Also picked up New Vegas again. Also gonna say that New Vegas is a better game than Skyrim; sure Skyrim's less buggy and has a better engine, but the world of New Vegas just feels so much more... REAL. It's not just village after village of swedes wanting me to fuck something up in some cave.

Currently running around with a melee weapons/unarmed guy. No lockpicking, computers, or speech checks, but MAN can he hit hard and take a lot of damage!


I'm also still continually playing both Doomrl and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

To those people who have never played WOW.
The first one is always free. But in the case of WOW, the first 20 levels are free!
With 10 classes that's maybe 1 year of free play!

Mostly DoomRL due to time. In the boring weekend afternoons, Doom 3, Quake 3 Arena and 4 (iD nostalgia), Age of Conan, COD4, Darksiders, some League of Legends, BF2, 40K Retribution and some surprisingly awesome sphincter Cell Pandora Tomorrow Multiplayer.

Also: Demon's Souls. I know Dark Souls is out, but I've beaten the game twice now and it's starting to get... interesting...

Hello, my name is knolli and in WoW I played an undead Mage until level 10 before I lost interest. Last week I was informed that my account will be deleted soon.

Internal consistency- when New Vegas does absurd bullshit, people call them out on it, and since Vegas is a real place, people have a level of familiarity with it and a lens through which to view the world of Fallout! You can even turn most of the silly stuff (like aliens and a fedora in a fridge (AND THE HOLY HAND GRENADE OF ANTIOCH!)) off.

When I played WoW, I spent a year getting up to level 80 (hear it takes a month now) in ye olde times before WoWhead or WowWiki, and managed to get myself into good enough shape to raid with a decent guild (I think we were like, 80something out of all US servers) and killed Arthas by repeatedly pressing the two key, followed by the six key, followed by the two key again(5 times unless my energy wasn't ticking, in which case i would use Adrenaline Rush unless it wasn't ready in which case i would press it 3 times), followed by the zero key, followed by the two key as many times as energy remained, followed by the three key, at which point i would restart the cycle.

(TL:DR- Sinister Strike x5, Slice n' Dice, Sinister Strike x5, Rupture, SSxwhatever, Eviscerate)
Really it was a matter of keeping my DoT and buffs up while dealing damage whenever I could... I topped DPS charts pretty often with Encon, Combat Rogue(sure there are situationally better ones but dude, dual wield swords n axes!).

He was named after this guy:

Meh, I liked the atmosphere and environment of Fallout 3 better than New Vegas. Sure they are both primarily "post-apocalyptic wasteland", but I still liked Fallout 3's city areas and especially the diversity in environments you could get in the DLCs, all of which I loved (except Mothership Zeta). The Strip in New Vegas was the only real area that I remember having a more city-like feel.

See I actually like the desert. The Capital Wasteland was an irradiated mess while the ruins of DC were an even MORE irradiated maze. The DLC was also awesome (the swamp one was the best), but I haven't tried any of the New Vegas DLC.

New Vegas also has a lot more references to older fallout games, like the NCR and references to the Enclave's plans in Fallout 2. It's less irradiated, and you can hardly even tell that there even WAS a nuclear apocalypse unless you go to any of the old military bases. It's a much more refined and thriving society than the small dots of raider camps all over DC.

Yes, Mothership Zeta was really annoying, wasn't it?

Gave Mari0 (the Mario/Portal game) a try, sadly, the OSX build sucks, obscenely high CPU usage within the first couple of minutes and horrid lag. Not good.

I liked shooting an alien superlaser at some obscure part of the earth, but the consequences of that never caught up to me...

Meanwhile in my New Vegas game, the NCR has orders to shoot me on sight.

I read that series. They were quite good.
Lately I've been playing tribal wars, and that's about it.
