What the fuck are you playing right now?

[Delirious Nomad]

Birth Of The Federation - the 2nd best 4X.
I didn't touch it since the release, but i just can't play MoO2 anymore.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Started PST, for the first fucking time ever. I lnow nothing about the story, and was surprised when Dak'kon joined.

envy me

 

[burrie]

Consider yourself envied on my part. I never even got Dak'kon on my first playthrough and played through the whole game without such a pivotal character.

Currently going at the first season of Sam and Max. It pretty much seems to be episodic adventure gaming done right, and the whole thing is quite hilarious to boot.

 

[Castanova]

Killing time with Peggle until my vacation. Then once I get back, I'll start Sacred 2.

 

[obediah]

Birth Of The Federation - the 2nd best 4X.

Care to extol it's virtues? I tried it once, but wasn't impressed - perhaps I didn't give it enough of a chance. Have you played the trek mod for SE IV to compare the two?

 

[L'ennui]

Netrek. SET PHASERS TO FUN. That's right, bitches.

That and Armageddon Empires, which is a gem by all accounts.

 

[Dark Matter]

Playing Age of Mythology mutltiplayer. It's been a while, shame you can't find too many players for vanilla AoM.

 

[DraQ]

Started PST, for the first fucking time ever. I lnow nothing about the story, and was surprised when Dak'kon joined.

*envies*

Don't read any spoilers.

 

[deshields538]

Aliens vs Predator 2
Dawn of War 1

 

[meeneque]

Dwarf Fortress (playing it constantly).
Vampire Bloodlines
NFS: Hot Pursuit 2
Thief 3

As for the clicking denizsi mentioned, I stopped playing Arcanum once i got to Tulla and had to step on those stupid signs. Which wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't lost the savegame with it. Gosh!

 

[Delirious Nomad]

Birth Of The Federation

Have you played the trek mod for SE IV to compare the two?

No. It's not so much about the setting, but the gameplay mechanics.

I tried it once, but wasn't impressed - perhaps I didn't give it enough of a chance.

Coming directly from MoO2, I wasn't impresssed either. Mainly because of not being able to design your own ships and the way the science tree is handeled.

Care to extol it's virtues?

I can try.
It gives me something Sword of the stars, Immortals, Galciv 2, MoO3, Civ 4 Expansion 4X and some more wasn't able to deliver:
The urge to keep on playing (rare these days).
You really have to balance your empire with meaningful working gameplay elements.
One example: In peacful times you can shut down orbital weapons to save energy for e.g. industrial production.
In an advanced campiagn I'm having 6 (not more) star systems and it's fun to balance and decide which planet is responsible for science, which for food, for production.

By the way: I'm playing on W-XP with W- XP patches and it runs flawless. No long loading times after turn 200, no crashing ( inconveniences i encountered playing it back in the days).

 

[Serus]

Icewind Dale with HoW expansion, never played it before with HoW installed.

 

[Thrasher]

GF5

Really digging being a shaper puppetmaster with my zoo of creations.

 

[Wilco]

I've been playing around with Arcanum as Half-Orc on my Laptop, but the majority of my gaming time has been spent with Chris Sawyer's Locomotion, Transport Tycoons sequal.

Chris Sawyer = master of addictive 2D isometric gameplay, too bad 2D isn't 'cool' anymore, Locomotion is likely Sawyer's last masterpiece.

 

[NiM82]

Have just been trying "Tomorrow War", now rapidly uninstalling... Worst translation ever, half of the dialogue is missing or in Russian still. Gameplay is pretty lame too, though being ale to fly to planets and land on them seamlessly is a very cool thing.

 

[Sputnik]

Finished Fantasy Wars which was most awesome. Started Jade Empire which seems to be a fun diversion.

Also playing Icewind Dale co-op.

 

[Jaesun]

I have not played a single video game for a week... due to moving.

I wonder what I shall play once I get my gaming computer up and running....

 

[cutterjohn]

Drakensang
Spellforce Platinum
Dark Star One
Evochron Rengades/Legends(for comparative purposes)
X3 Reunion
Two Worlds
Space Empires V
Civilization IV + exp
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chenrobyl

(----! nearly filled the drive(c. 300GB -80GB linux install) on my new notebook, and my desktop is dead ATM... Oh well, notebook is better than old desktop anyways, i7 here I come...)

DS:
Etrian Odysseys
The Dark Spire

Well, I stopped with Evochrons, X3R, SEV & CivIV for now.

Added Mount & Blade vanilla.. kind of getting bogged down with it though ATM...

and then started sinking time into
UFO Aftermath
UFO Aftershock for a feel(buggy as hell)
UFO Afterlight (just to compare play/controls)

...and really started sinking time into Drakensang, although I don't know that I can stand to persevere to the end given the insipidly dull quests.

Down to dabbling now and then with the rest, although I just re-installed NWN2 + MotB on this machine under Ubuntu x86-64 9.04 tonight + wine, so I may attempt to finally finish the OC with either a warlock or sorceror, although I'm kind of miffed that my 3/4 finished save is also on the machine that is down ATM and it happens to be the only one with internal SATA support... (I'm too lazy to power up the PSU and see if those SATA cables just happen to fit an eSATA port and work... also to even bother looking it up...)


...as always still rocking down with TFC, until Valve does the right thing and releases TFC:S or make TF3 a real TF game...
