That game looks fun. I'm interested in theory, but I don't want to grab a key right now when I have no time to play for at least a few days, so if there's still one in a week or so I'll jump in!

... I just bought all the DLC for Payday 2 for like 7 bucks.

I've started to learn a little more about what the game is about and what it can do it is seeming a little more and more awesome!  So far, most of my heists have been bloodbaths, but if you get slick you can avoid combat by taking over security systems, stealing keycards, etc.

I'm sort of liking it more and more and I think with 4 of us on the talkie trying to pull off a heist would be RAD.  A clusterfuck, for sure, but a RAD clusterfuck.

I would totally give it a go with you. I start back to work tomorrow night which might mess with my availability some, but I'm sure we could figure out something.

I picked up the 4 pack for Pay Day 2 "cheap" on steam.

I watched some of the preview videos a few months back and I was less than impressed - it just felt too violent for violence sake, but given the week I've had at work it seemed less of an issue with me and I pulled the trigger (get it?).

Who wants a key (and will actually suit up and try to give multiplayer a shot)?

UPDATE:  Rudy's in!  1 down, 2 to go...

I'll feel way less guilty about being hooked to Hearthstone if I'm playing it on my iPad. There's it's like an app, not a fucking time sink.

Brothers is coming up! I've been playing Thomas Was Alone, kind of a twee puzzle game. Fun, especially since it was FREE!

IIRC, Aeryk had created a dude on Dalaran but I misheard/misremembered and made mine on Draenor, to which I believe Ae. said "to'oh Draenor" and we switched back. Might not have that right.

I remember scrambling to find the game after Aeryk raving about it. It was impossible to buy anywhere except they had copies at the Apple store, because who buys software there? Good times.

So after a week playing the Quarriors iOS app, I bought an expansion to the physical game (the one with quests). Free app = $40 sale. Well played, Quarrior salesmen.

I saw somebody beta testing Hearthstone for iPad on the train today...

I thought Dalarn was our first server... or is that the 2nd one? Draenor sounds familiar too.

I finished that game Brothers the other day, and it was SO good. Next time it's on sale, grab it! It only took about 3 hours, but it was a near flawless gaming experience and I'll probably play it again soon to get all the cheevos.

I keep thinking about that Marvel card game Legendary! I really wanna get it, but since I'm back to work in a few days (FUUUCK) I probably wouldn't have time to play it. But it seemed so fun.

No shame in that! I wish they'd go F2P already. I'd probably jump back in and could be coerced into picking up the expansions I've missed out on. But, that's apparently never happening, so oh well.

Let's set up a Kickstarter for a project that lets you travel back in time to high school for a week then spend that week playing D&D.

I feel sort of dirty, but there you have it.

It shares the same name as the first server we all played on the first day WoW rolled out, so it seems fitting for some reason.

You get an auto-90 character for pre-ordering and apparently there will be quests to help you tune and remember how to play WoW with a 90 toon... given I've never had a 90 toon, I welcome the help.

And you get to build a castle and get recruits for some useless, but fun, metagame.

Feh.

I know.  It's embarrassing.

Have you guys tried the optional rules in the Quarriors app yet? They definitely add a little more strategy. I'm interested in playing the game again in a "hey, enr0n, bring it to Kubla" kinda way.

I do find it infuriating that "choose" is misspelled in the defend prompt and intend to write the company a letter (not an email).

In other news, AEG accidentally let a Doomtown reboot site go live for a little while today! There were only a few temp copy and art assets there, and it's back behind a password wall now, but it sure looks like they're planning to rerelease Doomtown in LCG format this year! That is fan-fucking-tastic news.

Play it. Everyone.

Not in a "Hearthstone" or "come on guys, let's all play a rad game" way, in a "play it because its short, amazing, clever, incredibly well done, and you might not have had an experience with a game like you will with this one" way.

I just finished it and am honestly surprised it had such an emotional impact on me.

The Quarriors iOS app is free right now.

I've been meaning to play that! It was one of the free games on PS+ last month (along with the new Bioshock, it was quite a month!).

But you know how it is man, all these games and no time to play them. If only I could send them back in time to my teens or twenties!

If you guys have xbo type controllers for your PC, I gotta highly recommend the game Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons. It's on sale right now for $5 bucks and so far it's really impressive. It's an adventure game (and I think action too? Can't tell yet) where you control a big and little brother at the same time. The analog sticks and triggers are mapped to the two brothers, so it's almost like playing a co-op game solo. Great art style and story the tiny bit I've played.
