I was a huge fan of PZ from the very early days, but the recent change in development focus has kinda soured me on it. I think they've gotten a little too fiddly and fond of Cataclysm Dark Days and lost the fun (for me).

 

What do you mean?  I'm still playing on the latest stable build and haven't tried any of the IWBUMS changes yet (granted, I don't think I can since they don't support that on GOG anymore, AFAIK).  I also haven't played any Cataclysm, so that reference doesn't make any sense to me.

I can't really remember the details, I think it turned more hardcore with more fiddly things to juggle that didn't really add anything to the fun. Also, I loved the old 2d graphics, the 3d changed things up a bit (not a gamebreaker, just another little thing).

PZ was on my last PC for almost a decade :) I was debating putting it on the new one and trying to get past the changes to at least the mid-game, but I've got a stack of games in the queue (Days Gone, RDR2, Dying Light, Ghost Recon, etc). 7 Days scratches the same itch for me, so there's not a ton of motivation to try it again rn.

I don't really play much anymore due to time. Skyrim was the last new video game I bought for my self. I give my free time to painting minis when I have any energy

I used to enjoy watching my sons play various video games, but I never played any myself; ergo, I have never had a favorite.

Astro Grover on floppy disc for DOS. Mom got a computer as part of a farm program from the government. I started playing on it when I was 4 or 5. Only a handful of kids in my grade had a computer in their house. It was an educational math game with Sesame Street characters.

I'm still playing Civ 5. Civ 6 won't run on my old PC. 

 

I'm going to put a shout-out for Tharsis on PC from Steam. I play it all the time when I want a quick 10-15 minute game.

May 22: Friends coming over...what movie do you want to show them?

I have not seen almost everything. I will let them pick. I think there are some Star Trek movies I haven’t seen.

Oh, well. We're probably gonna have a list, and pick one. List is probably gonna span some genres... Movie is there for entertain, not for argue over. ;p

 

Game.. hrmn. Well, I have Nemesis, and we haven't played that yet. 

I've also got this Aliens game that I'd like to try. ;p

I don't bring people over to my sanctum, I tend to go to others' places. But some way, somehow, I will inflict The Ultramarines Movie upon my friend. :devil:

 

Right now my friends and I are already playing Warhammer Quest: Cursed City, it's been pretty good so far.

Most of my friends are from church, so we usually watch a churchy movie. I curate movies for my family. I put films I know they will like on their playlists to watch on the streaming services, so it's easy to pick from these. We often have daddy daughter dinner night at my place. Last time we watched a Dolly Parton documentary. 

 

Ugh... my family plays card games. I don't really like card games. I bought an expansion for Pandemic a few years ago and it's still in its wrapper. I especially love Cranium. It's a little dated now, but I'm a trivia hound and a charades ham, so I think it's great. If any of my forum friends came over, I'd like to try Terraforming Mars. I'd also really like to try a legacy game, but no one I know is diehard enough to buy one,

 Oh good heavens, that's a thing? Be warned, I still have a VHS copy of the Spice Girls movie. 

 

Lately I've been annoyed at the GW boxed game roll out. I can't get a copy of any thing I want, and yet, there are online sellers who have boxes and boxes they sell for bitz.

Lately, I've been playing Torchlight 2 unmodded as a change of pace from the modded version.  Before that, it was modded Skyrim.

I really have no idea how I would do this.  There are no video stores to rent movies from, I don’t have any of the streaming services, or cable, ...I’d have to tell them to source the movie on DVD and then we’d hope the ancient DVD/VHS player could be coaxed into working.

A lot of people have been annoyed. Don’t buy the figures this way, just wait. I think GeeDub will make them available separately eventually.

@Pezler the Polychromatic can I ask you to do some research?  It is this: read-dig through the lore, background write-ups, fluff ...whatever the written materials are and look for the (place?) name “Mournehold” and see if it is in there anywhere??
