Easy solution there - just ask the neighbor to borrow their wall for a bit as needed. I'm sure they won't mind.

Oh yeah, "funny". Boatloads of fun, to be sure. Makes me think of the neverending bathroom remodel here. Lots and lots of water outages during that.

No bravery to it, just stubbornness and stupidity in varying measure.
Played it before, beat it, got bored with it, deleted it. Only recently did I decide for some dumbassed reason to go back to it.
To my dismay, it turned into something that needed to be killed (played to absolute death) for me to stop the cycle of play a bit, get bored, delete, go back and reinstall. I can now say with certainty that after three full runs, experiencing every bad thing it has to offer again and again and again, I will have no desire to even look at it, let alone play it anymore.

Yep, I'm sure taking a shower in their living room will go over well for all involved. ;)

If things get really bad I guess I'll grab a bag and move to a friend's place temporarily. :P

Hahaha, you do have a way of persevering with those things. I'm not that tenacious, if something bores or annoys me, out it goes. I have too many games waiting to be played to stick with the ones that frustrate me. :P

Thank you for pointing out that game - it's at least a lead. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I think he'd prefer things like old-school BattleTech, as opposed to MechWarrior, but I'm pretty sure that either will be acceptable as long as it's a decent game. He does do TBS/RTS-type games, but I'm also interested in suggestions along the lines of the FPS/whatever-you-want-to-call-them that are the MW games.

Aloha all.

1.) Hi penumbren, hope you and everyone are having a good day other than toothaches and misguided water.

2.) Selling Paradox games at 90% off should be illegal, who can resist?

3.) I would give a lot of money to have young women showering in my living room.

Carry on.

[url=http://www.matrixgames.com/products/237/details/Titans.of.Steel:.Warring.Suns]This[/url] comes to mind for turn-based Mech-type games. Not a lot of selections since Microsoft took the Mechwarrior property and shoved it up their ass for over a decade.
For more first-person based items, Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri here on GOG might fit the bill. Again, there's not a lot of selection when you take out Mechwarrior and Heavy Gear.
Good idea. =)

No need to put a nice spin on it, you just have more sense than I do.
Good evening. =)

How's it going?

I wouldn't say more sense, just a different mindset. :P

Well, I'm off to bed, have a good day/night everyone!

Been a pretty good day all in all. Stayed indoors most of the time 'cause it's hotter than hell outside.
Housecleaning, eating and drooling over some games. :-)
You had a good day of thumb abuse?
Night Fearful. Sleep well.

-laughs-

Have a good night, sleep well. =)
Sounds like a nice enough day. And yes, the sun is evil. As such, it needs to be avoided whenever possible.

The siren song of Paradox? ;) That's a good price on Crusader Kings 2, but dear gods, is there a lot of DLC to pack onto it.

Just trying to stay awake. After the last two days being all kinds of messed up, I'm trying to fix it. So no sleeping, no napping, no dozing off in the chair, just staying awake until it's a decent time to go to bed. Fortunately the thumb abuse has helped in that regard, despite my bitching about wanting to be done with it already.

And speaking of abuse and bitching, it's time for another thunderstorm round, AKA let's cover the screen in midnight blue so I can barely see the enemies, or the weapons they're throwing at me, unless the screen tries to send me into a seizure by flashing to simulate lightning. Truly this is my very favorite of all level types, so much so that I wish I could knee the person who thought of it in the crotch every time I do one.

Shogo is here, and was an amazing game but that doesn't really play like an "old school" Mechwarrior - it's all about fast and fluid mechs.

Xbox 360 had an AMAZING game that I sunk a TON of hours into. Allowed a hideous and awesome array of mech customization - however it was mainly a multiplayer game and the servers have since gone buhbye. But if they ever made it, I'd DROOL for a Chromehounds sequel. If anyone ever wants to hear old "fake war" stories, that game had some fantastic mechanics.

Come to think of it, there IS a current console series but the name escapes me. I think it involves mech customization but again features a "faster" more nimble breed of beast than the ponderous traditional Mechwarrior / Battletech machine.

Armored Core?

Evenin' folks! I hope you're all doing well. This cold has been kicking our arses, but otherwise, the lady and I are doing great. I finally finished Fallout 3, which was great fun, and started up New Vegas, just so I can still be running around in a wasteland when I'm in the mood.
Tonight, though, I aim to take on the Pillars of Eternity DLC. Sucks that I have to backtrack, as I'd beaten the game, but it was one of my favorite games, so even if it's just "more of the same" as many reviews suggest, I'm sure I'll enjoy it plenty. :)

You know what I think this is the one I had in mind. Not sure I ever played much of it (beyond a demo or two maybe?) but I was aware of it.

I can relate - I haven't been sick in AGES but I've had a cold the last few days. I don't feel that sick beyond sneezing, bit of a runny nose and there was a sore throat the first day or so but MAN have I just been lazy and tired. Silly little stuff feels like an effort.

Didn't know the PoE DLC was incorporated into the main story (at least it sounds that way from your post). I can't wait to dig into this game when I finally grab it - any idea if the second DLC (I assume - I think I saw "Part One" on the recent release) will also be a campaign "enclosed" in the story of the main game? I admit I hadn't been following too much of the post-release news so I didn't even realize there WOULD be a DLC until a few days before it arrived here (or maybe even the day it was released - whenever I first saw someome mention / ask about it on the forum here).

Hello Gogverse :-)

OMG,late night Big Mac was a terrible idea.

Thanks much for the suggestions! Terra Nova struck the husband's fancy a bit - we'll take a look tomorrow and see for sure. The Xbox suggestion(s) are appreciated, but not only do we not own any generation of them, I refuse to give them any money. They got two controllers' worth out of me for PC games, but that's my limit. We're a generation behind on Sony and Nintendo, too, although a PS4 may end up in our household by early next year.

On a different note: Does anyone have any advice for getting rid of the smell of bleach?

We have a roommate who's over-appreciative of its cleaning benefits and likes to use far, far too much of it when she mops/wipes down counters/etc. I realize I can re-clean what she did, and I might do so tomorrow, but it's certainly not going to happen tonight. (My husband reacts terribly to bleach, it makes me nauseous, and our cats don't like it, either - and she insists on using it even though she knows all of this. Suffice to say this is not a person I'm fond of.)

ETA: Just realized which game you pointed out, Crow. We downloaded that and installed it on the husband's laptop, but it doesn't seem to want to run correctly. He's on Win10, but compatibility settings don't seem to be working. I can't remember exactly what the problems were; I may take another look at it tomorrow.
