I just got skullgirls and warhammer space marine. Not going to install warhammer until i finish this drawing though. My deadline is coming up fast.

I need to play dawn of war again, I liked the game but the bugs annoyed me and that one mission where you killed the librarian issdor, took an eternity because you had to kill EVERY enemy unit, and the ai was the type that hid its men in tiny corners of the map ><

At the moment I'm playing mass effect 2, love the game. Still debating which I like the most but 2 is certainly the one I've played the most.

Next I'm looking at TOR I think; have to finish my smuggler eventually

I need to play dawn of war again

Dark Crusade (fully patched) + Dawn of Skirmish Pro.  You won't regret it.

Ultimate Apocalypse mod for Soulstorm when you want to make the galaxy burn.

Awesome! I need to download it, still stuck with the vanilla version where the only uncrioning artillery was the basilisk. Particularly broken was the damn whirlwind

I loved dark crusade, it was far better than soulstorm

I just picked up Neverwinter again.

So like 5 months ago there was this super expensive package you could buy. It gave you a mount and a ton of in game currency but this big draw was that you got access to the drow race, and buying this $200 pack was the ONLY way to get that access.

Log in yesterday and, oh LOOK! Drow is now a race anyone can pick! SCUMMY MOVE PWE. I almost bought that pack in a fit of temporary insanity. Fortunately i decided to buy food that month instead.

Anyway, this game is as good as its ever been. The journey from 1 to 60 is a very nice experience. Not too fast, not too slow and with a difficulty that really ramps up toward the end. The in game method of earning Zen is harsh, as is to be expected of a p2w game.

A pricing example:

One daily quest may reward perhaps 2000 astral diamonds.
1 zen on the zen exchange market costs 425 astral diamonds on average
One 16 slot bag costs 600 Zen
So one 16 slot bag will run you 250,000 astral diamonds.
That translates into 125 daily quests.

Now thats obviously not the whole picture. You can get more diamonds by selling stuff on the auction house and also through crafting. You also get some free diamonds every day by using an in game feature that rewards you for invoking your god. But the time investment required to not spend money and still get the goodies is pretty enormous.

Which is why I recommend this game with a caveat: Play it until 60 then move on. Get in and get out before you give in to the temptation to drop absurd amounts of money on the game.

Also the new ranger class kinda blows. Its not weak or anything its just boring to play, much like any other WoW hunter-esque class that has ever appeared in any mmo.

The new walking dead game is pretty good, only one episode out so far but it's very enjoyable.

Clementine is badass, in addition to adorable at the beginning

I heard that was really good. I also heard The Last Of Us was amazing as well. I can't handle anything scary like that... My nightmares usually get the best of me...

The telltale game is great, season one and two. So is the wolf among us

The last of us is really good too, but there is a little nightmare fuel. I recommend playing them
Either at midnight or during the middle of the day

To put things in perspective of how bad my dreams can be, I had horrible nighmares from the first castle level of super mario 3 and more recently, after watching Attack on Titan, I almost broke my thumb from a nightmare I had from it.

I've gotten nightmares from Jurassic park, (that one scene with the guy gettin pulled in the cage) Diablo, and courage the cowardly dog (raaammseeeess)

So I can relate, but it's still an excellent game, I recommend watching a lets play or fading a novelization of it.

Somehow they developed a game where you have the complete and total desire to keep the little girl safe.

OK, maybe one day I'll grow a pair and try it out.

(courage the cowardly dog was wrong on so many levels in so many episodes  :rollin: )

[GrinningYMIR]

I really think most people will like it


Courage was my favorite show as a kid
However; some of the episodes scared the hell out of me, I looked into it and they had to actually mellow it out in later seasons because of angry parents calling in :shock:

I've just started playing Supreme Commander Forged Alliance.  Loved Supreme Commander 2, curious to see what started it all.

Had a few days off of work, so I picked up Skyrim off of a Steam sale. I've never played an Elder Scrolls game before, so it took a while to get used to some concepts like merchants running out of money. Blocking and one handing seem fairly useless compared to getting the biggest goddamn sword you can get and charging in, so I've been doing that style of play lately. So far, so good.

EDIT: Also, dragons are kind of pussies. I thought they'd be much more difficult to fight, but so far I can almost regen faster than they can blow fire/cold on me and once they land they're fucked. Maybe the later ones get more difficult.
