So, what're you playing?

[Lucas]

Diablo 3 of course...

...And I got a weekend beta invite for Torchlight 2...

...And a beta weekend invite for The Secret World...

...Also planning to donate something to Path of Exile 'cause I liked last week's test, which means entering beta....

....And I'm still playing the Old Republic....

....And messing around with TERA...

....Plus the huge backlog of unfinished CRPGs...

...Life is good.

[Rasix]

D3 only.  MUST PLAY MORE D3.

It has completely killed off my will to play LoL.  Long business trip helped with this as well.  Still watching the competitive scene, but I just don't feel like hopping back in.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Might be a good opportunity to work through some single player games or go back to SWTOR once D3 loses my interest (this may take a while).

[WayAbvPar]

Lots of D3, and some World of Tanks. Sacrificed a good night's sleep the past 3 nights for one or the other (or both). I need to retire. Anyone have a spare million or two they can send my way? I will help powerlevel your characters!

[Ingmar]

D3 & SWTOR (SWTOR is losing for now but I'll be back once the initial frenzy is over) - nothing else I'm even remotely interested in at the moment.

[Sky]

I'm surprised how well Freedom Force holds up. Having a blast in that one (yuk yuk).

Also playing TOR, Minecraft and Warlock; started on Deus Ex 3 and forgot I need to hook up my surround speakers after the switch to summer configuration in the living room.

I'll check out Diablo 3 when Blizz finally gets around to offering it at a decent price. As I told Xanthippe, if I were to buy a full price game right now, it'd be Risen 2.

I hope your future nursing home has reliable internet.

[Segoris]

I hope your future nursing home has reliable internet.

That line gave me a mental image of how fucked up the future is going to look in nursing homes having a bunch of old bastards catassing to Diablo 4 in the year 2062....if it's out by then that is. Scary, scary image.

[Sky]

I hope your future nursing home has reliable internet.

Thus you see how much I care about playing it. Not a bad game, but not my thing. Makes all the drooling kinda funny.

[Kail]

On another note, has anybody heard anything about this "Orion: Dino Beatdown" game just released on Steam?  Trailer looks lame as hell, but the description claims it's an "an Open World, Class-Based Cooperative Survival Sci-Fi FPS" about guys in robot suits fighting dinosaurs, which sounds too awesome to not be horribly fucked up in some infuriating way.

The steam forum page was moderately amusing. It appears to be horribly fucked up in some infuriating way.

Yeah, did a bit of digging and it definitely looks... not what I was hoping for.

Ran through Prototype this week... ugh.  The gameplay for that game could be so fun, if A) the game wasn't swarming you at all times with massive numbers of enemies constantly fucking up your attempts to do anything other than spam melee, and B) the protagonist wasn't the least likeable asshole in the history of video games.  I can't remember the last time I've seen such a grim world, and not grim as in girtty and badass, grim in the same way that the bubonic plague is grim.  Fuck.

Also grabbed Offspring Fling, the puzzle platformer on Steam, which is better than I thought it would be.

"Ubisoft week" is kicking my ass, too... does anyone know if the jackbooted copy protection for Anno 2070 has been removed or relaxed or anything since release?

[snowwy]

Diablo 3, Tera and when i feel the need to shoot people in the face, holding on to BF3. TDM with the MP7 is hella fun, or why not a shotgun-only server with the Saiga   

[Zetor]

Fallout:NV. Lonesome Road was finally made available in my region after a 8-month delay, so I snagged it. It was ok... definitely not as good as OWB. OTOH it's gotten me into playing through the entire game again as NCR this time, so yay!

I have also been playing Freedom Force recently... game's definitely aged well and it still has a pretty active mod community. There are a ton of campaigns out for it too by now... I'd recommend this site if you wanted to check out some of the better ones.

TOR.  A couple more storylines to go, and I can let it rest.

On deck : Aion free trial, Batman AC, Witcher 2 EE (maybe).

