Just started a new WoW character on Kronos, which is a 3rd party vanilla WoW server. F2P. Level cap is 60, has the old talent tree which is tons better (imo) and much more customizable than the current system, 40 man raids. I think the content covers everything up to Naxx. Server is actually pretty high population also. Mainly playing for the nostalgia of it all since I bought WoW the day of release and a majority of my time in the game took place pre-burning crusade. Took like 1.5 hours to get to level 5, how the times have changed lol. www.kronos-wow.com/ |

I have it installed but it's been a while since I played it. It's an awesome game but I just have a hard time sticking with it, I feel like it gets tiresome to play. You have a Tier 10 yet? They have giant battles only for Tier 10s now. |

So far the highest I have is tier 7, 1 TD and 2 heavy tanks (respectively):
T25/2
IS
Tiger I
I really like the IS and the Tiger but I find myself using the Matilda IV most of the time, tier 5 (premium) medium tank, or the VK 36.01H (tier 6 German heavy tank) a lot.
Also really enjoy using the KV-2 with that huge short-barrel gun, it can easily one-shot stuff but it's very short range. I have hit stuff from far away with it but most of the time it'll miss at long range.
*edit* I remember one time I was in the IS and saw this light tank trying to sneak by to get to our artilleries. I turned the turret and fired blindly just as I lost sight of him but it happened to hit him, he was up in flames instantly.
It's also a lot of fun to ram into enemy tanks to kill them, I've done it a lot with the Tiger.

Luckily the T28 Prot is amazing. So is the T30. The T30 and the T-10 are my highest at Tier 9. Both are a lot of fun. The T-10 is like the IS on steroids and the T30 is brutal. I'm hoping to get a Tier 10 at some point soon because I want to try the crazy 30 on 30 battles they have now. |

My favorite thing I ever did in WoT was taking out like a KV-1 with my small T-50. This was back before they "balanced" it by reducing its max speed and turning radius. I was able to circle his tank and keep knocking out his tracks. In forward and reverse I was faster than his gun's turning speed. I chipped away at him for like 30 seconds before he died.

So on December 7th World of Tanks is taking a tank out of rotation for good, unless you unlock it before then, if you have it before Dec 7th you get to keep it.
Getting it would require me to grind out the entire UK Tank Destroyer line in a little under a month.
I don't know if I have it in me to play that much WoT in that short a period of time. I might just drive myself nuts trying to do that. Trying to psyche myself up but man that is a lot of work.

Destiny 2. I had two weeks worth of solid content. After that? Dunno. I have three characters at what feels like a power level soft cap of 275. I qualify for the raid if I'm in a premade group but if I understand correctly I need to be 280 to pug it. Reaching 280 looks like it will take weeks. Months even. I basically feel capped out as a solo player on wait for the "expansion" they want 15 bucks for. Who releases an expansion two months after release anyway? Activision I guess. Weak.

Yeah, there's been some big backlash lately about buying a full game and not getting all the content. Reddit is having a field day with the new Star Wars game, and the insane cost to unlock characters. I'm hoping people stick to their....guns.... and back off the microtransaction/season pass/expansions that provide an almost complete game bullshit that's going on. I love Destiny 2, but I'm also a casual gamer these days and I'm moving through the opening content pretty slowly. I doubt I'm going to drop $15 on the expansion unless there's something substantial to offer.

After 5 years of very casual on-and-off World of Tanks I finally unlocked my first Tier X tonight:
I only did 2 matches with it because I need to go to bed. Didn't get a chance to do the crazy 30vs30 battles yet. Gonna do that tomorrow.

It is very possible. My memory is shot these days. I know I kept missing you last Diablo season, and when I did see you online it was the kid. Heh.

I found Saints Row IV (X360) for two quid in a charity shop recently, from looking over the achievements I never finished it the first time around but annoyingly I seem to have deleted the savegame for space somewhere along the line, grrf!... just been grinding to get the powers/weapons back the last couple of times I've played but still a fun game. Plus I can use colour-adjustable 'pasties' to make it look like my character has her tits out... "Back of the net!"

