They've put about 40 hours on the Dark Souls game in the lounge of my dorm... and it's only been out for like 4 days.

Its interesting to see a couple times but not as fun to watch as the more bash-everyone-to-death games.

I'm a pretty avid Fire Emblem player.

Great games. Radiant Dawn is quite challenging at some points. Like when your sucky team has to fight your epic super buffed team.

Worms 2 was the (banana) bomb back in the day for me. Are the newer Worms games any good, does anyone know?

I think they're much of the same

I didn't like Worms 3D, too fiddly.

This is not a party game (well, it can be, though). I have a friend at college, we played W:A religiously and very competitively . We actually started playing for "money" (it was only to boost competition, small amount of 0.5$ per game at the end of the month).

Thing is, at one point, it went from just playing Worms to plain hacking.
First, my friend has made a program that, when run before each match, it would shuffle his team members so that I do not know the order of the worms. Now, to counter that, as we played on Hamachi (fake lan) and he didn't protect his file-sharing settings right, I managed to get in and steal the info about teams that program made for him..
To counter it, I've made loads of different teams so each he had to start writing them down anew (was lazy to code anything).
Next step was that I manage to scrap replays that are created real-time to get this info, and he started sniffing packages that I send to get the same info.
At that time we kinda decided that we should stop with at as it was getting ridiculous .

He is still in the lead with some small difference of 5 games, tho we haven't played it for a year or two.
:D

Worms Armageddon (Special Addition) > Worms World Party > Older Worms > Newer (esp 3D) worms.

It's kind of like Super Smash Bros, in that if you keep the items to a minimum and play duels it can be a very strategic game, but if you play with 6 different teams (or in Smash's case, 4 players) and all the crazy items, it's totally a party game. I enjoy Smash in both context, but I seldom took Worms that seriously.

I enjoyed the single player of Worms 3d reasonably well, but the multiplayer definitely lacked.

Oh man, I used to be one of those crazy guys who could ninja-rope all over the board in Worms2, as easily as other people walk around.  Haven't played in maybe 6 years though...that is an awesome awesome game.

Currently I play Minecraft from time to time, Civ5, Skyrim.  I'm also a fan of more straightforward adventure games that just play through from start to finish, instead of building up some expansive world.

Speaking of Worms, Worms Revolution aka Worms Fortress 2 came out just a few weeks ago. It's gotten great reviews so far, I might pick it up. Worms: The Facebook app now exists too.

Speaking of Super Smash Bros, anyone in the Cambridge, MA area should come to the SSBM tournament I'm hosting this Saturday! If you play Melee, that is. You might be kinda bored otherwise.

My YouTube channel (DD151) is almost solely dedicated to 0% growths playthroughs of Fire Emblem games on the hardest difficulties; check it out if you'd like ;) (not nearly as exciting as LPs, though).

Your videos are good.  And as a guy who watches dumb youtube videos practically all day, I can say that no matter what you think of your own game footage videos, they can't be worse than Pewdiepie.

I liked Diablo III, but I liked D II better, but maybe it's because I'm a grandpa when it comes to computer gaming, I'm already 27! Heck, my first game was Paperboy on computer with a black and orange screen.

Do you guys sometimes get the need to play old computer games due to new boardgames coming out? Reading and watching videos about Suburbia makes me feel like playing Sim City again....

Sort of. I'm crashing in Somerville until I find a place in Cambridge, I guess. If we have this many Cantablasians/somervallians on the forum we should have a get together of some kind. (I guess Bostonians can come too).

Diablo 3 turned out quite a disappointment. Not all bad because i made close to $400 on the RMAH, but they messed up the pacing and progression of the game through inferno. Torchlight 2 is worth a download for a fun dungeon crawler, the complete single player is free as a demo on steam.


If you want a seriously fantastic puzzle game, go check out Braid on steam.

I've been playing Super Meat Boy on and off. It's one of those games that gets more addictive the more time you invest in it, especially once you realize you're actually getting better at platforming.

Also, on a somewhat related note, Plants vs Zombies is downloadable for free until Nov 10th at stopzombiemouth.com, for the interested. Use the code "PEAH8R" to get it.

I should look into Super Meat Boy, I must have over 100 hours of gameplay in another of McMillen's games, The Binding of Issac. Just Mom's Contacts and Demon Baby to go for Golden God.

More addictive the more time you invest in it.
