Yeah. Those pigly little fucks are annoying, especially the ones that vomit and disease you.

I've only gotten one disease so far and it was from skeletons. Friggin' tetanus.

I have a special hate for the skeleton guys who spam that goblet thing that gives you 20 stress AND damages.

So im interested but cautious.

It looks like what DayZ should have been. I'm sure someone will mod it into zombies and such.

I would really hope it would be more STALKER-ish if they bring in zombies.

Well it is being partially developed by people who worked on STALKER, which is why i am interested in it as i love this games. But i would like a break from the zombies and monsters with these kind of games, just straight up Human vs Human.

Well when i mean DayZ i dont mean zombies, i mean it being a broken buggy piece of shit that stays in "alpha" for years and where you can die climbing up ladders (i legitimately saw some break their legs climbing a ladder in this game, then dying because of it)

I've heard it's also being developed by the guys who made Contract Wars as well.
Hopefully this should be a good one.

The steam version of DayZ is just a way to cash in on the whole DayZ fad. I don't think anyone is even working on that anymore.

Ave ye Necromancer!

Started playing Darkest Dungeon again now that is been fully released, its painful, but so satisfying when you emerge victorious. Thats the first boss down, and i almost bailed out on it as my party had taken some serious hits prior to the fight with him and were on low health, but thanks to my Occulist i was able to just keep bringing him to the front after he summoned his skeletons and had my two crusaders constantly wailing on him until he died.

Ser Robin though, he was annoying me, bastard became selfish and would not stop with the damn passing of turns and insults, was almost tempted to let him die but kept him in the end, and he landed the final blow.

Started a new game of XCOM (classic, ironman).

So far? Nothing but perfect missions. Only 1 major injury and 1 minor one. Only one game where I didn't get both Meld containers.
No deaths.

My assault is cleaning up the battlefield, seriously?

I had forgotten how long TLoU was. I haven't even got past Summer yet in the Remastered version.
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

Was on the last wave of my run on the Hoth level of Star Wars Battlefront on the highest difficulty.

Down to my last health and all collectibles collected...

Only to ruin it away with a suicide using a smart rocket trying to take out an AT-ST.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I should've recorded it.

I'd make a long rant about how I dislike less-lethal takedowns don't reward you, but I am too annoyed about my recent loss in Battlefront.

Less lethal takedowns do reward you, with a better ending. And an easier game.

It fucking doesn't.

I would love the best ending, but the lethal takedowns are much more satisfying.

It just isn't worth it.

Satisfying and rewarding are two different things. Sure, jumping down from the Golden Cat onto a guard below and then proceeding to get into a huge and awesome fight that you win is satisfying, but how rewarding is it?

Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far?
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many died
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go
