The Gaming Thread

[KabeRinnaul]

Wow, missed this thread for a long time, somehow. But I play D&D 3.5 (specifically the Pathfinder variant) and Shadowrun 3rd. I've tried a few WoD games, but none of them ever really clicked with me, and Silver Age Sentinels d20, but that's not as frequent as the first two.

I used to have a solid live group before college, but while I'm trying to get one back together from my coworkers, I'm mostly playing online now.

does anyonle play D+D or Shadowrun through IM or any of the web-based systems. Some friends and I are looking for a way to play shadowrun together.

Some of my friends (though mainly Kheldarson) and I play via Skype, AIM, and a small forum, or even IRC at times; but things have been kinda dead lately thanks to everyone having school and/or work.

Maybe someone ought to start a thread for people trying to find games...

13 days! Whoot whoot!

Now 12. I pre-ordered it for the PC, since I bought Dragon Age: Origins for the PC and I want the special armor. But now I'm kinda wishing I'd gone for the Xbox 360 version so I can use my old characters. Also, before I install it, I need to buy & install a bigger hard drive in my gaming laptop.

At any rate, I hope it's just as good as the first one. Might help to take my mind off of how crappy my life is in other areas.

Hmm, lately I've been playing WoW (Argent Dawn server, if anyone else is on there) and the Penny Arcade RPGs, and the Professor Layton games on my DS (very good for subway commutes!)

Used to play D&D, but it just hasn't been the same since my group moved away. We've tried playing online for a while which would be fine and dandy except that people AFK from voice chat without telling us, and then we're stuck sitting around indefinitely for them to get back and finish their turn. Ugh. I think I need to find new local players, haha!

That's the reason I got it for Xbox 360...moving my old characters and continuing play with them. That, and 46" big screen

Played Bayonetta for a little over 5 hours so far, I'm probably about halfway through story mode, and I gotta say—I'm not hooked. I've only got it for a week, and I still managed to not play it at all last night.

Anyone else on here play Mount & Blade?

Am I annoying yet?

Am I annoying yet?

Yes. But not because of this.

I finished my first playthrough of Borderlands tonight... and immediately began my second!

Upon beginning the second playthrough, I decided to play around a little more with the Eridian weapons I had picked up on the first playthrough, especially the 10101 Cannon I picked up after offing Major Master McCocksucker (note: not his actual in-game name.) I finally found a good use for that thing and its slow-moving "ball lightning" shots: the raiders you encounter early in the game do not like it AT ALL! One-hit kills... on raiders that are at Level 32 (or thereabouts)!

Have I mentioned that this game's addictive as hell?

But upgraded, even nastier skags are NOT happiness. And I am NOT looking forward to seeing how much nastier the frakkin' spiderants get on the second playthrough.

[LewisLegion]

Yes. But not because of this.

Love you too, Broomjockey

I know I should be super-excited for Mass Effect 2. But frankly, I'm MORE excited for what's coming out on February 23rd...

on that day, I'll be getting my hands on the first expansion pack for Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned!!!

Borderlands, now with 100% more zombies! I... can't... wait!!!

THANK YOU. I always thought it was Dragonforce for some reason! But thanks man!
