Started playing AdvertCity. It made me feel young again. I am squinting at the screen full of Syndicate era cyber-city-scape, trying to figure out what the hell I am doing and why.

I think they made a remake of Earthworm Jim.

You're trying hard not to show it, But Raithe, Raithe we know it You lost PoE feeling, Whoa that PoE feeling, You lost that PoE feeling, Now it's gone, gone, gone And you can't play on Wooooh

I thought you only play games you hate anyway?

Hmm, RPGs that pulled me in... Arcanum of Steamworks and Magik Obscura Vampire Bloodlines Dragon Age: Origins (for a bit then it went crashing down with the writing) Alpha Protocol Expeditions: Conquistador Pillars of Eternity (until I got to Defiance Bay, where I abandoned the game and haven't had the energy to go back)

Is anyone else backing this Lovecraftian rpg? Stygian https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1698219403/stygian-a-lovecraftian-computer-rpg "Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones" is a Lovecraftian computer roleplaying game of horror, loss and madness.

Played some more The Dwarves. First Beta Impressions: The game is fun. It also is very true to the book and its plot. The "swarm" mechanic for hordes of enemies does work rather well already. It is quite fun to see a dwarf leap into a bunch of orcs, scattering them. Or swinging a huge hammer and sending them flying. It may be the best simulation I have played for great heroes fighting hordes of minions. Remains to be seen though if the combat will keep feeling great or will with repetition feel gimmicky. Also remains to be seen if the game will manage, following the book's plot faithfully, to give replayability.

Was going to give someone else a chance to post first but nobody did

Playing The Dwarves beta. Played for an hour, then went to write a bug report. Then played for another hour. Having a lot of fun with it so far.

Tried playing Shayne and Aurox yesterday in Battleborn. Didn't expect it (and didn't use Shayne's stealth as it was a story mission), but this character is fun. Borderlands fun. They should make them a Borderlands dlc.

Probably. But they really... were not that good. The guy playing Rath should have wooped the floor with me. I went into that game expecting to spend all my time respawning.

You enter match making and when you look at the line-ups, the opposing team has only one player at lower rank than your team's highest rank, most of their players are more than double the rank of all but one player on your team (certainly closer to triple or even quadruple your rank), and to add to that, 4 out of 5 are a pre-made, with their fifth being rank 98 out of 100 (I'm a lowly 17). Then the match starts, someone says "We got this!" and after 8.5 minutes the opposing team surrenders... Either we were simply awesome, or high level pre-mades aren't what they used to.

Finished all eight story missions in Battleborn. Writing wise I find it an improvement over Borderlands. It is humorous without being immature - no midget jokes, no gay jokes or other attempts to be crass for the lulz. The missions are a bit like taking the main story missions from Borderlands and leaving out all the rest. So they are a tad disjointed when looking at the overall story, but you also are mostly spared boring fetch quests. They could have done more with the setting, and while another five missions will be added through the season pass, from the way the game is set up and the story ends, those will add more disjointed stories to the timeline and not flesh out the bits in between.

Worse with Battleborn where you get the single player missions and party banter to tease you even more.

That moment in Battleborn when you're the support but you're the only one attacking the enemy Sentinel because everyone else is god knows where gathering shards. Also: That moment in Battleborn when you're the support but you're the only one defending your Sentinel because everyone else is... no idea what everyone else is doing... But we won the last match

Yeah, I feel you. I don't know how often I had people down in unions, with every union having people able to revive, but nobody thinking it would be worth doing.

And then you try to figure out how to trigger more complicated things like the Black Hole spell edit: here is a Last Remnant memory of mine:

Do keep us updated on the quality of the SP campaign please. I hear it is too short. Which it probably is, seeing how at the moment it is 8 missions only. The setting is interesting. So far they have not done too much with it. The Prologue - Tutorial was fun and fairly good at giving info on the setting through the dialogue between characters. Missions 1 and 2 were fun, but the writing was limited to the kind of running commentary we are used to from Gearbox through Claptrap, Handsome Jack etc. With the nice art stye, I feel they could have made an animated series or graphic novel out of the story and done it more justice. I'll keep you posted though.

Started playing Battleborn. Seems fun. Bonus: the initial character is called Mellka. They have a typo in the name - I spell myself with one L - but close enough

Bought Battleborn at 65% discount. Now I can shoot stuff.
