I'm still playing Rift.
I don't believe you. Why not? I am. Do you want me to send you my Rift cards? I'm very nearly almost level 30, too. The character I'm playing is named Siggie because I was too lazy to think of something clever and the moronotards I went to school with used to call me that. I'm a dorf. I used to have a cat named that. It was short for Sieglinde, though.

I've been playing way too much Fire Emblem: Awakening. Usually I only play my DS during a trip to NJ (which is why I bought it), but I've been home for over a week and I am still playing it. That means something. I don't know what. But surely it is meaningful.
Also dicking around with SWTOR's housing (I LIEK DECORATING FAKE HOUSES). Poked at Pokemon X and it was fun but I can't play that AND FE at the same time, so it's waiting patiently for me to finish being weirdly hyperfocused on Fire Emblem so I can be weirdly hyperfocused on catching all the Pokemons (this is my first one, by the way) instead.

I used to have a cat named that. It was short for Sieglinde, though. Sieglinde is just Signe anyway only with a silly spelling. I don't think I would have preferred that to Siggie in school. I hated my name in all forms. If I could rename myself I would be known as ✨ 💫 🌟 ♫ ♥ ☺. Good name for a kitty though! I was messing a little bit with Rift housing, too. There is just so much stuff. They give you a little house in the beginning which is nice and you can find all sorts of stuff for it everywhere... fishing, mob drops, etc. Evidently, you can find different styles of housing items depending on the area you fish in. There are about a million areas. I have already fished up eight weeping willow trees. They're huge and my plot is tiny. I have no place to put all this shit. It's overwhelming. Someone gave me this great big plot but it's all rooms and stone floors and stuff and hardly any ground to put trees and plants on. Gah! If anyone here plays Rift, I will send you lots of trees and other stuff like signs and lamps. My bank is full and I just can't seem to throw away trees. I don't really want to play AH in this game, either.

I've been rotating through a bunch the last few weeks. State of Decay at lunch, which I'm really enjoying. Football Manager 2014 and Hex, of course. I've gotten back into Battlefield 4 and just popped for the latest expansion though I've only played 2 maps on it - one of which might as well have been copy-pasta'ed from one of the Medal of Honor games that flopped so badly recently. Dicking around with the Arche Age beta when they have weekends and poked my head into Fez just enough to remember how much I don't like platformers.

Yeah, the ArcheAge beta #whatever starts today, 10 pdt, so I'm likely to play a bit of that. This event lasts until Wednesday.

Im trying to see what people are seeing in Archeage and why it's up on top sellers on Steam.
I log into the game and am immediately assailed by WoW quest markers and fedex / kill quests. Combat system lacks any interesting gimmicks thus far; and a boss npc for quest camped by 30 beta goers.

Played a bunch of Fallout: New Vegas. Got bored around level 25-26 and haven't been back. This brand of Fallout doesn't age that well, IMO, and it's hard to ignore the Obsidian brand warts once the brand new shine is off. I think I prefer the Washington setting of plain ole Fallout 3. I started up a Dragon Age 2 play through. The texture pack helps. I'm going for a mage/sarcasta-Hawke. I'm not sure who the romance partner will be, perhaps enough time has passed for another go at Merrill. I don't remember the combat controls being this bad, but they are. I may finish this, not sure. I like knowing that I don't have to for DA3. Also playing FFXIV. This is a good MMO for the most part. The leveling group content is just the right length and possibly just a tad too easy. But then again, I'm mostly playing with people that know this game really well and not just random newbs. The main story gates a lot of stuff and in places feels like the Super Bowl of Fetch Quests. At least you only have to do it once . Game is charming and not nearly as grindy as FFXI was. I may stick around for a bit here, but who knows. The community will probably keep me around longer; they're a nice bunch of people.

1 million (hence +2M% CpS). It scales logarithmically with number of cookies forfeited.
Here I thought I was doing well with my 700,000 chips. And if you reset right now, you'd have 1.33 million chips. That's double the sadness, double the panda.

I restarted Secret World the other night as a Templar. It was...ok.
I just get really tired of the "there are packs of 3-4 bad guys in every six paces who respawn constantly" thing in all MMOs. Kills my immersion completely.

The bee requires suspension of disbelief, but is forgettable. The little packs of monsters standing around everywhere aren't.

So I gave Kerbal Space Program another go a couple of weeks ago, and this time, with the aid of some YouTube and wiki tutorials it all started to click. It's got potential to end up being an amazing game and the relationship between the community & the developers is great. I'm terrible at it but completely hooked. It's also often quite pretty to look at, and highly moddable. http://imgur.com/a/W7LUW

The WoW aspects are what are making it difficult for me to play, although I'd say it reminds me much more of Rift than WoW. Anyway, the draw is the sandbox world, the housing, crafting, seafaring, farming (as in taking care of your farm), extremely customizable class system, and ultimately factionless open PvP. None of those things can be found in WoW or the clones in that capacity, but with all that said if that is enough to make it interesting in 2014 is up to you and your level of burnout. To me, the theme park part is harder to swallow than I thought, and the "labor point" insanity keeps bugging me.

Right now, at this very moment in time, mostly, I'm playing Fable 2 because I never did before. Okay. How do I get un-fat?

Recently upgraded my gfx card, so bought a few new'ish FPS games. Of that batch I'm currently playing Wolfenstien New Order. Very impressed indeed, even the setting and storyline is great. A little Diablo 3 seasonal ladder too, with a crusader. Defiance MMOG is almost played out, but was jolly good fun for a while.

Been checking out the various early-access df-inspired stuff (SpaceBase DF-9, Gnomoria, Timber and Stone, Stonehearth, Clockwork Empires, etc). No huge breakthroughs, but various small improvements in most. Poking at Factorio today. Dangerous.

Eat celery. Trust me. The game assigns some kind of negative numerical value to it that subtracts from your weight.
Personally, I thought being fat in that game was hilarious. I really liked Fable 2, it's a shame 3 was so bad.
Celery is an excellent delivery vehicle for many different dips and spreads.

Okay. I'll do it! I wouldn't mind so much but I'm finding it hard to push past people in doorways. I didn't even notice until people started commenting. By then, considering my make-up, I looked like Captain Spaulding.

So what you're saying is you like onions and/or carrots. Celery is a non thing. You never like the celery, you like the dip you're using the celery to spoon into your mouth.

Celery is a flavour enhancer, a bit like salt. I dislike raw celery quite a lot (but I love celeriac, even raw, makes a great remoulade/coleslaw) but stocks, soups, casseroles etc, all benefit greatly from a bit of it cooked in.

You just white-knighted celery.
Though you may be right. Stop trying to be right.

He's right.
I will sign a pledge on Twitter about the usefulness of celery in soups and stews.

I like celery in stir-fry to add a little crunch or as a buffalo sauce delivery mechanism.

I finally got enough into AC: Black Flag that I'm committed to finishing it. I dunno what it is though, AC missions never really activate my gamer OCD--I'm perfectly happy just finishing a story mission and moving on even if I didn't air assassinate a guy or sabotage two bells or whatever. But I do like to completely get all the stuff at a given location, at least.

Celery dipped in bleu cheese completes buffalo wing nirvana.
Some freaks dip the wings in the cheese. That's heinous. It's for the celery. I often judge a wing place by whether they give attention to the celery. Give me nice vibrant crispy stalks and I'm happy. You can tell the celery haters when you get little limp yellow sadnesses instead.

If you stand limp celery in some water for 30-60 mins it often springs right up and gets all crunchy again. I'll stop derailing now. Still playing Kerbal Space Program. I have soooo many mods installed.
