The only game where the lag was so bad I died, respawned, and saw my corpse sprint past me

Yes, so, this is pretty fucking good.

It looks a lot like a combination of Minecraft and Yoshi's Island, maybe. I'm down.

I got Xenonauts. Deliciously X-Com like.

Call of Duty: World at War. It is still a great game if you like WW2 shooters.

Bruce Wayne as a cos-playing Crazy Man who Bludgeons other cos-playing Crazy Men (and the occasional cos-playing Crazy Woman) II - Surprisingly entertaining. Especially so, given my practically nonexistent tolerance for Super Heroics. The areas where you slowly pick off a group of mooks in various sadistic (yet, hilariously, non-lethal) ways as panic and revelations of uselessness steadily erode their bravado/vocal indications of prior Batman induced brain damage and augment their usual incompetence stand as an overall highlight. Not writing much, but better boss fights than Arkham Asylum. Also, remarkable attention to detail with regard to world building. Mostly excellent voice acting. Also, you can punch a shark (which wears a monocle ?). In light of some delightfully brutal combat techniques, I wouldn't be at all surprised by the possibility that the cowl is lying with regard to the ubiquitous 40bpm/unconscious readouts. Wouldn't put fugue states past him. Also, they managed to make Calendar Man vaguely menacing. Shame about the frequent cutscene induced idiocy, but that's hardly unusual in this medium. Also, missed Riddler's characteristic gradient of smug-scorn-disbelief-dismay-outrage as you snapped up his mcguffins as in AA. Though the occasional accusation of cheating when solving a reflex test in a less than textbook fashion was amusing. You can almost hear the sputum. Also, Saw ? Really ? Catwoman was fun, aside from the predator sections, which felt anemic due to a smaller selection of options. Mainly because she can sprint in complete silence and is ridiculously fast in combat. Could use a few more tools/techniques, though. Particularly a weapon breaker of some sort.

Pity all the other DLC is skins for characters, skins for rooms. Exciting !

Playing through Flashback again. Currently on the 5th screen, or wherever you first run into the green death laser thing.

mostly playing battlefield 3 with a buddy these days, flying attack choppers on jet/heli servers

Ya, I've been playing mostly BF3 atleast last week I was with guys on xbox live and occasionally on the PC. Only reason we play on Xbox is because one of my friends doesn't have the game on PC. Can't fly a jet on either system.

Skyrim on the PC, and Helium Boy or Sentinel 3 on my NookColor. Also, Diversion.

Been on Skyrim for about a month now with various characters. I'm not even cheating, and it is still quite entertaining. Can't wait for some decent mods to come out to fix the borked quests.

I keep trying to play other games, but I'm always ending back up on L4D2. I bought Arkham Asylum on a Steam sale a while back, but only played the intro before I started jonesing for zombie killing. I may have a problem.

Give Killing Floor a shot.

So, this is pretty good.

In less wonderful news, Jagged Alliance : Back in Action has unequivocally revealed itself to be a horrible disappointment. I know, I'm surprised too.

Behold :

I'm very much glad that 1.13 is extant. Yes.

What I'm not playing.

So few pixels, so many levels of retardo.

And on the subject, there's this. Some people clearly need one of these

. By that I mean a sharp pencil to the back of the skull.

The trailer for it looked pretty horrible but it kind of feels like it's from 2000 so that might be something going for it. Is it turnedbased or did they decide to try out real time or something stupid?

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2012 2:48 pm**

"Plan in turn-based, played out in real time"

however that pans out.

Sounds like Frozen Synapse. That game was okay but it felt kind of like a clusterfuck.

the writers guild award nominees have to be members of the writers guild to begin with. Kind of limits it, and its all really just a self-indulgent wank fest.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Why the fuck did I only discover this game now? It's fucking awesome! And people complain about modern day gaming. Pffft.

Game you're playing. How far you are.

Also : hats.

Should I be surprised by the absence of David Warner ?

No, that's not the nostalgia speaking.

does it count?
