Picked up CS:GO on sale the other day.
Played my first competitive match last night (and the first time playing de_nuke in probably 8? years), being constantly bitched at by my team mates through the match for my utter incompetence was actually pretty darn amusing (I did manage MVP for one round.:P).

CS:GO competitive queue is a lot like the LoL queue at lower skill levels. There are a lot of really really garbage players who think the only reason they are stuck at a low rank is because of the other players they are teamed with. They are always the most vocal, terrible people and often just total garbage players to boot. Alas.

Steam - Dead Rising 3 at 40% off. Is it worth it?

I had it on my wish list at one point but given that Capcom once again did a horrible job porting it to the PC I removed it.

I'm finding it oddly satisfying just wandering around in the dark shooting zombies with a bow in How to Survive. Not normally my kind of game, but the isometric view with dual thumbsticks just works for me. The lighting is quite nice, and I think playing on the big screen is a bonus for this title (easier to see tiny details). And though I can mash items together to make guns, I end up using my bow most of the time.
At the price you should probably give it a shot next steam sale.

I got an old school D&D jones (I started listening to the Nerd Poker podcast and re-reading all the Gord books), so I am back to Temple of Elemental Evil with the Circle of Eight modpack. CoE also did a Keep on the Borderlands module with the ToEE engine that I am going to try after I slog through this goddamned temple.
Also still playing a lot of WoT and some Hex.

Also meant to ask- I have seen some of you playing the Steam version of Baldur's Gate. Is it worth the $20 they are asking for it? Was sorely tempted but decided to try ToEE again first.

IMHO no, not $20 unless holy cow you have to relive your childhood/adolescence/early adulthood/middle age right this fucking minute. Discounted, yeah, I think.

Yeah, having owned BG and BG2 in like two or three other non-EE versions already, I did not feel bad about waiting for discounts for both on Steam.
I also need to get back into CS:GO, but it's intimidating trying to get back into de_ games after a decade of not playing at all. I just stuck with deathmatch and gungame.

I'd recommend ToEE first, but I am a HORRIFIC ToEE fanboy. I'm currently playing Hearthstone. Now that I have a RL friend playing it also, it's really fun again. Bought TESO yesterday and, well, it's TESO alright. I hope it scratches my MMO itch at least until GW2's xpac drops. Used to play AC IV. Not sure why I quit, that's a fun pirate adventure, glad I took a chance on it.

For MMORPGs, I have been playing GW2 for a almost a month but today I decided to start playing Tera again because I miss the combat. I don't know how long this will last. I want a brand new one!

Matchmaker games are like 3000% more fun, give them a go! I played 4-5 competitive matches, won 2 in a row (while sucking fairly hard in 80% of them, and managing a .500 KDR in the last)...the matchmaker then decided to freeze me for 24 hours , since then I've played another 5 matches , haven't won one and have sucked balls in each match.

Cities didn't quite pull me in after the first session, but I get the feeling it's a slow grower for me.
How to Survive I still adore, but after getting mobbed horribly and repeatedly on a safe house opening, I had to put it aside. Way more than got my money's worth.
Currently digging Project Zomboid. I miss the original score pretty fierce though. It was awesome. Even my fiancee said 'isn't this the game that had that haunting, sparse piano score?' Looks like they took out NPCs? Those were pretty cool as well back when I played it a couple years ago (!). Fun game to dig into slowly, I can see some of the challenges ahead and will definitely just die horribly a few times figuring out a strategy. The UI is way better, stuff is a bit easier to figure out, though I did use the wiki just enough to learn what the states mean and how to deal with them but mostly I want to learn as I go. When my biggest complaint is that the UI doesn't scale for 1080p sofa playing (it's legible, but only barely) because I don't have a corrected 720p resolution saved...

Not sure why I quit, that's a fun pirate adventure, glad I took a chance on it. I am at a tipping point in ToEE. There are two encounters I am not quite tough enough for (werewolves and salamanders), and one down the hall with the Air Priest and his horde of bugbears and gnolls that keeps hanging near the end of the combat. I might go explore some more and come back later. Maybe burn some of Spugnoir's XP to get some more +2 weapons to kill the werewolves.

