I also like, "Hey that's a pretty fancy purple you found there peon. Nice and shiny. Man, you are lucky. NOW PAY US SO YOU CAN WEAR IT! YOU CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS EVEN THOUGH YOU HOLD NICE THINGS."
Yeah, I mentioned that one, but it's even better because YOU HAVE NO INVENTORY. So SELL IT. SELL IT NOW POOR PERSON. lol. I'm going to stop now. Honest. (Sounds like you need a Trippy, Mr Advocate.)

Why stop? This is the most fun I've had with SWTOR since Min and I got bored of it and couldn't take any more.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Have they allowed you to turn hats off without paying? That was always one where I was like...
Of course if they did that with shoulders in WoW, they'd probably make millions.

Being able to afford $15, I sadly did not have many issues other than dealing with the really touchy camera turning speed. Instead of prompting me for money, they even gave me free shit. Sadly, slut dancer pants look a bit dumb on Kira.
We do have a thread specifically for bitching about the FTP. It's in the graveyard. Easy to find, most MMOs are in there.
LoL and Skyrim. LoL is against hitting critical mass with the assholes. Luckily in Skyrim the only assholes are those damn draugur that disarm you. Nothing like a spell that makes you go play "Where's Waldo" for you sword and removes your keybind at the same time. I hope their next game comes up with a more elegant inventory system, but they'll probably just put in even more shit (or a new graphics engine and less shit).
Beat Bastion on my iphone. Decent enough game. The last weapon is a bit of a pita to use with touch controls.

Witcher 2, I consider it better than skyrim, and I loved skyrim. This engine is also fucking nuts. Not for the faint of heart though.

Game. Set. Match. You are broken. Although, too be fair, part of my disdain for the game comes from my intense disappointment in it and not solely on it's merits as a clunky piece of garbage. Only way I ever go back and play/beat it is if they announce Witcher 3. Then I am compelled. Can't skip a book in the middle of a series.

Word.
The story / dialogue in Witcher 2 combined with QTEs and crappy combat mechanics (compared to 1) made me quit near the start of chapter 2. I find the dialogue bad because obviously a lot of effort went into it, but it still comes off as WAY too forced, awkward, and the 'trying too hard' aura pervades everything. Maybe it's better after chapter 2, but eh.
(e: yeah I know that it was made by non-native speakers - I'm not a native speaker myself, but shit like this still annoys me. Put down that thesaurus and nobody gets hurt!)

No sir. I believe the opposite is true. Perhaps you played an earlier version, I just picked this up a few days ago. I find the characters more compelling, more memorable then skyrim. I find the graphics more stunning. I find the questing more compelling, and reasonable than the nearly MMO like saturation of pointless quests skyrim tosses at you. I really enjoy that a single town can be the backdrop for some awesome, more personal stories compared to 30 towns in skyrim to create the same coherence. The combat however, ill give you, its a bit clunky at parts, but its not that horrible. However, that aside, the system and game gives challenge where skyrim did not. Consequence where skyrim does not, in areas of questing, combat and outcomes in toon advancement. Skyrim is a Disney park ride compared to this. I appreciate that. As for the dialog, I find this way more practical than the dialog in skyrim. I also really enjoy that at times, this plays as more of a detective/gumshoe character then not. Rather then a "barbarian who is the chosen one", again. But I also enjoyed skyrim.

Good call, whoreson. Nothing like a Potato brand of blood and nudity criss-crossed with fantasy politics. I think it's due for a replay for me. :)

Flu's knocked me on my ass so I'm playing some swtor. With all the presence bonuses from the legacy Qyzen can pretty much solo any quest encounter. So I can nod off or have a coughing fit and not worry about it.
Witcher 2 did have better characters and story than skyrim, but the controls were just so rage inducingly clunky.

I'm currently playing... WOW-MOP with my guildies (who've decided to check it out now). Not sure how long we'll stick around this time, I'm going to bet <2 months. Also playing through the games from the Steam sale and previous indie sales (finished Puzzle Agent, Puzzle Bots, Batman: AA; playing through Batman: AC now), and eyeing XCOM for a classic playthrough with some of those nifty new options after I'm done with those.
re Witcher2/Skyrim: I could concede W2 having a better story -- and to be fair, having a better story than Skyrim isn't that hard. It's just that the Witcher 2 dialogues are... yeah.

ArmA II, Just Cause 2 and DX: Human Revolution.
Regarding Arma II (I got all the expansions), I think that, after countless tries and miserable failures/frustration, I managed to become somewhat decent at it. I'm currently playing the first SP campaign (Harvest Red) and having tons of fun. I'm also playing a bit of DayZ and another interesting sandbox mod, "Wasteland": three factions (Blufor, Opfor and Indipendent) PvP while you are scavenging for goods and crafting defense buildings and other stuff. There are also random AI events popping up. Give it a try :) (when you are in the multiplayer menu, just put "Wasteland" in the "host" or "mission" section.

Solar 2. Bought it the other day when it was 75% off. I think I was drunk and thought it was a Privateer-esque game. I was initially disappointed but now I can't stop thinking about playing this damn thing. It's hooked me good. So much so I was fucking dreaming about it last night. Had to run away as fast as I could because fucking black holes where chasing me. I only dream about games I like and I think I love this one.

I was drinking when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray.

I know I'm late to the party - but Dark Souls is REALLY fucking good. Thank God for the community fix though - I don't think I have ever played a game that was so completely saved by someone. The controls take some getting used to - but I've actually been pretty successful with a M+KB setup once I got a fix for THAT too.
Just went through Blighttown - that place is depressing as Hell. Still need to take out the Boss, but at least I got myself down to the bottom.

Playing a mixture of SoaSE 2 and yet another game of EU: 3 (good thing its not linked to my Steam account.. it'd probably show something disgusting like 8-900 hours played). Dabbling with another play-through of Recettear and some horrible, horrible attempts at playing Dark Souls -- I, apparently, cannot use a controller worth a damn. It feels so.. clunky in my hands and all those buttons. Makes me feel damn old (last controller I used was early SNES days where it had a pad, four buttons and a start/select and maybe right/left triggers?). The game looks good enough that I want to keep playing, but god damn does the control scheme make me want to kill people; I loathe having to control movement and the camera.

So, using a mouse? How's that working out? I die a lot with a controller.

It took awhile to get used to it, but now I'm doing pretty good with it. The DSMFix made all the difference. It smoothed out the camera and can map whatever I want to the buttons using the GUI that it provides. There really hasn't been any time where I was like "I wish I had a controller" once I added the mousefix and configured the buttons the way I wanted them.
Also: I die a lot.
