    Dear Esther, which came out today. Loving it, but I knew I would, as I loved the Mod. Second replay of the Darkness II, great story, loved the action. Finally of course BF3 for my online gaming needs. :)

    I think I am going to have to pull myself away from BF3 and start up something new... Need to decide now between Skyrim, Alan Wake, and Mass Effect 2.

    At the moment I am playing Alan Wake, but I did finish the game when it was first out for Xbox. But I figured out that it was worth playing again, because of great gameplay, the immersive story the better graphics.

    The steam version I bought also included the DLC content, and I have not played that yet.

    I might continue playing some BF3 after that, only lvl 39 ;)

    Finished Dear Esther 4 times. I Want to be playing Alan Wake now, but Nvidia are pretty low with the Sli profile fix, in fact AMD had a crossfire fix out first. I do believe the 3rd seal of the apocalypse has been broken if AMD is releasing drivers faster than Nvidia, the end is nigh. :(

    I'm playing "Waiting for a Origin representative to check WHY my recently activated ME1 doesn't appears anywhere"

    lost the game. It seems I was playing "Oblivion", or Payday, EA being the robbers. Ok. No more Origin for me, I'm affraid my keys get lost there (and I'm not the only one)

    Don't worry, you're not the only one. My BF2 soldier disappeared and apparently it was transferred onto someone elses account and my C&C4 is "lost' forever (there goes 50$). This happened last year sometime and it took 15-20 people to get my soldier back, however I could never get my C&C4 game back which had over 80%+ pvp win ratio in competitive play that I worked extremely hard to achieve.

    ---

    But yeah, been playing Heroes III around 3-4hrs/day in Hotseat mode. Forgot how time consuming this game was (and fun!) ;) Tried the Command & Conquer: Generals/Zero Hour mod too today that adds new units/maps, etc. and it's something I will also be playing for the next few weeks. For those who enjoy Generals, there's a popular mod pack releasing on the 23rd.

    Guess im lucky dealing with the Norwegian branch then.
    I contacted them on why my ME2 game would stop downloading at 99.99% and reset back to 92%.

    I have no idea what they did but after that it completed the install and i did not even get the lame restart computer or reinstall Origin bull.

    Right now I'm trying to take it from the funny side. I'm glad I didn't buy it from Origin... and never will

    I chat with someone I believe was from India (based on the name). After 1 hour waiting for his "investigation", the connection broke and have to start all over again with other robot called "Biswajeet". an hour later he told me my key was invalid, told him several times I succesfuly activated it through the webpage and received confirmation mail, show him my Steam tab, confirmation numbers... but one can't argue with robots (forget about the first two rules, Asimov)... so I let it go :D

    Anyway... Now I just CAN'T stop playing Killing Floor. So I don't know what or when I'll be playing another game. Dungeon Defenders get updated by the 76th time and I still did't touch the game :p

    Jagged Alliance - Back in action (I'm an xcom, Jagged alliance 2 fan :p).

    far from a perfect game, but if you like tactical squad based semi turn based action. it's ok, although if you came from a jagged alliance 2 and expecting the same quality/complexity it will be a big disappointment :D

    Given the choice, I would never buy anything off Origin again. I bought Amalur off Amazon since it was cheaper but have had nothing but issues with it on Origin. The initial installation didn't work and I had to go through extra hoops to get it working. Everyday, it told me there was an update but it could never install it. Recently, it just wiped the game completely from my computer (how does that even happen?!) and I had to re-download it. If I hadn't made a backup of my saves, I would have lost all of my save files. I still lost about 2 hours of gameplay time.

    The $10 I saved wasn't worth it. I'm getting everything off Steam from now on if I can help it (curse you, Mass Effect 3)

    I'm swapping back and forth between Dark Souls and Skyrim. >>; They are both on my list of "top games ever" with Dark Souls being above Skyrim. I don't think Skyrim deserves ALL the craze and hype it gets, but I'm glad it's getting it because TES fandom and has grown which is nice. For the last month or so I've been solely Dark Souls all day errday basically, beaten it quite a few times, enjoyed PvP A LOT until I lost online, 360 ftl. ;_; So after that, I kinda just gave up on Dark Souls, because PvE was boring at that point, and returned to Skyrim, which I "beat" but I still felt like there was more to do. So I'm back to playing that now, which is nice. I pretty much never stray from the RPG side of things because everything else is either boring to me or I suck at it, which leads me to disliking it. :< Cannot wait for KoA. <3

    I stay with Steam + Amazon + GOG. Maybe I'll give gamersgate a chance in a near future. But if a game requires Origin to play, I'll pass that game from now on.

    I'm now really hanged with BFBC2. BTW, one question about MP: I know I'm bad because I'm noob, but right now I have almost triple death over kills. I'm chosing maps with fewer players, but they always are of greater rank and butchered me all the time. The question: It is a matter of personal gaming skill or you gain skills through the game? I know is about teamwork, and you earn more points that way... I love points and ranking, but I don't want to die so easily xD

    I recently got sucked back into WoW, and the LFD and LFR works really well with my limited and erratic schedule. Otherwise, a game of LoL now and then is always exciting.

    The game I'm really looking forward to, is Tera. Those graphics are just insane (coming from WoW and FFXI).

    I recently bought and began playing The Witcher 2.
    I have to praise this game for multiple reasons. Firstly, rpgs rarely hold my interest for more than an hour to a day, but TW2 has definitely budged its way through my "gamer ADHD". Secondly, I commend the game for offering a challenge in the difficulty. I pride myself on only playing games on the hardest(excluding hardcore 1 death only) setting offered since I believe that's how games are designed to be played at. As with other games, I dialed up TW2 to "Dark mode" and I found it was actually too difficult to learn the game on this setting for me, as I have no prior experience with the first game and little rpg experience in general. So, I turned down the difficulty until I learned all the various keybinds(there's an uncommonly high amount of starting skills in this game, which I believe attributes to its learning curve). Now back on "dark", the game is challenging, has a fairly engaging story, eye-candy graphics, and somewhat unique feel to the overall play-style which together give me a very enjoyable experience.

    Currently playing Mass Effect 1. Got two playthroughs going: My Soldier femShep is on level 51, while I have a Vanguard manShep currently around level 20.

    Planning to play the following:
    Mass Effect 2
    Mass Effect 3
    Street Fighter IV
    Borderlands

    I'm open to any suggestions. It's only recently that I've been able to have a PC with a decent GPU onboard.
