DEFCON, got it from a friend.
I am also interested in trying out L4D1 and L4D2 when I have some time.

A right proper chap.

I have yet to try that despite also having been given it by a friend who may or may not be the same guy.
Currently playing Dead Rising 2, nails stuck in propane tanks have never been so fun.

Guess this possible 'mutual' friend wants more people to play DEFCON
It is interesting so far though I do still need to get the hang of it a little, especially when it comes to selecting the right units and individual units.
I accidentally attacked destroyers with carriers without even using fighters or bombers.

A right proper chap.
So did the carriers try to ram the destroyers or just shout nasty things about their mums?

It's never a good idea to 'mix' units. It's much better to micromanage every fleet unit separately.
Alphadrop said:
Well some kind of fighting did take place but the carriers weren't doing that well.
Reminds me of the valuable lesson to mix units a little.
Been thinking that it would be nice if someone made a Metal Gear mod.
(no, no badly contrived storylines with moral spouting and parroting commandos, but rather the units themselves.)
You would have a mobile land based weapons platform capable of defending itself from planes and capable of launching a nuclear strike from any land mass anywhere.

Finally finished Oblivion, burning through pretty much everything the game has to offer (Every Faction/Story/Daedra/Town quest complete).
For the most part, the game is a chore (the main quest is disgustingly boring and repetitive); but there were a few gems, namely the Dark Brotherhood/Daedra quests and everything in the Shivering Isles. It's like the those three pieces were done by a completely different developer. The DB/Daedric/SI quests are seriously bursting with character (unlike 99% of the regular quests), and they're even laugh out loud funny at times.
It's a shame they fucked the rest of the game up so badly.
I guess I'll stick with the trend and replay Fallout 3 to 100% completion now. I only had to deal with a few hundred CTDs and a handful of corrupted saves (I ended my playthrough with 300 something hard saves) with Oblivion, and that was with all of the fan-patches and whatnot. Not looking forward to the CTD storm from F3 (which is seriously neglected in the fan patch department).

The fan patches can't fix anything that's hardcoded, only the devs can which is unfortunate as Beth never bothered to and introduced more bugs with the later patches.
Oddly the fan patches can make CTDs happen more often because one of the reasons is the game getting more unstable due to mods with a lot of scripting.

So you're the kind of guy to search a bathtub of shit with your bare hands in the hope of finding some diamonds ?
Well, I guess it's just a matter of having a different balance measuring what you lose (time being bored) and what you get (1% of interesting stuff)
However, I fear Fallout 3 is just full of shit, no diamonds here.
Baldur's Gate II, third playthrough. I may have unbalanced it a little by doing Watcher's Keep in chapter 2.
Yeah, too many nifty little items in Watcher's Keep (and a lot of quest items to carry around). Impressive if you got all the way through in chapter 2, however.Per said:
What's your build / companions?

And the fact that my characters popped up from level 17 or so to level 25 or so.
SkuLL said:
The Final Guardians were a pain, Demogorgon less so. I usually can't be bothered to memorize and cast buffs and counters against everything (like Death Ward), so I sometimes end up playing through most of a battle and then having my main character Fingered of Death or Imprisoned or something.
SkuLL said:
Inquisitor
Fighter
Ranger dualled to Cleric at 2
Swashbuckler dualled to Mage at 10
Sorcerer
The first three were imported straight from BG1, the other two were created new for the kits and then given the right stats, xp and so on.
Oh yeah, I remember I found the last guardians to be the most challenging fight in the game. They're a pretty strong group.
I just went with the party/companions you get from the game, didn't custom-build or import. It's all the harder, because they all have some flaws

Those are not roleplay elements, but whatever.. Wait a bit, some of those are bound to annoy you at some point. Great game, and likely my favorite of the series, but some of the decisions are retarded.
