    If anyone has half life 2 and is looking for cool experience I strongly recommend Entropy zero, just played the first one and now gonna play through the second one. I won’t lie it’s not perfect at times but it’s nice breath of fresh air.

      Agreed. The second one is one of my favorite custom campaigns for any game. Very well done I thought.

    My friends and I started an “Indie Game Club” which is similar to a book club but for indie video games. It’s really helped to branch out and try new things that I wouldn’t usually try. And of course, if you finish the game fast enough, you can get back to the one game you have 10000+ hours in. But I’d say probably 1/3 of the games we’ve played I liked so much that I didn’t want to stop playing and go back to my usual and used the whole time to just keep playing. It’s been an excellent experience!

    I had a quiet night to myself so I thought I’d crack open the copy of Samurai Shodown on my shelf that I’ve been staring at for a few years. I played some Shodown back in my ZSNES days, I bet I can dust off the old skills!

    So anyway, three matches in and the computer has so thoroughly whipped me that I think maybe I could use a slightly more relaxing pace of game.

    So I open up the copy of Metal Slug XX on my shelf that I’ve been staring at for a few years. I played some Metal Slug back in my ZSNES days, I bet I can dust off the old skills!

    So anyway, a couple of levels in and the computer has so thoroughly whipped me that I decide to fall back to good ol’ Broforce. Nice relaxing Broforce…

    I just finished Doom 3 after getting it for free on GoG a while back. It’s… not terrible really. Not as good as the average Doom game, but not as bad as people made it out to be. The combat is weak, but the atmosphere is great.

    Oh hello again Terraria. Plus I just found out that last year they re-released the first “final update” of the game from 2012 as a beta on steam, basically making it easy to play the old content again. So I’m sure I’ll give that a go this weekend.

        That looks disturbingly easy to get into, although the first gameplay video I looked up was 4 hours long and the guy spent the majority of it rearranging houses in his town XD

        Do you play it?

          I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I have something like 50 hours in it. I felt the similarities to Terraria pretty immediately with all of the trinkets/accessories, the bosses mostly all have a drop per class and stuff like that. When I beat the standard progression I hadn’t explored much of the settlement stuff, or potions, or magic or thrown or ranged or summoning. I’m playing as a range focused character now.

          I will end up putting too much time into it for sure, but I might still prefer Terraria because I grew up with it.

    I started a new obsession with Total war 3 Kingdoms. There is several mods that basically adds new campaigns with new mechanics so I’ve just been doing that. I recently completed a campaign that was labelled “very hard”. You start out as a vassal state with really strong neighbors who will go to war with you at the drop of a hat. I restarted that campaign like 6 times just to be able to survive the starting situation.

    I’ve tried other Total War games but this one i feel got everything right, from the interface to diplomacy. I tried the forst Warhammer one and Rome and didn’t like them. So i got a refund before that ran out.
