I got DoW3 from ShadySands' Giveaway. Tried playing the campaign. But it's one of those that has you alternating between factions, and I feel that is the lazy man's solution for having every faction playable in single player without making a campaign for each. It cuts up the flow of the campaign though and forces players to play factions they don't care about. So meh.

I'm weird with time, but the season is pretty relaxed work-wise.

For some reason ended up playing Black Survival today. It's a F2P multiplayer PvP game with visual novel UI/aesthetics? The concept is Battle Royal. The players are on an island. They have to kill each other. Some zones are designated restricted and staying in those will kill you. You move from zone to zone, search, hope to find the loot you need to craft better equipment, hope to find water and food to keep you alive, and hope you only run into other player when you are at full health. Business model seems to be LoL style. Free character rotation, and they'll make their money through skins and stuff. The PvE practice games I found quite easy. Done some Mouse League PvP. Got into the top 5 on my fourth game, and won my 5th. I got lucky there though. Managed to find ingredients to craft a super strong magic battle axe, killed an opponent with it who had crafted some nifty crusader armour. Looted the armour just as the beach we were fighting on got designated restricted. A couple of players must have ran away from opponents and hidden in restricted areas, as they got executed by the game. One person died of exhaustion.

Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to do that either What were your backstory choices?

A couple of those could easily have made it onto my list as well. After all, whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen.

I shall post a list later as well

Hmm, I started as a Void Psyker myself, and it definitely is one of the harder starts. You need a second character asap. A Cyberninja would make sense as they are DPS, but a Soldier is also a solid choice. Second hire should be a Hacker. If you pick missions, grab one that has you interact with a terminal. That way you can try to find the terminal and then run back out and not clear the whole map. Did you do the full tutorial including finding the secret room? I think that was enough money for a hire.

I wonder, you always hear about the drama queen, yet we never hear about the drama king. Where is he? Has he passed on? Is he having a secret affair with the duchess of comedy? I think he got turned into a llama by a witch who found toads too cliche.

He sure does. Though I had hoped I could get the squid-bunny as a character edit: and the game was not proof read by someone who really speaks English

It's a curse.

Bionic Battle Mutants

But obviously not when compared to SR4

I hated the driving in sleeping dogs.

Yeah. I think that was my reaction as well.

Torchlight, Torchlight 2, Hob. Though I didn't play Hob yet.

Did I miss the discussion about Runic getting shut down?

Finally off on vacations tomorrow, so playing for 9 days. But I started a playthrough of Spellforce 2 this week in anticipation of Spellforce 3 in December.

Still a lot, but better

So I was looking at the Steam Deus Ex Franchise Sale. Mankind Devided Digital Deluxe Edition (the game + season pass) 22,39 Euro Deus Ex Collection Bundle (Deuys Ex, Deus Ex Invisible War, Deus Ex The Fall, Deus Ex Mankind Devided, Mankind Devided Season Pass (I already own Human Revolution)) 19,03 Euro. (And still not buying it, what with my backlog)

Next article reads: Obsidian Forum regular poster Labadal distances himself from NeoGAF. "I wasn't in the loop in anything about this," Labadal wrote on the Obsidian Forum, and ended his post, like so many other former NeoGAF readers, saying "time to find a new news aggregator."

Seems like a sound choice.

I think I have turned into a pure casual gamer. Saw screenshots of D:OS2 with the inventory open, and I thought I was looking at a Match-3 game.