[Cyrrex]

So I am nearing the end of my Mass Effect 3 play through (yes, I am slow).  I have been very deliberately running away from anything that smelled like a spoiler for this game, so I am only peripherally aware of some pretty major controversy that surrounded the ending.  I am not actually certain of what that controversy is - and have avoided trying to search for information on it, as I didn't want to run into major spoilers.  That said, I couldn't avoid the subject completely and believe I may have figured it out.  So can one of you please answer the following question for me:


If it is something else, please just answer "no" and move on.  If what I wrote is more or less correct, then feel free to expound on the subject.  Again, I know this information is widely available, but I am trying to avoid specific searches for it, so I thought a simple question here would be safer.  Thanks in advance, you random figments of my imagination.

[Lantyssa]

No.  DLC does not play a part in the uproar.  (For once.)

[Reg]

I've heard that they're planning to come out with a DLC this summer that will address some of the complaints about the ending. Is that true?  I've been holding off on finishing the game to wait for it.

[Thrawn]

Went to a lan get together Friday and Saturday, probably played at least 20 hours of Diablo 3.

Was surprised when I got out of bed Sunday morning and realized the first thing I wanted to do was play Diablo 3. 

[Viin]

Picked up Diablo 3, 'cause I enjoyed Diablo 2 (not a rabid fanboi by any measure though)... meh. It's alright, but if I have a spare hour I'd rather spam click in LoL than D3.

[Ingmar]

Yeah, free DLC. Don't know a whole lot about it at this point.

[Nightblade]

Diablo 3; though everytime I finish playing I get this sinking feeling that I've just wasted an hour of my life doing nothing but grinding through normal alone.

[Kageru]

new ending video by the same guy I linked previously. Basically they've promised to add "clarification" without making changes to the ending which he feels is unlikely to work. I would suspect the DLC promise was mostly just to defuse the negative media.

[Phry]

Played Diablo3 for a weekend... playing solitaire and freecell feels like less a waste of time

[jakonovski]

PSN had Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X on sale, so I bought 'em. Started with Veronica. It's pretty good, but man there's some cock stabbing design choices in that game. A particularly deranged combination is undroppable items and having to pick up and expend items to save the game.

[jakonovski]

hurf

[Sjofn]

Aside from Diablo 3 and SWTOR, I've started playing The Sims Medieval again. I think I like that better than the Sims proper right now, because the Sims 3 is collapsing under its own weight (which means it's time for the Sims 4, imo  ).

[kildorn]

I've gotten sucked in to Dragon's Dogma a few nights in a row now. Mean to play it for an hour then go do something else. Wind up finally hitting town at 2am after some crazy accidental adventure or another.

[Surlyboi]

SWTOR and DayZ, now that TSW shit the bed on me and I can't be arsed to download the whole goddamn thing again.

[Cyrrex]

Finished ME3.  I don't get what all the damn fuss and uproar was about.  I mean, I get that the ending may not have been exactly what everyone wanted it to be, but so fucking what?  People take this shit too seriously.  I will look back on the whole experience and remember only that I was thoroughly entertained.

Not sure what to do with myself next.  I will definitely play Skyrim here and there, plus some D3 whenever I feel like it.  SWTOR is kinda on the shelf for me for a bit, maybe until they get the LFD up an working.  I think I need to get back into Dark Souls and spend a shitload of time in that.  Either that and/or Arkham City, which I also need to finish.

You probably lack the requisite mental instability.

I'm back to just playing minecraft mostly, while listening to google play. Wish Warlock had more complexity and variety, so close to being an amazing TBS.

Also: DayZ, DayZ, Give me your answer do....

[HaemishM]

Finished Arkham Asylum and goddamn was that a fun game. Though I would like to punch the Scarecrow levels designer in the ballsack. Side-scrolling duck and dodge my fucking ass. Otherwise a fantastic game.

I'm trying to decide between devoting my non-LOL and Tribes: Ascend time to either Mount & Blade: Warband, Napoleon: Total War (which I can't play for more than an hour w/o my motherboard getting dangerously hot), Shogun: Total War, Fallout: New Vegas, Dark Souls, Arkham City or going back to Skyrim. Any thoughts?

[Paelos]

I would do Warband with the Brytenwalda mod.

[HaemishM]

I tried that mod and it crashed the game on loading.

[Sky]

Any thoughts?

Minecraft!

[Engels]

Any thoughts?

World of Tanks. That'll take up your time for a year, easy. I'm working on year 2.

[Paelos]

Sword of Damocles then. If not that, ROTK.
