So... is there anyone else here who loves videogames, as much as I do?
In these days I'm playing The Last of Us... Naughty Dog made such an improvement, I'm liking it more than the Uncharted series, even if it was fun too.

I like to play video games a bit myself. I have an Xbox360 but I've been gaming on PC mainly since I like MMO's.
I've been playing The Secret World by Funcom and it's pretty cool. Has a few glitches, but enjoyable for sure, and by far the most original MMO I've yet to play.
Also been going through old Dungeon's and Dragon's RPG's to get myself stoked out for Tides of Numenera. Right now we're (my real life friends and I) are playing Icewind Dale II. I think we are going to do Planescape:Torment next.
Other than that, I like the regular stuff on Xbox, Elder Scrolls, COD, Fable (didn't care for the last one as much)

I love pc games and mmo too ! I'm playing Guild Wars 2 at the moment... but I've played so many games that I can't almost remember all of them! Baldur's Gate, Deus Ex, Elder Scrolls, Ultima Online, Lineage 2... even WoW, but it's not one of my favourites. Blizzard disappointed me a lot, with Diablo III... MEH. Planescape torment is WONDERFUL, just try it out and you won't regret it! I almost died when Pat announced his collaboration for Tides of Numenera... it's gonna be amazing, can't wait!!!

Yah, I've checked out Guild Wars II at a friends house, but I didn't purchase it because I had purchased the first Guild Wars and thought it was awful. No Jumping?! Just to frustrating for me to support a revamp. LOL. So pretty much how you felt about WoW!
I played WoW for a long time, but I felt like they were making it to kid friendly after the Cataclysm release, when they announced Pandaria I just threw my hands up and quit. It was getting pretty awful running dungeons with little kids and then having entire teams getting smoked in PVP's by a single Shadow Priest. The only thing left to do was raids but then people started expecting these outrageous Gearscores....*sigh* /end whining.
Anyway, about during this time Felicia Day mentioned liking TSW so I bought it and have enjoyed it since quite a lot. I think my next MMO investment will be Elder Scrolls Online - since you know...it IS Elder Scrolls. LOL. Plus, I'm kinda stoked about it because I heard they were working with the guys who did Dark Age of Camelot back in the day and I thought that was an enjoyable game.
What is Ultima exactly? I got a free download of Ultima from GOG.com but haven't tried it out. At least I think it was Ultima. LOL.

Am I the only person that sees a blonde Felicia Day as the perfect Auri?
I'm curious to see how ES:Online pans out. I love the Elder Scrolls series and spend hours and hours playing them (I might have had 250 hours in Oblivion alone... kind of a scary thought) but have never finished playing them because my character becomes crazy over-powered and it isn't fun anymore.
I'm also playing Borderlands 2 right now. I just finished a mission where I had to kill some evil mutants- I had to impersonate a pizza delivery guy to sneak into their lair in the sewers, then when they noticed I wasn't "June" all four of the turtley looking guys attacked me. Then I had to fight Flinter, the rat-looking boss guy. The whole game has been like that - it's the most irreverent game I've ever played.

Use to be a Blizz GM in 2010 but moved back to Utah to return to school. Quit WoW at the end of cata after like 7 years of playing. D3 disappointed me and I like to smoke/drink when I game so SC2 doesn't work out for me. Hoping Titan will be as cool as I have heard, but who knows yet. Been playing LoL since season 1 and still play that primarily, which almost all Blizz employees play which I think is funny.
Other than that I just picked up skyrim and have slowly been playing that but I haven't been as impressed as everyone hypes it up to be.

displacement - I would say No, since Felicia Day was Pat's choice of model for Auri when he made the playing card. He made it a stretch goal, and I think people liked the idea because they seriously got there in what seemed like 2 minutes. LOL. I'm definitely curious as well about ES:Online. I enjoyed Morrowind and Oblivion so much, felt like they took RPG console games to a whole new level. But, I did suffer the same feeling as strangebrewd for Skyrim. To me, it just seemed like they took Oblivion, up'ed the graphics a bit and added some dragons where Oblivion Gates used to be. Not enough jump to a next generation of the series in my opinion. I did beat Oblivion and Morrowind, like all the way, every quest, I printed a list off the internet and everything. I will agree to the 100's of hours at least on those two games. But I think I've put in maybe 60 hours on Skyrim. Which is not a lot for me. I want something spectacular for ES:Online, or I'll just keep playing TSW. They have original and really complicated Dungeons. Outrageously hard Investigation Quests. Move while casting/firing. Great graphics, original content/story. The PvP system is the only thing that kinda sucks, but it's not because of the way PvP works, its just because it's hella buggy. So, it's got a lot to live up too. I'm not interested at all in playing a WoW/GW clone. So hopefully that doesn't happen or I'll be majorly disapointed. strangebrewd - that is cool you used to be a GM at Blizzard. I played Cata too but yah, no to Pandaria or whatever the hell it's called. NO TO FREAKIN' KUNG FU PANDA. The End. I was actually just talking smack to my dad, since apperantly, after I quit playing they made it so you can use a basket to catch little pets instead of buying or collecting them. I couldn't help but laugh, I was like...hmm...didn't we play this on Game Boy Dad? It was called...what was it called again? Oh yah...POKEMON. BAHAHA. I just like to tease him because he quit playing TSW with us because it was "too hard." I'll definitely check out Titan when it comes out since Blizzard is touting it as Next Gen MMO and shit. I honestly liked Blizzard, thought they were a great company, awesome customer service, they only lost my business because I didn't like where they were going with WoW and found something more appealing to my taste. Then again, also didn't care much for Diablo 3 either. *shrug* Haven't played League of Legends at all, ever. Is it really so enjoyable? I might check it out. I'm closing in on the end game of TSW and will have to buy the expansions to keep going. Plus, I'll admit, these old school RPG's are just not doing it for me the way I hoped. (Still haven't tried Planescape yet though)

I like it, but I really enjoyed WC3 Dota. If you like competitive games is one of the best at the moment. Has a huge esports scene if you are into that sort of thing. Biggest down side is the community. Lots of d-bags but riot has been implementing things to promote good sportsmanship so that has helped.

Okay, how did I miss this on Warcraft 3? I must have given it up before it came out...or maybe I was just too young and the parents didn't think I should be messing around online so much or something...
Damn, might have to check that out. Condusive to smoking and drinking as well?
WIN!
Too bad about D-Bags though...of course. I hate that. I have the worst nerd-rage, seriously, the only time I ever have outbursts of anger is from Nerdrage. You could probably rob me blind and I'd hardly have a reaction, but kill my D&D character and we will never speak again.
