I stopped playing the second one because the idiot ball came into play way too often.

Going to grab the hero blade in Marvel heroes....Time to be the daywalker.

BF4. Ranked up from 93 to 96 in an hour thanks to the 100% XP boost weekend, combined with a 200%XP boost of my own

Re-installing the Witcher. Not going to lie, I thought the first one was really boring, despite the praise I kept hearing about its story. But hey, that was a year ago. Maybe it'll be better this time.

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl. For such a dated game, I'm quite impressed.

...and in that way I managed to hit Rank 100 today

Picked up TOR. Rolled a female hero because most male ones look like shiny 20 year olds.

Amazed so far. Feels really good and liking the asthetics.

Will be doing 1 or more of the following tonight:

-'Feeding' in LoL
-Getting scratched up by a witch in L4D2
-Tricking a buddy into playing Heroes of the Storm ("There's a free gun skin unlock for Black Ops III if you play as a support type... for reals")

Played through 'Life is Strange', from start to finish. I've had it for a while, but held off playing through it until the full game was released. I think it's more enjoyable having it all available when you play, instead of having to wait a couple of months for the next episode to be released.

Enjoyed it. Thought the ending was very bittersweet, but good.


The scrolling marquee at the end of Episode 5 thanks the player for playing 'Season 1'. I guess that means they've already got ideas for a follow-up, although I don't know if they're intending to do a direct sequel or just a similar game with different characters.

Yeah, that ending was rough. My grandfather died last December, so that in the ending...combined with that song, Spanish Sahara...

The soundtrack in that game is phenomenal.

One of the developers has indicated on twitter that they want to do a second season, and that it'll most likely feature an entirely new cast but they haven't currently got any plans in place, or something to that effect. They're currently still working on two other games first, Vampyr and Remember Me 2. Life Is Strange 2 is a few years away at least.

I'm torn. On the one hand, they've created a lovely world and cast of characters in Arcadia Bay and it'd be a shame to discard all that world building and character development. Maybe they could set it 20 years into the future, and have the player protagonist be Max's child or something.

On the other hand, to continue Max's story might risk cheapening the ending. The main themes of the game are coming of age, friendship, and grief/accepting and moving on from loss. Having Max return for another time traveling adventure would undermine all that, and thats not really what the purpose of her powers was. She wasn't given the power of time travel to save the world, she was given the power so that two old friends could reconnect and spend time with each other before its too late, and so that Chloe would know that she's loved.

A second chance.

Mari of Geek Remix puts it very well.

I hope they set the next one in France, given that they're a French developer.

Two problems. The first is the

The second (and this only comes into play if Max's kid is involved) is the game's ambiguity regarding Max's sexual orientation. Chloe is pretty clearly a lesbian, and there are a lot of players who think Max is the same (but doesn't realize it yet). I'm of the opinion that the game intentionally leaves it up to the player to decide (the locker room question is a hint for that, imo). That doesn't completely remove the possibility of a kid that's genetically descended from her. But it does complicate forming a concensus on her future family life. I suppose if the developers ran with the option you suggest, they could just say that she's a parent who's now unattached, and leave it at that. No mention of former romantic interests, or the gender of those interests.

Of course, they could also just give the power to one of the other characters in the game. Perhaps Victoria gets a chance to help Though I'm not sure how well a lot of the fans would go for that idea... ^^;;

'Remember Me' was set in France. But it didn't particularly feel like it. Of course, the game was set an unspecified number of decades into the future, so that partially explained why the setting was as vague as it was - with the notable exception of Kid Christmas. That name sounds more American than European.


Speaking of which, I hope they do well with 'Remember Me 2'. I played the first one. And while it definitely had potential, it wasn't as good as I thought it could have been. Hopefully they can do a better job the second time. The personalities of the characters in 'Life is Strange', and DontnoD's ability to properly portray those characters, makes me hopeful.


Massive 'Life is Strange' spoiler -

Flitting between Denpa Men 2 for 3DS and Drop Assault for iPhone.
DM is one of those games that is impossible to pick back up if you've forgotten what you're doing. The combat is easy enough but I lost the plot line and ended up restarting out of confusion
It's fun actually travelling around and using wifi signals to collect new heroes though.

Drop Assault is just such a self punishment game.

Eumerin, did you realise theres a secret ending??

Admit it. This was your head canon all along.

I uninstalled it a few days ago, it was getting me nowhere in the end.

Playing through Fire Emblem: Awakening. I got it back at release but my 3DS was stolen, with the game in it! I'm on a trip away from home so it seemed to be a good time to pick it up again.

Solid entry in the series, nothing surprising. I will say that Donnel is a Death God before whom all things wither and turn to dust. The series has always had some insane 1-man army characters, at least before the unlock able difficulty levels but I think this one takes cake.

Crusader Kings 2. My duke and his wife keep having babies. Eight is enough! Stop it, you two.

Picked up Grand Ages : Rome. Despite some minor flaws when it comes to resource managment and such the game, is actually loads of fun. Rigth now I am working on securing enough trade deals and income from said deals. All in the hunt to sate the needs of my social elite

Been playing some Civ 5. Found out Gandhi has War Elephants as his special unit, so I mass produced them just for the sake of having War Elephants.

I also bought Fallout 3 since it is on sale, and WH40K Regicide, so I'm waiting for those to download.

Damn it. People died in Walking Dead that I wanted to keep around. Son of a bitch...

I reinstalled 'Remember Me', and found another reason why the setting doesn't seem particularly French. Nearly all of the signage in the game is in English. And I'm not just referring to notices and things that the player needs to be able to read. English words are everywhere. For instance, one location that the player has to visit on a couple of different occasions is the 'Leaky Brain' bar. Great big neon signs and advertisements can be found displaying it's very English name all throughout the slums of Neo-Paris. And it's hardly unique in that regard.

Calibrated for a majority of English-speaking gamers. Still better than throwing a bunch of random French-sounding words.

I'm currently playing Company of Heroes, that's a great RTS.

System Shock 1: Enhanced Edition. It's mind-blowingly awesome. I cannot remember ever having been so immersed in a game. I stayed up until 2 am today playing it (getting back up at 7 am...). Amazing.

I'm bouncing between Vermintide and Guild Wars 2 (yay new expansion!) for the PC, and Etrian Odyssey 3 on my DS while I'm commuting.

Given that the developer is French, I'd expect that the words would have made a certain amount of sense and not just been picked at random.

As it is, there's a kind of split-personality to it. For instance, a menu displayed as you walk past a restaurant will say something at the top in English (and not necessarily the word menu), and then contain a list of items in French.

Anyone know what this is from? Made me laugh..

One of the battlefields. Probably 4.

Welp, beat walking dead 1. I knew Lee wouldn't make it (did the demo for season 2 a little bit ago). Man, Ben was a piece of crap. Had no problem letting him drop in the bell tower. What a piece of crap. Only good thing he did was his self sacrifice at the end. Didn't realize it would mean Kenny died at the end though. Talk about an emotional game. I feel a stronger sense of loss in this game than watching a character I like bite it (pun intended) in the show.

Just got done with a quick session of Star Wars: The Old Republic. I forgot how cool it was to have cut scenes for the quest stuff. Kind of cool too that your character can talk. Last I left off a couple years ago was level 20 on a juggernaught. I'm starting over again with a Human Jedi Knight on the Republic side this time around. Almost tempted to invest in a subscription again just for some of the perks it gives.
