That's good, then. I'm happy for you. So tell us what's been going on lately, if you don't mind. I'm genuinely interested in your recent gaming experiences, if any.
In and out of gaming....some MMO shit here and there. I had deep love affairs with City of Heroes (I am a comics nerd more than I am any other kind of nerd), followed by Guild Wars 1 PVP addiction. \
Guild Wars 1 had, and maybe still has, the best fantasy combat system I've ever encountered whether single or multiplayer. Guild Wars 2 is absolute trash...end of story. WoW is also a place that I spent a...time...in....it is also trash.
Some PS2 Jrpg nonsense.....the only thing good in that mess was FFXII and it's Gambit system....truly brilliant.
Tried to play the IE games but hated the RTwP. Playing Dragon Age: Origins currently in hopes of finding inspiration to play those older games....but DA:O seems more like KOTOR to me than BG or IWD or Pillows of Inanity. Soo....I don't know....I'll probably keep trying to like those games because I love the art and style of them. And I especially love the wonky, kind of arbitrary, 2nd edition rule-set....for all its flaws.
I got into this site....like so many others because of the new-wave of (mostly shitty) isometric turn-based games. Discovered around the new year when I was playing Wasteland 2 and looking for other similar games.
I love the Shadowrun games because I think they nailed the atmosphere from when I used to play Shadowrun PnP.....the combat and graphics are basic but perfectly serviceable (yes the combat could be much more...I know). I just love that RPG universe....always have.
Anyway....I could go on and on.
I think we're living in a great time for games.....especially RPGs....there are just so many options out there.
I think that's what old-fags have the hardest time with.
For example. Here is my current play-list (meaning I play all of these games for at last a few hours every week):
Battle Academy 1 & 2
Warhammer 40K: Sanctus Reach
Warbanners
Tales of Maj' Eyal
The Forest
Tales of Grimrock 2
Dragon Age: Origins
And I have probably over 100 games on my "to-play" list.
None of them involve going back more than 20 years.
