Rebel Galaxy. Well, was playing. I went upstairs to get food and when I came back down both monitors were black and the computer was unresponsive. I'll be playing Rebel Galaxy again shortly but I hope that doesn't happen again...

better check your PC for any issues... didn't run into that sort of problem when I left it running a game, browser & recorder...

I think my computer just gets lonely so it causes a ruckus to get attention. This wasn't the first time and it probably won't be the last. :laugh:

I'm already liking Rebel Galaxy far more than Space Rangers HD.

So far, I only heard one great song. The rest has been average.

And yeah, I'm playing with X360 controller. My left joystick on it is going kaput though. :(

A little old but gold as she's a support frame.


Makes me wanna fire up WF again to see if my Attica Carpet Bomb build still works. The only thing that got me to keep playing that game was dumb builds with weapons people never used. (Emptied 6 Forma into stuff like Attica and Ignis for the lulz)

EDIT: Did they nerf the gunslinger frame yet? That frame could solo Tower IV for almost 60 waves.

Attican carpet bomb was always fun.

Mesa? Nah and better yet if you get a Limbo to put her in the rift she takes no damage while spraying bullets everywhere.

Been playing Ark the last couple of days. I bought it at release and played one night and disliked the game but it has come a long way and I'm now having a blast.

Just finished Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Hard difficulty. Kicked Tabuu's ass with Snake and King Dedede alone :D I can't bring myself to play it on Very Hard or Intense. I don't really like painful battles.

It's kinda strange to see Solid Snake in SSBB Universe

Started playing 1st Mirrors edge game few weeks ago and got upto chapter 7 in like 2 hours lol,stopped playing because i randomly got sick..finished the game just now and total runtime is 4 hours of just doing story alone. Ending was a bit meh but the ending song/credits was even more rewarding. May pick up the new one when its cheaper.

Managing WoW stuff. I have close to 1000 green items and I really, really should sell some of them, at least the doubles. So I look for auction add-ons, and all of them are terrible. The only one that is even remotely useful to me seems to be TradeSkillMaster, but for one thing the UI is hideous. As are every single addon I've tried so far. Seriously, some of them have been maintained for years and have been downloaded millions of times and no one is even considering making the UI look like something that didn't come out of a 90's hacker movie? Anyway, I managed to set up some auctions in TradeSkillMaster, but for some reason the auctions were cancelled upon creation, and for some reason about a dozen items just dissapeared. I had no bag space before and I had a bunch of items in the mail, and now I have every item and still space left. It's no biggie obviously, but it's frikken annoying. I honestly don't understand why people use addons at all, at least not for anything beyond DPS counting or something, because they all look like baby corpses.

Got all of the achievements in Rebel Galaxy. Like Polaris better than Blackgate because Polaris has all of the broadsides clustered in the center of the aircraft where Blackgate has most of them in a large group on the left and right with a couple in the center. You can't spray and pray effectively with the Blackgate because of that where Polaris can effectively snipe while spraying.

Probably going to play Unravel next, then Starpoint Gemini 2, and finally Dragon Age: Inquisition GotY.

Actually had a few minutes today to start up a game, probably the first time in like 2-3 weeks. So I cracked back into the original Dead Space. I've been wanting to play through this again, and it's been fun starting afresh. This will probably be close to like 7 times playing through :D

Took about one week of rest from gaming after finishing Wild Arms. Now, I'm playing Alan Wake: American Nightmare. Pretty fun game though less mysterious and less scary than the original. I'm probably close to the end already.

I actually tried to get into the original Thief, but the almost non-existing BGM, ambiguous map and the generic maze/dungeon-like level design makes me thinkthat the game may be a bit too dated. Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'll probably just skip the first 3 games and play the new Thief (2014) and see if that's any good.

I can only say that nostalgia makes me believe that the story and originality in the first Thief makes it better than the successors, but I'm also biased a little :)

So Thief II and Deadly Shadows aren't any better than the original then?

So Thief II and Deadly Shadows aren't any better than the original then?

I think you'd like Deadly Shadows. It's the closezt to the current one. There is also a great mod that modernizes the game in a bunch of ways.

Thanks. I'll probably check that out. I've never played any Thief game before this and the reason I wanted to play the original before trying the latest one is to see why people say the latest one is so bad compared to it's predecessors.
