Haha, just wait till you're on at a weird time and nobody else is heavily attacking anything, or even just wanting a bit of a casual mission for yourself. Pick your faction fighter, fly around to a base well within enemy territory as an infiltrator. Make sure the cannons are alive. Hack one defense gun, the high explosive ground defense variety. Swivel it till you can blow up several other guns within its LOS, leave it, and find another cannon further down the perimeter to repeat the action You can also cap the objectives but do that last since it sends warning messages to the faction.

Well, re-beat MK9. God, Shao Khan is such a douche. Beating him isn't even playing a fighting game...its "stand in a corner with fireballs" as Liu Kang, or "jump, uppercut" as Raiden/anyone else outside of story mode. It's an effort in futility. Threw my controller more than a few times before I beat him.

The final battle in story mode with you facing him as Raiden after the elder gods first assault on him fails is ridiculous, I beat him by constantly teleporting and sweep kicking.

Playing Skyrim, with the Live Another Life mod (an alternate game start, so you don't have to go thruogh the Helgen bit) and have been enjoying it. Starting in different areas has breathed a lot of life into my latest batch of characters. I had one character start with "I was attacked in the wilderness and left for dead" as an origin... I woke up in an unfriendly neighborhood in the Reach with no weapons and no gear (and no spells) and had to outrun ALL the wolves. Now that character wears armor made from wolves, because revenge.

I had a necromancer start off in "A secluded lair", which turned out to be FETHING BLACKREACH. Yes, let's all try Blackreach at level one as a dedicated caster class... I'm amazed I got out of there alive.

I'm digging the mod, is what I'm saying.

Sounds fun.

I'm getting back into Skyrim- I have an Altmer Paladin, with a Paladin spell mod for fancy light magics. I'm specializing in blocking, but dang do I get in over my head with some baddies. The Elemental Blocking perk is baller, though.

Anybody got any recommendations for good hi-def texture packs? I'd like a good overall one, if possible- water effects and stuff are less critical.



On PS2- There are some battles which can last for days. Things get crazy, but yeah, definitely find/shanghai some buddies to play as a dedicated squad of specialists. There's awesome that can happen with training and teamwork.

In Planetside 2, I like to set up my prowler in anchor mode on the cliffs overlooking Howling Pass on Indar, and just blast away for hours using zoom optics. No long range artillery unit? I just made my own.

Nah. Anchor a MAX with dual Pounders and just start lobbing shells over a wall onto a Tower.

Have neither of you discovered the joy of sniping with the engineer's rocket turret? I dunno if it's still as awesome as it was when I was playing, but you get a bucket or two of XP for each sunderer you blow up and I think it did the job in 4-5 hits. Could scare off tanks, take pot shots at hovering or landed fighters...


It was also easier to snipe with than my sniper's rifle too You had to get a direct hit on a dot, or be engaging a dot who was exposed and away from cover.... but tee hee... that was so fun.


Also... get a flash and the fury, I had upgrades on my flash and gun but its fine w/o, and find a big pitched battle. Drive around till you're sitting perpendicular to the main battle lines. Drive along until you're across from the enemy lines, proceed to drive through the enemy positions at full tilt trying to hit as many people as possible. You'll get some kills and confuse the crap out of them If you are good at shooting while you drive you can cover your approach with a curtain of grenade explosions though it makes you a bit more obvious.

The infiltrator can use the wraith module or w/e to make a stealthier approach too, and with the rumble seat, you can have an engineer riding along on the stealth wraith dropping C4 in front of tanks

I never got to try that last one, and all of these things are months old so who knows if they got patched

I really want ps2 to come out for the playstation 4 which has been in the works for ages,

I'm currently going 16-bit crazy. Playing a shed load of MegaDrive and SNES games. Kid Chameleon, Alisia Dragoon, Sonic The Hedgehog and Golden Axe II are vying with Terranigma and Chrono Trigger for my attention.. It's a hard choice to be honest!

I am Currently getting bogged down in several small wars On Rome 2 and it's awesome

You want PS2 for PS4?

Yes. Planet Side 2

Bloodrayne Betrayal.
Mechanically solid, though the last few levels are poorly designed.
Not quite the Bloodrayne game I was hoping for, but its adequate.

Cthuluisspy would be happy to know i'm playing command and conquer 3 on and off with nod.

That's one of my favorite mods, by far. I remember trying the necromancer one for the first time. Now, I had never been to Blackreach before, so my reaction went from "Oh wow, this place is amazing" to "Oh god oh god everything is going to kill me" in about ten seconds. And it was still fun.

The shipwreck start is kinda neat too.

After months of hunting I finally found a reasonably priced copy of Saint's Row. I know it's an older game, but I never finished it the first time but I really enjoyed the sequels so this gives me the full collection.

More planetside 2 last night. I randomly joined a platoon, but they guy running was really good at tactics. We went from less than ten percent of the land to winning with something like 85%. Good times.

Often there are a couple of clans/leagues/units/whatevers per faction per server that organize raids like that, usually good times.

Been playing a lot of Napoleon Total War; installed the Darthmod for it since I haven't tried that one.



Pretty solid, but I have my first re-familiarization game wrapped up as Russia. Was all set to start a game as a faction with a more difficult starting position but I just picked up a Beyond Earth/Starships bundle, so I will probably be playing that.

First major AC: Unity bug. Had to play the entire mission without being able to to move my camera (R-Stick). This means I could use the to .

Still passed it, but just had to climb my heart out. Annoying, to say the least.

Replaying borderlands fir like the 3rd time.

1st time in a solo playthrough though. I 1st played it at my cousin's when we were over there.

Playing as a Soldier. Level 24 just met Tannis.

Also getting into Community Warfare in Mechwarrior online.
Playing mostly inner sphere mechs. Usually Meds and Heavy mix

My LRM Centurion. A Jager, and the freebie Quickdraw are almost always in my roster. Sometimes I'll swap the Cent out for a Raven and grab a assault mech as my 4th

I just finished another alert in PS2. We fought hard, but lost in the end. They guy who was running the platoon was in one of the bigger outfits, and evited every body to join, so I did.

Replaying D3 Reaper of Souls because, as a wizard, you feel like a god when you're killing things left and right.

Or you do it like a boss.

Hardly. Jump, ice or punch, jump over him. Repeat ad nauseam.

To be fair, that's basically what 'skilled' combat amounts to in MK. Even as a person who doesn't play many fighting games, I can tell that it has pretty limited combat, especially with so few 'special' moves per character.

Still addicted to World of Warships. I'm now attempting to get the Rank VI Battleship, the Fuso.

It feels so damn good to instantly destroy a destroyer. Or even destroy them without using the main guns, the secondary armaments are strong enough to do it

But I hate carriers with the fury of a 1000 burning suns.

Only GTA 5 online right, but I did pick up the new Oddward from PS Plus's free games offer.

Been playing the heck out of Breach & Clear, its so simple yet so satisfying and when you put the game on Insane it will prove a hard nut to crack

We finally beat Borderlands 2. I am finally done with that game

Was that the game that was very similar to the earlier 'Rainbow Six' games?

It has similarities but it's a isometric strategy game not a fps. Closer to a mix of jagged alliance and rainbow six than anything else.

I've been playing a lot of Rayman Legends since it's been free on the XBone. I've got to say that I've never played a more beautiful, fun, or pleasing platformer. It's as much of a sensory experience as it is a game, with such great visuals, music and sound effects.
