I picked up Splatterhouse, the graphics are pretty neat, but I had an awful itch to play a really bad horror game. . . in so far, I'm actually enjoying it.

Fairly linear story, but you don't need much since it's pretty much a button masher with a lot of gore.

Got home late last night, booted up the pc, loaded steam (per usual) and I noticed something funny, had a heart attack, then reached for my wallet.

Dawnguard.

Weekend: Hosed.

How is it? I considered picking it up - but honestly with the steam summer sale I'm inundated with new games.

It's good so far. Problem is with a L55 uberninja with 100 enchanting, 100 smithing, and 100 sneaking, everything's pretty easy.

I didn't get very far yet because Tinkerfest (And... I needed to fix my welder.)

I was shocked last night late by two things:

1) Minecraft 1.3.1, which has "trading with villagers" and a couple other new "actually noticeable" features.
2) I found myself starting a new RAGE playthrough so I'd have something I could use to shoot at stuff for a few minutes without having to think too much about it.

I'm basically waiting for Borderlands 2 and Dishonored. Everything else 'til then is a place holder.

CS: GO beta hit for us preorderers last night. It is fun - I REALLY like the changes they have made to the server finding system. I haven't looked - but I hope that I still have the ability to search for the dedicated servers running custom maps and mods. That is what has kept CS and CS:S going for so long (even CZ - the red-headed step child).

Also put in some time on Trine 2 the other night. Right in line with the original Trine - bed time story in video game format.

Been playing a TON of Just Cause 2 lately. Mindless destruction? Sign me up.

For my part, on Monday my desktop exhibited a remarkable flash, followed immediately by a popping sound before dying and filling the room with an acrid stench that's only now dying down.

I pulled the power cable with my feet (faster than bending over) and thought about it.

I've spent too damn much life playing games over the last 35 years.

I'm neither going to diagnose nor replace the thing. I'll pull the hard drives and attach them to my laptop to suck what information I can out of them, then put the whole thing in the basement to hold open doors.

enough is enough.

My point of view is that if I'm enjoying the time, then I'm not wasting it. But if you feel like gaming is stealing focus from more important things to deal with - then cut it off.

Best of luck

(If we played WoW right about now is when I would say "CAN I HAVE YOUR STUFF?" )

Heh. Indeed. I'm NOT trying to claim any high moral ground, and the imminent releases of Dishonored, Torchlight 2 and Borderlands2 are going to seriously test my mettle.

But I've just about literally spent 35 years getting home from work/school, plopping myself in front of the computer and pew pew pewing away, sucking away entire days in the blink of an eye. I do so enjoy it. But it's been at the expense of an awful lot.

I even bought a mac laptop last week so I could write on the train. Between that and a couple other things that have gone on in the last week. I'll take the synchronicity.

I've heard/seen good things about Guild Wars 2. I'm not picking it up for about a week, though. I'll wait and see how server stability is through this next week/weekend and then make a decision from there

Finally got around to installing and playing RAGE. Not great...but not bad.

yeah I liked RAGE. Nothing fancy. Trying DESPERATELY to hit the Borderlands crowd. Frankly I wish it was longer by about 3x.

GuildWars2 is absolutely amazing. Char cap of 5 is cramping my style with 8 classes. (none of those klunky dual class mechanics from 1.) There's a lot of neat things like ad hoc events (a la Warhammer and RIFT.) Your skills are based on what weapon combinations you have equipped. Crafting has recipe discovery in there. Account shared bank. And the classes are truly distinct some with mechanics that literally had me leaning back in my chair wide eyed. I may buy extra slots.

Max Payne 3 and GTA4 are bundled on Amazon today for $25. I'm thinking of it as "Max Payne 3 for 50% off - GTA4 for free!"
