Started playing Warhammer Quest Saturday and have been having a blast with it. Now I have to debate whether or not to spend 15$ to get the rest of the characters or not.

Started back in on Agarest: Generations of War. Recently got to the third generation. Screwed up my G3 main character.. or well.... I dunno if screwed up is right, I piked the G2 MC's wife such that the G3 MC would be a certain way... and when I got to him it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I think since it's just 1 out of 6 characters I'll get by though. Definitely not going back on my save and regrinding the things that have been done since.

The special attacks continue to be interesting, and I recently managed to have 3 of my characters perform an attack so auspicious that it deserved it's own mini cut-scene. And this was back on tier 2.

Even though you lose the MC and a trio of female characters from each generation, the overall party size has continued to grow as most NPCs that join the party, never leave. Add to this the fact that you can get mannequins that function in battle exactly like the missing characters (have to find an item and they're expensive as all hell), and there's really quite a vast selection of heroes. I shall, of course, make a 5-generation MC hero party in the last generation, at least to see them all in action at once

I've been looking to start Agarest... Must have installed it and uninstalled it so many times now... but never actually ran it.

Been playing Bastion again... this time on PC rather than on the XBOX 360. Also just downloaded Metal Gear Solid 4 last night thanks to some PlayStation reward points. Probably will get in on that this week. Been wanting to try it out proper like for years now.

I think it's a bit grindy but if you like anime-aesthetic stuff and s/t/rpgs it's something to play. There are a few things about it that downshift it away from my list of favorites, but it's not a bad game at all.

I see a lot of people use the Type-88 but I haven't quite worked out it's appeal

Way back, last time I played it the Type 88 seemed to have the best mix of "stats" As in, it was decently accurate enough, with plenty of rounds per second (speed), and it had a pretty large ammo capacity. With all the bells and whistles that can be added on, it makes for a fairly good platform for shootin' up stuff

I might go back and give it a whirl. I ended up running either the M246, the LSAT, or the other magazine fed LMG (not the starting one)

Last time I played BF4 online, I was stayin at my buddy's place, waiting for the army to be done with me, and I kept using the Type 88 because I really, REALLY wanted the M60.... By the time I got it unlocked I was like, "feth it, I've already unlocked so many mods for the type 88 I may as well stick with it a bit longer"

I've put 60+ hours into Warhammer Quest, and would strongly suggest that you do buy the extra characters. They add a whole lot more to the game, as do the dungeon and enemy expansions as well.

It was 10pm last night and I decided to play Dwarf Fortress. I started building a fort in a mountain without any access to a water source nor cave soil to grow crops in. Eventually, I went to a forum asking for tips.

After mentioning a dog farm as a food source (just roll with it), another person mentioned turning dogs into alcohol as a joke. I somehow thought this would work and spent the entire next day today trying to find out how I could turn dogs into alcohol.

Dog distilleries are still a dream of the future, I guess.

I always bring a good number of dogs to my forts, though. Nothing keeps your fort going like a puppy slaughtering industry.

I've been breeding a lot of Pokemon XD Especially with the recent releases of the Gen II and Gen V starters with Hidden Abilities via Mystery Gift/PokeBank, I've been pretty absorbed in chucking out mon with good IV's and egg moves. Being my favorite starter period Sheer Force Feraligator with Dragon Dance and Jolly was at the top of the list EDIT: Though I'm almost as excited about a Contrary Serperior.

Switching between Wolfenstein: New Order and Kantai Collection

Mixing it between Carmageddon reincarnation, which is annoying because the car in that isn't as "weird" as the normal one. Carmageddon splat pack, warband, and waiting for GTA 5 on PC.

I've been playing command and conquer 3 tiberium wars. I have to say it is quite a fun game. I prefer nod in this one. It's more about finesse than brute force and some of the tactics are more exotic or weird. That's not to say you can't spam militia or fanatics though. I'd almost say fanatics are OP but considering the ridiculousness of the mammoth tank late game with railguns i'd reconsider. I feel like nod's best counter to that is obelisk spam with plenty of laser artillery.

