As dear Pike said a couple of days ago we should be resuming normal service now that our visit has ended. It was supremely enjoyable and I look forward to her reciprocal visit to rainy old England in a few months. Still, let’s get to the videogames, eh?
What have you guys been playing over the past few weeks? Pike and myself mostly played our typical standbys, which is to say Civilization IV and a little bit of Earth Defense Force 2017, but things have come out that warrant attention. Dragon’s Dogma, which I have but haven’t yet played a great deal of, Max Payne 3, and Lollipop Chainsaw to name a few.
Or we could bring up E3 – a few things there looked real nice, I’m thinking Watch_Dogs, Assassin’s Creed 3, and The Last of Us. I may actually need a PS3 for that last one. Did anything at the show catch your eyes, folks?
And as it’s Friday, why not; What are you playing this weekend? :D Anything you’ve finally managed to make some time for, or just some old favorites that help you relax?
As an aside are there any topics you want to see us talk about? We’ve had some requests before and I don’t think we’ve managed to remember them all; please let us know in the comments!
Watch Dogs looks _awsum_, but the gameplay footage seemed suspiciously scripted and tech-demo-y. Aside from that this E3 seemed a bit of a bust, honestly.
As for topics, um… interruptible gaming? I’ve found that I can pick up my Bastion game after a month-long lull and jump right in, but when I try to do that in EU3 or pretty much any FPS I’m completely lost.
I’ve been playing SWTOR primarily and trolling people on the forums as well (very subtly. But it’s definitely my goal to agitate people who make mountains out of molehills.)
I’ve also been spending a lot of time building Warhammer 40k parts. Curse you Tau and your tiny pieces!
