Got a bit further in Expeditions: Conquistador. Trying to find some guy’s wife in the mountains and almost ran out of supplies.
Kirby’s Return to dreamland.
…what?
Haven’t played anything lately, for obvious reasons, but I did just watch a play through of CoD ghosts on YouTube.
That… Looked really bad. The let’s player in question even had a ten minute rant about it until the end of the credits.
Started playing Arkham City. I’m liking it so far, I enjoy the open-world RPG style quests with the sleuthing and punching of Batman and Catwoman. Oh and this happened today.
Beat up this guy so bad he broke the laws of physics to sit down and have a breather.
A bit of Dishonored (already played it, just mucking around).
I think one of the funniest things ever was at the Boyle Mansion. There was a rat inside and a maid goes “Urgh, fucking disgusting!”, then stomps on it, LOL.
I like how, during the party, you can just grab things off the shelves and the guests remark that they’re doing the same.
YES! “Oh help yourself”. I’m like, k.
You can also just swing your sword at the giant fish (and I think most other things as long as its not a person), and the people just continually freak out.
Dark Forces. Captured by Jabba the Hutt, punched a Kell Dragon to death
More Arkham City. I was inside a building that had a lot of pieces of rubble on the floor, and things were going fine at first until all the pieces of rubble start rapidly switching orientation, as if the game suddenly got confused about which way the rubble was supposed to be lying. So although it’s quite creepy to see the floor totally freaking out, I ignored it and continued to play for a few more minutes, writing it off as a PhysX glitch. Then suddenly my screen goes black. I groaned, figuring it was a c2d…but when my monitor just stayed blank, I checked the power led and it was off. I began to get worried. I tried turning it back on but nothing happened. That’s when I noticed smoke rising out of the back of my computer. Evidently my power supply had caught fire. However, when I opened it up to inspect the damage, I couldn’t find any charring or melted components. Puzzled, I tried manually turning on the PSU, and after a few tries there was a spark from inside the PSU and it came back to life. I have no idea what really happened but I think it’s time to get a new PSU, I don’t think this one can be trusted. I’ll bet it’s overheating or something - I doubt it’s a coincidence this happened soon after I began playing Arkham City. This is the first game I’ve played that’s really taxed my PC, and while frame rates are generally good, certain scenes/situations have caused some major slowdowns. The extra power draw may have cooked something in the PSU that was just waiting to fail…
TL;DR - Batman fried my computer
Assassin’s Creed. Most of the way through the story now, so:
/collect ALL the flags (got all of them in the Kingdom and in Masyaf, the other cities are going to take a while…)
/hunt down ALL the templars (42/60 so far)
:tired:
If it is your PSU that’s failing you might want to stop using the PC until you get a new one installed - best not to risk it causing damage to your other components.
^ I’m impressed at your dedication, Dreadmoth. I never had the willpower to get all the flags or kill all the templars. I DID do all of the Save Citizen quests, though.
Still got 18 Templars and 183 (!) flags to go… I imagine I’ll be well and truly sick of it by the time I finish hunting down the remaining ones in Damascus 
I’ve done all the required and optional missions so far (partway through Memory Block 5).
I’m hoping Ubisoft will release AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations on GOG.com at some point in the near future - though if they go on sale on Steam or GamersGate I might just get them on there.
EDIT: Haha, a successful counter with the hidden blade instantly kills a full-health Templar. This should save me a few seconds…
Yeah I pretty much just left my PC in pieces in the middle of the night last night and promptly ordered a new PSU before I went to bed. Good thing newegg’s having their black November sale, picked up a nice modular 850w Cooler Master for $130, plus $40 MIR (on sale from $160). Here’s hoping my old PSU didn’t fry anything else.
Europa Universalis IV demo
I know what I’m buying next
Got tired of playing the Riddler challenges in Arkham City and decided to play the New Game Plus campaign. It’s kind of weird having the counter notifications.
I started Dishonored yesterday. Blinking around is a lot of fun.
Been switching around between Arkham City and Arkham Asylum playing both of their single player campaigns (Arkham City in New Game Plus).
Had a hankering for a game with time based gameplay, which apparently roguelikes are pretty good. At currently playing through the Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup tutorial. Also played Superhot, which has a similar sort of system. It’s an fps but time only moves when you move, so looking around, shooting, moving, etc all take up certain amount of time. I think it’s really cool. It’s pretty short though because it’s only a proof of concept I guess. I hope a full game like it is made soon.
I’ve played Superhot sometime ago and I thought it was really cool too. Good thing it got greenlit a couple of months ago. I wonder how well it will turn out when the full version of the game is released.
Rage on the free weekend. Played it for a few hours then went ahead and bought it along with its DLC. This game is great, especially for five bucks, and it’s gorgeous, too. A bit like a Fallout 3-lite with vehicles and souped up graphics.
EDIT: Although, what the dicks. I had Rage completely installed from the free weekend, then when I bought it, it deleted all the preloaded content from the free weekend and is now downloading the entire 23GB game again. Hopefully it didn’t wipe my saves.
