So, what're you playing?

[Megrim]

Starbound is like drugs but without the drugs. Er, yea.

I've also picked up the beta for Frozen Endzone, the latest offering from the guys who did Frozen Synapse. I've not had much time to look into it, but has promise.

[Bzalthek]

I've been dicking around in Starbound.  Maybe with this character I'll move off the first planet, but I'm a digging whore, so who knows.

What what? Damn, money keeps falling out of my pocket... anyone want to split this with me?

Borderlands 2, UHV mode.  We seem to be getting better, except for the new guy who doesn't understand cover despite constant beratement.  Or he's a gunzerker.  I acquired some level 55-ish SMGs of fire (Moxxi's!) and corrosion, and a plasmacaster shotgun.  Yes.  It is somehow much better than the traditional SMG plasmacaster.
There was a fourth in our XB party but he was just telling us how awful BL2 is and how great GTAO is.  I have the opposite feel so I might play with him a bit and see if I can find the fun in GTAO.

I had to explain to him that I was sworn off Minecraft due to playing Pixelmod with my son.  It's well done, but I don't want to play MC anymore.

Otherwise, small fragments of Path of Exile and started on Starbound a bit.

[Miasma]

Got my PS4 along with its versions of Assassin's Creed 4 and Need for Speed.  But instead of that I'm currently re-playing Dragon Age Origins so that I can go through all the DLC, I hadn't bought any until two steam sales ago.

[Sky]

Starbound, TOR and Rocksmith 2014. All huge time sinks and I am starved for painting time! Blah.

[schild]

TOR as in The Old Republic? I think we found what you can cut out for painting.

[Signe]

I'm fiddling with a Ranger in Neverwinter right now.  It seems I'm in an empty guild, too!  

[Yegolev]

Did I say Pixelmod?  I meant Pixelmon.

[dusematic]

But in your heart of heart's, you meant Pokemon.

Frozen Endzone? As in, robot Blood Bowl? Is this good? And how different from Blood Bowl (UI aside).

Oh boy, how to best explain this. It's quite different - from the little I've played it is basically a rules tuned / snapshot version of American Football. I'll cover it in more detail once I've actually played a decent amount. From what I've seen so far it is much more tactical (there aren't any random factors as near as I can tell), and plays much faster.

[Yegolev]

But in your heart of heart's, you meant Pokemon.

I'd really rather play actual Pokemon.  I can appreciate all the work that the no-doubt-asian guy put into the mod, but it's just not working for me.

WoW. Got suck(er)ed in by the $10 for MoP deal. Started a new warlock on a new server on Horde (my mains are mostly alliance). Haven't gotten to the new content yet, but am impressed by how easy it is to level up via dungeons/bgs.

It's awesome to be able to buy a complete set of greens to make Cata dungeons viable at 80, because I'm so sick of TBC  dungeons.

I'm not much of a WoW fan, but felt that MoP was worth the cost.  Even if you spend a few weeks in the game putzing around, it's a pretty good value for any MMO fan.

SMTIV gets a lot easier once you get out of the initial area. Though you can still die to random groups of enemies if you get lazy.

At one point I fought a boss who immediately killed 3 of my guys. However my 4th guy was immune to gun attacks and reflected lightning, and the boss only used those two things, so that one lucky SOB slowly whittled him down and won a war of attrition. Good times.

[Rendakor]

You guys are going to make me go find SMTIV for a NG+ playthrough, despite having a large backlog.

[Yegolev]

I have a large frontlog.

[Paelos]

And I have a large yule log. Merry Christmas, fuckers.

[Bzalthek]

My log clogged the toilet.  Merry Christmas, as well!

[Sky]

I split my log.

[Signe]

I am logless.

[Soulflame]

This is getting exponentially worse.

[jakonovski]

Hey guys, it's Friday and you're on the internet making puns.

Log out.

[Paelos]

I made mine yesterday, TYVM.

[Jeff Kelly]

I've played through Zelda: a link between worlds. It's a great callback to ALTTP and has probably the best 3D effects of any 3DS game.

The only way it could be more fan service though was if Nintendo offered a free blowjob with every purchase. It's pretty much exploiting the nostalgia of their fan base, even though it's a great game.

[jakonovski]

Beat Saints Row IV today, took me 21 hours by playing side missions until I got bored, then powering through the story. It was great, one of the most impressive games I've experienced lately, despite the low budget showing through the seams every now and then. Just goes to reaffirm my suspicion that there's nothing stopping modern games from being incredible, it's just that the industry as a whole is creatively bankrupt.

[schild]

Tough to call the industry creatively bankrupt when you just finished a game that had dildo bats in it.

[jakonovski]

Please, it was upgraded to a tentacle bat.

[rk47]

Enjoyed my Crusader King 2 Map painting.
I don't know why, I hate MMORPGs due to the samey gameplay after months of grinding.
CK2 is still the same decision making dynasty sim with battles revolving around stack of numbers, but I'm still addicted in doing the usual count>duchy>king>emperor playthrough all the same.

Messed around with Cherson in Old Gods, now King of Tauricia after surviving a satanic daughter who murdered her brilliant brother before she even reached adulthood.

I kind of love things that are penis shaped but don't do what penises are supposed to do.  Smacking some guy around with a penis is very satisfying, even if it is just in a game.  If I were to ever actually kill a man, I would try and do it with something shaped like a penis.

[Nebu]

I'd say that dildo bats are the true definition of creatively bankrupt.   All they need to do now is digitize a crusifix in a mason jar full of urine. 

[Bzalthek]

And then get off your lawn?

[Nebu]

And then get off your lawn?

Yes, it's as creative as a "you're old" joke.

[Paelos]

You're so old when you were born the Dead Sea was just getting sick!
