The downside of a long gaming history... too many to chose from, as any "era" (or decade) would have it's top 3. New/Modern RPG's my top 3 would be Fallout 2 Planescape: Torment Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn They were great games and are still fairly recent. Earlier games (1980's and early 90's on the c64 and Amiga) still impressed me more in some ways, but they may not be something people would agree are "RPG" by todays standards. Edit to add some examples: Ultima IV Rogue Lords of Midnight (still my all time favourite game, any genre, hands down, even beating Elite)

Not sure how long each of my two toons took, a grand total of 3 hours to get a human warrior to 5 and a blood elf mage to 7. Bear in mind, I had to learn the mini map, the vendor locations (which all seem to follow a pattern), watching cinematics, getting a feel for how much opposition I could handle without getting myself killed and listening to all the dialogue from the quest givers (since I've never seen them before) etc. etc. Also spend (wasted) some time trying to change the quick bars, but gave up eventually.

I joined the dark side and gave WoW a try. The starter pack is free after all. Through perseverance, I made it to level 7 before I gave ip. I was bored mindless and regretted the 30+ gb download. At least it didn't cost me any money edit: still, it's better than Black Desert Online which I tried when they had a free weekend. Spend triple the time on the character designer than I did in-game, only making it to level 2 before uninstalling.

No Was and LoF were the same person, Oby came after. Right you are

I wonder if Wals and Oby was the same person... like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were the same person

Hey, it's spelled g r e y !!!

I know its not an international custom, but you you celebrate Halloween in your country? Should children be prevented from trick-or-treating? Can't speak for all countries of course, but I'm fairly sure it's unknown in it's US form in Scandinavia (Denmark has something similar, but themed around witch burning) and neither Germany, UK, NZ or Australia knows it as anything other than "that US thing"

I've taken a liking to this lately... while tasty on it's own, it's like it was made for Camomille Tea (which is how I discovered it in the first place, felt sorry for myself while having a cold).

I got it on a steam sale. On my to-do list for the upcoming weekend.

No videos, but if anyone is planning on watching 'The Wizard of Oz' in your own country/city, I can warmly recommend it. It was a fantastic performance.

Playing it safe, moved to spoiler friendly forum Yeah, need more tentacles in video games

why would that annoy anyone? It's a shallow game, Diablo with guns or whatnot. But I found it that type of genre fun. It was also great to play with my husband. That's it. ... in terms of E3, what about Bethesda? They put a pic on their twitter that seem to imply ... something. Not that I care much about them these days. What projects to they have in the works? lol Thanks. I understand that Borderlands has its own fanbase and I didn't want to offend said fanbase, so I gave a bit of a warning before I stated that I found the games to be boring. Nothing wrong in not liking it. Different tastes and all that I can tell you what the attraction was for me, it was the dark humor, the absurdity of the characters (Handsome Jack is my all time favourite villain) and the bizarre dialogue at times. No other games will ever have a mission like the one where you have to shoot Face McShooty in the face, nor any dialogue that hilarious. Characters and voice actors were top notch (Obsidian could learn something).... But most of all, the game was awesome in coop and I had the luck of playing most of it with two friends. No end to the hilarity when trying to "raise" a Goliath from infancy to GOD-Liath Ultimate Mega-Badass difficulty in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. It was like being proud parents Just to wipe afterwards getting swamped by psychotic midgets with cleavers. Yeah, good times. I managed to get a character to level 72 and pass the first challenge at Digistruct Peak, so now OP1 ("Overpowe Level 1", which means all enemies are now one level higher than they would be for a level 72)

Where are the Borderlands 3 news??? /cry

Nier: Automata and Gary Grigsbys War in the East (already had Gary Grigsbys War in the West)

I sometimes log in on Star Forge and Darth Malgus just for the nostalgia bits. Running a flashpoint or uprising if I can find anyone up for the more challenging ones. It can be days/weeks between logins though. I should probably practise a bit on starparse, I'm seriously losing my touch on my shadows/assassins. Barely getting close to 10k dps these days and that with mostly 246/248 gear. Used to do 10.5k regularly with those toons. Maybe they nerfed them. Bleh, who cares. Borderlands 2 is more fun anyway Edit: If anyone wants to do something some day on one of those two servers, just message me. Star Forge: 'Unfulfilled Destiny' pub side, 'Malevolent' imp side Darth Malgus: 'Blind Justice' pub side, 'Opal' imp side I mostly login pub side though.

Iirc you can freely pause the game in single player mode? While you can do that in multiplayer mode, we don't, rather just let the game run at fast speed and then take the punch on the nose it gives

Maybe it's my imagination, but there seems to be a big "gap" in difficulty in Age of Empires II between Standard and Moderate difficulty. A single AI enemy wiped the floor with the two of us teaming up against it Edit: We could take on two AI's on standard (we actually lost, but it was a closely contested fight, bastard AI had nicked all the relics, which is a winning condition)

I was taught swimming in the North Sea. Not particularly pleasant (rather frigid waters), but you had to make do with what you had. Pools are a luxury that only some schools have access to. Making last preparations for a trip to Melbourne. Looking forward to watching The Wizard of Oz as a stage production (musical)

The onboard Intel "Gfx" were just too awful. Bought the cheapest card I could find that would work as a stop gap solution. Got myself a 4GB Asus GTX 1050 Ti. I was positively surprised actually, only game that struggles so far is The Witcher III, but I could tone down the settings a bit. Everything else it runs almost as well as my old laptop (Gtx 880m card with 8GB) Even better, the single fan makes no audible noise, the whole thing being drowned out by the rather noisy WD Black HDD's When not seeking on the disks, I have to really struggle to hear the PC at all, even when under load.

Not going to link to it... but last game i bought was 'Genital Jousting' from Steam. The single player mode is fun enough, but we need to find a few more players for multi-peen play Edit: Actually bought a second game just before it that I can link to...

Sorry, no youtube video. We're going Melbourne to see this in about 3 days from now. I'm really looking forward to it http://www.wizardofozthemusical.com/tickets/melbourne/

Sounds like me and Dragon Age Inquisition... Maybe in ten years time?

I really tried to like Overwatch.... Got no less than 4 good friends who play it several times a week. I just couldn't get interested in it. Edit: When not playing Borderlands 2 and Age of Empires 2 (both in 3-4 people co-op sessions), then I enjoy The Witcher III and Master of Orion 2

Yes, new accounts need a number of approved posts before they can post without approval. In case anybody wonders why, you should see the number of unapproved spam posts by bots that gets removed before people see them

Yeah, the "better" ones seems to be around USD $1100 here at the moment. It might be possible to find it cheaper overseas (with the risk that comes with that) Edit: By comparison the price for the rest of the build (including OS and Office) was USD $2500 in todays exchange rates (got the ram cheap from Newegg)