So when I was a kid I loved River City Ransom. I know people say this about a lot of games but it was really ahead of its time. A double dragon style beat em up with an a non-linear open world and rpg elements. It became a cult classic and is on a lot of top NES games of all time lists. I found out about this remake a while ago then I spaced it: store.steampowered.com/app/422810/River_City_Ransom_Underground/Picked it up on sale for $10. Prolly gonna stream it on twitch at some point. |

I'm pretty familiar with RCR. Buddy of mine had it and was one of his favorite games so we 2P'd it all the time. Really fun game.

Wow H1Z1 IS shit.
I joined the test server for my first match. Stand around for 10 minutes and nothing happens. Match never started.
So I launch the regular game and it crashes over and over. Never even got to play.

I bought Assassin's Creed Origins a few weeks back, the fucking game still won't play on my system. I put in a support ticket two weeks ago, no response.
I've been playing the new Wolfenstein game. I'm completely lost with the story, they've gone down some pretty strange corners, but I guess that's the problem when you're trying to base your game around killing Nazis for the last 30 years.

Almost to the end of Wolfenstein II, it's a great game. Been playing 14 hours and heard the game is anywhere from 15-17 hours on average. I'm playing at a higher difficulty and have died a lot though.
I like how at the beginning it makes you choose either Fergus or Wyatt from the first game. Not sure how the game differs depending on who you choose but I'll probably do another playthrough to see.
I picked Wyatt on the first playthrough even though I saved Fergus in Wolfenstein 1.

Since people are comparing it to Baldur's Gate 2 and other top end CRPGs I bought Divinity Original Sin 2 for $40 on sale.
I wanted to wait but eh, I had $46 in my Steam wallet so I am not out actual money.
Streaming it on twitch right now if anyone wants to watch link is under my avatar

Just finished Until Dawn on the PS4 Pro Elite Console Pheasant Edition. These games are kinda cool, it's like playing a movie and they use real digitized actors and I spent some time taking screenshots of Hayden Panettiere's tight rectum. You can kinda get a glimpse of the camel toe if you get the right angle, pretty neat.
I fucking actually re-purchased the entire Unreal franchise for $4 the other day because I'm too lazy to dig out CD's. It's been like 10 years since I've played UT2004 and OMG do I suck the poodles doodle and swallow the gravy now! I was amazed that there's still servers up and running and some people still playing! Just can't get into first person shooters anymore and UT2004 runs like herpes infested ass on Win10. Since when is 1000fps laggy and choppy? Since I've played UT2004 on Win10!
My kick these days are racing games....been avidly playing MXGP3 online and they have a new official licensed supercross game coming out around the middle of February. I'm really horny about it.
Still looking forward the Detroit Becoming Human on the PS4. Yup, I'm turning back into a n00b.
Still playing my arcade games.....
What else? Uh I need to get me some prostitution....lol.
Hope this gets you all back up to date!

In the Halloween PSN sales I bought this gun-game called Deadstorm Pirates for next to nothing and I've been playing that myself recently, 2-player on-and-off with one of the kids. It's actually quite good for an on-rails lightgun shooter. I like how it increases the credits the more you play it. That's a good reward for replaying, and you'll need to because at first you won't have enough anyway, even on very easy. I've just managed to complete it in single player on very easy with 6, but we'll probably need all 12 we have at the moment to do it in 2-player mode because that's harder (some enemies require you to hit them with both players at the same time and since one of us has to use a controller, that's not always as easy as it sounds)...
And last week I dusted off the steering wheel (probably hadn't been used in at least a year) to try and play WRC4 with it. Was actually a lot of fun. I haven't been able to use the wheel with anything else than Gran Turismo (it never felt right in Grid or Need for Speed: Shift). This game however (with some tinkering to the settings) plays great. I'm still not better than I am with the controller but it is more fun. It's also a lot more fun than the Rally stages in GT, even though the force feedback in that game is a lot more realistic. But in this game you can throw the car better through corners.
