Used to play Battlefront II practically daily online before I switched computers.

Got the Arma 3 alpha, my computer should be able to run it. 3 ghz cpu and a gts 250 with 6 gig ram. But the game is soooooo fucking badly optimized, yet it has so much potential

[Distind]

It is an alpha. And it is an Arma game.

But given they have people paying for access to the alpha they should have the cash to finish cleaning it up eventually.

I have a sudden urge to play Arcanum, but I know I'll probably get burned out before I finish it. Again. I've really got to stop doing that with RPGs, I've built up quite an impressive library of the things where I'm quite familiar with the first half of the game but beyond that I've no clue what happens.

Whelp, I started again after all. Didn't manage to find revolver parts in the IFS Zephyr wreckage this time, which made life a little harder, but I still managed in the end. Got my firearms skill up halfway, with expert training and a home made fine revolver to go with it, all before I left Shrouded Hills.

Bullets are fucking expensive, though. I have to get the schematic to make my own as soon as bloody possible.

Looks better than a number of released games I've seen recently. Looks pretty awesome on most counts honestly. /fanboy

[Material Defender]

The Pit is oddly fun! Rather have enjoyed it so far.

[Saturn500]

Well, let's see, the games I've been playing a lot recently have been:

Etrian Odyssey IV (My first EO game, mapping everything out manually is way more fun than I expected)
Gradius V (Simply awesome)
Nano Assault EX (It's pretty good)
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene (I swear, I WILL finish Challenge mode one day)
Garry's Mod (Mostly Art of Parkour and Sandbox)
Knytt Underground (I finished it, the ending was pretty lame, albeit clever, and it's more about the journey, anyway, as is actually stated in-game)
Metal Torrent (Yes, even by shmup standards, it's short, but you're supposed to play for score anyway. Also, the three bosses only LOOK the same)

Maybe I play too many shmups? Nah.

Oh, and that Ugly Baby game that was in the Potato Sack has been getting rather frequent updates lately. It's almost a completely different game now!

Who needs guns? Just mind control people and lock them in a room somewhere (which is also great for robbing banks).

I just unlocked a fourth tier ship in star conflict, also unlocking more slots, modules and maps. Shit just got intense

When given the choice between tech and magic, it can only be tech. Picking magic really disagrees with my sensibilities.

You say that now. But when you get teleport...

It's convenient, but I'd rather stick to my magnetic hat, healing jacket, two charged rings and charged repeater rifle. It doesn't get more badass than that.

Though I'll probably go with magic if I ever decide to do a thief run. Being able to teleport into locked rooms may or may not have a few minor benefits.

When you unlock a container magically, it stays unlocked forever. You can just visit a store you robbed after it restocks and take everything again with very little effort.

That's hilarious

More so since I'm trying to imagine what it would be like in universe.

[Askold]

Maybe it only unlocks for the spellcaster?

So the owner can check the lock and everything is ok, but it keeps opening for the player.

Because otherwise it would be like looking at a safe door thats been blown off the and thinkoing. "Well, getting it fixed is expensive and I did like this safe so much... Maybe I'll keep storing my money here. It's not like the thief would come back for the fifth time.
