Marvel Heroes 2016

Kerbal Space Program.

I have discovered that the game is smarter than I am. This may be a Waterloo moment for my gaming hobby. There's some mountains that are just too tall to climb.

I've only played the demo of this game but man even that sucked away a week of my gaming time. Fantastic, amazing gem. I don't think something as "simple" in a video game as achieving orbit has ever given me so much pleasure. I never even made it anywhere near the Mun.

But I'm just sitting there at my monitor, big smile on the face doing the '60s NASA voice through a cupped hand "Houston.... we have... settled... into stable orbit... over *tszzch*"

I've watched videos of people putting gardens and solar panels and all kinds of shit on other planets. Too much for me. I can't get even to the goddamn moon. I'm a stupid American. We just strap shit to rocket engines and hit the GO button. Apoapsis? That a city in Greece? Don't give me that science shit. I'm trying to run a space program here.

Final Fantasy VI
Not a good port, but still fun to play

LOL speaking of gems ;) I think anyone able to come up with a great series of lines like those above should be fine in Kerbal.

Linux - The Bridge
WinXP - The Banner Saga
GPD Q9 (Android handheld) - Blood Omen

All three are pretty good.

The Witcher 2: AoK and Terraria

Divinity: Original Sin on my NEW PS4!
Had this for just under a week and I have already sunk 30 hours into it.
And it doesn't help that in the UK the clocks went forward 1 hour this morning so I have had even less sleep!

I would be playing Van Helsing (which I picked up in the Insomnia sale) but had to get a refund on it due to constant crashing :( So I've gone back to playing Avadon - The Black Fortress although I keep having a quick blast of Din's Curse too. Too many games, too little time... :)

Shifting between a heavily modded Oblivion and ARK.

If you can get ARK, I highly recommend it. You don't have to play as an MMO, you can do the single player which I am enjoying very much. There is enough to kill you easily in the game that you don't need asshats to make it challenging. Also, there is a steep learning curve, and I recommend looking up the wiki to get started. Also, you gonna die. you gonna die a lot.

oh, did i mention you can tame and ride dinos? yeah, there are dinos and they are beautiful. actually the whole damn game is breathtaking. go play it. now. :)

Playing the simulator missions of Freespace: Silent Threat. Basically these, but the originals, not the HD remake as in these videos:

These are basically fan-made missions which were included to the Silent Threat expansion pack as single missions. I think I mentioned earlier that generally these feel even better and more polished than most Freespace campaign missions. This manifests itself with the difficulty level, which to me feels is less frustrating that in many campaign missions. The makers of these missions have apparently chosen not to use similar irritating design decisions as in main campaign, like throwing endless stream of enemy fighters at you.

However, the mission Hunted (number 17?) seemed to have some scripting bug. You are supposed to disable and capture at least two of the three enemy ships which are fleeing, while fighting several waves of enemy fighters. At least in Insane difficulty, it seems the best option is that you do the disabling, with e.g. a light bomber with Stiletto missiles.

So I tell all my wingmen to engage enemy, while I try to concentrate on disabling the engines of those three ships before they go too far. the other option for you is to also engage enemy fighters and after they are destroyed, go for the escaping ships, but they tend to get quite far by then.

After lots of retries, I was able to disable the engines with dual-Stilettos on those three ships. Whenever some enemy fighter was on my tail, I had to tell all wingmen to concentrate on fighting it, instead of whatever they were fighting at the time.

So there I was, three disabled enemy ships, and no more enemy fighters around, and I still had most of my wingmen alive. Problem was that nothing happened after that. Was there supposed to come some shuttle or something to actually capture the disabled enemy ships? I never saw any such coming.

I think there is a scripting bug possibly in that Hunted mission. I apparently played too good(!), disabling them faster than I should have, because apparently when they get closer to the jump point, more enemies (including one bigger ship) should appear, and maybe at that point also any friendly capture ships?

Instead of trying to replay the game again as the developer apparently wanted me to play, I decided to skip it. For all I care, I fulfilled the mission objectives, but the game wouldn't register the mission as successful because I was doing it too successfully. Oh well, at least you can simply skip to the next mission in the simulator missions...

I'm now playing the 19th mission, "Into the Fire".

Heavily modified Oblivion? What, you mean more than just horse armor? *rimshot*

Playing Ruse. Or R.U.S.E. if you prefer. Anyone into it? The game is not on sale anymore but I might like to try MP...

haha. i added so much crap, it's like i'm playing a new game. new quests, the cities are completely redone. it's fun.
