2 weeks ago: Spore. Got to space age and...I lost interest. The patch that meant I kept getting killed in creature stage didn't help.

SO, back to World War 2 Online again. I missed the 8 Day Jamm's War Allied Victory but the Axis are fighting hard this round and due to the shorter time period of Tier-0 it's going to be a long battle (one before the 8 day war was 89 days long Axis Victory).

Diest is still on the front line.

NHL 09.

LOTS of NHL 09.


Also, went back to EQ2 last month with some friends. I'm actually playing a true caster for like, the first time in a game ever (not counting my stupid WoW Priest).

Illusionist is fun, but a pain to solo with due to low DPS.

I just devoured The Rise and Fall of Alexandria: Birthplace of the Modern World by Justin Pollard and Howard Reid.  It was fucking fantastic and after reading it I wanted a city builder.  All hail Tilted Mill, Children of the Nile Alexandria is great fun!

Yes, it shits on X-Com on the tactical part.  I kinda wish they'd taken it to the logical conclusion, sorted out the wee niggly issues and released an alien one.

Hm. I'm wrapping up Two Worlds, and SS is on my stack of possibles for the next game (with some Spore thrown in for good measure).

I'm considering HoMaM 5, Thief 3 (still haven't finished it due to AI bugs midway), or finishing off the last bits of Jade Empire or Freedom Force 2. Or maybe just more SimGolf. Mashunu!

More likely playing patch the stucco and repoint the concrete block with a bonus level of repaint the garage. Yay indian summer!

Disgaea 3 and WAR.  Disgaea 3 is pretty damn good.  Some of the tweaks to the system are damn cool and I'm liking the way that certain abilities chain together. I still can't level mages worth shit in this series.  WAR is WAR.  I haven't gotten to the grindy tier 3 shit and I may just keep rolling alts until they've done something drastic to address it.

Next week starts the new release flood.  Gyah.

Silent Storm would have been an all time great if it weren't for those stupid mecha suits.  If I type it this small, I really didn't bring it up, did I?

I've been playing Infinite Undiscovery.  I'm still only a few hours into it, heck, I'm not even sure if I've unlocked all the basic functions yet (You start with a reduced set and as you add members to your party you get access to their skills).  They made some weird decisions on what to voice and what not too.  There is so much dialogue though that I find my self humming A Little Less Conversation for most of a play session.

I hadn't played a jrpg since this time last year and that was more of a tactical rpg (Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness) so this is supposed to be warm-up for FFXII, Last Remnant, Star Ocean 4 and the other big name releases coming up.

I'm supposed to be getting Infinite Undiscovery for play after LEGO Batman trails off, but currently I have my wife downloading LotRO.  This is almost entirely because she cannot get The Sims to run.

The boy is all into LEGO Batman.

I am still playing LEGO Batman with the wife, and occasional Force Unleashed when I get some time.  Last night I went back to Digital Devil Saga II after a long break and the story went ACK! and I was like swamp poop but it's going to be DRILLING AND MANLINESS even though I have not bothered to master any mantra with Roland outside of Dia and Media (don't shoot me, schild!).

It was a close race between DDSII, Persona 3 FES, Steambot, Mana Khemia, Disgaea 3, and SMT: Nocturne.  After 2-3 months of 360 gaming, I once again have the weeaboo fever.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

I'm still into Icewind Dale, even if its endless save reload Infinity Engine shit combat.  Seriously.  Infinity Engine games would be God's own gift to nerds if they had turn based combat.

And Dragon Quest 4 on the DS, which if possible takes one of the best 8 bit RPGs and makes it even better.  And I have a rad level up spot where Metal Slimes are uncommon.  The tower you need to get this root from in Chapter 5.  I dunno about daytime, but at night roughly 1 in 5 encounters has a Metal Slime in it, worth 1350 XP per party member when even hard areas only provide around 200 for a fight.

