GAMERSPAGS - THE REVIVAL

[Telarus]

I'm waiting on Torchlight 2 to get my multiplayer fix.  I'll bump this thread when it's available.

[Forsooth]

Finally finished downloading DeusEx: Human Revolution that i bought on Steam earlier this week. Only played for an hour, but seems pretty cool, aside from a cliched, gritty, male player character

[Richter]

Playing Diablo 3 right now.  Cleared normal difficulty as a frenzy / AoE Barbarian, repeating with a witch doctor doing DPS / pets blend.  Comes off more functional than the D2 necromancer doing skeletons or golems. 

I'd like to see more content or I'll likely be done with it and on to torchlight as my main fix in a few months.

Currently my gaming tiem is 3 hours a week, at best.  IF I follow Roger's advice and go play Civ, my life will likely go away.

Diablo 3 has a serious boredom problem at inferno mode because nothing is different. I did play it the day of release and during beta however so things i know have changed a bit. Basically what they had done for each difficulty while they were working on getting their moneymaker up [real money auction house] is multiply damage by 100 and health by 1000 which in itself made normal---->hell = cakewalk
and hitting inferno RIDICULOUS, as in demon hunter with 75% resistance and 70k hp one shotted by cats with fire potions.

On the upside, there IS an actual place in there called Whimseyshire where you get to kill chubby pink unicorns, twinkleroot and cuddlebears.
I think Diablo is still installed so if you want a free trip there let me know I'll log and pen the portal.

While I enjoyed LOGD a lot, and indeed a lot of PD people joined in, you didn't really *notice* they were there, very much. At least, not in any particular way that made the game more fun than if you'd play it by yourself. A lot like a group of people all playing the same solitary game, with the occasional message wall to remind you that they're actually there.

Otherwise, the closest I currently get to actual gaming is teaching a few kids at the Young Researchers how to write mods for Minecraft in Java. I can proudly say that I still have only a very vague idea what the game is about, yet we did manage to code a mod, get it to compile and it worked--mostly

And disable that browser plugin ASAP because those bumbling motherfucking MORONS at Ubisoft thought it was a good idea to have their (completely unnecessary) auto-installed browser plugin execute arbitrary commands without signing or authentication or anything ...

it basically means anyone that can get you to click a link, can completely 0wn your b0x. and it's pretty trivial to do, as well.
(the example link at pastehtml merely starts up Windows Calculator for you, to demonstraet ..)

[The Dark Monk]

Ubisoft is the masters of disaster through bad set up, bad customer relations, and bad coding. Not really a fan of any of those games either to be honest lol but it is good info for everyone's b0x, especially since assassin's creed (lower-cased because of suck) is huge amongst the little ones.

This is true, though I did have my hands in it's customization for quite a bit when I wasn't working Radio TDM, that made it quite memorable.
Thinking up names and enemies to fight was quite pleasurable

[Reginald Ret]

I had a lvl 1 scientist in urban dead, i totally forgot about that game. I found myself lying in a cemetery with some kind of infection. Luckily i had some first aid kits.

I found a barricaded safehouse in West Grayside, Dampney Grove Police Dept.
The generator is out of fuel in case someone happens across some fuel and feels like dropping by.
There is one other guy here, lvl 23 civilian called Dalkorian.
I don't really know how to play this game but it should be more fun if we can get a group together in one safehouse.

Oh right! I almost forgot about that That was really what made it great fun to play indeed

I actually play in a group with it's own forum, based in the extreme west of the map, called the Dunell Heights Police Department. There are links to the forum in the Wiki, which is itself linked from the game. You could just join me in that group, and coordinated play is much more fun! I am  DocktorPixie and my player profile and ID is http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2030397.

We could totally do with some rookies.

I was already moving west because i saw some empty areas there. I should have known you were there from the lack of zombies.

For all you steampunks:
There is a game on steam in beta right now called Guns of Icarus Online, not to be confused with Guns of Icarus (not online.)
Currently 3 airships, crews of 4, and about 10 different weapons for each ship, which includes a hot air ballast, two engines, and since this is steampunk, a boat deck. I'll see if I can get some screenshots in.
Basically the captain flies, the rest of the crew manages repairs and the weaponry to blast the others out of the sky! You run around the ship and should you get hit, bust out your rubber mallet and start fixing it, but OH SHIT there's the enemy on our port side! You must make a choice! FLEE? Never. MAN THE GUNS! Fire that electric harpoon and sink them! The chaingun needs repair! Quickly!

Shared for love of videogames ^.^

I am going to college starting this week, and this is a major step for me. For those of you who have read my story and know me in even greater depth than that, this is a huge step in my life and I wanted to celebrate. I am trying to win some games for steam on listia and everything I win I will be sharing with random people who have posted in this thread
If you are interested, let me know! I will be using a random name generator to pick out the winners. If you would like to opt out, let me know as well I would like to share my passion with my friends, and this is my way of showing it. If everything goes well, I'll have a few things to toss around in 40 hours

[The Johnny]

better enjoy games while you can, once you start college, and if you mean to take it seriously, you wont have time to juggle everything like friends, staying healthy or family, if i dont fail my thesis ill probably write about my experience

[The Dark Monk]

The good news is mixing friends and games is one and the same. With Guild Wars 2 coming out however, even though I own it I know I won't be playing much if at all. All my courses are online this time which is a good start for me. Staying healthy has never been an issue, because i am the sickly puppy of my genetics lol I'm lucky if I eat once a day without the need for vomit or shits. I do have priority of school in all regards, though on a lunch break I might shoot some robots for 15 minutes in between.
