Kind of indecisive about what I want to play next, so I loaded up Deus Ex: HR. I really love this style of game. Graphics are a lot worse than I remember, though. Faces look terrible.

I've been playing Dragon Age Inquisition again. Almost made it to the real game yesterday.
Played a little more Persona Q and unlocked the ability to fuse demons. Real Persona starts now?
I didn't get TESO into the rotation. I did accomplish some household tasks, though.

For me it's lately been World of Warships (though the lack of interest in grinding any higher tiers is limiting my playtime in that game) and a few Dominions 4 multiplayer games (some of which are still running).

Huh, weird. I always thought DXHR was visually pretty amazing. Some of the most memorable visuals I've seen in a game, that I can recall anyway.

Picked up Satellite Reign on a whim, so far it's pretty fun. Wish it was turn based though.

RimWorld seems fantastic. I am forcing myself not to get it until it's much more ripe, but it is one of the games I'm looking out for the most. Or would you say it's already more than ready to be enjoyed?

I'd say so. It's got the same problem as Gnomoria and DF and all the others though ; the learning curve is steep as fuck.
Starvation has killed 5 of my colonies and bandits killed the other after I turned Cannibal.

I noticed Party Hard updated today and they might have some of the best patch notes in the industry...
- Showed off Party Hard on the twitch stage at PAX Prime - Thought it would be a great idea to have fake knives that collapse in at PAX. Quickly realized it's a bad idea to run around with realistic looking knives stabbing people. They also bruise. - Thought it'd be a good idea to have a bubble machine at PAX Prime, realized it's a bad idea when I accidentally sprayed a 2ft high layer of bubbles all over PAX 10, 505 games, and Adult Swim's booths. But hey, it was clean! - Thought it'd be a good idea to have a fog machine in our booth. Tested it. Who knew fog machines trigger smoke alarms? (apparently everyone but me!)

Played about an hour of Metal Gear Solid V, which unlocked this morning.
It's gorgeous, runs smooth as silk - 2560 x 1440 on whatever detail settings it was at by default at solid 60fps on a GTX970 - and has oodles of 'wow' factor. But so far it's barely interactive and very crashy. I also don't really care about the story, so I may be not be the target demographic for this.

Playing WoT (as usual) and Pool of Radiance (Thanks, GOG!) for the most part. I patched TESO but haven't actually logged in yet. Finished reading The Hobbit to the kids, and watched the 2nd movie; making my itchy for a good swords and sorcery game. I don't think TESO qualifies as good, but it as the other bits.

Ah, that's where Apoc went I'm digging the new story modpack for minecraft, Blightfall. You should have some decent understanding of the common mods before trying it, but if you know mc mods a bit, it's pretty awesome.

It mostly got rid of the potato face syndrome I was encountering. I'll have to see if there are any more options I missed. I goofed and failed to save the hostages. OOPS.

Bought the DLC pack for Dungeon Travellers 2 that comes with all the characters, mostly because it also comes with a bonus XP item. Except the item has been bugged since launch (fake edit: it got fixed today I guess) which pissed me right off. So I was stuck with 20 new characters all at level 1, and lost interest in the game entirely before catching any of them up. Bleh.
Playing Minecraft using the latest f13 pack but on LAN with the fiance.
Also started Heroes Charge on my phone, which is a fun time-waster that actually has plenty to do for an energy-limited game. Dropped $3 on their store for some extra goodies.

I was working from home yesterday due to contractor management and a dentist appointment, but had a collision with another car on the way to the dentist and in my grief over my car I pretty much just played Diablo 3 most of the day.

This would be a good thread. What games do you play when another person would just drink a whole bottle of bourbon? (Which by the way does not preclude drinking the bottle at the same time.)

Got the itch to play a fantasy/Warlords style of game (and I hate the Heroes of Might and Magic series). I had at least two options in my Steam library already from various bundles and shit - Fallen Enchantress and Warlock: Master of the Arcane. I chose Warlock because fuck Stardock (that is Stardock right?). Man is the UI kind of shitty and obtuse. It's a decent game, however. I'm ending my first game after about 2 hours because I see that I am le fucked. Should I try Enchantress or stick with Warlock?

Haemish; you might want to look at Endless Legends, as I thought it a decent take on the genre, and now and then you can find it pretty cheap on Steam. I enjoyed it more than Warlock (never tried Fallen Enchantress). I'm not a huge fan of the genre, though, so I couldn't say how well they all stack up.
Personally, been playing the new Nobunaga game (well, new to English speakers) and enjoying it a lot despite the very meh combat (which I've decided to just let the AI deal with), but I've been a fan of the Nobunaga series (and the Romance series) for awhile, even though the last Nobunaga game I played was the SNES one.

Mostly Minecraft.
My latest thing seems to be log in to my Realm, pick a direction, go in that direction and keep going till I come across a village spawn. Then, I must spruce up the whole village, beautifying and adding buildings and extentions and landscaping etc. Then I pick another direction and do the same thing. I don't ever expect to go back/find the villages again. I just want to brighten their weird little Testificate lives. I am a benevolent, if style-pushy god.

Srsly. When I start a game that has mods available, sometimes I peruse the mods before I even start the game. I'm hooked on addons. And a game like Minecraft gags for mods.

I haven't tried Fallen Enchantress yet, so I can't say on that front. Warlock provided a lot of fun for me though. Endless Legends is also good.

Worlds of Magic is still rough around the edges, but it gives the MoM feel for sure. If you can get it on sale...

I'm waiting on Endless Legend to see if it gets down in my "can't resist" price range, probably around Christmas. Worlds of Magic looks cool but also needs a significant price drop.

Yeah, don't spend more than $15 on it unless it gets another big patch or two.

Fallen Enchantress, from what I played, wasn't awful, but it wasn't really mind blowing. I liked Warlock more, but they were both pretty OK. FE was more micro heavy (while Warlock was more focused on massive empires and controlling entire worlds), but also super janky, don't know if they ever patched it but it was one of those games that always felt like it was moments away from crashing.

I don't feel ripped off by Warlock, it was ok. I think the biggest problem with FE (other than the obvious Brad control issues) is that FFH2 was just so good, we know Kael can do much better. By himself.

I tried Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes (apparently it wasn't the original game but the standalone expansion). I'm not even sure WTF this is. It's not terrible, but I played it twice and can't say I liked it at all. The interface was confusing, there was so much shit it threw at you but it all felt like complexity for complexity's sake rather than being an organic part of the game. The artwork was very meh. Uninstalled.

After trying Nobunaga Ambition for 113 minutes and not getting it, I got my refund. Torrented it, try to find the fun some more before the special sale price is over. Finally understood it after a weekend's worth of time. Bought it the next day. Basically a combination of Crusader Kings II and Total War set in Feudal Japan puts most Grand Strategy to shame. If only the GUI is more intuitive, it'd be a real winner. Projecting at least 200 hours on it. The Photo Importer is amazing.
