What game are you wasting time on?

[Gragt]

Finished Halo on Legendary. I'll need a week to get over it.

 

[RedScum]

Started playing Dark Messiah of Might & Magic.

Cant. Stop. Kicking. Things.

 

[RK47]

Yeah that game got kinda old if you abuse kicking all the fucking time.
I'm really doing nothing but bloodbowling with Jaedar nightly. I didn't think BB games would take that long but since one turn averages around 2-3 mins each and each player takes 16 turns per game.

Yeah, no more than one game a night probably.
I like the leveling up stats from the players and injury carry over from one game to another feature.
Makes injuring opponents feel more gratifying than touchdowns.

Pretty much 20 years since I last played it, I'm replaying Alone in the Dark. I expected to get hit on the head by the age of the game but instead find that it aged rather well. The painted backgrounds look good and the 3D characters may look old but they blend well with the scenery. Even the controls, despite being rough, still feel good. Now I remember being a scared teenager afraid of windows during the night …

I got burned out on AGEOD's Civil War and DayZ is on a shitty patch so I've turned to Skyrim to numb my brain.

If you ever become un-burned out, would you be interested in a PBEM game?

 

[Mebber]

Right now i'm playing Arcanum and Homeworld Cataclysm.

 

[Gragt]

I'm playing the GOG release of Alone in the Dark (pretty much at the end now; my memory served me well and only now I discovered I could avoid the fight in the dining room by putting the pot of human flesh on the table!) and it appears to be the later CD version from when the games were released bundled together as a trilogy, or available separately. The difference with the original CD release that I played back in the day is minimal but I somehow prefer it: it doesn't have any voice acting for the various books and letters you can find in Derceto, but instead had voice acting for Emily and Carnby's introductions as well as Jeremy's letter in the piano as 3 separate tracks on the CD. Now I wouldn't mind much but the acting for this release ranges from decent to atrocious and sometimes veers into the ridiculous, and I'd rather read these in silence like I used to. Also the acting on the three tracks of the old version was much better.

Ah well, it seems that this one will be hard to find. Unfortunately the CD didn't belong to me but a friend, whom I avoided for more than 10 years now and probably happily lost it. Bah, at least I found his Starcraft key I had written on a paper some 15 years ago, registered it on Blizzard's website and got it tied to my account as well as Brood Wars; he probably doesn't care anymore and never tried to register it himself but I still feel smug about it.

Finish the first game of Kamidori God Capture Alchemy Meister, ie one route of it. The new game+ will be the second route, with upped the difficulty.

Sure, just don't expect competence! I'll send you a PM whenever I'm up for it

 

[felipepepe]

Ragequitted again on KoTC, every time I try to play it again I get locked inside the Fort with 1hp and no heals... I love the games fidelity to D&D, but the encounter/dungeon design is really lacking, having to farm money to buy healing wands for the FIRST fucking dungeon is retarded.

I've never heard of Alone in the Dark having different versions of voice acting. Got a source for this?

 

[Gragt]

I tried to find that but I didn't. However I know for sure that this existed. I even recorded the audio tracks on a tape and even included these 3 voice tracks in it.

Edit: now if only I could find it because it seems to be as rare as truth in a political speech. I should have robbed my friend before I decided to not associate with him anymore.

Awesome! And don't worry about any lack of competence, I'll show that in spades.

I have a CD version of AITD lying around somewhere. PM me sometime tomorrow evening to remind me and I'll look and see which one it is.

 

[BLOBERT]

BROS COMPULSIVELY PLAYING WARBAND BUT MUST STOP SOON

LOLLOLOL MY BROKE ASS WIFE COULD ONLY AFFORD A TINY TV AND NOW SHE IS ON MEDS FOR PANIC ATTACKS LOLLOLLOL

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

Blobert, you are truly a BRO among men.

 

[JudasIscariot]

Still working on mastering King of Dragon Pass. I found that by picking "when so-and-so made the first pot..." as a major event for your tribe helps out a LOT when it comes to making tons of goods for trading, gifts, sacrifices, fortifications, establishing trade routes, extra food in case of emergency, and on and on :D. I once managed to have so many trade routes that the game told me in a roundabout way that I have too many :D

 

[Deuce Traveler]

I just moved and haven't been able to touch my video games. Of those I do have, I'm trying to finish the awesome and fan-made Wing Commander Saga, the decent indie game Frayed Knights, and also attacking Might and Magic 2. On the dark side of things, I'm going through Slave Maker 3.3.01. Think Princess Maker 2 with adult females.

 

[markec]

Just recently got hooked on League of Legends, also playing Guild Wars 2 and a few rounds per day of Blacklight Retribution.

 

[Jaesun]

I finally waited till all the Fallout NV DLC's were done. I fucking HATE the shitty fucking Fallout 3 engine, but... Finally starting Dead Money and will move to the other 3.

And this time siding with Mr. House (last time I played, I sided with Yes Man.) I wasn't happy with that :/

 

[procrastinator]

Click-click-clicked my way through Divinity 2 with Flames of Vengeance. Original game got boring, like, very fast, but FoV was quite entertaining. It didn't have anything new to offer, but somehow those silly little quests worked really well for me. Dunno, maybe I just like cities. Oh, and the dragon parts were awful in both games.

 

[Ivar the Boner]

God fucking dammit... finally finished Pool of Radiance yesterday, exported my party to Curse of the Azure Bonds played around for couple of hours and then I realised that almost half of my warrior HP's disappeared, I'v read that some Girdle of Bullshit he had is bugged in dos version and it fucks up health points and statistic (fucker had 99 Charisma) and I have to start again because there is nothing that can be done about it. This fucking sucks since I already had to restart Pool of Radiance once because I'v messed up ghost of Martinez encounter in Sokal Keep... well, tough luck.

 

[Psquit]

Neverwinter nights 2, act 1 was awful, act 2 so far its "fun" but pretty meh.

 

[Carrion]

Been playing New Vegas (third playthrough overall, first time with all the DLC), the FIFA 13 demo (feels good, and I expect the full version to be even better) and PES 6 (waiting for FIFA 13 to come out). New Vegas has taken away the biggest chunk of my time since I've tried to do almost everything in the game, excluding a few factions (taking the NCR route this time). Didn't like Honest Hearts that much, but Dead Money and OWB were pretty damn good. I'll still have to finish Lonesome Road and a bunch of side quests, but I'm almost done.

 

[Erebus]

I've reached the Cradle mission in Thief 3. The lighting is going to give me a freaking seizure.
