Speed-leveling alts in SW:TOR while x12 XP lasts for subscribers while also trying to grind some ships on my 2 GSF pilots in the same game.

Also also playing through Dragon Age Inquisition again, but EA (not surprisingly) seems to have gakked the bed with some change to something, as I get a stream of DirectX errors and random crashes in the game now that I did not get previously.

Found an old Doom II disk, which I tried running, both from installation and straight from the disk. Sadly, after hitting 'Play Game' the menu music kept playing, but that was it. The game didn't even show up on task manager.

In other news, I fiddled a bit more on Besiege, and did a couple more skirmishes of the Ultimate Apocalypse mod for Soulstorm. I've deduced that a maxed out Angron (with the 10 bloodthirsters) can easily solo any other top tier unit from any army. Without his daemon armies things are a lot less one sided, but together you can't stop him.

Edit: Got an emulator, so now Doom is working perfectly

Take the wad files from your doom 2 install and run it in Zdoom. Doom is still supported by the mod community now and has it's own engines to improve how doom runs. Go dig into the Cacoawards for some cool new maps to play.

Thanks, I managed to get it working (thanks to ZDoom). I'll have to check out the Cacaowards. In the meantime, I'm having fun with Doom II. Some ammo troubles, but I honestly am having more fun with this than almost any Call of Duty experience I've had.

Recently started up Wildstar and having a blast with it.

Hitting that World of Tanks till the SW battlefront beta.

Gave Valkyria Chronicles a rest today only because it's time for Vermintide's beta AND MY OH MY, IS THIS GAME GREAT!

Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Worth a look so?
Stable online play and system?

During my playtime on the Beta, I found it all to be a very stable game. Requires quite a lot from your pc, though, I believe.

Not even close for me. I've crashed twice the 2 times I reached the "roll for loot", aka, the two times I have actually managed to beat the prologue.

But it's the Beta, it's to be expected this kinda of crap to happen.

Spawncamp Fortress 2: More stickies, sentries, and rockets edition

Stuck on an old desktop. But can the desktop play Dwarf Fortress?

Yes.

All is well.

Finished Dishonoured. saved the girl, sent the tyrant to face his trial and all is relativly well

Every computer can play Dwarf Fortress... Until it can't.

My dad's old laptop can't play Dwarf Fortress. It also is running Windows ME, so it may have been my fault for trying.

Just recorded a game called Astro Avenger. I'm going to cut the footage up into smaller videos and upload them on my Youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/user/Utgarman/videos?&ab_channel=GhazghkullThraka

Also, I just listed to the Portal 2 song Still Alive. It's actually really really good

My love for Valkyria still burns strong and bright.

Finished Chapter 10, 2 classes out of 5 are already Elite and I'm doing my best to train them all before Chapter 11's battle.

Lovely, lovely game.

Enjoying Civ BE Rising Tide, so far its a great expansion that would have been very nice to distinguish the base game from Civ V. Hope the next expansion will lift it to the level of current Civ V, because it is still not on that level. Some minor annoyances but overall enjoying it.

Dawn of War II Retribution is pretty fun. I'm currently doing a Tyranid playthrough. Chaos Uprising was pretty brutal at times, so that's sitting on the shelf until I'm in the mood for it again.

Ugh. I know what you mean. For most of the battles with the large life bars, I had to alternate between attacking, withdrawing, and waiting for everyonr to regenerate for a good 30 minutes every time.
I actually just finished an Ork playthrough on Retribution. Don't worry, it's not as brutal as Chaos Rising.

This doesn't exactly count as play, but as someone who watched little over 10 hours of a guy playing Undertale, well...

Honestly, this was one was the best games. Nay, pieces of art I have ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes upon.

I cried. I cried so damn hard. It was lovely how the streamer would just go quiet at times, he was crying just like I was, and I bet a good many people too. The writting behind the game is just incredible. I honestly didn't believe how good everyone was saying this was, how much the gaming community was hyping this game.

It is, it is so good.

From the gameplay that just challenges game mechanics that we assumed couldn't be changed (it's a turn based RPG with random encounters, very JRPG like Mother... but you can reach the end by NOT killing anyone and yes, the combat is still fun) to an OST that's surreal how good it gets.

Seriously, what an amazing experience.

Praise be to that, it wasn't much fun seeing Thule get swarmed, and die a brutal death in short order. Especially after how amazing he was in the base game. Meanwhile, I appreciate all of the war gear that Retribution has been throwing at me, and the Hive Lord's abilities are pretty nice.

I also picked up CS:GO. Didn't get too far in it, just a couple offline mode matches to get the feel for it. (May or may not have gotten a kick out of the exploding chickens when they die)

TF2 again. Not sure why, all I do is get angry.

Enjoying myself with MKX.

I'm actually giving the Ultima games a shot after seeing the reviews online from some guy called Spoony. I got Ultima IV for free on Good Old Games, so if that's any good, I'll try to get through the rest of the series (yes, even 8 and 9)

I've been playing Prison Architect the past few days since it released from Alpha. I'd been updating my mod for the past few months to catch up with the actual game updates which took my enjoyment out of it a little, made it more of a chore than anything.

But now I've been actually playing, plus I've even joined in helping another mod based on 40K.

Just been terraforming my minecraft area, flattening it, grabbing revealed minerals, and also squaring off my castle, then I will finish the wizards lair, and the road to spawn. I also want to see if I can put in a nether portal, that doesn't conflict with anyone elses.

Finished stumbling my way through Raven sheild. If I had one complaint, it would be that there were not enough chances to be able to snipe. I think I used a sniper rife about twice throughout the entire game. I'm onto rainbow 6 vegas now.

Good man! Those are great games and quite the collection of gems, well not 8 & 9 but still

Thinking about buying the GOG might and Magic bundle.

Playing ESO some more.
