The "What are you playing now?" Thread

They fixed all the call of duty servers for online play. Bout to spend all weekend reliving my middle school years grinding world at war and MW2.

Wow. Things have gotten so bad with the current game that they’ve gone and done this as a distraction after all these years. Hilarious

Call of Duty about to be a Microsoft franchise. Crazy shit.

Honestly, I need to get back in MTG myself, it's been too long since I have a standard tournament deck lol

I preordered the special edition to get a day’s early access + the bonus episode. Only $5 more

Any good? Is it more dynamic than the Telltale games of old?

It was pretty good from what I played so far - didn’t get much further than the first chapter though because I left for vacation. Didn’t feel as much like a point and click adventure as some other Telltale games.

The game goes from 0 to 100 very, very quickly though, and the atmosphere is sufficiently creepy.

Also, Cara Gee reprises her role as Camina Drummer, and they use music from the show (including the intro theme), so that of course had me geeking out.

Story sufficiently different from the TV show as to make it interesting?

It’s a prequel to the TV show/books. Completely new story.

Finished the first episode. I enjoyed it.

Shohreh Aghdashloo also reprises her role in the game (at least indirectly), so that was pretty cool too.

Baldur's Gate 3 is now out. I am concerned it will monopolize any video-game time I have left

Purposefully holding off on this.

I've got a final exam tomorrow for grad school, plus parenting and work responsibilities.

... it's okay. I guess I'll just never sleep again

I’m installing right now. I bought early access 3 years ago, played two hours, and said okay I’ve seen all I need to see. I’ll wait.

The day has come.
