Insomnia

I guess everyone is having issues with Batman no matter what port. It really feels like they are trying to go too fast at this point. The episodes are shorter and the crashing, and it used to be about 3months between episodes Episode 3 came out right before Extra Life (Nov 6/7) and 4 came out Tuesday (Dec 22). And there are only 5 episodes, rather than 6. And the ports are just not great.

So Skeptisquee? I guess.

ThugHeaven

Anybody play the Sorcery! trilogy?

Since I'm a little burnt out on RPI/mushing, this has been a fun little diversion in the meantime.

Insomnia

I almost stuck this in Random links: Sex game has NSFW mode, puts everyone in sex scenes in Christmas sweaters.

Ah, Telltale Games, I missed you. Thank you for fucking Clementine up but good; TWD Season 3 is wonderfully much better than Michonne.

Does anyone play Guild Wars 2? I just started playing about a week ago, been leveling with a friend and trying to figure things out, but hey, this looks like a game where it's more fun with more people.

Yes, actually! I've been playing since beta. ^_^ MissDemeanor.9253 in game.

Misadventure

I was playing until they nixed Mac support.

Scissors

They did? Ack. Another friend of mine is on Mac and I've been wanting to get him to play too. There goes THAT plan.

@Miss-Demeanor I'll look you up in-game!

RnMissionRun

I've played on and off since launch. I'm suprised that they discontinued the Mac client. I played it on my two year old iMac and never had a problem.

Miss Demeanor

They haven't.

Chaps, we have some very good news news from the latest AMA with devs:

Mac Client
-We have new build servers coming online.
-We are beginning to expand the client to internal teams to increase testing.
We will release an alpha version of the client for experimental use (like we did with the 64-bit Windows client) when it’s building and running internally on a consistent basis. It will probably require a bit of Mac smarts to install it so it will be for hardened explorers only.

Dulfy

That's from about a month ago. So, working on it and should hopefully have an alpha out soon.

SG

I finally finished Dishonoured. Teleporting is super fun but OP, but I loved the art style and setting. As far as murder-sims go, it's just behind Shadow of Mordor for me.

I blame @Miss-Demeanor for this, but I picked up GW2. I've been enjoying it thus far as my first foray into the MMO thing.

Eventually, I'll have enough money for something else. The PC did a number on the bank account.

Jaded

I was playing GW2 pretty consistently but my original guild just up and disappeared. Then another guild I was in up and disappeared. Kind of discouraging.

But its a fun game. I might dig into it again since some new content is out.

Miss Demeanor

@Jaded You're welcome to run around with us!

The writing for GW2 is really, really great at times. Even if you've got a favourite race that you plan to stick with, definitely check out the others for a few levels just to see what they're all about and gawk at their home cities.

Miss Demeanor

Asuran race!!

But seriously, the human home world is probably the most... dynamic. Its where most of the 'seasonal' events take place. Wintersday, Chinese New Year, pretty sure the V-Day even is based there... but the Halloween event is all Lion's Arch.

So, I just picked up Resident Evil 7.

Holy shit do I love this game. I mean, granted, I was already a fan of the series before, but this one has me literally afraid to walk through doors now. Doors which, by the way, don't end up at a load screen, can be partially opened, bashed through, aimed through, etc.

Minor bitches: I don't like that I can't bind my other mouse keys to different actions. It fucks with me. Healing and running are a PITA with the regular keyboard, so I've had to find creative ways to reconfigure them to make it more streamlined.

But combat is -hard-, and I would recommend avoiding it at all costs. You know, much like the first RE games.

I put it on my list. It's just under ME:A.

Still wading through FF 15. I'm only at Chapter 8, but I've spent almost 40 hours on it getting to level 49.

FF15 is good too. I enjoyed it immensely. Some of the story felt a little contrived at parts, but I don't even care. The visuals and combat system were totally worth it.