My party of choice is:  Female Hero, Maya, Meena, and Kiryl.  Everyone uses magic, and 3 out of 4 have healing spells, plus decent close combat abilities.

Looks like my dad is letting me use his 360 this winter when he goes to florida. Some people might be excited.

Not only will that cost me an HDMI>DVI adapter, but he plays goddamned shooters almost exclusively. He's given me about twenty xbox titles I don't like (and I've tried all of them at least a bit). I honestly don't get the shooters with thumbsticks thing. Apparently he also has a Madden (which I was excited about), but it's 2005 or something (of course).

So....meh.

I'm not sure they'd even take a dozen six-year-old xbox shooters. I mean the Matrix, ffs? I wish I made enough dough to build pop a proper pc. I guess maybe I'll take them all back and buy one cheap 360 game and give that to him when I give back the machine. I might even get $5 back for all of them. Maybe.

I had never played Mount and Blade before, so I picked up a copy--nice to support the devs of that game with an actual purchase.

And jesus, it's addictive. So much so it's making me think: why does the minimalist "story" of this game drive me to want to play more, to the point that it killed my Warhammer playing cold this week? Part of it is the combat engine, which is always fun. Part of it is that new parts of the game structure reveal themselves slowly (building up some towns).

I think there's a lesson in Mount and Blade for MMOG designers--I'll have to ponder a bit what exactly that lesson is. Making combat exciting is part of it, but it's more than that.

Ironwood, my fiancee thanks you. I finally unpacked a whole wall of boxes from my spare room and sorted a bunch of shit out. I didn't tell her I was just looking for my Silent Storm Gold discs :)

Played the tutorial and first mission, can't believe I got distracted away from playing this game! I've had it sitting there for a couple years now, I got it when I got Gothic 2 Gold, ffs. I think part of it was not being widescreen, but the expansion is indeed in widescreen, and the game is good enough that playing it stretched doesn't bug me.

WAR. And doing my best trying to balance it time wise with married life. Tonite is date night. Tomorrow we're out all day. Hopefully that makes up for the past 4 nights of either playing WAR or watching that travesty of a MNF NFL game. It ain't easy having interests outside of those you share with your significant other. Not easy at all. I'm learnin though!

I'm playing Insurgency, a halflife2 mod. Its basically a multiplayer FPS based on marines vs iraqi insurgents, with the usual multiplayer FPS loadouts. Why this one, as opposed to any number of others, especially considering the politically unsavory theme? Simply because its got better game play than most. WarRock was pretty good, but it was too small, and folks found all the superl33t hideyholes to kill you within a few weeks. This one's terrain is more variegated, so it has more variety.

Oh, ya, main reason: its free if you have any number of the HL2 packs off of Steam.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Fall From Heaven 0.34 and LotRO again. My main character made 49 last night, the highest level I've gone in an MMG (I had a 48 in CoV). I could make 50 before Moria if I raced, but that would significantly reduce my enjoyment.

Dead Space.  Well, I only played the PC version and I hear the 360 one is difficult to control, but this one is an instant classic.

Is this bloke into weeaboo?  No?  I really like Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery, and I won't tell anyone if you do.

I'll suggest Force Unleashed on the idea that most people like Star Wars and extreme violence.  If you like force-choking a jawa, stabbing him with a lightsaber, and frying him with lightning before hurling him violently into another jawa, even better.

If he's not trying to maintain an image of manliness, LEGO Batman or LEGO Star Wars Complete.  I place LEGO Indiana Jones in third rank behind those, partly for the characters and partly for that one place where you have to jump back and forth between the rotating columns... jeez.

Mirror's Edge maybe? I assume Ironwood will get Left 4 Dead for the PC. Also, Persona 4 is coming out on the PS2, might not even be worth getting a 360 game. I assume Ironwood's problem is time, not money. In which case, Dead Space is what, 8-10 hours long, 15 on the first playthrough if you didn't basically master RE4. Also, thing about Ironwood, I don't even know if he's good at games. As such, Fable II might even be more his pace.