It's too bad most command and conquer games ended in a top tier unit that just eliminated everything by itself. Either that or spamming the same unit and having absolutely no diverse unit combos. Talk about lame.

Man i'm so glad rts's have changed to what dawn of war did and the 'wargame' series. Oh and rest in peace THQ. Lord knows it'll take forever before relic releases another dawn of war game for 40k or we get another company of heroes game.

Going through Bastion again. This time on the PC. This is probably the first game I've ever re-played in a while. Normally I'll play a game, finish it, and then rarely do I go back to it.

Got gifted the Valley of the Yetis Dlc for Far Cry 4, and damn.... This sorry mess is buggy as hell! That and well without any real charm. But mowing down fanatics with a Mg42 is still enjoyebal, if a bit dull as the fire figths is very one sided.

'Bout to get my Haduken on!

Re-installed Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online on my PS3 for the billionth time. Gonna play as my main man Ryu as usual.

Then maybe some Bastion before bedtime.

Currently downloading and installing "Elite: Dangerous" so could well be a captain by this evening.

Starting to enjoy Cities:Skyline. Really well made game. Finances have knock-on effect, water physics are modelled well so do not put your sewage output upriver from your water pumps.

And of course, wind power.

Loving the game.

How is that? I remember seeing ads for it but nothing beyond that.

I've mostly been exploring/recovering Nostradamus riddles in AC:Unity. Still not loving the free running controls and countering seems buggy at best, but I'm getting the hang of it. Going to start liberating zones as I buy social clubs.

Speaking as someone who plays a grand total of 1 (one) FPS with any regularity- I want that game. Probably will buy it one of these days to play through.

It seems like good old-fashioned Nazi-killing fun.

Is bad, really bad. But enjoyebal for a few hours spent killing Nazis

Back to MK9, in anticipation of the (is sequel the right word?) next game. Wheeeeeeeee!!!!

Its a very good shooter with a half decent story too. Had more fun playing it than I do with most FPS games.

I think the key thing is that it doesn't take itself seriously, but then has a storyline that it treats with respect. So you've got this really interesting plot, all wrapped up in ridiculous dual-assault-rifle-wielding mayhem. And that's great. Just... great.

World of Warships Closed Beta.

I haven't been this addicted to an online game in a while. It's fun to play with big ships firing big cannons in a environment where 3kms is almost melee range.

I have my eyes set on that juicy Yamato, I want it so bad.

I just logged on to battlelog for the first time in a few months (I've been planning to get back into BF4), and I somehow have 9 gold battlepacks I have no idea how I got them. Nice little suprise.

A friend bought me Payday 2 so I could play with him and some other people. So far it seems interesting. One of my favorite youtubers plays it pretty extensively but it is a lot different doing it myself. You start off pretty dang useless, but after a day or two of power-leveling me I should be set to go (from a game skills point. Player skill is another thing entirely)

I spent a huge chunk of the day playing Apotheon on my PS4. Great art style, and a good metroidvania type game. Hoping to finish it off tomorrow.

Another successful war in Clash of Clans! With the war loot was able to convert 4 more wall pieces from pink to purple. Aside from walls I'm also working on upgrading my Dark Elixir troops. Anything that needs regular Elixir is upgraded. Anything that needs gold (other than walls) is upgraded. This is for Town House 8.

Also put in some more time in Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online. I had an interesting experience today. Usually Sean is my first opponent... this time it was Yang... or Yun... one of them.

About to bust out the space ninja grind that is Warframe. Then maybe some Bastion after that.

I played some of it but the problem is my graphic settings or something were too high and the game was a bit jumpy.

According to USPS, my copy of Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition will be arriving today before 8pm.

If it does, I'll be playing that today.
