It is 50:50 now.

One of those games eh? Can you run up to them and talk to them first, or does that have the opposite issue of running up to say hi and they shoot you dead? So far I was just running through the area when I suddenly heard some "Hey! Help me!" or something, then I try to rotate my horse and stuff is shooting, so I am shooting too, and then all are dead. /Edit: Yeah, like Calax wrote. :>

Started playing Red Dead Redemption. So far it is not bad, but I am having huge problems with figuring out who is friend and who is not. I'll see some dudes fighting, I run up to them, shoot and then there is -50 reputation. Oh well. Also that PS3 thingy is damn huge. I always thought consoles are small and handy, but this thing is like a house. A little bit bigger and one could live inside of it. Seriously, with that size, a normal pc doesn't seem that unreasonable anymore- also while looking at the prices of a recent console. PC master race just can't be conquered with that.

This is too good to be true.

There wasn't really any new game that totally hooked me up this year. From recent months, I liked Legend of Grimrock, FTL and Hotline Miami and I think these three are the new titles which I enjoyed the most this year. Other than that, I still mainly played New Vegas, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and some other such stuff from the years before.

Stupid germans.

And here I thought it would be a website about the german city Hamburg.

Started playing some Assassins Creed 3. Got around 2 hours done and I think I am still in the intro... have to say, I find the game really boring. So far everything is only cutscene, walk to x, cutscene, walk to x, cutscene,... ehw.

I still like it a lot and I just replayed it a few weeks ago.

I would try the game. I am just not sure if it could keep me motivated over a longer time.

Since a while already. I am in the beta since founders packs were available and I have to say, I get more and more angry with every patch. They delay everything all the time (which wouldn't be so much a problem) and when the next patch is released, they nearly fixed nothing from the old bugs. Since 2 months already the game performance gets worse and worse and they still didn't fix the memory bug that a lot people are experiencing. I don't want to restart my client after every 3rd game, especially when playing in a real group, etc. It just annoys the hell and fun out of me.

I didn't liked most of Nehrim's quests. They were poorly done or stupid / the pacing was bad. The game world was good looking, though. But just the graphics didn't really saved the game for me. As a mod, it is quite good, though.

I remember how I was hiding behind walls in Hitman 2, shooting everything that walks around. :>

Just finished Hotline Miami. Nice game.

Hotline Miami. Pretty cool game.

It's fine to hold on to old things, but you cant shut your eyes and say "NEW IS BAD" and make death threats at Behesda Devs, which they did. What are you talking about? NMA never posted death threats at Bethesda devs. What you probably mean are random people posting on the internet, but this happens all over the place and not only at NMA. Besides, NMA always killed such posts and sometimes even issued warnings. Also the fuzz was never about "NEW IS BAD" but "Bethesda takes an orange and makes it a banana." Unjustified NMA hate from your side. Better inform yourself before posting silly stuff. Incorrect, not only have they threatened them a few times, one even said something about raping a dev's wife. Again. What you mean are random people on the internet. This can happen everywhere and is not a NMA-only thing. "NMA" is not one character and it is not a hive-mind. Plus, I challenge you now to show true examples.

One should have been able to lead the evil Supermutants into Little Lamplight, to bring them what they deserve for living right next to evil Supermutants.

Yea, just watched the new trailer. Looks pretty cool.

Heh, indeed. If he wouldn't have added the "more than one town"-thing, it might be believable. But with this... no way.

That's creative. The only thing I remember doing in Sims1 was the drowning thing. heh. Heh, I did the same to create ghosts. It also worked with letting them go into a room and then selling the door. It took way longer for them to starve to death, though.

Reading Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetery right now. I am nearly done with it and it's pretty good so far. My first book from Umberto Eco and I might look at some of the older ones as well.

Sounds very unlikely to me. The whole text about it. Wish to be proven wrong too, though. The news article seems to be pretty bad anyway. The Fallout Online-part is wrong too, as example. It was always clear that Zenimax was working on an Elders Scrolls MMO and not Fallout Online. Also highly unlikely that the new studio will work on a Fallout Online. Just can't imagine them working on and releasing two MMOs at the same time.

Is it good? Trailer looks rather preachy.

No idea if that's sarcasm or something, but I really like it to have gained access- especially because I was tossing around mod ideas (quest / story) already since last month. Now I'll see how much I can get working from that and if it is good at all. I even re-read the first two of the books (the best ones, imo). Only in german, though. I'll probably need to read them again in english to get a better feeling for the writing style.
