Note to self: wipe Mirocu's hard drive, and all backups.

Too late! My two fresh backups are already in the very strong gun cabinet!

I totally agree about having to play both sides. Annoyingly I prefer Iorveth's path, but Roche as a character, one of the reasons I got rid of the game. No matter which path I chose when replaying, I was never really happy with it.



I thought that last boss fight was tough, then tried to make my way to the capital on foot.

It was hell. I loved it.

I like that there's no happily ever after, makes it seem more believable. Really must make an effort on that game, try a run as a Magic Archer. Then maybe another run as a Mystic Knight.

Yeah I liked it but was also disappointed. There's this promise of a better future dangled in front if you and then jerked away at the last second. I will admit that it was a refreshing change from the sunshine filled endings that we're used to because in reality, sometimes you give it your best effort and then things don't work out as you'd hoped.

Just finished Bioshock Infinite's Burial At Sea DLC. Very good, but too short for the price tag, and you can get a full review on my blog.

Isn't it only Episode 1 though?

Yes it is, but you're still paying £12 for 3 hours of gameplay.

I thought it was for all the episodes(ala the Walking Dead game,pay 14.99 for all the episodes and get them as they release).Three hours is pretty short for 15 euros.

I understand you like Infinite better than the first game, is that right, Mustard? I´ve probably asked you this before, but what did you think of the second game compared to the first?

You understand correctly. Infinite's a quality game. It's like the first one only with a pair of awesomely snarky scientists and rollercoaster rails.


I don't think you have, actually. In answer to yonder question, I think 2 was good, but not as good as the first. A lot of the time it retreaded the same ground as 1 without really getting the point, the repeated 'defend the Little Sister from Splicers as she gathers ADAM' parts grated and it retconned some of the lore by introducing a completely new important character into Rapture's history (though after Infinite I have a feeling that isn't a retcon, though that ventures into massively spoilerific territory), but it was still a good, atmospheric game, the Big Sister fights were incredibly intense and being able to go underwater was a good way to take advantage of Rapture's submarine setting, something which 1 never really did beyond the Bathyspheres. So yeah, overall, pretty good, not as good as Bioshock 1, probably worth trying.

Multiplayer was pretty fun too.

If I was to make a complaint about every Bioshock game,it's that the combat is a bit s**te.

I thought it was pretty decent

For an FPS it's pretty poor.

On the topic of FPS,I've been playing and loving COD 4:Modern Warfare.The last good Infinity Ward made COD but not the last good COD.

Although Ghosts is really bad and you shouldn't get it.

Been playing a fair bit of Dragon's Dogma today, and I downloaded a new game on my phone. Drisk, it's Risk, on Android. I'm not particularly impressed with it, but at least it was free.

And just to weigh in on the whole Bioshock debate:

1>>>2

Damn good game, on all fronts.

I've been meaning to get around to play the first Bioshock. Seems like whenever I get the time, I just don't though. I did play Bioshock Infinite, however, which I thought was fun but way too short.

Currently revisiting Heroes of Might and Magic III - a turn based strategy game. It's nothing short of amazing!

Well, I for one can recommend it. I have a review in a thread in the RPG section, first page. It doesn´t contain any real spoilers so it´s pretty safe to read if you want to

Drawn back into Daggerfall. The DOSBox version is much smoother than my earlier DOS partition with Mo'Slo setup... and does not suffer from the "invisible quest item" glitch.

Beyond that- I have gotten further in the Main Quest than ever before- as this was the first "MQ is NOT mandatory" game I had ever played, I tended to get wrapped up in doing guild quests and random dungeon-delving...

Survival tip for anyone who is playing- gold adds to encumbrance in this game! So- if you find yourself unable to pick up that really nifty sword because "you can't carry anymore stuff," go to a bank and exchange your gold for a letter of credit... or to a jewelry store and buy gems.

Another thing I had forgotten was some of the atmospheric stuff they did- there is some macabre humor such as:



Off to do some more random delving....

Now that is just stupid

I have an update thread here if you feel like contributing. It´s only me so far!

I'd say it's realistic.

Gold's freakin' heavy.

I've had the urge to play an FPS for the last few days, finally did something about it:

Picked up Bioshock for £5, I've just reached the medical pavillion playing on hard.

And Borderlands GOTY, for £8, which I'll be firing up later this evening.

Oblivion's on hold until Monday, but Daggerfall might see some action.
