I've been playing Far Cry 3 a lot, it's been described not too inaccurately as Skyrim with guns; the story is nowhere as interesting, and the world is nowhere as expansive and alive, but it's probably the best open world shooter I've played in a while; it's similar in a lot of aspects to Just Cause 2, I probably had a lot more fun with the latter, much less collecting bullshit all around; there's just so much time to waste collecting crap, animal hides (and there are a lot of animal varieties) for upgrades (backbacks, weapons holsters, ammo packs, etc), herbs for healing and such, etc, it's busy work, probably will get bored with it when Aliens Colonial Marines takes over my life, if they don't screw it up. Also, I've luckily been able to play The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker on my PC running on the Dolphin emulator. I had played it on my Wii before, but the Wii support for GameCube games is astoundingly bad; I need to hook up my old GameCube controller, which doesn't really have a long cable and my TV is not that close to the couch, and I need to use the memory card instead of being able to use the Wii memory. WTF Nintendo? You are obviously running an emulation layer, why couldn't you redirect memory management calls to the internal wii memory handler? For stupid shit like this is that I'm never going to purchase another console from you. So, anyway, the game runs flawless on my system, and the XBox 360 controller is an adequate replacement for the GameCube controller.

I also recently upgraded my PC, preparing with anticipation for Aliens Colonial Marines

That's awesome Thor!

Damn Thorondor, that's some talent! Behold mine!

Warcraft 2 You didn' really draw that, did you?

Great game idea!

I like both doors. Guillermo del Toro better redeem himself for Julia's Eyes, embarrassing piece of crap. Did anyone notice that the computer voice sounds very, very similar to GlaDOS (Portal)?

Too buggy, from what I've read; also all improvements are already present in the most popular mods.

I feel more interested by this game than the recently released XCOM, this looks like it captures the feeling of the original much better.

Quite the bargain, very generous from THQ.

Congratulations!

BG EE is released on PC first, then iOS and THEN Android.

I just realised (I'm kinda slow, obviously) that Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition is just the first game (plus expansion and additions). I, for some reason, assumed this game included the original Baldur's Gate, the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, Shadows of Amn (BG2) and Throne of Bhaal. I think my money's better off spent getting GOG's BG1 Complete, BG2 Complete and the mod that merges them together, using a patched Infinity Engine. Disappointing, oh well, the original is still a kick ass RPG, even without all the new additions. At least this will bring a real RPG to modern platforms like Android and iOS, and to the current generation of gamers, spoiled by hand-holding RPGs. New Achievement Unlocked: Killed a Goblin All By Yourself. ...

Graphically it looks about the same. I'm OK with that, but I was looking forward to at least more character models (which there might be). I was hoping for a graphical overhaul to match, for example, Dragon Age, which used classic isometric view, and yet it looked fresh and absolutely fantastic.

I am currently playing Dead Light, a creat throwback to Flashback'esque / (classic) Prince of Persia gaming, 2D platformer in a zombie apocalypse. Think a Walking Dead 2D action platformer. Mixed with a bit of Mark of the Ninja, another good 2D platformer. And Orcs Must Die 2! for my online necessities.

Not a big fan of Apple, I take it? A game about He-Man, cool! nostalgic.
