What Are You Currently Playing? (May 2007)

[ilthaniel]

Dungeon Siege I (intermittendly) and WoW (I'd almost say obsessively.. Almost )

[Somni]

Battlechess. Old, I know but still fun.

[Joel007]

I used to love playing laser chess. So much more difficult than normal chess

[cornelius]

Battle realms (demo)
diablo II

planning on giving the Elder scrolls IV Oblivion expansion a try shivering Isles, looks brutal ( in a good sense of the word)

want to get into Dungeon siege again, multiplayer that is

[Leisha]

Spider Solitare on the PC (I'm a hard gamer, don't you know?).

[ilthaniel]

Ooh, card games, I totally forgot about those...

[Firefly]

Currently playing Neverwinter Nights 2, love rpg's however this one seems a little bugged in parts. Cornelius with regards too Oblivions Shivering Isles it gets dull and repetitive pretty quickly.

[Sir_Sparhawk]

the game that im playing currently is Dwarf Fortress

[Lenny]

Two months later...

Still playing Oblivion. Yet still no Shivering Isles. I do wish Bethesda would hurry up with it, or at least announce when they're bringing it to the PS3.

I was playing Freelancer (would've been about the seventh time through but I got a mod so I didn't need to do the storyline) but the giant awesome overhaul mod I was using liked to make the game CTD every few minutes, which as you can imagine is rather frustrating when doing a mission that involves flying 30km, destroying five heavily-armoured battleships and their escorts and then flying back to a base so it saves.

Also been 'playing' Orbiter on and off, it's this cool space flight simulator, been trying to play through some downloaded scenarios where a ship of human colonists arrive in the 55 Cancri system, but I have yet to master the art of orbital transfer :P (well, I did transfer from a moon to it's parent gas giant once, but that was because I burnt out all my fuel for a few seconds on a 1000x timescale).

And once again, I'm installing Neverwinter Nights 2 to have a go at it again, never got round to finishing it since I had put all my awesome crafting materials on Shandra and of course (zomg spoiler!) she kills herself eventually, before I had a chance to get them back . That put me off since I was playing a fighter-sorcerer and wanted to craft myself some armour with negative arcane spell failure so I wouldn't be cursing when all my fireballs fizzled out :P

I hadn't played any games for absolutely ages. About 6 weeks ago a friend of mine persuaded me to try the free WoW 10 day trial. Now I have no life. The game should carry a health warning.

I am also playing Lord of the Rings Online, though I have only just started and I am on Landroval server, the unofficial RP server. I have a level 16 Hobbit Minstrel named Landion. It is really quite a good representation of the Tolkien world described in the books, and those who have read the books will be constantly reminded of them while they are playing this game. I would say that Turbine has done a very good job, much better then I expected, of creating a virtual Middle Earth.

One of the coolest features is the music system. In the game you can purchase instruments and play your own music on them. All the notes are mapped to your keyboard and there have become some extremely talented musicians, of which I am not one! lol its quite hard to learn to play.

However even the more challenged players, like me, can play like a pro with .abc songs. You save .abc songs to the game directory and then in game type /play song name and you will play the song. However anyone can tell if you are playing for real or if you are playing an abc song. When playing notes stream off of the intrument into the air, it looks quite good, however the notes of a real player and the notes of an abc song player look different.

I have seen small groups of two or three in the Prancing Pony and they were really very good! They had my Hobbit dancing to their music!

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XII.
