Egypt, now moving onto a Carthage playthrough.

Dwarf fortress?

Dwarf fortress.

I picked up Rust to play with some friends, it isn't a bad game, a bit of a midway between DayZ and Unturned.

That being said, I regretted my purchase only 20 min into the game, I know it is an alpha and the alpha is not the problem.

The rampant hacking IS a problem that completely destroys any attempt at having fun.

Is isn't fun spending hours to gather resources to build a base only to have a hacker come thru and steal everything.

Maybe, just maybe I will try again when the cheating dies down but as of right now, do. not. bother. with this game.

Back to World of Tanks and Eve Online I go.

Can't get past the learning cliff of dwarf fortress

You just reminded me why I ended up leaving that game. I liked tanking and healing. Which both rolls get a crap ton of flak for exactly what you mentioned. It's always the healers fault for not keeping everyone alive with what you mentioned happening all the time. Good god that annoyed me to the extreme.

Blame chain:

Healer -> Tank -> Lag -> Blizzard sucks at coding!

It took me quite a while to really get things down, but I think it's worth it. The Dwarf Fortress wiki and forums are good resources for learning, too. People there are pretty welcoming to new players who are trying to figure things out; we've all been there, after all.

Pretty much. And that applies to almost every other MMORPG as well.

I gave every group three chances when I tanked, because y'know, gak happens. After the second time I'd /party a warning saying that I'm not here to clean up stupidity and if the Hunter wants to tank the boss, then I'll go. Third time, I wouldn't say anything, I'd blow all my cooldowns, pull like 6-7 mobs, put up my shield and hearth. Not really justice for that sort of asinine behavior, but it was the only way people would learn.

Ahh pick up groups...

So yeah I've fallen fully into FFT relapse. It's so bad that I'm actually running two parties right now. A 'normal' unit, and another where I've renamed Ramza to Ash and refuse to use human soldiers and NPCs except when forced by story missions.

I trained to mediator as fast as possible, ditched all of my human dead weight, and 'hired' a monster party. Going to try to keep my team right around the proper level for the story encounters, deleveling "Ash" with that certain trap and refreshing the monster team as necessary. So a monster rancher run through that's *almost* challenge mode too. It's interesting to try to win the maps with the skill sets of the monsters rather than my own highly specialized (and set up 'just so') strike team.

It's on my phone too, so I'm playing this crap constantly when not actively working

Ordered a Retro Entertainment System on a whim, since I have a ton of NES games. Hopefully my review is of it actually working, once it gets here, because I would love to play some Bionic Commando or any of the other 100+ games in my NES library.

Dayz, so after getting gunned down by some "friendly" players, and spawning 2 times at the same camped location, I respawned at the capital, looted it for everything except guns, and wandered across an AFK player. kept swiping with my machete, then he woke up, and ran down the stairs of the skyscraper. I left him to it.

Then I went down awhile later, his dead body was on the stairs. I actually felt guilty for about 15 minutes. Running around with a double rifle,vest and so on. Not really bothered with loot, just survival.

The last time I played it my friend and I had got heaps of gear. Fully loaded with M16's and side arms. Food for days and weeks. We spawned next to a guy who was just chilling by the ship. We decided to let him go, a we made it past the 1st treeline into the second tree line. Just as I stopped to eat we heard the crack of a rifle. Stunned a bit, we look around then we hear about 4-6 guns open up and bullets wizzing around us.

Little did we know it was a highly efficient band of bandits hunting us. They knew what they where doing, but they had terrible aim. My friend ran straight to some hills and I actually ran towards the gunners for a bit before noticing the flashes. I had to run onto the beach to avoid getting hit (lower ground) and made it back to my friend. We lay down with heaps of cover from the hill and the enemy muzzle flashes are lighting up their tree line. So we fire back at them and we finally take a hit (after about 2 minutes of firing) and my buddy is bleeding, as I patch him up he takes another hit and the game glitches so i cant keep healing him. I saw 3 guys trying to flank us so I left him there to shoot at the guys in the tree line while I prepared to hold off on the flank. My friend died and they must have caught on, because after a minute or 2 of shooting the flankers a guy poured a hole clip into me (and missed) as I turned around a bullet struck me and I was unconscious.

In my dying moments they said we injured 3 and killed on of their men. Was adrenaline inducing to the max.

Another time, in the early days of playing it I went into one of the shore houses. I heard a guy whisper that I was now in his rape shack. I went for the door but 2 armed to the teeth guys came in the doors and told me to surrender. I just punched him (well tried) and didnt stop, so he knocked me out somehow. I woke up tied up on the ground. He started talking, but I just stood up and started walking towards the door. They where yelling and sounded confused. A message popped up saying I had broken free and so I just bolted. I hid in a bush and watched them come towards my area guns aimed. I ran screaming into the mike and tried to punch someone. They shot me and then healed me. Siad it was the funniest thing they had had happen to them, gave me gear and left.

I followed them for hours picking up their left overs etc without them seeing. I managed to kill one before the other guy logged off.

I might go back and play it again actually. I heard they have fixed the logging issue.

Yeah it's actually half decent now, They are putting in another town, and making fridges and stoves containers now.

At another point, I was freshly respawned after a zed ate my brains, spawned at the ship. Went inside and found a dinky dead body. picked it over, grabbed almost everything in there.

came out, my game lagged and I got shot. 3 bandit hunters thinking I killed this guy.
