Shadow Complex was a really fun game, and the first game I actually tried speedrunning; I'll definitely have to pick it up on PC.

If you have qualms about the writing in New Vegas, amplify them tenfold for Fallout 3.

I was thinking more along the lines of Epic Fetus, which is typically really amazing, but makes Ultra Greed very difficult.

And greed mode, the boring arena mode that you have to play countless times to unlock everything due to a hilariously antagonistic donation machine mechanic, where the chance of breaking the machine by donating increases based on how much you've donated before.

I was able to pick this up Sunday, but haven't put too much time into the expansion proper. I had to make a new character for it, since my other character is in NG+3 and I didn't want to experience it for the first time in NG+. I visited the Hunter's Nightmare several times through my progression. I first showed up…

I must be a 12 to 16 year old at heart, because my first instinct would be to scour the underside/inside of every table, book, chair, lamp, etc. for clues.

I'll have to check out what's in my area here. I haven't played a lot of board games lately since most people I know in the area aren't into that sort of thing. I only really get to do it when I visit other people or go home for a holiday or something.

I agree; it's more of a balancing act. Playing a new game is nice, but if all you're doing is playing new games then I feel like you're missing out on something.

The 2nd edition (with the green box) really does have a lot of problems with that sort of thing. I think in my copy, the little tics have no problem staying on the character cards, but most of the room tiles are slightly warped, which makes stacking them a bit of a chore.

My friends and I have agreed on a common criticism for Pandemic and cooperative games like it. It basically just devolves into one or two people making all the decisions and everyone else just following their instructions.

Yeah, Codenames and Bad Medicine sound like a good time. I'll have to look them up.

Personally, I just like playing familiar games. Playing practically any board game the first time isn't all that fun, since everyone is still fumbling around and learning the rules and strategies. (Or worse, some subset of players are experienced and end up steamrolling the other players.) So I'd argue that there's a…

I consider Betrayal to be a pretty simple game, then again I've played it enough to experience all the different scenarios. Even with new players in the mix, it still only takes about an hour and a half on average and doesn't require lengthy explanations.

I like the idea behind co-op, but I'd just like more mission variety. Since all the missions are just retooled missions from the different SC2 campaigns, you'd think they'd be cheap and quick to pump out. I've been playing as Artanis, who is OK but seems kind of a low skill protoss build. Vorazun is definitely more…

It's literally garbage??

I grinned like a big dumb idiot when the game actually presented me an option that I feel is sorely lacking in many other games. Most other lesser games would just give you one or two flavors of factions to side with, and you just do their bidding until the end credits roll. This one just presents you with two warring…

I caved and got Fallout 4, but haven't played it too much yet. Currently I did the stuff in Concord, and have been awkwardly making my way in the direction of Diamond City, while being magnetically attracted to any map markers along the way. I'm playing as the woman character, which is especially humorous as she was…

Why side with Mr. House when you can do everything on your own?

OHH YES!

I don't care that the ending doesn't reference the Rachni Queen that I saved in Mass Effect 1. I DO care that nothing I did uniting all the disparate races or anything related to that mattered in the end. All it hinged on was one final decision, and you didn't get to see any of the consequences of that decision. You…
