Civ V and Titan Quest: IT.
Friday again you NERDS and JERKS!
Can't stop playing Overwatch so IF I game at all which is mostly impossible it will be that.
What about you NERDS? What games will be playing in NERDVILLE?
Hmm... Can't stop playing eh? That makes me kind of want to be an Overwatch NERD...
"Yeah... I ran into a couple of those Overwatch NERDs in Saigon..."

I think the game just fits my situation. I can log in, play for 30 minutes and walk away feeling "gamed". It is fun, but it isn't like crack or anything.
Saigon, eh? were you involved in the Tit offensive?
I missed that offensive.
(Disclaimer: It was a paraphrased Lethal Weapon quote...)
Well, I will probably not be a gaming nerd this weekend. I'll be a synthesizer nerd. (design and build them as my secondary jobby hobby thingie...) If I do get a chance, I'll finish up Doom SP. Otherwise it's all this:

That looks nice. Ill be jamming on the Elektron Rytm all weekend.
Other than that, currently playing Doom 2 using Doomsday
I really want to play Homefront: the revolution but I cant find a good deal on itits like $60 every where
How far into it are you? I felt the same way for the first couple of hours' worth, and then eventually started enjoying it.I been doing my best to like Witcher 3. Not all bad, there is a lot to like about the game regarding the mechanics of the game. It is a very well crafted game, runs well, looks great, pretty good story, interesting NPCs. Where it falls kind of flat for me is the fun factor. It just does not get my blood up, or spark my imagination, or keep me intrigued. It is not unpleasent to play, but it is not very exciting either. For me it is lacking in gameplay perks like adventure, surprise, discovery challenge. And it is not the combat. I think the combat is fine for an RPG. But most everything else is kind of ho hum. Which is kind of a shame because the devs obviously poured their heart and soul into it. I feel kind of guilty not liking it more than I do.

That actually seemed to be a recurring problem I had with all three of the Witcher games. The first couple of hours aren't really like the rest of the game, and it only starts being fun once you get past the exposition part.
Fair enough; it's not for everyone. If I'm honest, I didn't like it as much as everyone else seemed to. I thought it was good, and on a technical level absolutely deserving of all the acclaim it got, but the characters and setting didn't really resonate with me. It's just so dark and depressing; it makes me wonder if this is what life in Eastern Europe is actually like, with thugs and rapists behind every tree.Oh I'm way more than a few hours into the game. I have cleared all the ? mark locations on the map and I am in the large town looking for Ciri. Cleared a haunted house and talked to the gal that seems to know something. I feel like I have played enough to have a handle on what the game is mostly about.
