  1. I’ll probably try to get a bit of Minerva’s Den in. I wasn’t all that impressed with Bioshock 2, but I’ve liked this DLC so far. And I got it for half off, which is always a plus.

    I’m actually considering getting Dragon’s Age: Origins now that it’s dropped in price. Most people seems to enjoy it. Thoughts? Lots of grinding?

    • Dragon Age: Origins is Epic.

      I suggest getting the Ultimate Edition. This has all of the downloadable content on the disk already.

      I found the game to be absolutely amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Great characters, great moral choices, great set up.

      Unfortunately, Dragon Age 2 is to Dragon Age as Bioshock 2 is to Bioshock.

  2. I’m on a second playthrough of Hammerfight, because I made the ‘wrong’ choices last time and got the bad ending.
    I bought DA on sale a long time ago and never loaded it up. I think my dislike of Mass Effect made me sketchy about actually launching it.

    • Oh, and I remember wishing so hard for that Weeble haunted house. Some other kid I knew had it and it was *awesome*.

    • If you didn’t like Mass Effect, I give good odds that you’re not going to like Dragon Age, sad to say.

      (Bioware has come closest to being the game company that makes games just for me that I’ve stumbled across.)

      • It depends on why you don’t like it. Mass Effect has 3rd person shooter combat mechanics (mostly), while Dragon Age: Origins is more like Baldur’s Gate.

        As for me, I just finished playing Assassin’s Creed 2 and now I’m playing Torchlight for a bit until Bastion comes out on PC in about 2 weeks.

        • I had much fun with Torchlight. It was clicktastic. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting Diablo 3. I dislike the persistent internet connection requirement, and, well, my computer is a bit too old to run new games.

          • Clicktastic is a good word for Torchlight. I just started it, but I find it distinctly odd in that my cat can summon skeletons. So me, the adventurer I’m currently working with, my cat, and ITS HUMAN SKELETON MINION are all running around in a posse killing stuff… they can dispatch most stuff even if I don’t help.

            I feel like a bad-ass manager rather than a valiant bravo:D. But it’s fun.

          • I’m playing an Alchemist, having done a Vanquisher (I think … it was the ranged one anyway) before.

            In addition to my pet I have 3 little imps summoned from dead bodies and a steam-powered golem.

            At some point I intend to get my pet a summoning spell.

          • Yeah, I felt like a manager playing Torchlight too. If I remember correctly, by the end of playing through as an Alchemist, I had about 7 imps and 2 different types of golems that I just constantly summoned. I rarely fought, and instead just sent lots of minions after enemies.

            Still fun though.

        • It was the combat that turned me off, so maybe I will give DA a try at some point.

          I loved Torchlight, though I sputtered and quit a little way into the second playthrough when I tried Alchemist. It wasn’t nearly as fun as the warrior smashy-smashy.

  3. I am playing the lawn mower and washing the dogs. Cleaning Shelby’s hair out of the drain was the level 1 boss.
