I JUST got Deus Ex Human Revolution from Steam the other day and played just the intro mission. Haven't had time to do more than that yet since I'm car shopping.

X3 Albion Prelude ... I LOVED X2, X3R, and X3TC. X3 AP is essentially X3TC with improvements ... thus far I like it quite a bit. Playing as Argon and in the war, completely skipped all plot/missions and just went straight to the war area in my Nova Prototype and made some credits killing terrans and selling dropped cargo/missiles.

Skyrim ... I've put maybe 70-80 hours into it by now ... and It's kinda gotten boring ... so I'm not playing so much any more

Anno 2070 ... Just installed it a few days ago, haven't gotten too much into it, but the little I played it it is fun and cool, but it doesn't hold my attention like X3.

Just started the Borderlands DLC, somewhat tired of zombies already.

Clan server gave up on BF3, so we now have a TF2 server up for a bit.

Old age is a P.I.T.A. tho. At 43, I find it harder to sit in a chair for 2+ hours without getting horribly stiff and sore once I get up.

X3 AP is taking up all my time. I just got an Aran, and am planning a complex to build all the components I need to make a fleet of LX's and Aamon Prototypes to fill up my third carrier. This game os completely addicting! I cant believe there isnt an active thread here for this game!

I have started to play blacklight retribution open beta. It is f2p online fps. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes intense firefights on medium size maps. I mainly play battlefield and modern warfare 3. Mount and blades with fire and sword at the weekend when there are 200 people battling to conquer/ defending a castle. Witcher 2 sometimes. Honestly, i got bored from bf3 and mw3 and looking for some action games to play. Does anyone play serious sam 3. Worth buying?

Thanks,

SOL

Ehh, there's usually a thread every year or so from what I recall...
I will eventually do the plot quests for the Hub & PHQ ... but my game start is pretty fresh thus far ... just got my first Mercury to do some trading for some extra credits .... however, I'm making quite a bit simply from rewards for killing ships in the Argon war sectors and from picking up and selling missiles... haven't had much luck in getting the ships to bail... but I've mostly been going up against M3-M5s ...

Also, I started to mess with the stock market a bit last night (teladi exchange), and it's way too easy to accumulate huge profitssss. Starting with about 100,000 of seed money, I have 7 or 8 million credits after maybe 30 minutes or so of mapping sectors and buying the crap with indexes 100+ and reselling when indexes are -80. I think I have another 2-3 million worth of stocks, and I've upgraded everything on my 1st Mercury ...

since I first started playing with the scripts that allowed CLS and CAG I've always for my first station, Hired a Mammoth at Argon Prime to get a Delaxian Wheat factory in Home of Light to use to train up my CAGS (CLS is a PITA and I never liked dealing with setting up a Logistics route to use with cheap M5s ... instead I use regular Mercury's buying Ecells at my wheat fact .... and then when they get trained up, I move the pilots over to a bigger or sometimes faster ship ... depending on what complex they are going to .... )

Anyhow ... I'm still having fun just messing with my Nova and doing little dogfights .... getting back into the swing of things ... It'll be a while before I deal with the plot quests to get my HQ, or before I start building massive complexes .... Haven't decided if I'm gonna bother with STs and UTs ... sometimes they were nice to help keep the economy working .... but they also made it harder sometimes for my factories to sell if I built huge self sufficient Ecell complexes .... would rather have a huge ecell complex and a bunch of CAGs with Jumpdrives selling the cells ... (and of course using the cells internally to supply my other complexes if they aren't attached to the same big complex ...)

Currently working on Skyrim (90+ hours so far). In the wings are Batman :AC and KoA: Recconing. Also have a save game of Ice Wind Dale going on for when I feel burnt out on Skyrim and need a break.
