Still no dragon wings but Seebo the Great and Merciless, Lord of all he sees, and everything else too! is probably the hittiest gnome bard I've seen to date. The heavy armor is in, now we just need dragon wings and a katana

Just finished Shadows of Mordor last night. Awesome game, and way better than I was expecting it to be. Now I need to find something to tide me over until DA: I is out Friday.
Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition, so far all is well with my somewhat unhinged part of explorers, they had a rather nasty encounter with a massive naga like woman, whom sufferd from delusions of grandure and racial superioity. Witch was ended by a session of swords, haleberd and other sharp/blunt objects equally divided between her and her creepy minions. Now the merry band are batteling ghostly Goblins and Orcs deeper in the mountains, oh and we saved a villiage from the evil of the world and exposed a rather unsetteling plot involving a dying druid and more crazed cultists.
Exposing plots and saving druids? Excellent, sounds fun. I look forward to playing the EE whenever it goes on sale and I tire of the NWN modules/potentially NWN2.

Oh it's great fun and provides a lot of entertainment, granted some of the villains are a bit thick sometimes. But all in all its a great game, and it's already dirt cheap so worth the price.
The comments from the player characters are also great fun, they seem to balance between outright rude and really adds flavour to the game, the combat is also great and flows very well.
EE usually tweaks the classes/kits and includes a lot of interface fixes and stuff. Like running at larger resolutions than 800x600, and I think there may even be some kind of auto loot or like area loot window or something. The older games are ok but the EE seem to have less running issues and such. If original is 5 bucks and ee is 20... i'd probably still buy EE. And the EE games tend to get down to $10 periodically on steam.
I got in trouble the other dayfor yelling "I polished my cockatele for the ribcage slaughter" in the middle of a math exam. I had coffee before hand. Doubleshot, double strength 600 ml.

Because it fixes very many flaws with the original game, it also adds a whole lot of new quests. It also gives you the expansion pack Hearth Of Winter. It also adds TONS of new and wonderfull loot
I won another couple games against very hard A.I. in starcraft 2: heart of the swarm. I'm getting pretty good at this. Actually managed to totally destroy zerg with just stargate units pretty much after i think he failed a rush. It was cool to see oracles waste any light ground units. Pretty sure terran can handle that well esp. with lots of marines but vs zerg it works.
Then against terran i used the plenty of robotics facilities and such, made more bases and had cannons blocking my entrance early on. All in all it worked well.
Gonna see if i can try out other strategies in the future. Guess we'll see.
Tons of wonderful new loot? I never played the original but I likes me some loot!
Playing through the original campaign for NWN I can't seem to fathom why I disliked Aribeth in the past when I played it. She's interesting enough as a character so far. I kind of wish I had saved my persuasive high charisma problem solver gnome for the second campaign though, shadows of undrentide seems to have a lot more non-combat/dialog options. Though I've only tried it a bit.
just finished fairy fencer, and finally played on the Warmachine game that was kickstartered (ive only played the first 2 maps of the campaign so far, but its pretty fun
gonna use my free time for modeling i think, before i go and finish tales of xillia 2

i remember playing a ton of nwn and expansions, but at this point, the only character i can remember is a dwarf monk who may or may not have glitched a few times fighting spellcasters, thus knocking fireballs and the like aside like arrows

GoG should surely have both of those games at some point in the future if you're willing to wait. Personally I found the second one to be a bit of a chore though. Good at the start, but it really wore on. Ah that, and that bloody ghost quest which if you didn't find every ghost in sequence you couldn't talk to the next one (que having to run back through all the previous areas to find the things).
I think the mod thing has something to do with the Executable, something about incompatability
I'm going to get the $8 version, see if I like it, then MAYBE, I'll buy the actual game and the expansion.

Yes very much more loot. So far I have stumbeld across scores of really good swords, hammers, axes, bows, daggers and crossbows alongside armor, mage robes and other things

Well just managed to slog through dragon age 2. Its one of the most lazy repetitive games I have ever played. Combats repetitive environments are repeatedly reused. The smaller more personal story and the tension between the mages and templars could have been great, I could see what they were going for but the game felt so very rushed.
Its done now so I have got it out of the way ready for DA3.
I'm trying to see just how weathered I can make my Viper with her custom chrome paintjob look by taking her through a few more tours through contested Eranin airspace.

Can't see [MOD EDIT - Don't try and work around the expletive filter - thanks! - Alpharius] Can you fix the links?

What game is this? I feel I know as it looks like Star Citizen(Which I bought and havn't played at all) just wanting to make sure.
Also currently added Mark of the Ninja to my now playing list. Been so long since I played it and then dropped it for an unknown reason. Was a really good game as well.

Armies I have: Chaos Space Marines, Tau, Necrons, High Elves
Armies I want:Lizardmen, Warriors Of Chaos, Dark Eldar
Armies I may get: Dark Angels, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts
The links are valid, the hoster just isn't very reliable it seems.
You could try opening the images in a new tab and hitting F5 until they show up.

Elite Dangerous. The ship in question is a Faulcon DeLacy Viper Mark III Heavy Interceptor - usually employed as a police craft, but good for bounty hunting and courier jobs as well, if the relatively short range doesn't bother you. The engine roars like a tiger if revved.
I admit the chrome paintjob may look a bit gaudy, but I couldn't resist the "cylon" style here. ^^
On another note, I purchased "This War of Mine" on Steam today. It looks like a refreshing and quite possibly even a socially valuable departure from the usual wargame, casting you not in the role of a heroic soldier but that of a desperate civilian. What will you do to survive?
Currently playing: Overlord, Overlord: Dark Legends, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Smash Bros 3Ds.
Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
