So, what're you playing?

[Yegolev]

Back to Pokemon: Soul Silver, trying to level some water types so I can get past some fire types.  For once, I wasn't OCD enough for a game.  Sheesh.

A little Path of Exile, a little Dark Souls.

Started Devil May Cry 4 this past weekend.  You can really smell the 2008-era Cell programming.

[Fabricated]

Some Path of Exile (bit less since I got into cruel~ I'm kinda grinding for skill gems at this point before trying a ranged build), XCOM since adding the toolbox mod seems to have unlocked a shitload of maps I never ever got before, Torchlight 2 a bit, little SWTOR actually.

[Signe]

I'm still playing The Secret World.  I've become obsessed with their quests.  I really didn't think I'd play MMORPG type games again.  Maybe it's the chainsaw.  I've got a beta key for that Defiance game.  It might be an MMO but there's no RPG to cause me to lose my will to live.  Also, tossing in some console fighting games and FPS'.  Would still be trying to play Far Cry 3 if my nephew hadn't nicked it.  My biggest problem is I don't play long enough to get much done... the mind, she wanders.

[Fabricated]

I like the Secret World- it deserves continued existence but I'm kinda bumbling through it since I don't really get the mechanics. It feels weird after playing stuff like WoW/Rift/SWTOR, so I struggle to ditch that mindset when playing it.

[Merusk]

Hopping on the MW:O and WoT when I have time for games.  I like the quick in and out nature of matches.  If I get a long stretch I'll hop on ST:O and do a mission or two.  I'm nearly the 3rd Commander grade (L22) but that only seems to be Saturday and Sunday mornings of late.

Been thinking of playing another Civ5 or Xcom campaign, but I just don't have the time to dedicate to it.   

I'm beginning to think I'm just done with games in general.

[Ironwood]

Minecraft has got me at last.

Run.

Save yourself.

If you actually do somehow decide to do a new X-Com game, hold off for a while, since a very major (and long overdue) bugfix patch is in the works.

[Yegolev]

Good to know.  My base is likely to die from poor planning, so I will postpone any restart until the patch.

[Thrawn]

Dwarf Fortress is starting to call to me again...

[Lantyssa]

Me, too.  I'm trying to resist the pull, but I know I'll give in sooner or later.

[Strazos]

And when you do give in, you're going to chronicle your exploits for the rest of us (who cannot figure the game out) to read, right? 

[Bzalthek]

Hopefully.  I, too, cannot play this game.  Even the cobbled together graphical mod never works and ascii gives me hives.

[Sjofn]

Perhaps those for whom Dwarf Fortress is too TOO, Gnomoria would be of interest? It's still in alpha, but gets updated all the time, etc. I've heard nice things about it, although I haven't played it myself because I know it would eat my very soul and I want to wait for a few more systems to get ironed out before I allow that to happen. :P

[Bzalthek]

Wait, I have it upon good authority that you do not, in fact, have a soul to begin with.

[Morat20]

I want to love Dwarf Fortress. But it turns out I simply can't seem to make the mental jump to "get" it in the "play" style.

I get the whole "i'll get to the GUI when the game is finished" part, but the lack of a decent interface just shitcans my ability to play it. Tiles, ascii, doesn't matter. It's just a vast mat of confusing.

OTOH, perhaps EA should have just licensed his engine and tossed a front end on it. :) Would have worked better than Sim City.

I played a whole lot of Last Remnant this week after picking it up for like 3 euros on a sale. Pretty interesting combat system, though the story (and the protagonist) is kinda facepalm-worthy.

e: after doing a search on the f13 forums about this game, I wonder if I should apply for membership in the Yegolev&Ard Game Club.  

[Maledict]

I love Last Remnant. One of the few JRPGs I've actually enjoyed and completed, and that's entirely due to the battle system and optional content which is top notch.

Funny really - when I look at the JRPGs I've completed, (Baiten Kaitos, Last Remnant, Ff13 + ff132, Xenoblade), its almost entirely the Attlee system that carries the game. Only Baiten Kaitos had a good storyline to go with its system, and Xenoblades battle system wasn't actually that amazing but the world design was so spectacular it was compelling.

