Neither the show nor the novels were all that good, but the show had Tabrett Bethell. In this rare case I say just see the show (and just season 2 at that) and forget the novels. Especially the later ones...man, if I didn't have a compulsion to finish every series I start, I'd have given up on them like 3-4 books in. They basically turn into a bunch of Ayn Rand rants. The best way I've heard the ridiculousness expressed is "Richard carves a statue that turns people into capitalists." It sounds hilarious, but it's not that far from the truth.

I'm the same way, which is to say I'll be reading the second to last WOT book when it hits, even though I really don't care at this point, I got this far so it's almost unthinkable not to see it through.   Also, lots and lots of Civ 5.

Load up older games w/ an active mod community.



I've been burning up days recently ever since I started a new Hearts of Iron 2 campaign with the 'Kaiserreich' mod (alternate reality in which the German Empire won WW I, Russia didn't become Communist, etc.).

Also re-installed Medieval 2 Total War (gonna re-get the Third Age mod, currently have the WiP version of the Westeros mod. Greyjoy FTW!)



Oh, and I have to finish a Mass Effect playthrough (so I can replay ME2)



Aaaaand maybe have my book reading backlog...err...reduced. (recently finished The Calling, moving on to ME: Ascension, but got sidetracked by Frederick the Great )

College Football starts soon that will keep my weekends busy until January. My wife is due January too, so between her and my Sooners. I won't have much on my mind gaming wise, but if I do find some time to waste. I plan on spending it on NCAA 11 and FIFA 11. I have done eight runs one of each origin and two canon characters, so unless they release a DLC that has story relevence for our Warden. I probably won't pick up DA:O for quite some time, and I'm not to interested in DA:2, but I will watch forums ever so vigilantly to read the news good or bad.

[phantomrachie24]

I originally planed DAO on my xbox360, but then decided that DA2 will be far prettier on the PS3 and that I'd want to carry saves over so I got a copy of DAO for my playstation and will probably spend a lot of time completing that a few times.

Finish ME2 again and I am replying Fallout 3 while I wait for Fallout: New Vegas and once that comes out I am sure I will spend a ridiculous amount of time playing that.

Apart from gaming, I have a stack of books I have been meaning to read and there is work of course

Maybe I'll replay Oblivion. I don't know why it gets hated on so much around here. It's a great game.

(it's on sale on Steam today too!)

We crap on oblivion because Morrowind was so much better, and Oblivion symbolizes how RPGs are being 'streamlined/dumbed down" for casuals.

I played a TON of Oblivion, and I managed to have fun.  But good lord, the "close all them darn gates" quest was atrocious and the broken level scaling ruined both combat and character development.

I still play Bloodmoon and Tribunal,  IMO Tribunal is a great example of how to streamline an RPG like Morrowind without dumbing it down like Oblivion.

Tribunals quest lines are also fantastic.

Two Worlds II, that game is actually looking good.

I actually managed to enjoy Two Worlds 1, as long as you play it more like a GTA and don't expect Morrowind, it can be pretty cool

[Haexpane]

Cabo Wabo tequila tomorrow at Chevy's. I never thought I'd say it, but the Sammy Hagar Cabo Wabo margarita special is actually quite good, for a girl drink.



I prefer the homestyle Tommy's Tequila in S.F./CA but the girls can't handle it's strength, so we go to the local Chevy's for the fruity/soft drinks

I have tried to play Two Worlds three times in total, I cannot make it past the unskippable cutscenes with the most absolutely dreadful voice acting I have ever heard.

[Mikey_205]

Forget about the series. Not a fan of drastic changes that ruin visual continuity.

[Sable Rhapsody]

Hmm...at the moment, replaying a DA:O and DA:A that is so modded out its eyeballs glow. It turns out to be both better balanced and easier, but I mostly got the modded items for their prettiness rather than their combat value XD I also nabbed some fan-made campaigns for the engine...going to try those too.

For the long term, WoW funnily enough. I'm no MMO gamer, and there are only two things on God's green earth that could ever get me to shell out money for one. One is Star Wars--hence, the fangirly squeeing over TOR. The other is hitting monsters with good friends and some alcohol, and after much pleading from my boyfriend--and promises to cover most of my subscription costs--I have finally relented.

Yeah. I don't think even Wheel of Time is all that great a series (Rand is SUCH a Mary Sue it's not even funny), but at this point it's like a soap opera for me. People don't watch soap operas because they are triumphs of filmmaking, but because they "know" the characters and want to know what happens next. I can't WAIT to hear about Mat going into the Tower of You-Know-What to try to find You-Know-Who (avoiding spoilers).

I will try Winter Voices, a classic tactical RPG, with his uncommon pictural and sound designs, it could be a great surprise.Waiting for the Gamescon to learn more about it, but one thing is sure, the roots of cRPGs are coming back.

[filetemo]

I'm playing Drakensang 2 and waiting for an august 17 trailer of DA2.

University mostly... time passes fast if you study the one and only thing that doesn't bore you to death, and in fact, makes you feel like "What the hell just happened?!" ... yep, that's chemistry for you

The voice acting is indeed awful, indeed, but I think the game is maybe %5 cutscenes.  The game is much more fun if you play it like a 3D diablo style and ignore the story

[GodofEmperors]

I will be busy with Fallout New Vegas, Fable 3, and Dead Space 2.

[London]

Right now I'm trudging through ME-1, trying to force myself to play that since I bought ME1 and 2.

Since ME isn't really holding my attention, I'm catching up on books, tv shows, and movies I've missed while obsessed with MMOs.

May then play Dragon Age again, or just waste time on Diablo 2.

[SgtElias]

Probably study and write, the two things I do on a nearly daily basis, anyway.



. . . and check and recheck any new announcements concerning DA 2 and TOR.

[Chuvvy]

Stalker CoP

Metro 2033

Fallout New Vegas

Mafia 2

Two Worlds II



I think I might have posted in this thread before.
