Just bought Hitman: BM on Gamersgate (on sale ATM) and will get to it as soon as I am done with TL2.
In TL2, I am somewhere in act 3 (I don't really follow the story) and am starting to get a bit tired from it, so it's a good idea to take a break before starting a new character (thinking about berserker. Noe playing embermage).
Bah! My blog is fulla bollox! What? Don't believe me?Here! Just look at it!
Rage, finally. It's alright, but it doesn't grab me as much as the old id Software games did, nor is it interesting enough for me to play more than one or two missions during a single session. It's pretty much a huge sandcastle of wasted opportunities and reloading textures.
- If the sound of Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" makes you think of Kharak burning instead of the Vietnamese jungle, most of your youth happened during the 90s. -
I'm in love with Borderlands 2. It's one of my games of the year, for sure.
I thought the first game was good (enough for me to be interested in buying the sequel at any rate) but I seem to be enjoying the the second outing a lot more, for some reason.
Perhaps it's because I'm playing it in co-op instead of singleplayer, but on the the whole the game seems ... bigger, than the first in almost every way. There's some good writing too; gotta love a game that can make me laugh.
I'm playing Sleeping Dogs.. great game so far, much better than any GTA was.
But oh, that minigun part was glorious! Him ripping people up while he was on a train as you're outgunned earned him bro4lyfe status. and he still sticks around by the end of the game if you pick him as a handler, killing Scarlet for you if you left her back in Graybox

Started playing HOMM6 again (which I finally managed to get working, though the lastest patch of course broke stuff again as well.... ). I'm in the second Necropolis map (Towards the within), but had to start over since *SPOILERS* I had too little units left to "kill" the Haven hero (Conrad?). Which is a major annoyance, but the level is fun enough to play again. Apart from the flaws and bugs, the game is really entertaining to my surprise. But U-play still manages to frustrate me immensely...!
Mijn Uitlaatklep - My (Dutch) blog about games, music and more
Borderlands 2 is really very entertaining, Played a few games with Airtekh and it was a blast, highly recommended co-op player (as are most of the RPS forumites i've met here; ForceFlow.be, Cjone, ata, Universal Hampster, President Weasle, Lordofthehills, 40crew, Aepervius and ark).
My mate also bought me Torchlight 2 which was very nice of him. I played an outlander in the beta with pistols, so decided to go melee in the realse, and found it really uncomfortable. So i might go back to being a ranged specialist, hows the embermage?(I played the Alchemeist (summoner) in the previous game).
From my last post i've only really played Syberia 2 any amount; not much to write home about really. I'm enjoying it very much, but its definately the "difficult second game", it plods on but it lacks the character progression Syberia one had (so far), still very pretty though.
As its October though i'm going to do my yearly tradition of digging out spooky games, and the line up looks like this;
Finish Lone survivior - currently outside
Finish Cthulu saves the world - I have a dragon and i think i'm really near then end with this one, I'm not sure, its been ages since i last played this
Finish Zombie Containment puzzler - I played this for an hour one night and found myself REALLY into it, so i think it deserves a second look
Start Blackwell: Deception
and finally...
Try my best to actually finish Amnesia - I'm just about to descend the lift and the prospect terrifys me.
Although tbf, i'll probaley end up playing Borderland 2... alot of Borderlands 2.

Must happen only if you had negative reputation with her, as Heck was my handler for the final mission and that didn't happen even though I left her to get out by herself.
I was in the middle of picking the lock or hacking the keypad at the far end, so when he shouts to duck and you hear hell kicking off behind you I was fearing the worst.
Great idea. Halloween usually sneaks up on me (no pun intended) so that I rarely get into any scary games actually during the holiday time. Hopefully, I can break away from Borderlands 2 long enough to play some Amnesia, Resident Evil 6, and maybe some of the cool new indie horror titles (Anna, Lone Survivor, or Slender...) It might even be time to try out some scare Half Life-based mods, like Cry of Fear.
But like TomxJ, this is all contingent on being able to pull myself away from B2, which has not been a very successful endeavor so far...
Spent a few hours playing grid. Locked myself to the inside the car view and all assists off (except rewind). I honestly feel like the drift events are really fun, using the 2nd analogue to look out the windows so I can see where I am going.
Drift events are fun? What's happening to me brah?

I attempted to play 3079, for a little while. What a very strange game.
VTMB's still in my backlog so I can't comment on that, but everyone who hasn't yet played STALKER: SOC with the Complete mod owes it to themselves to do so. It might be the most immersive game I've ever played. It might even be the best game I've ever played. It's not quite like anything else, and, without saying too much, the game it turns in to after a few hours isn't quite the game it presents itself as when you first start out. It won't be for everyone, of course. It's bleak, buggy at times, occasionally poorly translated, and completely uninterested in coddling you. But I don't think the phrase "understated masterpiece" is going too far.
If you go with SOC, just make sure to mod it with Complete first - it's keeps the spirit and mechanics of the game perfectly intact, and I've played the vanilla game enough to know that you lose nothing (and gain so much) by starting modded - and remember to take your time. There really is no rush. The landscape is the main character. It might be the only game I've ever played where sidequests and random encounters are at least as enjoyable as the main plotline.
I'm still mainly playing FTL. even with the occasional intersection of kicking ass with my Embermage in Torchlight, I don't think any game has had such a gleefully tight grip on me in at least a year as FTL has.
