Shadow Warrior 2 was well worth the 25 bucks I spent on it. It's like an open-world Serious Sam/Doom/Painkiller with loot and upgrades. It's a pretty fun game to pick up and play anytime you want.

To me it sounds very soothing, calms the mood for some reason. I love me some Dark Ambient music every now and then. Sunn O))) & Ulver

Not sure how you hallucinate on weed since, well, it isn't a halluconogen. Though having a sweaty butt and being confused by a fart because it turned into a wet fart is possible. Dude, please do share with us. What is a halluconogen?!

Shadow Warrior 2 is a very relaxing shooter. Using different upgrades on different loot and experimenting with them on the enemies is a whole lot of fun.

Oh man, I'm in:

Not much gameplay footage, but oh well...

Saw them live twice back in the days, once at the rebirth concert in Vienna and once at the Kaltenbach Openair Festival. I talked to Jon actually...good times! R.I.P Jon Nödtveidt...you were one helluva musician.

Couldn't have said it better. My brother works as an architect in Vienna and the time he spent at Moser Architects during 2009-2011 was terrifying! At one point they told them that either they will finish the hotel at schönborn by the end of September or they'll pay a fine of 300.000 Euros and you know something is not right when some of the employees have to take cocaine and speed at the same time just to get the job done and then spend a week at a sanitarium...can't imagine the gaming industry being any better. A new gaming industry crash?! It could happen.

One of the European/German hidden gems I keep hearing about is Darklands. I bought it during a steam sale and I might give it shot one of these days. I agree. The little time I spent playing Drakensang and Gothic 1 felt very deep and rewarding.

Thanks man, much appreciated.

My take on VR? Short and simple: I don't have the money! PS VR is affordable but at this point am not sure whether it's VR or 'The Poor Man's VR'. It has a few good games and a ton of filler low budget 'VR experiences'. The only thing that caught my attention was this VR game called Apollo 11. I would love to know the terror the astronauts felt while travelling through the darkness that is space. Scary stuff! But yeah, good VR to me right now is the HTC Vive and that thing is not only expensive, but it also needs a very capable PC to support it.

I am pretty sure that Fluvoxamine hasn't caused me anything that I would describe as manic episode. What it does though is that it takes care of my OCD problems, anxiety and the major depression episode that always comes after a Hypomania episode. SSRI in general can be used for treating a patient that is diagnosed with Bipolar II but just like with any other treatment, it must be under supervision of a therapist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_II_disorder#Treatments

World War 3 reminds me of Half-Life 3...it keeps getting pushed back!

I do have one but this is as good as it gets. 30% of people who are diagnosed with Bipolar II end up taking their own lives. It took some trials and errors before I could find the right therapist but in the end I did somehow. He prescribed me with the kind of SSRI that worked for me which happens to be Fluvoxamine in my case. The right SSRI will hold you off from depression but it also kills your sex drive. That and you can't go cold turkey on them, otherwise you'll have to start all over again with the therapist and a larger dose of the said medication. It doesn't have a threshold though, there isn't any sort of addiction or recreational feel to it which is a good thing...I don't like feeling like a lowlife even though I am one.

I once did hallucinate on pot. I farted and I was 100 % sure I had crapped my pants, the bad thing about it was that I was in a friends car and I had to ask him to pullover near a freeway. It was pretty odd though, I checked my pants and nothing was there. I also hallucinated on Acid once but in general, hallucinations don't occur much with me. I don't drink or smoke but pot is a regular thing. Years ago when I was busy studying computer science in Austria/Vienna I suddenly had to leave my studies and go back home because mom was diagnosed with a rather strange kind of cancer(Nasopharyngeal Cancer). I stayed and mom eventually passed away two years after I returned. I stayed and didn't return to my studies in Europe and have been sitting at home ever since. So yeah, I need that stuff regularly, otherwise I have to think of how the tumor was popping my mothers eye out of her skull while she was still breathing... Life's pretty cruel...

Well then, Anthem will probably flee EA and join the Mujaheddin.

I had the same experience. I was having the time of my life with the game when all of a sudden it decided to crash on me while I was trying to capture a scene and it corrupted half of the files on my PS4...including my beloved P.T demo. Holy ****ing hell! That sucks so damn bad about P.T. I still have it on my hard drive, if I knew a way to copy it I'd send ya it. Thanks. Nah, just make sure to get an external HDD and save your P.T demo on it. That's one way of making sure it won't get lost I guess.

The most convenient sort of livestock would be insects if you're going down that road: Dig in yo!

Played some more Shadow Warrior 2 and while it is indeed evident that it uses procedural generation, the mini-map does a fine job of not letting you get lost. But I'll be damned, the shooting is still every bit as fun as the first game and the weapons have been pretty fun to shoot so far. I had the same experience. I was having the time of my life with the game when all of a sudden it decided to crash on me while I was trying to capture a scene and it corrupted half of the files on my PS4...including my beloved P.T demo.

Well that's a shame, the first game ended up being pretty fun but I myself am not a big fan of procedurally generated levels. Come to think of it, are there any games out there that do an exemplary job at implementing procedural generated content in a game? I don't know when or where this started but I do remember a friend playing Hellgate: London back in the days. Even back then it turned out to be one of the weak points of that game and Flagship Studios died soon after the games release.

Shadow Warrior 2(PS4) The game is pretty much the same as its predecessor but the humor is really starting to wear off here, it can be pretty cringy at times. So -Combat is pretty much the same overall -Visuals are more detailed -The framerate is now a locked 30 fps instead of 60fps but that is obvious since it had to be sacrificed in favor of more visual detail -Just like the first game you have many graphical options such as an fov slider, motion blur and depth of field which is pretty interesting for a PS4 port of a PC shooter -Character models look pretty awful -The game tries to be less gory compared to the first game: more robot enemies and less humans and monsters -The story feels more straight-forward which is a good thing since I don't have a single clue as to what the hell happened in the first game Haven't had much chance to experiment with the loot system but I am not keeping my hopes up. Overall, it feels a little disappointing for the first 2 hours. Lets see how it goes from here. I am also busy with Yakuza 0 and I give Fallout 4 a spin from time to time. I also want to try Elex pretty bad but currently I have no more room left for more games and I very much like to finish Yakuza 0 before the year ends so I guess it won't hurt to wait a month or two before I buy Elex?! Maybe it will receive a patch or two until then.

My heart just melted.

Well, well, well...lookie here: http://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/news/how-activision-uses-matchmaking-tricks-to-sell-in-game-items-w509288 Now if all of that effort and money had went into making a good game, what would have happened I wonder...
