Wow... just played like 20 minutes of Crysis 2. I'm shit at FPS but enjoying this.

Too many games, not enough time for them all :(

Thought I'd give this a try, until I get hold of Skyrim that is.

I fucking love nethack. I'm terrible at it, obviously, everybody is, but my god it is so. Much. Fun.

The "best" bits are the ones where you encounter your own ghost in some godforsaken dungeon full of bees and get trapped by the ghost and your stupid familiar and then end up stung to death by the same bees that got you the first time.

bees or wasps?

Completed Portal last night, then tried to explain how the portals work to Mrs Glover.... christ, that was hard work

On a similar note - anyone play Kingdom of Loathing?

I fucking love KOL even more than I love nethack. I'm an unashamed disco bandit every time, yo.

I've been playing Hero Forge on Andriod recently - good game, worth a go and does a worldwide ranking system that's quite addictive...

Just DLd hero forge.
Bang goes todays productivity

Been playing futuridium (free on osx/pc but paid on mobile). I like. It's old-school hard though, and, on the osx version at least, based upon the high score table, it would appear only a handful of people have figured out the 'proper' way of doing the first few levels.

Started playing on nethack.alt.org - best thing is having the session saved and ready for when you next have telnet. Oh, and being able to watch other games in progress. I wonder if there's a good nethack mobile client.

Not many interesting demises yet, yesterday I ate a newt corpse and died of food poisoning.

This, I have to try.

There's even an (un)official acronym for what you just did.

The whole thing is just endless death for me. I once got cursed to death by some god for mixing up my direction keys and accidentally kicking my puppy :(

Oh great, already did the door kicking one. I will attempt to avoid stepping on my pet.

The bees in the first dungeon (@) had me confused for quite a while :)

You might find tomorrow's suffers as well...

GTA MP looks absolutely amazing!

Saints Row 4 looks a little disappointing, looks very similar to what they've done with FC3:Blood Dragon as opposed to a full sequel, but charging full sequel money.

This game is going to be too much.

That looks so cool.

16 people/map though =(
Hope they do 32 for PC, or allow mod support from day 1

^ These.

Is 16 the same limit in red dead?

This is going to turn me into some kind of hermit!

4 player GTA 2 was amazing. I'd love it if they brought that back.

Anyone played Payback 2 or tomb raider on Ps3? Worth buying?

Still getting a lot out of nethack and finding plenty of amusing demises.
