Back into Euro Truck Simulator 2 again for a while, finally got around to buying that third garage in my country and hiring another driver. Slowly things are starting to go somewhere.

I still need to start a game. My old coworker told me about and it sounds fun.

Since playing overwatch a bit last couple of months I'm getting back into the hankering for some Multiplayer FPS stuff.

Whats that hot stuff right now? COD Infinite and Modern Warfare remastered I guess?

I just tried Star Wars Battlefront tonight and I couldn't seem to find a game... I just played some stuff against the AI.

I'm about to see if Black Ops III still has some folks on it.

There is also a US variant, if you want your trucks bigger and a landscape more familiar.

It's a fun game though, I had some scrotumdipper scoff at it in the past, but this is one of those games you can play while listening to music or a good podcast. Just sit back, mind the speed limit (or not) and cruise away.

I'm off the chain myself now, running a company with three garages in my own country, slowly making a good income and I've got two, that's right, TWO bobblehead doggies gracing my dashboard!

Battlefield 1!!!!!

Yes ETS is very relaxing, a real turn on, tune out game. I enjoyed it.

Titanfall 2 is out and has a nice single player campaign with some really unique level designs. If you have ever played Mirror's Edge you will get some Deja'vu in some parts.

Multiplayer has been cleaned up nicely and is much smoother now.

I've been playing a lot of Total Annihilation lately. That, and I started up a game of Fallout 2.

Fallout 4 Frost, one of those hard mode survival simulator mods.

Ringing true to my experiences with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Misery, mod developers continue to be unaware of what "fun" gameplay is.

Everyone seems to carry a gun, who'll shoot you with it fine, but when you try and pick it up they have no ammo; ever. You'll fight a half a dozen enemies for no reward - those army crates they were defending: empty. Despite weapon damage being increase animals will take a load of hits, and Ghouls, well someone had the smart idea to only kill them with headshots. ...Headshots by the way being right pain considering the accuracy changes with guns mean you'll be missing at point blank range.

...And god, the lag. Sticking a constant fog effect on the screen when you're outside seems to have something to do with this. On a machine which can run the game at an even 60 with a load of crap running I had this mod dip me down into the single digits at points. The mod's supposed to be set in a Nuclear Winter, but a change up in the weather other than a constant blizzard would'be been nice.

So... Yup, installed the game again to play that for a few hours, and well that's Fallout 4 off my machine again.

Completed the storyline mode in Dragon Quest Builders.

Don't know where I've been, but Telltale's Walking Dead Season 3 Ep. 1 comes out tomorrow. I'll play that for a couple hours I bet.

Also, picked up Rogue Galaxy on sale for $5 and been having a blast. Very Dark Cloud 2

Found my old Battlefield 1942 disc. Time to crash some old planes.

Such a good game. Me and a friend re-installed it last year, it was funny how much graphics have improved since then. I remember such a vivid world "back in the day", but it was strange how empty it feels now.

Yeah, things are a lot more barren then I remember. Still fun, mind you.

Oh, absolutely. I think El-Alamein is my favorite map. Stukas, heavy tanks and suicide jeeps. So much fun.

I just got Borderlands (unfortunately, the only Borderlands that is compatible with my PC--my specs are:

Asus X540LA Laptop
1 TB Hard Disk Drive (partitioned)
Windows 10 Home
4 GB RAM at 1600MHz (102MB Hardware Reserved)
2.20GHz Intel Core i3 5200U (never seen it get above 2.17GHz))

And I love it. I already have 13 hours logged on it. I play as the Bezerker (spelling?),and want to see what DLC you recommend for it. The available DLC is:

The Zombie Island Of Dr. Ned
Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot
The Secret Armory Of General Knoxx
Claptrap's Robot Revolution

So, which DLC should I get?

Knoxx's armory is the best DLC according to most of the community. Zombie Island is pretty fun in later playthroughs due to the normal zombies being actually threatening, plus some if the side quests are fairly funny. Robolution is my personal fave but doesn't always make a lot of sense unless you've played through the other DLCs. Underdome is not so great.

