Just Started Legend of Grimrock last night - Love it ;-)

Frozen Synapse, always in the background for me.

I've also been playing some Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich, after I bought it when it was on sale here. Decent little game, I'm definitely gonna finish it.

In console-land, I've been playing Vanquish (probably the greatest 3rd person shooter I have ever played) and LittleBigPlanet 2, which really should be on PC because I think you would draw more industrious modders with its robust level editor.

Coming up soon is Borderlands, maybe. Any recommendations to go ahead and play/stay away from it?

Startopia. Mucho fun. Probably will play some bouts of RCT3 in between as well.

Check out Kyrub's insecticide patch? I think there's a thread in the sub-forum.

Anyway, dorking around in Bloodlines with a Brujah, and chipping away at Far Cry 1. The criminally underplayed AI War sits on my desktop looking disappointed.

I really should think about giving this a serious try at some point, but... too many games! Bought it some two years ago from GOG, and I've still barely touched it. It's especially weird when considering that I love Simtex's other games, and I've always been intrigued by its Civ meets HoMM (before the latter even existed) play-style. Maybe once I get weened of my renewed tycoon-type addiction I've had of late.

Someone said the user-interface is so intuitive that you can learn to play it even without a manual. That doesn't seem to be the case at least for me. :) Too many buttons, options, icons, symbols etc., already starting from what difficulty level, how large world and how many enemies I should choose for learning the game. Everything at minimum? Time to crack open the manual once again, I've skimmed through it before.

Same problem with Master of Orion. Two games I've always meant to try and learn... Your message just stresses it that I should give them a more serious try. After all, I did eventually learn the ins and outs of Dungeon Keeper too (= imp-spamming seems to be the key to victory always, as long as you are not running out of gold), it can't be that much harder to learn MoM and MoO, can it? :)

World of Tanks all the way.

edit: Oh, and Eschalon: Book 1 when I have time.

Week ago i finished TES: Daggerfall after 115 gaming hours = 3 months of playing. Czech (or Slovak) speaking people could read my gaming diary on http://www.oldgames.sk/discuss.php?article=328

Conflict Freespace: Silent Threat is now my game.

Having a blast with TERA! And for almost four months already. I still can hardly believe it, because I always considered myself as a single-player gamer, who never cared for multiplayer... But hey, the game is absolutely adorable and beautiful. It's going to be really hard to get back to my GOGs now xD

I've just played Master of Magic on "intro" level of difficulty, and learnt it like that, trial and error. It was very fun, and I got a grasp of it quite easily. the most confusing thing was merely how often you click "next turn", especially at the beginning. One-square movements between turns seemed a bit short to me, compared to other games pace. But onece I accepted it, it went well, and with time the turns lasted of course much longer. It's just a tiny thing that had made me doubt I was getting the interface right, at the brginning.

The "one square turns" confused me also quite a bit. :)

What is the suggested version to play the game? I think the last official patch was 1.31, but then there were two unofficial patch branches, possible unrelated?

1.4n
2.0

Do either fix severe bugs in the original game, or are they merely changing ingame balance etc.? I usually prefer playing the games first vanilla, without user mods or patches, and maybe try them out later.
