Finally got round to playing Life is Strange & I'm hooked after 2 episodes but it's bloody depressing

I've been playing Runescape Chronicle. Chronicle is to Runescape what Hearthstone is to World of Warcraft (a card game based on characters and objects from the RPG). I can tell it was definitely inspired by Hearthstone, and although the game is very different, many aspects and mechanics of Chronicle are taken from Hearthstone.

**Silent Puffin?**

Dark Age of Camelot on the Uthgard freeshard which has finally entered beta.

Payday 2 got a nice skill tree overhaul a few days ago, completely shaking up the meta and making builds a whole lot more fun and useful. feth the witches who say otherwise.

Also decided to get Sydney, she's fun. Now if only her pager lines were as funny as those done by Jimmy..

My poorly named space explorers are still doing fairly well in Stellaris, although being so peaceful is kind of boring. Currently working on another faction or two so they're friendly and open to joining our alliance. Just developed Federation technology and while I'm not exactly sure what that does... sounds like an upgrade from alliance. Need a round four dudes to make it happen.

I feel like I'm getting a bit blocked for progress on account of my race's preference for water planets, bad adaptability trait, and the fact that I'm not sure that I've yet ONCE seen the tech for colonizing non-ocean worlds pop up on the list of things I can research. Add to that hyperspace/lane/whatever travel and I'm about as expanded as I'm gonna get until one of those technologies shows up. Had to make an outpost just to snag a few more systems into the warm embrace of my scary looking fishdudes.

Humorously enough, that outpost was in the Sol system, so I'm currently attempting to raise renaissance level humanity to junior space travelers who will hopefully be indebted to me and wont y'know overthrow my empire and burn the galaxy down around their own ears. It's humans so... not optimistic.

Started a second game in a smaller galaxy with another random (maybe fungi?) race that's militaristic and am currently engaging the first aliens we ever met in a war to cede their home planet to my faction. I figure if I get all aggressive in another save, my starfish dudes won't have any lapses of judgement.

WAAAGH!!!

Hard Reset Redux. Such a gakky modern shooter. Going back to Brutal DOOM

**GrimDork**

Haha, nah turns out they're actually Molluscoid apparently so definitely not orks.

They managed to defeat and subjugate their nearest neighbor, and the massed slave armies they drew from the populace proved instrumental (or well, cost 1/3 the price of the regular guys!) in forcing the other two factions to become my vassals. Technically that game is won, although I could do the 40% of the territory owned by me one too. Or just keep sandboxing, I guess there will eventually be end-game-ish events like robot uprisings and ancient fallen empires to deal with.

And my original race is still kicking around too.

A good buy, I dunno how long it will hold my interest in the long term, but it's definitely fairly relaxing compared to my more actiony titles.

**EdSnark**

Doing a new play through of The Witcher 3 so I can play the DLCs, now that I've got internet connection back for my PS4. Blood and Wine looks awesome so I'm stoked to play it, shame I won't be able to for a while, given how long it'll take to get to level 30 and do the main game. The DLCs are for level 30+, right? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere...

**Ensis Ferrae**

Just picked up Doom.... the kids are down, and I'm hoping the heat in the house doesn't kill the playstation.

**Melissia**

Picked Dungeons of Dredmor back up. Glorious example of turn-based combat that isn't boring and tedious.

**Co'tor Shas**

Fallout 2. It's a good game.

**BrookM**

We've gone back into Payday 2 full-time now it seems.

The redone skill trees are a blast to play around with, much more flexible and logically put together, plus paired with some of the newer perk decks.. suddenly going loud isn't that much of a bother any more.

Hopefully I'll be able to get to Infamy level 5 tonight or tomorrow.

**Co'tor Shas**

Stellaris just finished downloading. Should be fun.

**nels1031**

Back into Mechwarrior Online.

Loving my new Jenner IIC, its like my Locust except it can survive a few hits! Sad that my unit pretty much died while I was gone, though.

Time to find a new unit, I guess.

**Nordicus**

Just got my platinum trophy in Dark Souls 3, and still digging it.

**Compel**

Dark Souls was on sale on Steam for a fiver, so I picked it up.

I'm quite pleased with myself by killing the tutorial boss after only a couple of deaths... Which is probably not something to be pleased about, but having seen people spend an 90 minutes trying to kill the first boss in DS3 online, I think I'm going to let myself feel pleased with myself.

So, got to the shrine, met the first npc, chatted to him a bunch, where he talks about. "Oh, so, you can restore your humanity by killing a healthy undead." Or something. Then he added, "no, don't even think about it..."

Long story short, I've learned how to parry iin the game...

**ShieldBrother**

Witcher 's new expansion, it's great.

However I have been playing some World of Tanks here and there...

**2BlackJack1**

I beat Shadow of Mordor. It was fun, but got progressively easier as time went on. I don't even count the last two boss fights as fights. It was just smashing the same button, or hitting random buttons in a sequence. Until that point it was a blast though.

The hardest bit for me was trying to get to 'The Tower' or whatever his name is. I went through the entire game not dominating any warlords because thats cheap as hell, and when the level started my jaw basically dropped. Still managed to beat it though, only it took a lot of sweating, pausing, water and EXTREME luck. After I finished the level, I started dominating cool looking Uruks because I thought that there would probably be another level like that, and, lo and behold, the second last bit in the last level is a 5vWarlord fight. Which I just let them fight it out. In short, my guys lost and I had to 3v1 them. And the only reason I found those levels hard was because my controller was very fragile, and rapidly pressing buttons wrecks it.

It is now sitting somewhere in my house with crayon drawings on it.

**Melissia**

A friend and I are playing Terraria together. The addition of the Steam hosting makes it so much easier to play together, it's amazing.

**GrimDork**

Oh wow that sounds like a huge quality of life upgrade over the original set up. I dunno why but I always like it when someone else (like a company) is running the server.

Yeah, it apparently hit last month or early this month.

**GrimDork**

Almost surprised they keep popping out updates. I played it through once or twice but it was ages ago. Switched to starbound but never really got too into it (still don't think it was done at the time...if it even is now). I don't have the time to spend to build the really amazing things that people do and other than that playing through once is about as long as they get my attention.

**Co'tor Shas**

Starbound it supposed to get it's 1.0 release sometime soon I think.

**Gamgee**

Fallout 4. With all Witcher 3 stuff done it's basically back to the lesser rpg's I never finished. After this I'm going to finish up the last of my PoE playthrough and then play Dishonored dlc which I haven't done yet after ages.

**Conrad Turner**

I rarely finish a game.

Fallout 4 I have over 400 hours in, and have never got to the point where I actively have to choose a faction. There's just too much shiny stuff that keeps distracting me. I have one character that's going to side with the Brotherhood, one that's going to side with the Institute, one who's Minutemen all the way, and a few others I haven't made my mind up about yet. But one is in limbo near the end of Automatron, another is currently bumming around Far Harbour, one is scouring the wasteland for Concrete for a high-tech Sanctuary, and another is looking at a huge main settlement at the drive-in with self-contained water, food, and power that no enemy will ever be able to get to.

And other than that, I'm filling those dreary, wet hours with classic games from GoG.Com, such as X-wing, TIE Fighter, and others.

**Co'tor Shas**

Still on Stellaris. It's a lot of fun, but I'm really bad at it. I wish it has an easy-mode so I could practice, sort of how I did for Civ V. Although I might try and make a pseudo easy-mode by getting mods to boost all the production by 25% or something.
