GTA Online......again!
After inheriting many tens of millions from various modders 'makin' it rain', I'm finally able to stop grinding missions and live permanently in the carnage that is random freeroam.
Christ it's ugly in there!

A little late, I was busy this weekend. The yard hath assumed sentient life and sadly, I get Swamp Thing instead of Poison Ivy.
I alternated between TF2 (I honestly am never sure how I get burned out on it, I think its mostly because I stop getting drops) and began/finished Portal. Also played the first episode of Sam & Max. Love puzzle games.

Past weekend was filled with TF2 and revisiting the first Witcher game. Decided to play the trilogy all the way through.
So i keep forgetting to post stuff in this thread....
Anyway, past two weekends ive been playing Medieval 2 with Stainless Steel 6.4 mod. Very good game, but dammit does it take a lot of time.
Started an early era campaign with France. started taking barbarian provinces to create the kingdom of France when suddenly England declares war on me. I push them out of the continent and start the naval invasion when suddenly Genoa decides its a good time to attack me as well, so i end up fighting two fronts, north and south.
France early troops are very bad (for example Genoaa militia spearmen are twice as strong) so the battles often does not go the way i want them to. Also the AI is a bastard. it brings two armies and uses second army as reinforcement, thus attacking my army with over 5000 soldiers at once, from both sides. fuck that noise.
The England campaign ends up being costly and i loose half of my family members there, but joined by the Scots England is finally banished and stops existing.
I focus my efforts on Genoya and finally break the standstill of just bashing eachother armies back and forth. Some very powerful generals arise from the Genoa wars.... and then get pneumonia and die. Of course Pope likes being a dick and constantly tells me to "Cease hostilities" because its up to defendant to do that apparently.
As i push Genoa back towards Italy and leave them with 4 towns the Scots back-stab me and attack my English empire. Damnit, scots! i recall one of the 3 armies i have on Genoa front as well as recruit as much as i can in england. They take Endinburg but i stall them. Meanwhile i cannot finish my Genoa campaign thanks to pope.
And thats where my current save is, which is going to go slowly because when a single battle can last you 2 hours and your fighting 2-3 battles per turn it really drags on.

Initially I was planning on playing DA: Inquisition, but at the last moment decided to buy Mass Effect Trilogy instead, with intent of playing through the whole thing. So far, I don't regret that decision - the premise of the plot seems really, really good and the action sequences are pretty enjoyable as far as cover shooters go. Also, for some strange reason the game reminds me heavily of my favourite non-fantasy action RPG - Fallout: New Vegas. Maybe it's because of the dialogues...?
Crypt of the NecroDancer, which I'm, enjoying a lot. It's very rare that such a uniquely constructed game comes out. Plus it's a roguelike, a genre for which i'm a helpless sucker. Probably DA: Origins too, if I ever get the hang of the combat. God, the AI is just dumb as a bag of dogshit.
The Witcher 3. Finished the storyline yesterday and got the worst ending, which I hated (not because of how it was written, but because of what happened). Then I found out that I only made one wrong choice to stop me from getting the best ending, and that I made it not that long ago. Problem is, in The Witcher 3 "not that long ago" is still hours, so there's my gaming weekend.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy on PS2. Just picked it up from an old video game store. Imagine if Link went to Egypt and Mesopotamia. I imagine BF3 will also be played at some point.
Well, 'this weekend' will feature a new Splatfest on Splatoon that will begin today in the United States at 9pm Pacific Time that will run for 24 hours. I'm planning on participating until I get a high enough rank to support my team; by the way, GO TEAM MARSHMALLOW!!
Once I've achieved that feat, I will dive into Lost Dimension, as I've been unable to play it this past week due to working so hard that I couldn't find the time or was too tired to enjoy it.
In between those games, I plan to play Pokemon Omega Ruby in order to complete the Kalos Regional PokeDex.
So yeah, it's going to be a fun weekend.

I just picked up the last copy of Bravely Default from work so there's that. If my internet behaves itself I'm also probably going to spend some time online in GTAV! I only just did my first heist and I'm hoping to try to do some more. Failing that I still have a pretty big back-log...may try and get back into one of the four Final Fantasy games I haven't completed yet...Also just realized that I haven't played Splatoon since June...
I've mostly been playing Minecraft creative mode. I'm using that to work out a building layout for another game, which will be updating to a new version sometime soon, which means starting a new map. (I don't really need to, the old version saves are mostly compatible with the new version, I just want to start a new map.)
Apart from that, I've been playing a bit of Lost Dimension.

Finished Alien: Isolation, hardest difficulty, well I didn't finish it I survived it. That was the hardest I have done since Metro: 2033 on Ranger Hardcore, or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on Master difficulty. Now I may give Watch_Dogs another go, maybe Shadow of Mordor, definitely mix it up with some Crysis 3.
This weekend i went and played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. This series seems to get only better with time. The atmosphere is amazing, altrough cutscene coding is clearly lacking. Done all i could in first two areas of the map and got to Pripyat. Hopefully will continue the game today.