Yeah, I checked the thread we have and it was 2011 since I've played During lunch I decided to stroll around and find something besides houses and when I finally found a couple of what looked to be businesses or warehouses, I set off an alarm in one. Once I got away from that I set off another alarm. Since my bat is getting beat up and I haven't found a replacement, I journeyed back to my house just in time to shut down and go back to work. The urge to play while home for lunch is always a good thing.

There really are an awful lot of penis formations in Tera. Both snipped and un-snipped.

I've been playing on that branch for a long time and I can't remember what the differences are in that build vs. the other beta build. http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/4183-iwbums-the-i-will-backup-my-save-branch/

Somehow I have less time without a job, so I'm really just playing Destiny and Bloodborne. Our Destiny team is almost able to do nightfalls regularly, but we do have a young ringer that we call on. Need more raid gear. I'm stuck on boomer duty at Crota, since I have Icebreaker, until I either get a seeking rocket launcher or miraculously learn how to be the swordbearer.
Since Bloodborne is so far Half Demon's Souls, I'm going the fast weapon route and using the cane whip, which is really awesome.

Gog had a sale recently which reminded me I had Fallout 1&2 in their backlog. Finished up those two just in time for Pillars of Eternity, but I'm kinda isometric turn based rpg'ed out. Need three dimensions and movement.

For some reason 7 Days to Die is scratching the itch good right now. But oddly I'm enjoying it solo with zombies almost off. I turned on spawn in a couple areas (near buildings) and then turned them off so they aren't harassing me all the time.
It plays kind of like a bigger Long Dark with some UO/voxel mining kind of vibe going on. Basically I was just learning the game mechanics but now I'm enjoying a light survivalist/hunting/exploration game.

I ended up on GoG this weekend spent Sunday playing Defender of the Crown, Lords of the Realm 1 and Ultima IV

I'm playing Hotline Miami 2 currently and this game is just full of bullshit. I'm at scene 16 or 17 (casualties) the third level and this level is one of the most unfunny and infuriating levels yet. Not in a good way.
Can't see myself finishing that game.they took what made HM great and threw it right out.

Aw, really? I was thinking of grabbing that next week. That's unfortunate. I'm still muddling through La Mulana. New rule: if I'm stuck for three days, hit a walkthrough. I was breaking my head against the damn Fruit of Knowledge puzzle for like a week before I finally looked up a guide. Also finally gave Styx: Master of Shadows a few minutes, and I'm liking it so far. The idea of playing a stealth game as a goblin is a fun one, and so far the mechanics have been pretty cool. I was not the biggest fan of the previous game, but the shift from an RPG to a stealth action game has been enjoyable for me so far.

I'm trying to find a really old game that's about colonizing a new world (i think after earth gets boned?)
You have a ship which has I think three rings of fuel on it, and you can chart a course to a new system but then you discard a ring of fuel in a cutscene before travelling to the next possible colonization location

Still hammering away on ToEE. I have a paladin in my party, so I am not doing any of the inter-Temple war missions. I am just kicking the shit out of anything I can. Still having trouble with the salamanders at 8th level. They like to target my lowest HP characters with multiple fireballs which leads to immediate cessation of life. Actually had everyone live through the combat and then had my asshole 8th level rogue somehow not disable the trap on the commander's chest and blew himself and my druid to Valhalla. I was unamused.
I did some item creation and my non-NPC mage now has bracers of +4 AC and a light crossbow +2 of frost (extra d6 of damage). Unfortunately some of the really fun items require clerical spells so I will have to wait for my cleric to earn another feat. All in all it has been fun, if frustrating at times. Making me look forward to PoE.

Lightspeed or its sequel Hyperspeed? If not, maybe the list of space flight simulator games on wikipedia wil have it?

Did you play Ori and the Blind Forest? If so, which do you prefer and why? I will probably grab this when it makes it's way to PC - but I absolutely LOVE Ori.
