And now that I said I was more or less glitch free my console keeps locking up

NextGen or PC, PS3, 360?

NextGen is I think two patch cycles behind but DICE is working overtime trying to get fixes out. "China Rising" had some unfortunate issues that got past testing.

360. I didn't think any of the next gen consoles had an outstanding selection so we may get one when some strong games come out (The Division has my interest). At least no freezing so far tonight (bar the weather)..... just random disconnects from servers

I've just been playing a sh*tload of fallout 3. When the time came to sacrifice somebody for the water purifier I decided to throw in my follower Fawkes who was immune to radiation anyway. Overly heroic sacrifice? Not on my watch. Everybody lives including Fawkes because he was immune anyway and when sarah lyons stops being unconscious (I'm not a sick b*stard like some of you out there) there's going to be lots of my character boning with her ;P. Too bad it's the implied let's be in the same bed together while naked and kissing type of sex rather than the actual kind. Sadly it doesn't even have that much. While I think 'the witcher' makes their main character into a man-whore it's at least nice to see something even if it is a copy paste sex scene from what little I've seen of witcher 2. Just would be nice to see some characters that build up emotional connections to do a little more than say they like each other and blushing.

Dunno about all of that, but I do know I was a bit cross with Bethesda/whoever for trying to make me feel bad for wanting to save the day *and* live. FFS... I felt I should be rewarded MORE for being a smart and progressive adventurer who saw past Fawkes' exterior and knew he was meant for something greater than his cage's incinerator button. But no, game decided to make me feel like a jerk for not jumping down the throat of heroic sacrifice.

*Ahem...

Still enjoyed the game more than New Vegas, for whatever reason.

Fawkes deserves more love I think and fleshing out. He was by far my most interesting, trustworthy and overall best follower of the whole game. I never even met that freaking dog yet if I will. Also Fawkes is a freaking tank. He makes the brotherhood of steel guys look like chumps and I don't think his health even got close to low.

I gave him a chance like a lot of people and it paid off so hard it was unbelievable.

Been throwing a gak tons of mods on skyrim yesterday just to see how much I can tax my machine.

We get it, you got the Chuck-Norris-on-Roids of the PC world, stop rubbing it in our faces.

the actual kind

the actual kind

Then you clearly haven't been looking through the mods thoroughly enough (there is a mod out there, for pretty much every bethesda game, that adds the 'actual kind' in as you so desire.

As for me, I've been bouncing between brutal legend, skyrim, LEGO LotR, Prison Architect and New Vegas like some wierd videogame ADHD.

World of Tanks.

I am addicted. I played way into the morning last night. I am thoroughly enjoying this game. Look me up if you are new as well. I am only Tier 2 right now.

I will never stop rubbing things on your face.

Went back to World of Tanks, my little cat wants to have a walk from time to time.


But somehow I always end like this



Maybe a wink of Mother Russia to join my comrades and ride a KV or IS into battle.

Currently playing New Game + on Darkness 2.

It's really easy early game. They should have scaled the enemies.
That said, it's really fun using gun-kata on gangsters. They just all die

The restraining order says otherwise.

Restraining orders are just playing hard to get

Why does that sound so dirty/kinky coming from a European?

Well isn't the actual phrasing 'rub it *in* your face' not on? Maybe that's the problem

picked up Tochlight 2 on Steam and really having fun.

STILL playing a ton of World of Tanks and kicking ass. My IS-2 and IS should be breaking the 60% w/r shortly.

Doing another play through of XCom. Trying to mop up some of the achievements I missed.

Installed and started playing Far Cry 3. A few observations so far:

1. It’s a lot of fun.

2. I like how your hands/weapons are part of the environment, so that when you go near a wall your gun actually comes up and you can’t use it. Quite a bit different to most FPS where the gun is just a graphic that takes up no physical space in the world.

3. Crafting progression is silly and arbitrary. I need two boar skins to build the next weapon sling? Ok. Done. Now I need… three goat skins? Why can’t I just use the other boar skins I have? Wait now I need two leopard skins? Why are my guns so precious that one of them demands I craft a leopard skin holster for it? This is one area where TB was 100% right. I’m charging through them because I’m persistent, but it doesn’t make it any less stupid.

