Started playing Dragon Age Origins. I’m a dwarf commoner.
Played FO:NV earlier. It’s so much fun having Boone as a partner and going into Caesars camp.
More Warframe. There’s a big event going on where the player base has to fuck up X amount of the new enemy units. I don’t know if enough players have access to Europa to actually top out the count though…
I bought Dark Souls: Prepare to die Edition and having so much fun with it.
I should really play Hawken again one of these days. They just released the specials skins for alpha players, of which I was technically one.
Me too. I’ll have to clear some HDD space for it.
Company of heroes, 24 hrs till server wipe. sigh, total leader boards, friends list and stats wipe. Its been a good run coh. I await your sequel with much anticipation.
It’s for a good reason tho. It’s not everyday that a videogame company agrees to move their server infrastructure elsewhere many years after the game was released.
Yeeeeeah… Wait. Will I loose my copies if I don’t enter them in Steam?
Meh. I had good stats. Over 700 battles.
im pretty happy my terrible company of heros stats wont be recorded for posterity
I still need to finish the single player. I think I was stuck on the mission on the Red Ball Express. Fuck that mission. It’s too hard.
I’ve been playing TF2 like an Übermensch lately… that whole RoboCrate thing is just really weirding everybody out. Luckily I got a good deal for one I found before people realized they weren’t worth much - 1 ref and an Australium Gold-painted Fancy Fedora. Plus, I found another one recently and I’m holding on to this one. Could have goodies inside.
If you’re willing to go big on buying stuff, I’m still kinda heavy on a series 40 crate.
Just played it for a while today.
Hawken is fantastic. I like the art direction - I think it’s dieselpunk, which I’ve always been a fan of. The gameplay is an interesting mix of fast and medium pace. You can jet around like there’s no tomorrow, but the mechs are actually very sturdy; even the weaker models take a while to kill.
That said, I think the game overdoes it with the filters and overlays. It gave me a mild headache after playing for a while, even after I disabled the permanent static/film grain filter.
Also, don’t turn on bloom.
A lot of War Thunder lately. Damn, I swear 90% of the people there are just cannonfodder. Shame the Hispano is so damn weak.
I’m having more fun in Hitman Absolution just killing everyone rather than trying to be stealthy. Just finished the Run for your Life mission with almost -300,000 points 
. The game is more going from point A to point B rather than the old Hitman formula so it feels weird trying to play it like a Hitman game. I’ve only had 1 assignment to kill someone and I’ve played 4 or 5 missions.
^ Reminds me of the stealth level in Red Faction.
I played a couple classics over the last week or so. First, the original Bioshock, which I’d never actually played on PC before. I played it once on a roommate’s 360. It’s a much better game than I remembered it being the first time. I figured I’d give it a go because I’ll probably be playing Infinite eventually. Bioshock really doesn’t like Windows 7, it turns out.
I also replayed F.E.A.R. Finished it just now. That game has aged really, REALLY well. But, heh heh, get this. I don’t have F.E.A.R. on Steam. I have a retail copy. On five CD-ROMs. And one of them has to be in the drive while I’m playing. And, heh heh, when I installed it, I found that it was only version 1.0, which doesn’t have widescreen support. So I downloaded and installed the 1.08 patch. Manually. Those were the days, huh?
I really want to play F.E.A.R. again. But the PC version of F.E.A.R. doesn’t like laptop GPUs. The only original F.E.A.R. engine game that works on my PC is Perseus Mandate. Which is attached to my Steam F.E.A.R. collection. Which is 16GB.
Fuck.
Yeeeeah, those were the days. Reminds me of Il-2 1946. You install it, then you’re up for two or three hours of PATCHING before you get to install UltraPack, or HSFX, or whatever is the latest “flying” version.
Or ArmA. Yeeeah, sweet times installing all the patches before it came to Steam…
