I'm also playing through Dust: An Elysian Tale. That's a fun game too with an excellent story (and humorous in bits too).
My six year old is playing through that one. She loves it.
I loved that game too, although it kept crashing in between the first and second boss fights, so I gave up trying to get to the end.
-
Have not seen it crash so far.
-
They probably patched it by now - this was back when the game first came out.
-
One of the many advantages to me buying my games long after they have already been out and patched.

True - you should join this subreddit: reddit.com/r/patientgamers
-
Ha ha, that's hilarious.
-
I'm trying to catch up with you but you keep buying so many. I'm up to around 450 games now.
-
I've slowed down a lot, mostly because I already own everything I'd want to play
-
Way more than everything that you want to play, I am guessing!
-
I still have nearly 60 items on my wish lists.

I spent a lot of this last weekend playing Civilization: Beyond Earth with the new Rising Tide expansion.
Just like the expansions for Civ 4 and Civ 5, they added a ton of new content that really changes how the game is played. I've been enjoying the revamped diplomacy system and the new artifact system they put in - it's feeling a lot more like a modern update to Alpha Centauri now, versus the reskinned Civ 5 it felt like when I first played it.

I bought Dying Light last weekend and it has been a TON of fun playing. I typically suck at 1st person games but this one has been easy to adapt to. Plus, slashing zombies with a machete is awesome! I have a few other games I bounce between too. Cities: Skyline, Atlantica Online, Diablo3, and Minecraft.
-
Anyone looking to play on a modded MC server that I run?
I've seen a few people mention is, besides me.

I won Dyling Light w the "play as a zombie" add on from SW... one day, I might get around to playing anything (damn home ownership).

@RojoLoco Definitely worth trying out if you have the hardware to support it. I found out that it makes my GPU overheat. I had to take the cover off the side of my case this weekend because I was seeing the temps creep up near 85c. After the cover off it stayed below 82c. I think I need to take a look at my case fan placement...

I won one of the Alienware Alpha consoles (cheap one, i3 and 5400 rpm spinner). Next paycheck will probably get an SSD and more RAM, I hope it will rock out after the upgrade.

@RojoLoco Sad thing is, that will probably not run much for games......Many of the newer generation games require at least an i5/AMD FX-8000 line processor and a big beefy gpu to go with it.
**Still an awesome thing to win!

Good thing they sell it as a gaming console, then... it's utterly useless in its factory config. I almost smashed it w a hammer first day, then I remembered it has a shit drive in it.
-
Well you also have to consider that some people define "gaming" as farmville, bejewled and candy crush....
-
I love the idea of someone buying an Alienware to play Candy Crush... and hate that it has probably actually happened before.
