Got carried away playing the final mission in the monthly in Anno 2070. When I finally beat it it was 7AM. Good thing its Sunday. Got a real shock watching my stats for the mission. 16 hours 47 minutes play time.... seeing how I played from around midnight to 7AM that kinda seemed odd. Game calculates how long it would have taken if it had been played at normal speed. Since I played a lot on fast forward, my actual 2 hours during the day and 7 hours at night were turned into over 16 hours in-game time Silly silly

I think you just called BruceVC fat. I mean, refering to him as "a bunch" ? Uncalled for. Really uncalled for

I started with a duchy (Saxony). I'd prefer to start as tiny as possible to truly manage to rise to power from humble-ish beginnings. Though at the moment I am more inclined to just start a new dynasty in The Guild. At least that game I understand what is going on

I'm sure you understood what he meant though. It's the internet. Understanding is like facts: manipulated to suit the poster's view

See, if that happened to me, I'd have three women not talking to me Though they may form a political party adn run in the next election with the slogan "Nothing is wrong. We aren't angry. But the thing that isn't wrong and the anger we are so not feeling are all Melkathi's fault". Decided to draw some teddy bears. For some reason all the pencils on my drawing table are wierd types: two 3Hs, two 3Bs, a 4H, a 6B and two Fs. What happened to the good ol' HB?

First impression of the game isn't all that positive. The ridiculous tutorial that states: "These are the additions since the previous game" does not help to improve my mood. Making a tutorial and then aim it at the people who already know the series It took a couple of minutes for me to break the tutorial; take it and run it against a wall, causing it such severe blunt trauma that it had to be taken to hospital with a severe concussion. After it got patched up (alt ctrl delete) I was nice to it and decided to avoid breaking it again. Not that it did much more than saying "Hi! This button here is called that" yay. Those tooltips I can get during the normal game... The game started and I was greeted by message spam: 30 messages on who supports who as heir to the Holy Roman Empire. Then armies started to move all over the place. Of course there were no messages about what my direct neighbours were up to. One province bordering to mine turned red. I would assume that meant we were at war, but who knows. At the same time, an army moved towards the province of a vassal of mine. I decided to raise my levies and send them there. My brother in law apparently did the same and we slaughtered the invaders. The provinces that army came from turned red as well with a note "holy war". Yay! I said to myself and send my armies on. One to aid a neighbouring province that was under siege by the pagans and one for a counterattack. My armies just stood there. Apparently I too had to declare war, it wasn't enough that they had attacked me. I tried to declare war but could not. The reason? I was not allowed to declare war while having raised my levies. So if I get attacked, I must raise my armies to defend, but to then press the enemy back I have to disband my armies to declare war? Errrrrrr.... this sounds as if something went seriously wrong with the game. I'll leave it for now and will give it another go at a later point.

DLCs too? Everything except the last one with them pagans

Its Saint's Row. It's all about blowing things up. Why should the Fourth Wall be spared? And if itsn't the Saints bashing it in with a big, purple nsfw object, then it would probably be Professor Genki turning it into a Murder Time - Fun Time attraction.

75% Off on Steam as of right now

It's a paradox deal until the 24th. So wait just before the weekend ends to see if it goes cheaper

As a citizen of the state in which something is rotten, I was certain you would know

[Curtains open: Enter Hurlshot stage right] Hurlshot: Alas, Mike! I know him well, Bruce: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath thumped me over the head a thousand times with a hockey stick

*waits patiently for Hurlshot to bring undisputable proof that he does in fact know Mike*

Yeah might as well wait through the paradox weekend and see how prices are going.

I have heard this said before. I can't remember that battle though. At all. So for me it must have been easy with Katarina kitted out.

Rajani is probably the worst part of the game. I think she is part of the reason why I didn't get far on my second playthrough.

Your patience paid off: TW2 70% off today.

When I turned 30 I realized that when I was 22 I really liked this girl who was dating a 30 year old guy. At the time I had been wondering how I could copete with a 30 year old. At 30 I realized that the only difference was that I no longer had any illusions about being 30 being anything special...

Nope Project Eternity hasn't released yet and thus has not yet been able to show me how it is truly unique or at least preferable over countless existing settings. Besides that, I haven't been able to get a proper gaming group togethe rin yeas so even if it turns out to be awesomesauce, I wouldn't be able to play anyway.

I havent played the original, But just read the article on kotaku about Tales of Xillia 2 and at least the story of the second game seems interesting.

Good luck. If I see you on Steam before that, I'll shout at you to go study

Endgame stuff is not the problem. The problem this game does have for people playing together is that certai instanced missions in the main story are locked to just the player and auto-disband the team. So you happily play as a group, driving around (some later vehicles even are designed for more than one player), shooting stuff ~pew pew, then you reach the bunker and entering it disbands the team. Then both players have to solo the instance and team up after completing it. Don't know if its a bug or some idiotic design decission. It's annoying either way and something to consider before purchase, I guess.

Sounds more fun than plain WWF

At least you didn't comment on my typo. What the hell does "ridiculopus" mean ?

That's not fun I tried playing it on PC, but controls were akward and the screen was flickering. Witha huge backlog of games to play, I just couldn't put the effort in to try and make it playable.
