Still plugging away on my mission to beat Civ V with every civilization. I won a Domination victory with Augustus Ceasar last night. Next up is Bismarck of the Germans.

I utterly adore the fan obsession with Steam sales, so infectious. Even my Boss gets into it and he doesn't even game.

I picked up Thief on Steam when it was on sale last week and it's kicking my ass pretty soundly. Gotta get used to adjusting to these games, since Skyrim stealth != Thief stealth.

My iMac is old.
Anybody play Diablo III for console? My iMac can only run it at really low settings. Probably not in the market for a new computer anytime soon.

I didn't but my friends did no problem.

Trying to play Aliens: Colonial Marines. I knew that it was going to be shitty, I honestly had no idea that it was going to be this shit.

Controls terribly, looks awful and the Xenomorphs pose no threat aside from being total bullet sponges. You can also just nitpick the fuck out of the plot. I'm glad that I only spent $5.

EDIT:
The game keeps restarting whenever I exist the game. I hate this game.

Taking a CivV break. Time for XCOM.

Replaying Deus Ex:HR Directors Cut with the commentary on.

Really interesting stuff, the directors, artists and writers tell you about the development in certain parts of the game.

Not sure if I should buy anything this sale. I kinda want Grim Dawn but out of principle I don't do early access, and I still have a huge chunk of DkS2 to work through.

Dark Souls has killed all other G(ame)AS for me. NG+ is still pretty easy for the most part as far as bosses go. Beat the Skeleton Lords, Covetous Demon (one of the easiest video game bosses of all time), Last Sinner and Smelter Demon all on my first try yesterday. Fuck Huntsman's Copse though, fuck that place.

I've got Diablo III for xbox360. It's pretty fun.

Just wait till you make it to the steps of Drangleic Castle. I raged hard there on NG+.