4. All my deaths have been funny so far. First death was when I went to hunt boar, and ended up staring down a Sumatran Tiger. The exchange was:

“Ok, I’m at the way point.”
“Oh, some bandits. I’d better get down.”
“What was that growl?”
“Is that a tiger?”
“That’s a tiger!”
“It’s seen me.”
“It’s coming right for me!”
*blam blam blam blam blam*
“Ahh! It’s got me!”
*blam blam blam blam blam*
*dies*

Another death came from me sliding down a steep hill for about half a second and hitting a small rock. It was so stupid. And the final time was me getting ganged up on by Komodo Dragons. I got them back though. 4x4 across your spine – take that you fething lizard!

5. The game looks ever so pretty on my PC. All settings on max, some parts just look real.

6. My first time in the water was hunting down blue-flowered plants. I looked to my left and noticed a distinctly crocodilian shaped shadow in the water. Swam to shore, looked back and lo and behold, there’s a crocodile hiding in some lilies. A few rounds later I was collecting his hide.

7. The game told me that my next weapon required a shark-skin holster, and for that I needed two sharks. Hmm… I wasn’t about to go hunting sharks in the open water plus water-based enemies just freak the hell out of me in video games (I blame the Ichthyosaur from Half-Life for giving me that phobia… of maybe the eel things in Quake 2). Anyway, I was nearing a coastline with the patrol boat I’d found when I jumped back into the water and noticed a few schools of fish and then something… bigger. Jumped back into my boat and yep, there’s a shark milling around. Well… lucky I just happen to have a Russian 12.7mm mounted machine gun here. That made fishing for sharks easy.

8. Spreading fires look amazing. Did it by accident once. Fire went everywhere whilst some crazy leopard took everyone else out for me.

I’m liking this game.

@H.B.M.C. Okay, after reading that post, for some reason I wish you made a let's play on Far Cry 3.

Ahhh, I love that game. Nothing better than blasting CSMs with the Rail Rifle.

My Far Cry 3 saga continues. My deaths continue to be very silly.

1. Got killed by another komodo dragon. It attacked me while I was fighting bandits. Came back and ran over all of them in my car. That’s my preferred anti-Komodo measure: Run the fethers over!

2. I had to go shark hunting again, which is more difficult without a big machine gun. Damned bull sharks take two sniper rounds to take out, but I got there in the end. Freakiest part was when I was swimming back to my boat and swam over a shark. It didn’t get me, but I drove my boat into the coastline as fast as I could to get away. I hate sharks.

3. Was moving on an enemy camp when I heard a low growl. It was a tiger, but it hadn’t seen me. I marked it and then slowly waited for it to go away. Then I saw another one quite far away, and then the one that was right next to me. I’m glad I have an upgraded shotgun.

4. What’s that Mr. Komodo? You can’t climb? So you can’t get me standing on top of my car? Hahaha! Eat shotgun!

5. Ok… so I need cassowary skins for whatever picky upgrade item I need next? Ok. There’s an island with them. Cool. Oh look, wild dogs. I hate wild dogs. Oh God it’s biting me. Ha, got you. I have no health. Oooh, the cassowary is big and AHH! It head-butted me… why am I dead?

6. Fine! Go back to the island with the cassowaries. Sniper one. Sniper two. Collect skins. Why are the others slowly walking towards me? It’s probably nothing. I’ll go and find the collectable thingies on this tiny island. Hmm… the cassowaries are following me. Why do I feel like I’m being hunted. I’ll jump up here and quickly mark them all so I know where they are. Into the bunker I go, got the letters and some other junk I can see. Hmm… one of the cassowaries is really close now. It’s coming right up to me. Hmm… should I…? Ok. Shotgun time. Blam. OH GOD THEY’RE SWARMING ME! Ahh! I thought these were harmless birds! AHHHH!!!

I’m more afraid of cassowaries now than any other animal.

Haha, the animals are pretty vicious. I know the tigers got to me a couple times. Also, who knew that Komodo Dragons were so damned sneaky?

I remembered the first time I encountered an alligator...feth me, I didn't see that coming...
