I ordered it on Sunday, and got it on Wednesday. I’ve been playing it since, so goodbye life. It’s every bit as great as I imagined. I started a Human Paladin on Azuremyst Realm and got him to level 16. I’ve explored a few areas and solved about 80 to 90 different quests.

A friend ordered his copy at the same time, so the plan was to create characters we would only play together. The problem is he has other friends that already play the game, so we wanted to play on the same Realm. This would be great if he hadn’t told me the wrong Realms for three times already. That is why I also have 2 characters bellow level 10 that I won’t be playing anymore. Tonight, I hope we will start on the right Realm.

As for the second expansion, I won’t be buying it until the price drops a bit. As I understand, most of the additions are high level anyway.

Since I now finally have flat rate DSL, I decided to start an MMORPG. A few of my friends started playing to. I created a magician, and got him to level 21 within a few days. The game got upgraded since the last time I played, so it’s much more fun now. I wonder what kind of event they prepared for Christmas.

I finally have it, and it’s great. I haven’t completed Fallout 2, but it didn’t affect this game. I created a diplomatic type character with an emphasis on the repair, speech and stealth skills. I also decided to invest in small guns, so I can use sniper rifles. I got out of Vault 101 and reached Megaton. There, I solved a few quests and disarmed the bomb. I’m level 4 right now and I still have much to do in Megaton, so I won’t be leaving so soon.

This is pretty much the only thing I’ve been playing for the past few days. I played it with a friend in coop mode. We unlocked a few characters, and finished a few stories. It’s a fun and simple game, but with enough room for depth and skill for it not to get too boring.

For the last few days, I’ve been mostly playing Civilization IV, so nothing special there. I’ve also played some other games.

Far Cry 2 (PC)

Reached 52% on Far Cry 2 and stopped there. The game started out good, but now it’s getting really boring, really fast. It’s just the same old thing over and over again. It turns out I got it a bit wrong. Those faction leaders weren’t really faction leaders, but just the local bosses, so there’s a whole bunch of guys to kill. I also got a few new buddies. I hope they won’t die this time.

The Witcher – Enhanced Edition (PC)

I started the original, but never completed it. Since this came out, I decided to try again. I didn’t play much; just the tutorial intro, up to my first meditation.

Final Fantasy XII (PCSX2 – PC)

Since some PCSX2 plugins got updated, I can finally play this game on the PC. It works almost flawlessly. In five hours of gameplay, it crashed only once. I got to the part where I have to save Penelo with the airship. Vaan is level 10.

Since I haven’t been playing coop for a long time, I decided to try it solo. It took me two hours, but I started and completed it today. It was on easy, so I’ll try on a higher difficulty later. I unlocked all of the standard challenge stages and two secret ones, so that’s another thing I can waste my time on. It’s a great game, so I’m really looking forward to the 3D sequel.

I installed this one about two weeks ago, but I haven’t been playing it much. I don’t know why, because the game is excellent. I played almost the entire day yesterday and got the story 22% complete. I also completed a bunch of side quests, and finally got a new stash of malaria pills. One of my buddies is now missing in action, sadly. I didn’t notice he was in trouble, so by the time I realized it, he was already gone. I don’t know if he comes back after a while, so I’m doing missions for other buddies, including the one I saved recently. I will try to play some more today.

EDIT: I’ve completed 42 percent of the story and got to a whole new area of the game which is, as far as I can tell, as big as the first one. I lost all of my buddies in a gunfight, but I think that’s how it was supposed to happen. The leaders of both factions are now dead, so I’m not really sure what will happen next.

This is a sequel to the game that started the Heroes of Might & Magic genre. It basically plays the same, except you move around the map in real time. The battles are similar with the addition of spirits you can summon. Units have various special skills you can use, and the hero casts spells on the battlefield. There are lots of quests and things to explore, so it doesn’t get boring. My hero is a paladin now on level 10. I’ve fought the first boss battle, and tamed the first two spirits of rage. I’ve been playing it for over a week now.

This one was on my PC for almost a month. I finished a level or two every day, so last night, I completed the last one. It’s a fun indie game, in which you build structures using various goo balls. The physics make the game fun. Since it’s an indie game, please support the developer as I want World of Goo 2! 

For the past few days, I’ve been playing this with a friend. We’ve finished musou mode with two characters, and got to the last mission with a third. It’s really fun to play, and the graphics are much nicer than in Samurai Warriors 2. This one will be played for a long time. The only thing I miss is the shop from Samurai Warriors 2.
