@Bromsy ditto! I just hope I get an actual chance to play for a few hours this time. Had thought I was done with MMOs, but that last brief play thru really piqued my interest!

After playing on the Xbox 360 controller for 5 years, it's weird being back on a PS controller, especially the six-axis controller. But it's been worth it so far. I need to find my HDMI cable so I can put this suckers graphics to the test. Atm I'm just on the standard RCA cables :-\

I did the opposite of that a few years ago. Switched from PS3 to Xbox, and man was that a weird conversion. Though I think the Xbox controller is superior.

I think the stick placement on the 360 controller is better and the triggers, but the ps3 controller beats it in weight (not as heavy for long gaming sessions), and I think the sticks themselves are better on the ps3.

I like the stick placement and weight of the PS3 controller more, but I like everything else about the 360 controller. And I regularly switch between the two, and it's always super weird. Haha.

I got used to the original belkin n52 nostromo and *anything* else feels weird to me whether its trying to use they keyboard (can't play StarCraft 2 cause can't do keyboard and I couldn't find a n52 layout that worked for it for me) or any controller. I've got a Bluetooth for my phoneulator that I'm working in getting used to but I'm pretty bad at it

I'm playing "where the feth is my graphics card you bastards, your service is terrible and your site straight up lies"

That's kind of like a video game right? Shouting at stupid people at stupid companies.

It does remind me of some really bad games and the emotions they bring out of you. So yes, let's count it. Get a refund and try another company?

What's your impression of it? I quite like the X series; so was wondering if I should pick it up...

It's a horrifically buggy mess, more so than X games usually are on release; its basically in an alpha stage of development. In a years time it may be good once its been heavily patched and modders have had their way with it but at the moment its not worth your money.

Ah...

Well that's a shame; I enjoy X3 quite a lot... May just stick with that when I want my space game fix...

I have been a long time fan of X games but as Palindrome stated it is a beautiful looking buggy alpha mess, and to be honest not really a X game. Frowny Face.

Arma 3. Mostly Wasteland multiplayer. It's had me "working from home" for a couple days. Never has a game been simultaneously so fun and so frustrating.

Looking to jump back into Farcry 3 again. Just need to bite through the horrible opening and the initial whining of the protagonist and then it's hello enjoyable sandbox game!

I might be partially addicted to Minecraft on the 360.. shocked I waited this long to give it a go. Hell I only picked it up as my eldest wanted a go as a lot of his school friends are playing it.

Oh and little box might be turning up in a couple of hours... sadly the patch and my connection means I might get to try Dead Rising 3 about supper time Saturday.

Yup that game has a way of pulling you in. I played with my son one time and I was hooked for weeks on it

The PS4 had one as well--just not as large.

It's an activation patch which also features finalized updates to the system architecture.

It was also going to be available outside of the xbox, but Microsoft pulled out of that at the 11th hour. You were going to be able to download the patch, put it on a usb drive and install it on your system, but now if you don't have Live, Microsoft will "work with you" to get this problem solved.

Toy Soldiers on the PC, either they finally fixed the sound issue, or it's due to me switching to Windows 7.

Also been playing a lot of Mahjong.

Mechwarrior Online mostly.

Though been getting back into Planetside 2 now that I have a PC capable of running it on max settings.

May be trying some warframe today, if I feel like it.

Also working on setting up X-split for streaming etc. but new webcam is giving me jib.

Jumping between Minecraft, WoW & X-Com: Enemy within, but the DHL oracle whispers that tomorrow my PS4 arrives and therefore Killzone: Shadow Fall calls for my attention ...

Got to play the new Killzone and new Assassin's Creed on PS4 yesterday.

I just...wow. Both games were tons of fun! I was really impressed with both

After being clean for over 2 years, my will broke and I have returned to EVE.

Ehh MMO relapses happen. I find mine usually don't last long.

Agree, mine typically last a week or two.

And then you stay away longer cause you feel like you wasted your subscription and have that bitter taste for awhile

Mine never came, but then again I tried WoW & WAR for a day each and felt so utterly violated I needed a show afterwards. Never returned to any sort of MMO, never will

I just started playing Terraria after getting it on sale for like 2.50 on steam =)

Just finished the story in AC4 but there are still forts to conquer, wrecks to explore and stuff to kill. Lost of stuff to do before I hang up the cutlasses and pistols.

Oh that's already a thing? I should pay closer attention to my steam notifications =/ Better than 3?

Still playing Skyrim until I get BG2:EE (letting it be for xmas).

I've been playing Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii.