I kind of liked Last Remnant but never went beyond the demo due to the buggy software (mostly not being able to use wireless xbox controiller when I have n52te installed  which only happened with Last Remnant )

The story honestly never gets much better, but some of the supporting characters are worth playing the game for, in my opinion.  I've talked this game to death anyhow already, and my opinions are suspect at best.

[Bann]

Godhand. Feels like the best 10 bucks I've spent in awhile.

[Rasix]

Ahh, stop talking about Dwarf Fortress.  I'll waste at least 2 evenings of my time and that's even if I just say "nah" after getting it working like I want.

I need to start playing something again after this vacation.  I was actually pondering playing WoW on my ride home from the grocery store.  That's not good.

[Ingmar]

SWTOR is doing double XP weekends til Makeb comes out.

[Ironwood]

Yeah, I noticed that.  Alas, due to Elena having a minecraft addiction, I didn't get to play it much.  On the upside, diamonds.

[Yegolev]

I'm partway to organizing a club for parents whose children won't get off Minecraft.

Dishonored, Borderlands2.  Small progress in both.  I now have 43 golden keys in BL2.

Pokemon Soul Silver, and I decided I finally needed to look up some information.  I determined that I need to get my dunsparce out of daycare, if I can find the daycare again.  I also determined that there is a lot I don't understand about this game.

I've learned where Tyler Perry's house is.

[Ironwood]

It's worse than that mate :  She likes watching, so she won't let ME stop playing.

I swear to God, I dreamed bricks last night.  Bricks, blocks and magma.

Sigh.  Don't ever breed, chaps, it ruins your life.

[Khaldun]

When I set up a LAN Minecraft with my 12-year old, she spends most of the game bossing me around. "Don't do that, Dad!" "Don't you know you can do that, Dad?" "No, this is the best way to excavate for diamonds, Dad!" Thank god she doesn't like to fiddle with redstone circuitry or I'd be proper fucked.

This is not an isolated phenomenon.  Is she playing on multiple devices?  My son has a friend that runs a MC server, and he's constantly asking me to install mods for him on his laptop, as well as occasionally claiming the big TV so he can play on Xbox.  I think he might have gotten it on my wife's iPhone.  It's an epidemic.

It could be worse I suppose.  Yesterday I was forced into playing co-op Pikmin 2.

[murdoc]

Picked up Farcry 3 and played some of it over the weekend. I really need to quit buying games until I finish one.

Farcry is pretty great so far - have absolutely no interest in the story, instead spent most of my time hunting animals to craft so I could carry more guns and stuff and then I discovered jeeps and Pirates attempting to blockade me and spent too much time on island drag races.

[Paelos]

I started playing Bioshock since I bought it in the winter sale.

[bhodi]

Gnomoria took over my life for the past week.

I urge you not to play it. Don't! I mean just look at my fortress:


And my workshop level

And my great hall to attract more gnomads

[Ironwood]

Um, what's that ?

It looks like a good DF.  Is it a good DF ?

What has he got in his pocketses precious ?

[Yoru]

Let me help you there.

Isometric graphical game in the vein of DF and Towns, currently in early alpha, with more emphasis on playability and interface than either of those two. I've been keeping a wary eye on it.

[Ironwood]

*strokes chin*

Reaaalllly.....

[Lantyssa]

Looks ugly and I hate gnomes.  Maybe it's because I've worked for it so long I no longer see the code.  There's a cat.  There's a dwarf.  That's a legendary item...

[Zetor]

I've found I can't play Last Remnant for more than an hour or so at a time, now. I usually find a rare spawn that proceeds to one-shot my team with cachexia (or whatever). But since it's a rare spawn, I should be killing it for phat loots or it'll disappear forever! Hnnng.

I've also been playing some WOW, but LFR once a week probably doesn't count as anything worthwhile. Have been successfully resisting the urge to buy SC2 Part 2: Electric Boogaloo: The Monetization.

fake edit:

I hate gnomes.

Go gnome or go home.
