Pfeeew that's a lot....

I've just gone past 2000 hours in Dota 2, I'm ashamed of myself :)

And don't get me started on /played in the previous versions like Dota Allstars on WC3, it's probably somewhere around the same number :D

Here is a picture of how far you can strip a car down in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015:

The engine comes apart in pieces (final piece being the block). You can't remove the whole engine/transmission in one whack. You disassemble while it is still in the car.


Edit: Well, I think I pretty much "finished" the game and that's rather disappointing. I have two pimped out, 100% condition cars in storage, $150,000 in the bank, and all of the upgrades. I could buy any car in the game I wanted...but why? There's nothing you can do with it except repair and stare at it. Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 was better. It actually had a sense of progression as well as meaningful/unique DLCs. This is meh. Definitely not worth the $19 I paid for it.


I really need to wrap up some games I started long ago in preparation for erasing. Let's see...in order from most urgent to least:
-Torchlight II (playing through with @-KarL- so it depends on his freetime more than mine)
-Borderlands DLCs (I've played them all but @-KarL- hasn't) (backed up)
-Sanctum 2 (decided this isn't a priority)
-Shad'O All achievements gotten.
-Drunken Robot Pornography
-Airline Tycoon 2
-Dead Island
-Dead Island Riptide
-Pixel Piracy
-Impire (alternative ending)
-Greed Corp All achivements gotten.
-Goat Simulator (have to clean up some of the GoatZ DLC)
-The Escapists I had an escape I wanted to finish but an update apparently got rid of the save. I didn't finish the game but it is effectively off my immediate to-do list.
-Rogue Legacy All achievements gotten.
-Remember Me Not redoing this now just for achievements.

...I think my plans to play Sleeping Dogs will have to be scrapped until post-upgrade. :(

Scratched Airline Tycoon 2 off the list. I would do Drunken Robot Pornography but I'm pretty sure I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand so that's going to have to be put on hold...as well as a lot of other games on that list. I think I should be able to handle Impire so that's what I'm playing now. I'll probably follow up with Shad'O.

I played Skyforge last night. Basically just grinding for exp and rewards. I like the character designs and the general idea of the story. Playing solo without friends is not fun, I'll see if I can find some tonight. @GreiverBlade do you have any tips for finding good party? TIA.

finding any good party??? i mostly play in solo :D (on EU server) tho the party finder seems to work, that remind me i need to do a Mare Sacro Monastery (MSM) and it's a team adventure not a Squad like the rest (5 player not soloable it seems vs 3 player and soloable) also ... getting high on prestige can be a bad idea (later since most advance in storyline need some prestige tier to unlock)

got the Collector Ed. focusing on Paladin for most squad adventures, Slayer/Alchemist/Knight/Cryomancer/lightbinder in open map (when i don't get one shot as a Slayer, otherwise i use Paladin)
the game gets harder and harder the more you advance :D

I'm a tank too (paladin), I joined a random party of three but the game glitched and I was thrown out of the boss fight LOL. I was thinking of going solo for awhile, but I saw there's a reward for getting 2 members before tomorrow. I'll try to get two newbies tonight just to earn the reward heheh.

Making progress... I'm thinking my wrist feels up to Drunken Robot Pornography so I'll probably try to finish that next.

I've probably bought over a dozen games in the last week. The list is getting longer, not shorter but there isn't urgency to play those because there's nothing unique to save.

As of tomorrow, I'll have all the parts, sans processor, for the upgrade. 6700Ks are still as rare as honesty on Wall Street.

List is getting short! :D

Playing Dead Island right now but not really enjoying it. I beat it before, I know how it ends, and that kind of sucks the fun out of it. I'm not entirely sure why I started a replay...

I removed Sanctum 2 from the list because that's just wishful thinking. I added Borderlands to the list because I had forgotten @-KarL- and I have at least two more DLCs to finish up. I doubt he'll have enough free time so I really need to back up my level 44 save in that game.

If I keep going with Dead Island, all that leaves is Pixel Piracy. I think that would be a nice, relaxing, follow up to Dead Island. :laugh:

GoldenEye 007 is easily the best FPS game I've ever played. Realistic controls and amazing enemy AI and absolutely beautiful level design. It's amazing how enemies cover each other, dodge bullets and flank you.

I finished Dead Island + Ryder White but then I discovered Riptide is a direct sequel that supports character importing. I might as well keep going with Riptide. Pixel Piracy will have to wait.

I was supposed to review it, then MGS V happened. Way too late now, got reviews booked for the next 3 weeks.

I was really looking forward to it as well, so I bought it :D

And of course, Phantom Pain is too big to ignore...it would be akin to ignoring GTA V and Witcher 3.

I am seeing the downside to your work ethic and devotion to doing game reviews not as your main job. Although you play alot of games, you rarely get to play for fun, whereas people who have it as their actual job get to go home at night and play for fun.

I just want to tip my hat to you for the sacrifice of time you make that inevitably minimizes any of your personal game-playing!

MGS V is a BIG game. I've played on the TPU press account for four days solid, and I'm still sat at 11% completion. There is SO MUCH CONTENT, its ludicrous. If you're thinking of getting around to it in a normal few hours a night capacity, prepare to play nothing for the next three months.

Yeah, that's what I tell my partner, but she doesn't believe me when I say "I'm not playing this because I want to" :D
I still get Friday nights to myself - Friday evenings are my evenings off. And sometimes I get to review games which I truly love, so it has its benefits.

MGS V is a BIG game. I've played on the TPU press account for four days solid, and I'm still sat at 11% completion. There is SO MUCH CONTENT, its ludicrous. If you're thinking of getting around to it in a normal few hours a night capacity, prepare to play nothing for the next three months.

Yeah, that's what I tell my partner, but she doesn't believe me when I say "I'm not playing this because I want to" :D
I still get Friday nights to myself - Friday evenings are my evenings off. And sometimes I get to review games which I truly love, so it has its benefits.

I started on Phantom Pain as well, and it's definately up in TW3 territory for content. I'm basically juggling like 5 or 6 games, playing new ones, trying to clear backlog, and get another playthrough on TW3. There's no hope, unless I don't buy another game for a year! :-(

I'm still playing Resident Evil 4 (just got all the bottle caps) but I'm also playing Xenoblade Chronicles. The most beautiful game (after Metroid Prime Trilogy and GoldenEye)
