What Are You Playing?

By -

After a long two weeks of work I'm taking today to just play games.  I try to remember to play games and not just read and write about them.

I'm spending most of my gaming time in Blur, Trine, and the StarCraft 2 Beta.

So, dear reader, what games have you been playing lately?  Anything I should check out?

    Mostly WoW and DDO lately, though I think I might've hit a period of MMO burnout. I really want to get into Bioshock 2 or Mass Effect more. I may do that once I get back from Slayage.

    I just finished up Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes (DS). I'm working my way through Cave Story (PC), and I'm playing Super Street Fighter 4 and 3D Dot Game Heroes on my PS3.

    MMOs are a distant memory.

    I'm definitely in a stage of MMO burnout too. Unless something groundbreaking comes along I'm going to wait until Cataclysm or Guild Wars 2.

    I've noticed that a bunch of people are playing Super Street Fighter 4. I have the original (not the Super) and I'm tempted to go back and play it. It's a great game when I'm in the right mood.

    Beej, thanks again for telling me about Trine! I'm playing it almost every day, even if I only have a few minutes to devote to it.

    If you want story in your game you should go with Mass Effect 2 over Bioshock 2. That's just my opinion, but Bioshock 2 doesn't really do anything new. Mass Effect 2 streamlines the gameplay and keeps you immersed in the world with each character's personal quest.

    My wife hacked my account to leave a comment about street fighter. That makes me extremely happy.

Latest Board Gaming

Besides video games I also regularly play board games when I'm hanging out with people face to face.  My brother, my wife, and I end up playing a lot of 3 player board games, but sometimes we get other players involved too. I realized I haven't talked much about what I've been playing in the world of board games, so here goes: Ticket to Ride - We own 3 different base versions of Ticket to Ride, 2 expansion sets, and an extra map set.  We love this game.  This is the game that gets the most overall table time when I'm playing board games with friends.  It's super accessible but still holds fun for people who have been playing the game for a long time.  I recommend this as a great beginner board game for anyone. Masquerade - A hidden role game where roles are constantly switching hands.  You're limited in actions on your turn and can only take one action.  This means that a lot of the time you're not entirely sure what role you currently have.

S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”

E3 Hype! E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN.  Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about.  You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed.  This is what we get for so many years of announcing games way ahead

What is Blaugust? 2023 Edition

I jumped right into the previous post without actually explaining Blaugust.  So... what is it?  Blaugust is an excuse to get people blogging... in August.  Hence, Blaugust! I'm not the best person to pitch it, but Blaugust is put on by a long time friend of mine, Belghast.  Here's what he had to say about Blaugust for the 2023 kickoff: Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place in August each year that focused on blogging and other serialized content. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly. For years blogging has been dwindling, and in part, Blaugust was my attempt and reversing that course by compiling a bunch of veteran bloggers in one place and making it super easy to ask questions and get answers. The idea is that this festival of blogging can help reignite dwindling fires for the next year and give folks a sense of kinship as a result. Ea
