I need help: Does anyone remember a text-based RPG from about 1986 or 1987, wherein you were an explorer that spends at least one part of the game in Tibet? I remember one scene where you enter a monastery where monks are meditating, and they won't respond to you unless you leave an offering for Buddha. I'm dying to play it (haven't since 3rd grade).

Yeah, so I bought Dawn of War II, Nikopol, and Sacred 2. 

Convenient, since I really don't have time to play any of them.  Additionally, I have Witcher, Mass Effect and Assassin's creed to get through at some point prior to Aion being released.   I really shouldn't buy any more games for a while.......

Broke my right hand and now I'm checking out which games I can play with mouse alone or keyboard alone. Since the right hand is my mouse hand everything twitch related or with fine tuning needed is automatically out until I trained my left accordingly.

I see four weeks of DOS-based roguelikes ahead of me.

Finally getting around to some recent releases that I missed due to having a crap PC.

World in Combat
Dawn of War II
training skills in Eve
Aion beta
TF2

Kind of a shame when I have stacks of unplayed console games sitting around. I haven't seriously used my 360 in months, or the PS2.


Also, gotta love Steam for their sweet, sweet deals.

Hacked my way through Dawn of war II on veteran, nearly threw my PC out the window as it was too bloody hard, restarted on normal and snoozed my way through it. Why the hell do games companies have to set the difficulty on "Normal = for paraplegics, one step up = arm wrestling a wwe wrestler"

Playing a lot of Swords of the Stars as well. And I still have to get off my ass and finish the Witcher.

Dwarf Fortress mostly. Just because it's easy to queue a bunch of stuff during boring work teleconferences.  I wish I knew how to configure the notices that autopause the game.  I really don't need to know when I've struck some useless non economic stone.

Search for the Lhasa Scrolls!

I'm gonna download it tonight (plus an emulator). I remember loving this game as a wee kid, and I haven't played a good old-school adventure game since I found Shadowgate for the GBA.

Had the urge to start playing Mass Effect again, and still having fun with H2Overdrive at work also.  Plus I ordered Gears of War 2 and Uncharted for about $60 total (new) including tax and shipping, so I'll be getting into those soon also.

Finally got Gears of War from Gamefly.

Sadly, I'm not impressed enough to play past the first chapter. That "lead the nasty unshootable beastie through the smashable doors" part was just a bit too frustrating. And I was playing on casual.

A scrub is me, I guess.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

Not much gaming time outside of the weekends.

So more little bits of:
Fallout 3 on the weekends.

And with the wife, in small sessions at various times:
LotR: The Third Age
Rock Band 2
Lips

 swamp poop

Red Faction Guerilla got pushed to the side for the time being, as did Saints Row 2's final DLC missions. And everything else.

Nikopol actually has me oddly interested.  It has a decent setting I suppose and the typical puzzle crap those type games seem to have.  I can screw around with it without it having my full attention, however, which is good.

Page 40 update, still playing AoC. Level 52 Conq, running through the solo content since trying to put together PUGs for the group stuff in any sort of timely fashion is so dicey. Still having fun, loving the lore helps a lot, melee is fun as heck. Not sure how replayable it is, I've got a few alts in Tortage yet and while the slightly different story per archetype is interesting, post-Tortage seems like it would get old really fast. Major lack of content. Maybe I'm being a bit unfair as I'm used to EQ2 where there's too much content unless you level lock (and that's just the solo stuff).

Trying to decide whether to re-up, my free month is up in a couple days.

If you keep playing, you'll have fun. Thing is, if you let the sub run out, you probably won't miss it one bit. Conan's odd like that.

Sword of the Stars and Dawn of Discovery (Pro-tip: Carts only pick-up, they don't drop off.  A decent manual would've been nice).

Since either game sucks about 5 hours of my life away whenever I click the icon and I need to go to work to pay the bills I'm not getting a lot of sleep lately.

Good god.  Okay, seriously, from now on, just ditto whatever Yegolev is playing for me.  I swear to god you're always playing the same set of games as me, within a few week window of me starting or quitting them.  I beat Mana Khemia like a month ago.  I just started Last Remnant two nights ago.  Overlord II I took a pass on because my wife was playing it obsessively.  Devil Survivor is sitting in my backpack.

I don't know what this means. I was just asking if anyone has played it recently because its an old game and many old games that used to rock suck ass now. I don't want to drop 20 bucks on a turd pile, but if its good then I'll check it out for sure.
