The graphics look really good and all that, but I can really feel how the game would bore me to death already after just two days.

Finished the ArmA3 campaign episode 2. It could have been really good if there wouldn't have been so many wtf moments for me... Most annoying thing: The ai of my squad members. Running out of ammo and there are so many dead bodies around me, yet when I tell them to pick up a gun, they run into the sundown to whatevertown. Or when they lockup in combat and by the love of god just don't want to retreat. Well, so far it is still better than the ArmA2 campaign.

The World's End. Was ok-ish. Not bad, but I wouldn't want to watch it again anytime soon. But I want to listen to the Sisters of Mercy now.

Need to google that thing, because as of right now, I've never heard about it.

I am still pretty good at old games that I've played a lot back in the days. Like Jagged Alliance 1, for example. But I've never really played Deadly Games and when I try it now, I suck at it very hard and usually give up way too fast... Even though it's pretty much the same game.

Strange, I don't think that I got a link with a code to get the game. Do I get a mail with that stuff or do I have to login somewhere? Can't find anything about it right now. Reminds me that in theory I even had beta access... /Edit: Ok, found something about it. Had to go to www.humblebundle.com then scroll down to the bottom and click the "lost key" link. Then I typed in my kickstarter mail and connected my account with steam.

My Skyrim dude, called Gaius. I'll guess he is something like a frumentarius, though, sometimes I find it strange that stormcloacks are surprised I am with the imperials, even though I am running around in imperial armor almost all the time... This game seriously lacks a disguise system similar to that in New Vegas.

I did something really stupid last week... I took on a job without checking how long I need to travel for it each day and yesterday evening I realized that... everything sucks. It's a 38 hours job with really ****ty pay, and as I don't have a car, I need to take the bus, which means a waste of 3 hours per day just for that. I'll have to get up really early in the morning (which isn't a big problem to me) and yet I won't be home before approx 19 o clock in the evening (this is a huge problem to me) or even 20 o clock, if it is a bad luck day and I miss a bus by 1 minute. Then I'll have to make food and shortly after that it's pretty much bed time already... God damn timed employment trash. I hate it so much. You earn like no money at all and even though it is a fulltime job, I still need additional social money from the state. If I'd get twice the amount of money, then I might be fine with the huge amount of time I'll have to spend on that job, but this? This is a bad joke. I've experienced such a situation already once in the past and I know what happens next: The week over I will not have time for anything anymore and on weekend I feel too tired and weak to do anything other than sleeping and sitting around. No wonder nobody is motivated anymore to go to work. It's just not worth it. I am 26 now, but I'll have to deal with such crap. It just doesn't get me forward, there is no progression at all. And the worst is, I wrote job application for such jobs already in the past, yet I never had much luck- but when the timed employment firm suggests me to those firms, I'll get the job without them thinking longer than an hour about it... for half the pay, if at all. I am so pissed right now, I could destroy lots of stuff and probably still wouldn't feel any better.

I've tried this Skywind / Morrowind in Skyrim mod, and I'll have to say that it looks pretty cool already. There is still *a lot* that needs to be done, though.

I don't watch tv very often, but when I zap around and Spongebob is running, I usually stick with it for a while. Avatar was pretty good. I liked it till the end, especially after mid-season 2, when everything was going down the ****ter. Didn't know they made a new show in the same universe. Will check it out, I'll guess.

Indeed, but that probably was the only good Alien game so far. Alien Isolation is from Creative Assembly, by the way. So everyone should expect a super buggy game on release. :>

Yeah, this too. By the way, I think that Max Payne 3 works best if you ignore that the second game existed. Else all this whining about his wife and stuff is not really believable.

And I just finished Max Payne 3. It actually was a pretty cool game, I'd say, better than I've expected. Shows that all the buzz about "this ain't no Max Payne, coz it is sunny!" was way overblown, imo. I mean, the game does have it's flaws, but it still feels quite Max Payne-y to me. The things that annoyed me the most, though, were the fact that already in the first 20 minutes of the game I had killed more people than Rambo and John McClane together. Also I had to replay various scenes over and over and over again, because I had to learn the position of enemies first... Seeing the game over screen was way to easy for my taste (played on Normal difficulty).

Just finished Enter the Dominatrix DLC in Coop. The ending. It. was. Awesome. Too much win to handle for one person. Makes me wonder how much the designers were smoking when writing this.

I wanted to love this game. I really did. It ticks all the boxes of things that I love... but my GOD is this game impossible. It ended up being my most hated game ever. Something is only tense if you don't have to repeat it 50 times - then it becomes a rage-inducing chore. Seriously, ten minute long first person platforming chase sequences where every action you do has about a two second margin for error and if you mess up once you start over? Who the hell approved of that? Hehe, yeah. There is a hook: The game / player character runs faster / slower depending on your hardware. On certain computers, the chasing scene is like totally impossible. The faster the game runs, the easier it gets for you. I only managed it back in the days, because I reduced my screen resolution and all that.

That reminds me... I love the beginning of Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth. You get into the city and everything is dark and creepy, and it ends with you running away from the whole town in a really tensing chapter. Even when you get guns later, the game was super rad, imo. Despite the flaws, I personally find it to be the best Bethesda game.

Funny how I never thought about a Alien game in style of Amnesia. It totally makes sense and sounds p. cool too.

Isn't this happening already since like a million years? I still remember "Morrwind in Oblivion"-Mods... but actually have never seen any being released. /Edit: the video looks p.cool. Let's see if something comes out of it.

lolwut.

And then get tased into the nirvana. :>

Fallen Earth is selling booster packs, which give you a realy high advantage over non-paying dudes. For example, you can cut down a 10 hours crafting timer to 2 or less hours, if I remember correctly. In late game this is a huge deal, because all good items need a truckton of time to craft. Bleh this game is really unfun in late-game, just because of some really stupid design decisions.

^ exactly this. If you don't play the game with sawyers mod, you are missing out a lot, imo. Don't worry about the cheat items. Sawyers mod is taking care about it as well and gun runners arsenal is adding some quite nice weaponry to the late-game part. It's really expensive stuff as well, so don't expect to be buying everything a few hours into the game. Beside this, it kinda pains me to see New Vegas + all dlcs being thrown out for so little money, while even Oblivion was more expensive (and is a far, far, far worse game and rpg in my opinion).

Hah, the moment that pic loaded, I thought "well, that looks like Bruges" ... and then I've read your text. The movie In Bruges was super cool.

And yet you mentioned it first. Still what I said is true. Show me how you fight the later mobs with the small weapons skill or melee weapons, for example. It's much easier to go with the energy weapons skill, as it is in Fo1. Spares you lots of ammo, many reloads and enemies die like flies. If I remember correct, the most useful skills in Tactics are energy weapons, pilot (for one guy), lockpick here and there and probably traps in a few situations. In the beginning one might want to give one or two dudes some points in big weapons and due to lack of alternative weapons, a few points in small weapons until something better comes around. One might want to have some first aid / doctor and that's it. I don't think I ever needed something else. Ah well, and there was this bug that gives you worldmap encounters every few seconds. With Outdoorsman you could get around this... Doesn't change the fact that it's just a bug, though. Normally you shouldn't be swarmed in encounters like that.

I never said that gambling was good in Fallout 1 / 2. I like how you try to hang me on a few words, though.
