Anyone still playing Warcraft III custom maps? I am, and Iām having a blast with one in particular called Hero of the Empire. If anyone feels like playing some of it, hit me up ^^
Anyone planning on getting Dark Souls 3 on release?
Do 4X games count? Iāve been playing Master of Orion lately.
This is in between my glut of driving and other car or racing-themed games.
If you have some cash lying around, Iād suggest Polyrace for the PC. Itās on Steam and itāll run on a toaster.
I get tired of some of the bigger 4X games, since they tend to bog down late-game with the microā¦
Right now, Iām saving for Stellaris (just 15 days!) and then Hearts of Iron IV after that, so Iāll be busy, haha.
So I got into Mirrors Edge Catalyst beta and I have to say that it was better than expected, sure there are some bugs cuz its beta but I am really looking forward to the finished game.
I thought that the combat is going to be buggy and boring, but the way they made it is pretty entertaining and is fun to play around with.
Here is a screen in the night :3.
P.S. The game is BEAUTIFUL
P.S.S I was playing it on Medium cuz I have a shit pc, still awesome.

So the Overwatch open beta went live yesterday and I have spent about 10 hours on the game so far playing with 5 friends. And I have never had this much fun playing a shooter.
The combat is awesome, the game looks awesome, all the classes are unique and fun in their own way and itās a blast to play with a full party with friends. Just talking about it here makes wanna play it ever more! Iām also trying to main Pharah and Iām getting pretty decent at doing air-shots and direct hitting.
But yeah, if you can and have a computer that can handle the game, you should download it! Itās in open beta right now and free to download!
So yeah, Overwatch is fun and you should download the thing and gamer the stuff and kill things and push carts for no reason.
Oh, and screw you Bastionā¦

Me, @IkaCZ, and @Bizkitdoh have all been playing regularly since the prerelease beta on Tuesday, and all been finding it really fun.
Iāll always have a soft spot in my heart for quakeoid esque games with silly movement and rocket jumping, but Overwatch has an objective-focused and ability-focused type of gameplay which really quite works.
Itās very easy to get sucked into wanting to win a game especially when youāre working with friends, which is something that was not as easily found in games like TF2. 6v6 players makes it easy to feel like youāre actually an important part of the team, and then with a cast of pretty great characters designed almost MOBA style, Iām finding it a very pleasant experience so far.
Played a lot of Reinhardt at the moment, really like pushing the objective with a huge shield. Heās probably one of the easier heroes to pick up, but getting clutch firestrike and charge kills is always so satisfying. Having a big hammer to smack people with is really fun too. Itās a lot of fun to kill people playing as a class that isnāt entirely designed to do damage. (he also has a really fucking cool edgy black and firey skin)
I do enjoy Pharah too, thereās certainly some transferrable skills from TF2ās rockets, and Quake. I love me some rocket projectiles in fps games.
Definitely recommend people check it out while itās free, itās for sure a game people can have fun with even if you donāt play fps games!

Yup, everyoneās on the Overwatch train. Been playing Widowmaker, Junkrat and D.Va, with a few Mercy games too. My AmĆ©lie has been doing me well as a generic sniper, and Junkrat is reminiscent of the days I used to only go for C4 kills in MW2. I didnāt expect to like D.Va, but I had to pick a tank at some point, and she just clicked with me. And Mercy becauseā¦ Sometimes people donāt pick Support. I played a bit of Reaper too because he looked like the only Attacker Iād understand. I pretty much just flank and distract as many people during invuln while my team gets objectivesā¦ Pretty sure thatās what his kit is for. Oh, and screw Genji. Dude is like the easiest character ever, and I donāt want to give into the free win machine, but heās annoying to play against.
Iām not sure if I like how quick or slow games are right now. Most of the time Iām not even paying attention to who is winning or losing, because it doesnāt really matter. I also donāt like feeling like thereās nothing to learnā¦ I knew the game in a few matches.
Only played solo so far, gonna play with a group tomorrow. That might change the win/loss thing. Still, itās been pretty fun so far.
I played against a Widowmaker named Marcus today. Guess someone took that name before ya @Bonecuss.

WIDOWBAEKER.
Yeah this game is stupid fun. Iāll be pumping a couple thousand hours into it pretty easily, I suspect.
Iām not letting myself touch any other classes until I can near perfect my Widowmaker game which will take a lot of map knowledge and accuracy tuning, but it feels worth it- Something I WANT to do because I love this game so far.
This is easily my biggest problem now. I play a map for the first time and, eventually, find that nice place where you get into your stride, you start being really calm about everything, and you go on a massive killing spreeā¦ And then every time I play that map I always go to that exact same place. When my position is noticed by the enemy team Iām like āOH GOD WHERE DO I GO NOW!?ā Commence rappelling up to a roof thatās beyond the height limit.
Dude, the sightlines are endless and you just cannot be predictable. Tons of things to learn! Something non-snipers need to learn is that Genji exists and his goal 100% of the time is to kill a sniper before going ham on everyone else, yet nobody looks for him. ;_;
Generally I see him, but I donāt know any of the routes he could go to get to me, so I just ignore it and move somewhere else.
Recently finished Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright.
Really loved that, great experience. Very Uminekoāesque feel. Although gameplay was pretty standard but that is to be expected from both franchises which are pretty simplistic to start with.
Very strong narrative surprisingly, itās rare to see a well written story with a video game. But hey leave it Layton and Wright to prove me wrong. Refreshing to finally experience a decent mystery storyline after digging through the Umineko void only to find bad series after bad series before arriving here.
Me. Because when The player isnāt no longer to be Undead anymore in Dark Souls 3. So I think itās easier more than Dark Souls 2.
So Iāve recently set up a private server for Trouble In Terrorist Town and tried it out with @Glenn_Irish, @RyuuTamotsu and @Bizkitdoh the other day. So I was thinking if any of you guys own Garryās Mod and want to play a few sessions, letās go do that! I donāt want to make an event out of it because it involves a game that needs to be purchased. Plus, because of the nature of the game, using the in-game voice is more ideal than using discord for chat. Just a fair warning though: the server is in Japan, so players in the US might experience more lag than they are accustomed to

Not to mention the issue of time differences, I think most people will be asleep when we can play and vice versa. would it be possible to find a way for the server to run 24 hours a day?
Well uhhhhā¦ I mean I could run the server 24 hours a day I just choose not to
EDIT: Well okay, I guess it doesnāt make sense not to do that so I just turned it on and left it on for the meantime. If you guys wanna access it, here are the server details:
Server Name: Kaza Bois
Password: kagari
I think playing props hunt can be really fun too, but thats only a suggestion. Especially when you have enough people to really have fun and do silly things :3.
