- As has been the norm, it is an odd time for gaming in the Anjin household. There are several games I could be playing, but no will to dedicate myself to just one. So like a rubber ball, I've been bouncing from one game to the next.
- Guild Wars 2 - Gaming time in GW2 has slowed quite a bit since launch. Not from lack of interest, but from too much else to do. When they flipped the switch on discovery from the bank, I spend so much time running through as many possibilities as I could find. But since I'm still only in Kessex Hills, there is quite a bit of adventuring ahead of me.
- Torchlight 2 - Of all my games, TL2 has occupied me the most. I loved Torchlight in a way that makes me want to spell "love" with way too many O's. TL2 has been everything I love about that game and more. I love the side quests. And the vingettes in the zones. And the one phase beast portal I found was bonkers. I was used to everything being the same from the first game and I'm constantly surprised whenever Runic pulls off something super creative. So good.
- World of Warcraft - Yes, I played WoW last night. No, I did not cave and buy Mists of Pandaria. I spent the entire night in Nagrand, working on my perma-TBC character. I was surprised to find that the elite mobs had been converted to quest-target mobs instead. Even poor Durn the Hungerer, the saddest of all the gronn. No time for pity when there are blue quest rewards ont he line, though. I don't know when I'll see Pandaria. I doubt I'll roll a panda since I never tried a worgen or goblin either. But I do have a something to spend my time on, even if it is six year old content.
- So what has kept you occupied? Playing old favorites or discovering something new?

Bouncing between STO, GW2, and TL2, although I've been reading a bit more the last few nights so my interests may be swinging away from games for a bit as tends to happen from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI really need to start reading again, but I haven't been able to get back into it. /unsmilieface
DeleteI go in cycles. For a month or more I won't be interested in reading anything aside from my daily RSS and other stuff, then for a week or two I won't have any interest in my computer and devour a couple of books. I've just learned to go with the flow.
DeleteBeen splitting my time between DDO, SWTOR (yes, really, I'm still enjoying it), and TSW. Of the three, the one that keeps impressing me is TSW. Almost every single quest I do there seems feels like an achievement.
ReplyDeleteThe one I just finished was mainly focused on a series of tough fights. However, right smack in the middle of it was a resident evil style puzzle (find the missing bits of this plaque, then use a key to get to the next boss). Delightful to my specific tastes.
TSW seems like a game that I should investigate. If only I had a bunch more money and several more hours in the day. If you figure that out, let me know.
DeleteJust wrote a very similar blogpost :D
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, Future Me stole the idea from you and sent it back in time. Future Me is kind of a villain, so I need to find some way to change my path or the world is DOOOOOOMED!
DeleteAwww yeah! TL2 is taking up all of my time my friend. I can't seem to get enough of it. It has literally the most satisfying combat I have ever experienced in a video game!
ReplyDeleteTL2 can get crazy hectic. I love that about it.
