    weekend gaming 03/09/2012

    Haven't done this in a few weeks as I've been recovering some a horrendous oral surgery incident. But the healing is progressing nicely now so I'm ready to get my game on again!

    This weekend I'll be trying to save Earth in Mass Effect 3, saving the universe in SW: TOR, and maybe saving a frozen wasteland in Skyrim.

    That's a lot of heroic saving. I'm pooped just thinking about it!

    You?

    I'll likely be playing more Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning if I have time, but also some Distant Worlds - Legends as well.

    In SW: TOR, my trooper just picked up a new companion who insists on calling me Leftenant, which I love.

    While I've had Mass Effect for years now, I'm finally getting around to playing it after working out a sound bug where dialog wasn't playing properly.

    I'll also probably be playing a bit of WoW as my girlfriend wants to hit 85 on one of her characters.

    I have so much time now that football season is over!

    While I suspect the motherboard on my PC is slowly trying to die, I'll probably try to fit in some Wargame: European Escalation between random hard locks (the next one will cause me to instantly order a handful of new PC components I've pre-selected). I might also crack open either Mario Kart 7 or Tales of the Abyss 3D, the latter of which should be waiting for me when I get home today. We'll have to see.

    Wow - ME3, TOR and Skyrim in one weekend. I am impressed. I am setting Skyrim aside while I focus completely on ME3, personally, but I admire your ambition.

    I'd been planning on getting down to Mass Effect 3, but the alleged face import bug might stop me.

    Glad that you're feeling better divorced!

    I hope to be able to put some hours into Mass Effect 2 which I started last week.

    Then I got Football Manager 2012 which is a genre I haven't dealt with in quite a long time. Hope I have "clear head" to tackle that beast now for a bit.
    Maybe I will go for a relaxing Hidden Objects game instead if I can grab my gf's laptop.

    Polishing off a few extra quests in Mass Effect 2 to get my save file up to snuff, then importing into ME3. I'll then proceed to spend the weekend explaining to my fiancee why I should play my new videogame instead of hanging out with her (despite the fact that she's been gone on a distant island all week); feel incredibly guilty for giving EA a single-fucking-dime of my hard-earned money to reward them for all the stupid things they've done with the ME3 launch; and maybe, if I ever find the time, playing ME3.

    On the PC, I'll be making my way through the darkness with Alan Wake, which has been a lot fun, more than I had expected for this port. Tight controls, a good mix of gunplay and exploration and a spooky atmosphere set in my wonderfully wooded home state. (Yeah, Washington)

    On the consoles, Tiger Woods 12, online with a buddy. Best golf game ever.

    In the real world, an evening of cribbage on the couch with my girlfriend.

    I love weekends!

    Picked up Child of Eden for 12 bucks at Target. Definitely going to get in another playthrough of Journey. Might start fiddling with Street Fighter x Tekken.

    I have ME3, BF3, and MLB The Show 12 lined up.

    I will be able to play none of them, since I am spending the next week suffering in the sun of Arizona, drinking margaritas, and watching baseball.

    God damn it.

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my gaming PC, so I plan to check out Just Cause 2 this weekend. Also, Issue 22 was released this week for City of Heroes, so I might spend some time going through the new content.

    I will play / have played some Shogun 2. I just hit the realm divide in my Ikko Ikki campaign, so things should get even more interesting. Even the friendly faction declared war immediately, so now I have no money at all.

    World of Warcraft is also on the agenda. I resubbed recently after 11 months off. I've been having fun with some lower level characters, but I think I'm still done with raiding.

    I've sunk 7 hours into part 3 of the ANNO 2070 crisis event, and its probably going to take all weekend.

    Damn fun time sink.

    I'm feeling the hankering to go back to my Witcher 1 savegame, of all things.

    I'm in between jobs, so I look at it like I have a 5 day weekend. Going to play The Saboteur which I have from Gamefly. Also going to try to knock out some backlog and send them to Amazon for some credit. Backlog seems to be Alone in the Dark, condemned 2, and assorted others.

    HELP ME!!!!!!

    I'm disgusted with myself. Backlog is ridiculous and I just don't know where to begin. There's Skyrim which I haven't touched in a month, for fear of getting hooked again and playing for hours at a time and not having time for other things.

    I got 10 games for the PSP in the last 6 weeks, in addition to 8 PSOne classics downloaded in the last 6 months that I haven't even touched. I have a ton of DS games as well (Strange Journey, x-mas present from 2 years ago, only about 10 hours played, DQ IX, father's day present last year, only about 15 hours played, still have only messed around with GTA Chinatown Wars and I bought it on RELEASE DAY!)

    Have about 10 Xbox 360 games I've barely touched. Want to finish ME2 which I did play a lot for a bit, so I can start ME3. Add to that the 7 or 8 GOG games I've gotten in the last 2 months plus I got Torchlight and World Of Goo from some of the fine folks here who had extra copies and sadly haven't found time to play them much.

    Maybe I should quit gaming!

    Dude, don't quit, just play a bit of each. ;-)

    Wait a minute -- you are surrounded by awesome games and that's the conclusion you reached?

    You know what you have to do.

    Assume the position and do not leave until you have finished something!

    I shouldn't be doing any gaming at all this weekend, but as a reward to myself I started up a game of Chaos Gate, the turn-based tactical Warhammer 40k game. And I've gotta say - how amazing is this thing? I may have to start a separate thread. I could just sit here all night and listen to the music and click on inventory buttons. Ok I need to go capture this RELIC from a CULTIST TEMPLE!

    I'm invested in Skyrim but have not played in a week or two; probably should advance that a bit.

    But I've also purchased some new games like Dead Island and Football Manager 2012 that I have not cracked yet.

    Hmm. Decisions. But this is a bachelor weekend for me so 'sky's the limit'. Don't cry for me.

    I've been enjoying NecroVision: Lost Company quite a lot lately, so I'll probably be doing more of that. I've owned it for over a year now, but something finally clicked, and I'm having a lot of fun.
    Only bad thing: I play FPS games with inverted mouse, and this game of course supports that, EXCEPT for the stupid Fly The Airplane level, which is tough as nails, and does NOT support the inverted mouse. Even going into the mouse settings and un-checking it makes no difference. I made it through, but it was a bitch, and required every once of determination on my part to fight my instincts, which have been pretty well ingrained after 19 years of playing FPS games and flight sims.

    I will probably finish up Still Life 2. I heard nothing but bad things about it so I didn't give it a chance after loving the first game. It's definitely a step down from the original in every regard, yet I've been casually enjoying it. They really screwed up when it came to the puzzles though. I remember the puzzles in the first game being mostly self-contained which I loved. In the second game it's mostly: find an item to use on an item to get an item to use on the item to combine with another item and use on a item.
