Games thread!

I started up on DragonAge: Origins again last night. I tried it when it first came out, and it just didn't do anything for me. I am enjoying it quite a bit more so far. Just had it laying around for a year, seemed like it was time to sit down and play it haha.

Sony estimated a $171 Million cost for the PSN breach...only about $2 per account.

But between the earthquake and the PSN breach, they are at a net loss of $3.14 Billion for their fiscal year. Yowza.

30+ years of RPGing and DragonAge just kicked my a** all the time if I played anything but a tank.

I gave up early.

I am relieved to hear that - I was starting to think that I just sucked :P

Yeah, the mage stuff was all really cool. But I just love playing rogue archetypes too much. *squish*

I've just ordered a new gaming rig so all I have to do is figure out how to xfer saved games and I'm golden.

No more discs for me.

Word! The last game I bought on disc was SC2.

What I'd really like is some of the classics in discless. Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, Dungeon Keeper 2, etc. I know there's some "classic games" source kicking around out there. But IIRC it still ships media.

GOG.com offers some classics for download. I picked up "The Journeyman Project 2" from them not too long ago. Give them a look

And if you are looking to go REAL oldschool, look up DOSbox. It is an emulator to be able to play classics from WIN95. You'll have to download backups of the images online (for games you legally own, of course) and/or rip your own discs to use it.
