So, what're you playing?

If we could make that gif my title, it would save time.

[HaemishM]

Finished Bioshock Infinite. I will have to blog about it, but to say that it disappeared directly up its own ass is being too kind.

[jakonovski]

Been playing The Bureau: XCOM Declassified ever since the Steam sale on it. I was surprised at how challenging and tactical the combat is. It's actually an ok game. Clearly they had something much more ambitious in mind until funds were diverted to a certain other game, but enough remains that it's quite enjoyable. I just wish they'd made it a completely new IP, a cold war UFO setting is more than cool enough (and not unholy sacrilege, as a bonus).

Starbound.

Started up Warframe again and it looks good.  Too bad all my friends in Bat Country last logged in between 90 and 150 days ago.

[Lantyssa]

I got tired of every mission for anything even semi-cool being level 90+ and more often than not Mobile Defense.  It sucked all the fun out of Warframe.

[Rasix]

Started up Arcanum. I think it's been.. what 10+ years since I last played?  I quit in a huff when playing it its release state. Other attempts never got beyond installing, patching, and loading maybe once.  

Still ugly as sin, but at least it's got higher res hacked in.  The bug fixes are welcome.  

I may actually try to finish it, since this is rather compelling, at least early on.  However, this shit takes forever to play, and I've got a GW2 addiction to feed.  

[Ingmar]

You'll probably quit in one of the incredibly long boring dungeons. There's a lot of good stuff in that game but some of it is just an awful slog.

[Bzalthek]

I picked up Rust (alpha) because I saw some streamers running around.  It's a post apoc zombie survival with farming and building.  It's super boring on non-pvp servers, and you definitely need friends on pvp.  I would definitely be a farmer bot for any f13 crew that decided to roll on a server.  It's got plenty of issues but the streams are pretty damn interesting.

[Draegan]

I picked up Aarklash Legacy from gog.com for $13.00. Fun game, worth the price for sure. Playing on hardcore mode and it's challenging at times. THe only issue I have is that the gear and item drops are boring as shit. It's essentially just jewelry.

[Viin]

Picked up Civ 5 the other day, spent 5 hrs two nights ago and 3 hrs last night .. Oops, went to bed a little late. I enjoy (limited amounts of) the Civ games, but I'm not sure going from Civ 4 to Civ 5 really did much for me.

Any recommendations for a newer city building game on Steam? Something like Caesars?

[Margalis]

Started playing Mario 3D World. The other night I did the first two worlds, then yesterday I did like most of the rest of the game...very addictive. It's really hard to not go back in to find a star / stamp you missed or just move on to the next area, then before you know it it's 12 hours later.

The amount of stuff in the game is pretty mind-blowing. Very smart use of the existing mechanics in new ways as well as one-off content. The game also has a lot of personality, something the New Super Mario games totally lack. 3D Land was very good but this just completely blows it away.

Started up Warframe again and it looks good.  Too bad all my friends in Bat Country last logged in between 90 and 150 days ago.

I actually started playing Warframe yesterday and enjoyed it enough to get one of the starter packs as they were 50% off.  Other than that, I'm on vacation at my parents home and I've been seeing what games I can get to run on their crappy lap top.  I was surprised Warframe runs as well as it does on it but I've been mostly sticking to things like Papers Please, Hearthstone, Card Hunter and Ticket to Ride.

Just started Outlast: can't wait to see if my heart is still in good condition     . Worst case scenario: nice knowing you all :P

I watched Raedwulf play it. It's not the scariest game I've enjoyed people having pant-shitting moments on camera to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58tKRYx2uTA

that sentence is awful, don't care, christmas

Still playing a ton of Guild Wars 2, but have bought a few games off Steam in the last couple of days. I didn't really need to add to my backlog of games, but who can resist a good sale amirite?

[Lucas]

Finished The Walking Dead Season 1 (minus the DLC). So good 

[Paelos]

Finished AC Revelations. I enjoyed Brotherhood, but this one left me cold. I just finished all the story in a row after about Sequence 4 just to get it done.

Fired up M&B Native expansion again. I'll probably pour 20 hours into that before the end of the year.

[Xilren's Twin]

At the moment, both Eldritch and Paper Sorcerer are getting the run through in my time limited days of Christmas.  Both lots of fun for $3 and $5 respectively.

Once i have more time, on to Blackguards.

[Ironwood]

FTL is currently pushing my shit in.

Nothing like teleporting two of your pipe-hitting rock men into the enemy ship only for it to hyperspace out.

Poor chaps.

Gotta break those engines first, bro 

[Ironwood]

No, I did, but the fucker fixed them and clearly his FTL didn't reset.  The Cunt.

[Morat20]

Picked up Jade Empire, FTL, Shogun 2 and Braid.

Also starting Planescape: Torment again...

[Miasma]

I've been dropping the c word way too often in AC4.  It really isn't worth the most vile word in the English language.

[Rendakor]

Started playing XCOM; had to restart after a few hours because I'd made some dumb mistakes but now things are going good. Turning the tutorial off helped too, so I can manage my base and everything exactly how I want it.

Also tried out State of Decay, which is nice but I wish it had a 1st person mode. Played a bit of Craft the World, a cross between Terraria and DF; it's not bad but you can't move your stockpile so you're stuck building a base exactly where you spawned which sort of sucks. It's early access though, so I understand. I'll probably shelve it for a while because I've got plenty of other shit to play.

Working on a NG+ of Persona 3 Portable on my Vita; just did the first term finals and it's almost time for the beach trip.

[MediumHigh]

So I've bough a few games this year. Started with the game my friends quite playing league for which is DayZ....boy oh boy. Now that I have it I'm just going to make excuses for not playing....

[Falconeer]

Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. I was very skeptic about it (friends were raving about it), but it turns out to be a lot of fun. Curious to see how it'll evolve, it is already very cool but the potential is huge.

[HaemishM]

In between Battlefield 4 and soon to be Football Manager 2014, I installed Tropico 4 finally and poked around in it. The tutorials kind of put me to sleep, but I soldiered through and started a campaign game. This is really fun. I'm about 3 hours into the regular campaign and I really like it.

[murdoc]

Rogue Legacy and I need a controller. Badly.

[Quinton]

Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. I was very skeptic about it (friends were raving about it), but it turns out to be a lot of fun. Curious to see how it'll evolve, it is already very cool but the potential is huge.

There's some cool stuff here, but I feel like the F2P side of it is a little over the top with all the upgrades having delays that you can buy past with the for-money currency, and many of the other upsells: "oh you don't have enough lifeforce to buy Critter X, would you like to spend Bling?!!"

The bit where you can watch replays of invasions of your castle in addition to just seeing if they succeeded or failed is nice.

Definitely potential if they don't totally drown it in pay-for-upgrades and they add a bit more complexity (it'd be nice to have keys/locked doors, mutating layouts, etc rather than just rooms + monsters + traps).

[Teleku]

Rogue Legacy and I need a controller. Badly.

Yeah, the game is impossible with a keyboard.  You absolutly must use a controller, or don't bother playing it.

[koro]

Despite being designed for it, I found Rogue Legacy (like most side-scrolling platformers) controls really badly with a 360 pad.

[Sky]

I'm so ready for this platformer fad to go away. Lots of otherwise great games being ruined by it.

BUT I'M OLD FUCK YER SNES YOU TWATS
