Started Valkyria Chronicles yesterday. Anime kids are fighting WW2 in a fantasy world. It's unit management, tactics, and loads of anime cutscenes. I've been warned by viewers that it can get grindy and pretty hard.

I liked the game, but the tank controls with a mouse bugged the hell out of me.

They did take some getting used to. Not sure I'd want to again. :D

I'm using  controller, so I'm ok so far. :) So far I've played up to where you select your squad and tried the first skirmish.

I thought it was so you could be on that monument in Iceland.

Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption.

Pretty fun successor to the Quest for Glory games. The PC is an inveterate punster.

Finally starting to get into The Witcher 3.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Humble Monthly had Conan, I've been playing around with that. Feels like ARK in a more (to me) interesting setting.

Skyrim on my ol ps3. my first character to make it past 2nd or 3rd level before i got bored of sucking at the game. i picked it out of my pile of non fallout games simply because i wanted a sandbox that was pretty in contrast to fallouts' wasteland aesthetic, which mostly suits me well. the lack of VATs is annoying to me when i try any new game that doesn't have something similar. anyway i was going through my old saves, newest one was from 4 years ago, i had somehow got my character to 8th level but quit when i couldn't get past some witches who kept ambushing and i just could not react fast enough to beat them. but this time around, i figured it out on the first try. run at them with two handed axe. and heal over and over when i get a chance to breathe. from there i played most of last weekend and this weekend and rounded my character with the predictable name Pris to 14th. sticking with the two handed mostly for fighting, enjoying having almost equal stamina, health and magicka. really using the ethereal shout to some spectacular one hit kills, letting folks try to hit me, then getting in an awesome power attack. bam. when it works it's so fun. i still really suck at archery, and find the aiming too hard for my several thumbed hands. so button mashing and lots of self healing is doing the trick for me. potions are a luxury.

next weekend i will be starting my new mutants and masterminds rpg that starts of in the late 40's America, with lots of of the era styled heroes and villains. but which is whitch?
:p

Yeah it is pretty fun. If you enjoyed QfG I would pick it up.

Taking a few days off from WoW before I try to plow through the pre-expansion content.  I'm thinking of giving LotRO another go.  It's been a few years.
