Hearthstone babble and other random gamesFollow

welp its about time for me to get back into LotRO then... heh. I almost logged on after watching The Hobbit.

It's a shame that game was so damn easy even on the hardest setting.

meanwhile, I put it on the easy setting, and I love how easy it is, cause I don't actually play video games to be challenged.

Age of Wushu is kind of growing on me. Everyone always says they want something different that is not a WoW clone. Well this is maybe the most different MMO system I have seen. The slow pace and different vibe are starting to seem like a charming thing.

Right now, I am "hopping" between different games, because still searching something that keeps my attention.

After stopping my WoW subscription, I tasted the free to play games. After some experience there, got the impression that subscription model is cheaper on the long run. Here my actual list:

Aion. I was there from the beta (yep, was keeping both WoW and Aion subs xD). And it still is something I return to, every now and then, because I still enjoy its gameplay and graphics.

GW2. As launched, I were addicted to this. Right now, I keep it updated but not play very often there.

Eden Eternal. Chibi characters and easy, I like it for being able let me relax, and cash options are in a price range I can afford. I am passing most of my time here, in this days.

Scarled Blade. Some action, PvP and looking at some candy pixels, why not, so playing there too, every now and then.

Then, in my radar are Tales Runner and Arcane Saga (ex Prius), still to open in next days. And I'm thinking every now and then, if is it better return to WoW :)

Don't worry, were half way there. Spoiler

Also, list of games needs more TERA.

I was in the mood for sonic and I had to fight the urge to Download adventure 2 onto my 360 so I got rush and Colors. I am surprised to find how challenging rush is. It's been awhile though I had to look in the play manual for anything. How to double jump was what was bewildering me.(R then hit up whaaaaa) I was happy to find Colors for the DS played differently then the wii, but sad to find that the strolling background noise in the form of Robotnik's commentary was gone. That was good for a mild laugh here and there.

I had "Ship Simulator Extreme" from some bundle and tried it last night for the lulz.

It was "extreme" in that I ran a cruise liner into a dock extremely slowly at which point it just sat there extremely still since, surprise!, cruise liners don't exactly back up and do a three-point turn.

In true Italian fashion, I looked at what I had done, said "nuts to this" and abandoned ship, quitting the game.

It's the only way to eliminate Leonardo DiCaprio.

I've been playing Monaco. Extended thoughts in the review in my sig (it's on NGN, not my blog, so the formatting should be more palatable to folks here).

It's a great little game. Mildly tense, chaotic multiplayer with a bevy of opportunities for ad-libbed teamwork. It captures the feel of a great heist movie, but in an arcade-y, abstract package.

If you check it out, play some online with me. I think I'm getting pretty good at it.

Monaco has been really fun so far, though I have only played a few stages. I think they did fairly well with the learning curve, and so far the stage length has been just right. I can play one or two if I have a few minutes.

Ag Simulator 2013 is on sale today at GG which reminded me of this:

My brother gave me his XBAWKS, so I've been playing Happy Wars. It's pretty entertaining, but it takes a while to actually get into a match. The worst is when you finally get in one and the teams aren't balanced very well and you get steamrolled in a minute or two. Other than that, it's pretty fun.

Oh, Battleblock Theater is entertaining, too.
