So yeah, it's been a pretty long time since I've posted anything worthwhile on here. About a month ago, I got a new job that is super-demanding. This, piled with meetings everyday, time with the wo-man, and of course, gaming, has kept me away. I figured I'd just pop back in to say a few gaming related things.
1. After a long while playing TF2, I wanted another team-based shooter, and I heard a lot of great things about Quake Wars. I went to the store, and they had it for $3. I was like, "Hell yeah!" I bought it, went to Best Buy and got a new headset, and stopped to get a few Red Bulls for a long gamer's night. After installing, and starting the game, I soon realized something: Quake Wars people are fucking good. It's taking me a while to learn, and the people playing are not those to help newbies, but I'm liking it more and more.
2. Starcraft 2 is awesome. I already finished it.
3. My love for Dragon Age only gets deeper and deeper the more time passes. I'm near the end of my 3rd playthrough, this time as a pretty hot elven mage chick.
4. Finally, not being one to keep underground games to myself, I thought I'd share my latest find with you all. It's a game that's currently only out in Germany, but as many of you on here are pretty crafty, I'll just say that it's not hard to "find" a perfect English copy. The game is called Venetica, and it's an action RPG that just feels nearly perfect. Aside from having stunning visuals, the gameplay is natural, and I became accustomed to it very quickly. I don't know if anyone out there has ever played Summoner 2, (Simply called "Summoner" on the Gamecube,) but Venetica reminds me a lot of the way that game played. I'll post some screens for you to admire, but you have to see it in motion. I whole-heartedly recommend you get this game ASAP, and buy it when it comes out, so that the growing developer continues to make more games.

What's your bnet?
I'm going to try Dragon Age again. On easy. I'm sooo bad at that game.
Actually, I might be better now. I beat Mass Effect 2, and really started getting in to the fast-paced squad command stuff.
I don't have a bnet, because I didn't buy it yet. As far as Mass Effect, I tried playing those games at least 4 times, but I just couldn't get into them.

Damn, I was going to ask if you wanted to multi.
Holk, where did you "get" SC2? I've contemplated buying it, but I wanted to try it out first before I do make a decision. Also, if you haven't seen...:
