Video Game Discussion

made $5 yesterday! My biggest one day total so far. I'm expecting the game will see a price drop soon, as many people are not too happy with it and they have been losing players. They still need to work on it quite a lot, but I've been having fun so far with the auction house and what not.

So I'm still searching for a new job, but if it comes down to it I guess I can just make money playing Diablo 3. They put in the real money auction house not too long ago and this week I made around $15. Lol! Won't pay the bills, but at least I'll have some food money.

Still, I think it is pretty cool that I can make some money while playing a video game! I know people who have already made several hundreds of dollars. Maybe I'll get lucky too. I've already decided that since I'm tight on cash all of the money i make in Diablo 3 will be book money! So Dan, if you suddenly see an order from me it means I got a ridiculous item and managed to sell it!

I may have to look into this myself! Except I don't have the game. Dammit.

Going to try this out later tonight. A free horror game, featuring the Slenderman.

there is a link to the game in the ign article. I suggest, that if you want to play it, don't watch the video as it spoils too much in my opinion.

Thanks to "Wired", I discovered "eteRNA" - it's sort of a puzzle game but deals with RNA and learning how to tweak a strand to "fold" properly. Sounds dry but is quite intriguing.

Oh wow, thats awesome BW. Did not know that EM 2 would be multi platform! I haven't played much of anything recently, but I would like to pick up Max Payne 3. Just gotta finish off some stuff first.

Forgot to mention Epic Mickey 2. Love Epic Mickey.Now to decide which platform to get 2 as the first was only for wii. The new one is multi platform.

Haven't been checking out any of the E3 stuff yet. Although I did see the trailer for the ps3 smash brothers game )something allstars, ,forgot the title) Looks like a lot of fun!

[Dan Hocker]

Anyone else seen the new Halo 4 cinematic trailer yet? Something about the beginning of it reminded me of some of the early trailers for Prometheus.

Really enjoyed Journey. You undergo an emotional voyage yourself playing that game. Available online only at the Playstation store.

Just finished the first chapter of The Walking Dead game. Far more enjoyable than anything the show has done, besides the pilot. It is done in comic book graphic styles and works wonderfully. This is not a shooter but a game where you have to make choices that ripple through the rest of the game. Save Character A or Character B kind of choices. Pretty slick.

Pecking away at Portal 2, Alan Wake, and Heavy Rain as well.

Have both the 360 & PS3. Find both useful for streaming media to watch on TV.

And Dan that Eve game looks awesome indeed.

It is pretty awesome. I've been playing it for probably the better part of 5 years now.

I liked Sacred 2 better than the first. Probably for the inquisitor and shadow warrior classes.

[peteOcha]

Sacred was a great game! I didn't like 2 so much though.

And Journey is one I really would like to play as well.

Sacred Gold is a lot of fun. Don't try to do all the quests in a certain area, they keep respawning using different NPC characters. I filled 20 pages of quests from the first chapter and they still kept coming. Look for shortcuts to areas of different chapters (you have to go through all chapters to finish the game, but it allows to get better weapons. And above all, DON'T DIE!!! There's something called "Survival Bonus" in the game, took me awhile to get used to it. It's basically how long you've been alive "in battle" not "in game" and when you die it resets to 0. It's sort of a luck score, it gives you a small chance to get better trreasure, but it also makes the game harder with tougher monsters. The monsters will progress as you progress (up to a certain level per area), but SB raises that bar. To put it in perspective, tho, 100% SB will take you about 600 hrs in battle time. I've got a 98.4 % SB character and I've got over 9 months playing time in the game. I you really want to, get some super armor, go to the first area and let a bunch of weakling beat on you and walk away for a week. Or hack the game and raise it yourself!

Cool. Thanks. I got killed once already by a bear, but right now I'm just in the "seeing what it's like" phase so I'm sure I'll start over once I have a better grasp.
