Starting an all-Gandhi game of Civ 5. I want to see how it takes before the world burns.

My sister got me fallout 4 as a gift!

And it even barely runs with all of the settings as low as possible!

But alas, it is a new game, and I cannot yet play as a cowboy hat wearing robot. Not all dreams can come true.

Ya didn't expect it to end like that.

Been switching between Destiny and Season 1 of TTG's The Walking Dead.

I heard all the reviews, but now I'm sold. TellTale Games knows how to make an addicting little experience.

Also,


The game really succeeds in making you feel like you haven't made the right choice, ever. Also, does anyone ever use the silence option?

So glad I was able to pop home lunchtime and start Fallout 4 installing.

Other than that I WAS playing FNV, but I'm so hosed!
Got to the point in Blood Money where I am about to reclaim my brain, but every time I try we end up talking about things we've seen. And my brain just gets caught in a loop talking about launching Bright and his followers into space and getting Helios 1 on-line (the only two things I did of note before starting Blood Money, it seems)

So I really hope I can start playing after work today. Really want to generate a quick character and start roaming the wastes again.

That's not DEAD Money...
That's Old World Blues. Dead Money is the one with boom speakers that makes me want to hurt people.

I don't. Mainly because I never really know how someone is going to interpret the lack of words, so I figure it's better to say something than nothing. I must say, even the Minecraft Story Mode had some parts where you felt useless at finding a good outcome out of it. Nothing as extreme as their Walking Dead series, of course, but it had its moments.

Just got done with a session of Black Ops III.

I'm really loving it. Some reason had to replay a mission that I just did the other day. I had fun with it anyway.

Playing Clash of Clans now... once I get my 2nd Clan War attack out of the way I'll probably get back into Black Ops III.

I had to reset my campaign progress from the start yesterday, but that was from me loading the wrong mission, which reset all saves I had. Anyone else think the campaign starts a little slow, since it's mostly watching other people be the hero and you sit by and watch with your gun aimed at the ground? After the first two missions that ends though, and it definitely picks up, I think.

Yeah I noticed that too but I don't mind.... its like its forging the narrative for me

Started Sleeping Dogs again.

Love that game.

I'm hoping that after United Front finishes with Triad Wars (which is still in beta), they make a sequel (though presumably with different characters).



The last mission I ran last night was the one that introduced Amanda.

Xcom: Enemy Within. Had some bad luck and all but one team member died in a mission. It was mostly a berserker and a mechtoid that did em in. Freaking mechtoid taking cover in my own smokescreen. That was really annoying. I also managed to wipe out EXALT and their main base. I stopped the game right as I was on a supply barge mission (a ship i crashed). My team is decently experienced again after having only about 2 really good vets left (both colonels I think). Keep in mind this is on impossible difficulty. I'm outfitting my guys with titan armor and plasma weaponry now. Trying my best to capture what plasma weaponry I can. I have about 7 light plasma rifles I captured and 2-3 plasma rifles. Everything's going pretty well (research, satellites, engineers, etc.). I should have just about all but one country covered by the end of the month and I've lost 4 countries of the 8 you need to lose to lose the game.

So yeah basically ran into some speed bumps but humanity will win the day provided I don't get bored again and start another game. Xcom: enemy unknown and within tend to switch to easy mode once you go passed 4-5 months in the game. At that point it's more maintenance and even a complete mission loss won't absolutely destroy you.

I have a copy of that game... totally want to play it... I'll probably install it after I finish Black Ops III

The original version, or the Definitive edition? Whichever you've got, have fun with it!


"A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man!"

I just have the regular version.

I just completed Legacy of the Void.

Hoooooleee hell that was cool.

Just finished Black Ops III. Without spoiling anything, the ending was a real mind feth, and I definitely had fun with the game.

The Chaos cybercore had to have been my favorite one, since the nanite swarm and immolation skills were useful throughout the entire campaign.

Finally bought Morrowind on sale at GOG, and surprise surprise, I got the first two Elder Scrolls games along with it! I've heard people tell me it's even better than Skyrim, and since Skyrim is one of my favorite games, I can't wait to see what this is like!

Oooh boy are you in for a treat. However, a quick word- if you're one of those people who can't stand 'old' graphics, get one of the Better Bodies and/or Graphics Enhancement mods for it. There's a ton of good ones out there, and since they've been being worked on for over a decade, they're all pretty nice.

Also- pay attention to things people say and what you write in your journal, and don't be afraid to run if you need to. There's no hand holding in this game- you will find yourself in over your head or lost, and you will need to get back somewhere safe and regroup.

Almsivi and Divine intervention scrolls are teleports to temples, which are always safe- that's never explained too well, so just be aware of that.

Everything else? You're on your own. Have fun!

Still gotta finish the singleplayer campaign but I concur with how cool the Chaos cybercore is. Immolation is my favorite.

I'm about halfway through it. I'm watching the campaign unfold, and I'm having the most odd thoughts. I keep watching the events unfold, and thinking about what the changes will mean to World of StarCraft.

^^;;

Felt like playing Age of Empires 2.

Nope, not the HD Steam edition with African Kingdoms and Forgotten Empires.

The old version.
On CD.

Started playing Mordheim since that game is close to release again. The game finally seems like a solid game (took a freaking year though). It's actually a lot of fun watching your squad of noobs turn slowly more BA. Even the low level henchmen end up getting some good stuff. My henchmen are still like level 0-4 but it's pretty cool the skill unlocks that take money and time to earn. It's a tough game and sometimes it's not always about killing the enemy team as you really need to get some warpstone and you don't plunder the battlefield that much if you win. If you lose things can get really bad. Dead and injured leaders are the worst by far (so you should try to have spare ones just in case). Either of those mean you can't go on a mission till you have a fully recovered leader and the cost to replace either is high and rough. Nothing's worse than having no money to get a new leader and selling stuff to get a new one or waiting till he comes back to fighting shape while a warpstone shipment is asked of you. Sadly no leader means you can't fulfill the warpstone shipment and no shipment after 3 times equals game loss.

The only casualty that my Possessed warband seems to suffer is my Magister, he seems to die EVERY SINGLE GAME. I have taken to hiding him now and using him as a spell caster and even that doesn't work. Last game he suffered the curse of Tzeentch that hit him for 6666 damage and ended up breaking his skull. Stupid spell casters, whats the worst that can happen?

Its come on massively as a game although there are still issues (the AI likes to get stuck in terrain, secondary objectives are nearly impossible to fulfill because the enemy tends to rout before you get a chance to do them, various balance problems...)

Fallout 4 is like a black-hole that's sucking all my gaming time. It's either that, or some random matches of Hearthstone. I don't see this pattern changing any time soon.

My main conclusion is 'Alarak is awesome.'

I'm debating on getting Total War: Rome I or Shogun 2. Got Medieval 2 at home somewhere and don't want to spend to get it again, loved that game though.

Waiting for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided to come out.

Rome 1 and Shogun 2 are some of my favourites!
