Just finished playing through Ori and the Blind Forest. Excellent puzzle platformer, very well-written too, but god damn those boss sequences (for lack of a better term) brought out the worst in me...

Did you play with mouse keyboard or controller?

I don't know much about Lego other than I believe it was invented in Scandinavia during the 19th century.  Other than that....was never much of a fan

Post some pics of what you've built!

Speaking of strategy games.  I'm currently playing Paradox's Crusader Kings 2.  Very tough learning curve to get into.  But seems like fun once most things are understood.

Yeah, Beyond Earth was unable to hold my interests for more than a full game basically. I still liked it and wanted to play more, but I got bored. I've had the same problem with literally all of the other Civ games except for Civ V, for some reason. Haven't put my finger on it yet.

Civ V was the first Civ game that I played, so I can't really help you figure that out. It is a very fun game.

Just started playing Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth. I bought it when it first came out but put off playing it until I finished Wolfenstein: The New Order and Saints Row: Gat out of Hell.

It's basically an updated version of one of my favorite games of all time, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. The graphics are really nice and the interface takes a little getting used to. For instance, you can't reassign keys and some of the key bindings are awkward. F11 to quicksave Ctrl-F11 to quickload ("Whoops I wanted to quickload, not quicksave!")

I bought it because a friend of mine basically forced me into it (i lost a bet and owed him the game) so I got two copies when it was 50% off.  Anyway.  It's very similar to Civ 5 mechanics wise.  The biggest difference is the Tech Tree being replaced by a Tech Web.  Otherwise quite similar. 

The issue with the Civs games is that it makes more sense to wait for expansions because they always improve the base game by A LOT.  So I'm not playing Beyond Earth yet..Civ 5 is a better game as it stands now.

Picked up DA during the discounted week but I've only played for a couple of hours. I've been spoiled by Skyrim.  The same week I got Civ 5 and Batman Arkham City (I know I'm a little behind) but I just can't get into any of them.

Oh Civ 5....

I've dumped almost 600 hours into that game :)
Hope you have all the expansions.

Yes it's early access but it's quite good and there's a lot of game play available.  They promised all the new content will be released at no additional costs and I was assured by people I trust that they won't be lying.

But you never know..at $20 it's worth.

Been playing Darkest Dungeon.

$20 off Steam.  I recommend it but beware, you'll be screaming at your PC often as the game is freaking brutal.

Well here in Montreal we haven't had snow storms but the arctic wind keeps our temps down to around -20-30 every damn day.  This winter has been terrible.

When it comes to a "Minecraft" style game, I prefer Terraria and Craft the World.

I hate these games...i hate crafting...I curse it's existence...

Hmmm DA:Origins huh? I'd rank that as one of the best RPGs of the past 20 years.  Wow that was a good game.

Yes it has a tactical combat system, which I really enjoy.  I like to be able to micromanage my party members. I hit space bar to pause combat all the time.  Sounds like you don't like that sort of tactical gameplay.  The more recent DA games leave that bahind to placate the more mainstream gamer...to my sadness...

lol the first thing that came to mind reading this thread was

"wow I can't believe it's Christmas already"

Time freaking flies these days...

I'll be seeing the movie...I don't think it will be the 3D version though.

Basically what Mercy said.  There is a proper process to move Steam content by backing up and restoring to a new location.  I do not think you should just cut and paste the folder.  I'd probably blow away all the content and redownload all from scratch.  Follow instructions on how to reinstall all Steam games.

Well, I had and played Civ III. I liked it quite a bit, but I always got bored and could never finish a game. Civ IV sucked ass. Civ V is amazing as fuck. Every other civ game usually makes me bored, but I've played and finished tons of games in Civ V with 0 boredom. Many even, with the only way to win through domination.

I may have to put it on my list, but I'm still waiting for the game that Spore was supposed to be. ;)

Also the perfect pirate game? Where are you!? Assassin's Creed is as close as it gets, which is surprising, for not inherently being a game about pirates. :)

Completely agree.  I've played over 600 hours of Civ V.  Finished 98% of the games I've started. So much fun.  Have you beat the AI on Deity mode? :)

Looks interesting to me! Didn't notice Obsidian's name anywhere.  Though I personally enjoy Obsidian's work.  I was only slightly disappointed with the buggy release of NWN2.  When the bugs were cleared out it turned out to be a very good game (minus the multiplayer aspect).

Pretty good so far, story is rather bland so far. As is already known, actual movement and many ways the game plays is Assassin's Creed-like. Wraith mode is comparable to eagle vision. Mostly hack and slash, stealth, shooting enemies, and infiltration-style/assassination-style missions. Not a whole lot of depth with customization or anything, as there isn't gear or crafting or anything. Mostly just skills and ability upgrades so far. But it's been fun anyway. Not too far into story mode yet.

Sounds like a pass to me...

Dunno about this particular case.  I like how it's a desktop.  I've moved away from towers myself and prefer everything up on desks.  But this Alienware looks like it would have bad airflow and this is a problem with all Alienware stuff.  Too much heat really reduces the lifetime of the system.  I don't see any fans on the outside of this thing (at a glance).
