Does the patch do anything about the ridiculous loading times that was a major issue when it first came out? I could never get into the game in any decent way because I literally spent more time at the loading screen than playing…

I just caved in and bought Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines on Steam.

I had borrowed it from a friend years ago and failed to complete it before he wanted the disc back.

The years have been kind: with the unofficial patch (6.6) installed the game is less buggy, also it runs quite nicely on my laptop.

I’m somewhat surprised by how linear the game is. Each quest seems to be leading me by the nose. Despite that, I’m enjoying it greatly.

You can turn up how many points the ai uses to navigate, its a cpu drain but modern pc’s can take it.

Playing Dragon Age, reading about Dragon Age plus a smattering of forum reading and following a Blood Bowl Let’s Play.

But yeah, how about some Dragon Age?

I’ve been playing settlers 10th anniversary with my son. Just me sat over his shoulder talking about what the little people are doing and how he can get more done. No enemies, no goals, just lots of food production.

On purpose i have had him place the farms, windmills and bakeries on different ports so he can see it all in motion.

nope, it behaves itself fine with me. I had that happen a bit with fallout when I was playing it on the laptop, but not bg.

Well Valve have a lot to answer for.

A week ago my to-play list was as follows:

Arkham Asylum (ps3)
Football Manager (whenever I’m stuck with the baby)
Guitar Hero (ps3) (When my mate is round)
GRID (ps3)
Team Fortress 2
Wolfenstein (when I could drag myself to it)

Now Valve have forced me to purchase:

Plants vs Zombies (50% off, how could I refuse)
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (£1.70… £1.70… thats less than my breakfast. I bought it twice, so I could force my friend to play it)

So Wolfenstein can now go take a running jump off the nearest cliff (I was only forcing myself to play it anyway) And I suppose PvsZ can join Football Manager when I’m stuck with the baby in one arm. I have a feeling that KOTOR may just consume me whole though when I start it up. Haven’t played it in 2 or 3 years and its one of my top games of all time.

Bloody Valve and their irresistibly cheap deals, I’m dreading the next couple of days, they may force my hand to my wallet all over again.

Got the THQ pack off Steam at a bargain, playing DOW2 for a start. Kinda meh, but we’ll see where it goes. It’s also nice to finally ‘own’ some of the games I played but never bought. Think I’ll try STALKER next.

What’s happening with Rogue Warrior? I have seen hardly any news, videos, or marketing for this game at all and it’s coming out in a couple of days?

That’s a good trick to know, thanks for sharing!

update: It really worked, and quite quickly, too! Ten minutes of doing the backup directly into someone elses computer (through a mapped network drive), and another 10 to install… voila, L4D2 without 8 hours of DL!
