Now playing 2010

I got Age of Empires 3 yesterday. Haven't played it. I enjoyed being the pessimistic, bemused PC gamer during my experience with GFWL, though. I had to accept the Xbox Live TOS, and after the purchase they sent me a confirmation email telling me that in order to play my game, I need to go to "My Xbox" on the Xbox dashboard. Way to put in the real effort, Microsoft. I'm sure this version of GFWL will be so much more successful than the last iterations.

Borderlands is a great game to play with friends. And the music of the game is just fabulous.

Oh I'm loving it, I play the Tank with a sniper Siren, so I'm free to charge ahead and grab the enemies under her scope while I teach them a new concept of what happens when concentrated power meets sensible areas.

The Tank's berserk scream and laughs are viciously exhilarating, I get an adrenaline rush every time I activate the skill, It's pretty awesome!

I love Borderlands but the PC port is so crappy it drives me nuts. I had to hunt for workarounds to fix the extremely narrow fov (which gives me motion sickness sometimes), mouse smoothing, vysnc etc...

A list of workarounds:

Also: why the fuck do I have to connect to Gamespy to play the game?? That's fucking retarded since the game runs on Steamworks anyway.

Yeah once you get all those fixes installed it turns into a great game. I feel it was almost a test - "If you wanna enjoy me, you are gonna have to fix me."

The wonders of pc-gaming

You mean the wonders of good games hidden under shammy ports

borderlands was so so, and i even played it on console.

If I could be bothered I'd do an image that said:

What I brought: Borderlands

What I expected: Diablo + Guns

What I got: World of Warcraft + Guns

I know they meant "weapons have random stats" when referencing Diablo. But when I think of Diablo I think of randomly generated levels, a quality over quantity approach to quests, and Pindlebots.

Donkey Kong Country Returns. This shit is bananas!

PAC-MAN CE DX

It be awesome

VRRRRRUUUMM! This game rules! ;D

Playing Donkey Kong. The game is too difficult for me and the motion controls aren't making it any easier. It's a shame they sacrificed precision for motion controls when it doesn't really add to the experience. The game looks amazing and has some extremely clever stages, despite the difficulty spikes and a few repetitious boss fights. I'm probably not going to finish it...

Back to the witcher, 54 hours in. Needed a big boys PC rpg again Two Worlds was just... what.

Dang 54 hours? took me about 35 to complete I think.

Thief: Gold -- currently at the Bonehoard. I haaaate zombies.

Atom Zombie Smasher

Machinarium -- can't figure out this puzzle with the red wrenches at the bottom of the well (?)

Deus Ex -- have to blow up the super tanker, I forget what difficulty I set it at but I am getting my ass kicked all the time

Did you even play it?

Yeah =P. Despite it crashing every 25 mins too.

Playing Bioshock 1. I hope I will finish it now before I get bored of the gameplay.

Is bioshock 2 better then the first one?

Bioshock1 is a gameplay gem. And the setting is very original. Give it a couple of hours and it will grow on you.

I'm playing b2 atm, but is pretty much the same with a few refinements.