.And still plugging away on "Injustice" on my phone - can understand the 'Pokemon' mentality very clearly now. I never knew there were so many variants of Batman, Superman, etc.

Oh god, I played the IOS Injustice game for a long time, until I couldn't feasibly advance the singleplayer and multiplayer got blocked so all I could do was farm gold by leveling silver characters I got from the challenge characters. It's fun for an IOS game but it does have its limits. A few tips if you keep playing: get the weekly challenge characters, never purchase anything but energy and even then not unless you're addicted, play survivor mode even if you don't have a great team, larger screen size is nice (iPads OP), google what the characters do before you buy a pack, save the special currency you get over time for Killing Joke Joker because he's consistently good with almost any characters, and if the game isn't fun anymore take a break. I may give the game another try.

Thanks. At the moment I have a full stable of Suicide Squad characters. They're fun!

I do well enough on the online challenges to keep me in gear to split down, currently trying to max out the 2 parts of Lexcorp armour I have for my Lex Luthors, and the two parts of League of Assassins gear for my Deathstrokes.

Don't generally buy anything with real money for games like this. If it shuts down or corrupts, I don't like the feeling of money down the drain. I have finished the 'single player story' battles, so can now easily get 20K in 5 battles. I do the daily Survivor every day and can get to round 5 with the same characters every time. It's a great game with some tactical thinking.

But I'm also looking at "Space Wars" on Kickstarter. Although it doesn't look at the moment that they'll fund, I really hope they do. It's a turn-based space combat game where you can use experience to upgrade your officers and get yourself a better ship.

64 hours into Fallout 4. Amazing.

Started Mad Max the other night, I just left Chumbucket's area and am now roaming around Jeet's territory scavenging and murdering and tearing down totems. It's quite a good game but I fear I have already "done" all the stuff, the rest of the game is going to be more collecting things and car combat. That's not really a complaint, just a feeling I have.

Basically, however constantly upgrading your car is pretty cool, and you enter some neat environments.

I am so deeply entrenched in Skyrim Remastered that I scream Fus-Ro-Dah at my girlfriend when she's getting out of the bed in the morning.

Oh yeah? it's not all blasted wasteland?

This game is great, it's really scratching my GorkaMorka itch. :0

It's mainly all blasted wasteland but they make it really interesting with colors/aestethics

Playing Battle of Wesnoth and waiting for Elder Scrolls Online to download.

Crusader Kings 2. Have I mentioned that I hate the devil child event chain? Because I hate it, so much.

So much that I straight up cheated and command killed that kid, because I really, really hate that event chain.

Bimbling around in EvE as an alpha clone and slowly working my way through a bloodless Dishonoured 2 playthrough.

Dishonoured was probably my favorite game from the last gen of console games. Getting the Bloodless, Ghost and No Upgrades achievements in one playthough is the jewel in my gamer's crown.

I'm excited for Dishonoured 2, going to wait a bit though as $80 is a bit steep for me.

Got sucked back into World of tanks this last week. Have enjoyed it so far. I want to finish the missions to get the Stug IV premium over the holiday this week.

Oh and I DL'd Skyrim remaster but my computer can't run it on high graphics so it looks the same.... bummer.

Recently got my wii back after a few years. Picked up something I never bothered to finish. Pikmin 2. It's just amazing and so relaxing.

Skyrim mostly.. lvl 63 and rising.. really need to pick a side.. also need to start a second character to try out some mods.

Tyranny. I should hold off untill I've played a few more hours of it but right now I gotta say: Buy it! Buy it! Omg it's great! Buy it!

Phew, glad I got that out of my system

Darkest dungeon and Pokemon platinum.

With giratina rounding out my lineup, I just need to find someone decent who can use surf and its off to the victory road. No extras, there are more Pokemon games to play.

Darkest dungeon, fun..but stressful. Also just realized after nearly 40 game weeks that blight damage stacks...poor monsters were *melting*.
