[...] that say something to the effect of “It’s not the most revolutionary game in the world, but you know what? It’s pretty fun and I’m enjoying myself thoroughly. Really. [...]

Oi Spinks!

Cap’n Sven ‘ere from the Burning Sea of Pirates, or something like that. Time is such a vanishing commodity these days, isn’t? Especially with all the great games out there.

We’re still puttering about on Tuesday evenings, if you or any of your readers care to join us. We just added a couple of newcomers, so anyone just starting out wouldn’t feel a bit out of place or far behind.

Check out Van Hemlock’s website for details.

That Pirates game does look cool. I’ll try it now .

I’ve really been wanting to play Sims Medieval… just haven’t gotten around to buying it yet. I am a huge Sims addict though so I’m sure that once I do actually get it I’ll accidentally end up playing it from sunup to sundown without noticing

Of course, given the giant backlog of games I have, I should probably attempt to beat a couple of them before buying Sims Medieval hehe.

yeah, its been suggested multiple times on the forums that ME2 really needs something like pinnacle station from ME1 (combat simulation maps DLC basically)

Bioware love interests in general are pretty much twooo love even when you think its a casual thing (Garrus especially blindsided the heck out of me – although in a very cute way, and Isabella, as much as I adore her – is no better, although I think you could just not push it beyond that first casual encounter?)

I suppose you could always go for Kelly – she’s not a paramour achievement giving character but she’ll dance for you and feed your fish

I see Shepard as srs business – even renegade shepard, so twoo love works for me, personally

There is an overwhelming-ness about Fallout 3, after having binged on Bioware games for the last three months (Planescape, ME1&2, DA:Awakening, DA2). I came to appreciate the elegance of Bioware’s classes, although the choices in ME1&2 might have been *too* limited.

I am about 8 hours into Fallout and have completed only a handful of missions. The rest of my time has been spent looting just a couple of structures.

I’ll be curious to see what you think. There is PvP but it’s very easy to opt in or out of it, and I barely ever scratched the surface of the economic game. I do think it’s a really good quality MMO.

I kind of wish ME2 had a separate tutorial arena where I could practice slowly and carefully without being in the middle of the story. I will press on with it though, and hopefully get the hang of it a bit better.

I’m not sure how well Bioware style love interests really work with the way I see Shepherd though. I keep wishing she was more like Geralt from The Witcher, and not actually looking for twoo wuv.

With Bioshock, I knew it was a shooter but I do want to try to get better at them. And since it was cheap I won’t feel too bad if I have to give up.

No, I liked the game but I was particularly taken with the space combat. And I was finding that the ship to ship combat in PotBS just scratched that itch better for me.

If I’d been a huge Star Trek fan it might be different, but as it was the game itself wasn’t as appealing as pirates. I do keep hearing good things about the updates they’ve done to it though.

Still playing much Star Trek?
