I know this going to sound slightly lame, but, if you were a fan of Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and/or Farmville; Steam has an awesome game called Stardew Valley. It has Super Nintendo graphics and is so much friggin fun. Instead of picking up a new language or volunteering at the archaeology lab I've been sucked into this game.

Just picked up Reassembly... good indie space game.

This game is still early access, but is freaking amazing. I have two others in my clan at the moment, and I have to say there is a lot going on (building, raiding, defending, etc). Check it out:

Anyone fool around with AoE II HD?

Asking for a friend...

 

[Kaldak]

I think I may have a copy. I'll have to rummage a bit. I'll keep you posted.

I think I have it though I haven't played in ages.

Just picked up PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, played 3 games, died 3 times, but somehow managed to kill 2. It is actually a good time, not what I expected. A little frustrating, but a good game. I can't wait to see what they do with it over time.

I tried so hard to get into that. Just didn't take for me.

It is a hard game to play solo. The game is best played with a team of friends. Squad play can get really fun and competitive. Solo play usually turns into a camp and 3rd person peek fest. First person view is the great equalizer.

I'm on vacation in Sep. Maybe we can link up for a bit and play. Being over here puts me on Asian servers, but I'll try some US and see if my Net makes it playable.

@ke4gde and I were just thoroughly embarrassed on PUBG and enjoyed every second. Was bum rushed by a dude in underwear and a gas mask. Died. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Don't forget the semi auto uzi lol

Purchased Homefront: Revolution.....it's currently on sale for about 17 bucks (PS4), but it's also for sale on steam too.

Haven't played it yet, but wanted to give a heads up...think the sale ends on 8/25.

When it comes to connecting to the US servers from Asia(Korea), I've had better luck using a VPN to one of the west coast stateside locations. For whatever reason the traffic without it ends up with a ton of packet loss. In games with stateside friends playing on Asia, they haven't had any issues. YMMV.

Last night I loaded into 4 singles FPP where I died as soon as I landed. One was even by getting hit in the head with a frying pan. I rage quite soon after that and went to bed. The game can be fun, but is highly rage inducing.

Protip: don't forget to switch to auto lol

I think duo or squads makes the game wildly less rage prone. The mistakes that cost people a win when two or three others are watching, like missing a window with a molly and setting yourself on fire, can be hysterical. All alone, that would be rough.
