I have Red Orchestra Ostfront but I don't have the other games and I'm sure nobody plays 41-45 anymore. Ah well.

Also if anyone has 3, 4, 7, 9, or 10 for the globes let me know. I'm tempted to just buy them on the market so I can get the third badge but meh.

Actually, Ostfront has a really big playerbase and you'll still find at least several servers full to capacity, plus more that are nearly full. I played some of it a few days ago and it took no effort to find plenty of options.

Sounds good. I know that the servers for other similar games have gone down or are empty so. lol

[kefkaownsall]

I got that but I dunno added a classic and modern mode

Really? I thought it was dead. I should get back into it.

AS much as I love RO2/RS, the 'realism' mode is a bit too COD-ish, and unfortunately I can't find any classic mode servers.

I've been on as much as I can. Unfortunately, the game seems to respond the worst to my occasionally spotty wifi connection; while other games are fine unless the connection comes close to dropping entirely, Red Orchestra 2 keeps my ping almost permanently above 200 and will lag at the slightest provocation.

When the connection is good and perfect, I end up doing better at it than any other multiplayer game I own (I'm just not a twitch shooter guy). When there's even the slightest problem, I'm warping across the map and the game is claiming that it detects speed hacks.

Yeah, I get massive ping problems as well. Usually it works, but sometimes it is impossible to play on any servers.

I love ro2. Problem is all the servers suck because they run that punkbuster shit which freezes my comp, i only go on one server, based in new york, called 2.FJg Tactical Realism. Good server

So Orcs Must Die 2 is a fuck ton of fun.  Seriously.  There are a lot of ways you can kill the Orcs.  And all of them are fun.

Ironbite-so...so much fun.

I'll look it up. See if it runs well enough.

If you want somebody to play with, I run a WICKED Sorceress, Ibby.  More slaying for all!

[ironbite]

We should totally play sometime today.

I got Dragon Age for Christmas. I know, 5 years after it's release but what ever. It's quite dark for a fantasy style RPG and I was expecting more of a Skyrim style open world, but it's a lot more versatile than Baldur's Gate.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

So, up until today I though I sucked at video games. The I discovered that I'd unknowingly been playing Skyrim at one of the higher difficulty settings and actually doing okay. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Playing Pokemon Black 2, I encountered my first shiny ever (and I've been playing the games since Red came out).  It was a Sandslash, but I figured, hey shiny, so I tried to catch it.  When False Swipe didn't even flinch its HP, I figured Aqua Jet should weaken but not do major damage.  Instant KO!  I couldn't believe it.  I should've just cherry tapped it with FS until it hit the red zone.

[Witchyjoshy]

Yeah, problem is, it'll be borderline red then...

"CRITICAL HIT!"
(ALL THAT HEALTH GOES DOWN)

That's always how it is with trying to catch pokemon x_x

I wish there was a way to tell your pokemon to hold back so that they don't critical hit.

Rome 2 total war is too easy, even on hard.

Im playing at athens, barely anybody is declaring war on me, ive steam rolled all the north into germany, taken over the coast of the middle east, 27 settlements in total. And im just about to kill off rome in 3 turns with 2 armies.

Thats fucked up

I've heard terrible things about Rome 2. Makes me happy that I haven't bought a TW game since Empire, let alone per-ordering Rome 2 (which is what I did with Empire). The Angry Joe review seemed to cover all the problems very well.

Playing EU4 as Denmark/Scandinavia, and suddenly, by 1660, Spain not only controls all of Iberia, minus Portugal, South and Middle America and large parts of Africa, but has also annexed Austria-Hungary and Lithuania. I.e., I'm fucked.
