What video games are you currently playing?

Ah, what a sale it has been...

I didn't pick up as many games as normal for these sales, but I think I got some real gems:

CS:GO - I haven't played it yet, but I'm planning to give it a go sometime this week
Castle Crashers - I played this a lot when it came out on XBLA a few years back. I'm excited to have it on PC and get back into it.
Dishonored - I played through a few minutes so far. I like what I see. This game will probably take a good chunk of my time over the next few weeks.
Dust: An Elysian Tail - This is a really solid game. I have put a few hours in so far and it is a ton of fun.
Faster Than Light - This game makes for such a fun way to blow an hour or two.
Organ Trail - Another fun way to blow an hour or two. Really good buy at less than the price of a coffee.

I also finally talked a friend into getting Orcs Must Die! 2, so I'm excited to get some co-op play on that one.

My summer is complete...

 

oh i know. i just as a general rule don't go too early for single player games as their experience won't change if time goes by and they seem to drop in price so fast. i save my money for games that drop below 10$ and multiplayer games where it's important to get in before the audience gets stale. also for newer games, ebay codes that activate on steam are a lot cheaper. i got bioshock inf. for 15$ by splitting a code w/ a friend who wanted crysis 3 and bagged blood dragon for free... deals like that are available constantly if you don't want to wait for the price to drop.

i'm very happy w/ my summer sale experience! i bagged dragon's lair for nostalgia @ 5$,system shock 2 for 2 fiddy, fallout 3 goty for 5$, the warframe starter pack because space ninjas, and poker night 2 for the tf2 unlocks and hearing the claptrap/brock samson dialogues.

even after i splurged and uncrated a couple tf2/dota 2 items, i got out for <30 bucks. how'd you all do?

 

haha cool. i wish i could get my walking dead to work. it won't even start up on my win7 64. i might have to get it on ipad when it drops.

in other news i joined dirtyrig's dota2 guild and played a fun match with him and a couple other people the other night. fun stuff! my favorite thing about dota2 so far is how much their is to learn and absorb; i get breakthroughs sometimes midgame and it's very rewarding.

 

Moto 13- Playing career. Enjoy it so far.
Borderlands 2
Metro Last Light-Enjoy this one a lot.
Black Ops 2
Bioshock 2
Resident Evil 6 and Revalations

 

I am a huge, unapologetic X-Com nerd. As such, the 2012 Enemy Unknown is my current project. Beat the vanilla version? Upgrade:

X-Com: Enemy Unknown (2012) Long War mod - Huge mod that really fleshes out the game experience

The modding scene for the new game is starting to get rolling and it's really exciting.

...

Some of you, however, may be unaware of the wide variety of indie X-Com: UFO Defense clones that have popped recently:

Open X-Com - Patches over your existing copy of UFOD, tons of new features

UFO: Alien Invasion - Stand-alone high res UFOD reload project

XenoWar - X-Com App game for your mobile device

...

Little in life is more satisfying than blasting a Floater with a heavy cannon.

Just sayin'.

 

dota 2's been going swimmingly. last week was the big pro event of the year and it had a lot in common with every basketball playoff series i've watched in terms of drama and back and forth excitement. i learned a whole lot about mechanics and strategy watching the pros. never have i felt a game make it so imperative to work together. also, because of the volume of options between heroes to play and items to spend gold on in game, it's very rewarding when you put notions together and implement them successfully. the other day i shot off a slow moving missile that chased down my target over 15 seconds and caught/killed him not 5 ft. from his healing home base. my team went nuts and it was one of the best rushes i've ever got from a game.

 

So I'm not much in a TFP mood tonight.
Does anyone play the new Sim City?
I'm player: zzqpz
I just started Jack Daniels Region.
It's public. Come visit

 

I meant Jack Daniels Joint
That is the name of my new region on the Oceanic2 server on Sim City
Someone come visit me
I'm player zzqpz

 

So this didn't work last time.
lets try again...

I've just joined a new region in Sim City on server Oceanic 2
It is called COME PlAY WITH ME
I didn't create this one, i just joined it tonight.
Sandbox mode is turned on.

Does anyone on the TFP play this game?
It's pretty good. Nothing lame like the Sims (no offence)
When i joined this region the creator gifted me 2,000,000 simoleons
I'll do the same now if someone joins us

 

Really interesting conference on PC gaming, from the programmers point of view.

Star Citizen, DayZ, and Oculus Rift look pretty much like the future to me.

Arma 3 is out next week - even if you don't like military sims - the Arma Editor feature makes it the best game ever.

 

i'm excited about titanfall and wildstar. mechanics make or break games for me and between the wall-running and parkour of titanfall and all the thought going into wildstar mechanics it should be a great 2014.

not to mention wasteland 2, project eternity, and torment tides of numenara sating my nostalgia and writing itches

 

The ole PC has been dusty of late. Been when I do play, Its Civ V Brave New World. Play thirsty my friends.....
