Emob78: I think the pay money option for the furnishings must be bugged. I paid my steward at Lakeview to furnish my kitchen and nothing showed up... ended up having to build all the stuff myself with the housing materials.

toxicTom: Did you travel and wait a little while. I've heard rumours about bugs and such, but when I ordered the furniture and went adventuring about a week later everything was there. Note that I used the unofficial patches from NexusMods.

Emob78: I've heard that some players (thieves mainly) just loot and sell their gear before their weight limit hits. That must take forever running around to merchants and selling stuff all the time. Better to have a stash somewhere.

toxicTom: Well after a while I gave up on taking everthing. You wouldn't gather every clutter in real life, would you? At first I took only items with a weight/value ratio of 1:20, later 1:100. I currently have more than 100,000 septims and nothing to spend it on.
But I agree it's rather painful to get the first 5000 needed for Breezehome, since you come across a few unique items (i.e. the stuff if you become Thane) that you might want to keep as memorabilia.

NoNewTaleToTell: Just an FYI: if you pay your steward to furnish your Hearthfire homes it can take a while in-game for the furnishings to appear but it will be furnished eventually. I think it takes something like one month in-game time. Once I paid my steward to furnish my home (Lakeview Manor I think) and I went and did the entire Dawnguard questline and when I got back only half of the house had been furnished.

toxicTom: I think it takes about a week. But you have to leave the house or nothing happens. And in my case everything was furnished (I ordered everything in one go) - may the unofficial patch at work here?
I think I'll try the travel and wait method the next time I build a house. It could be that saving the game from inside the house before the furnishings are installed might bug them into not existing. In Elder Scrolls games it never hurts to wait a bit to see if shit shows up.
Prettymuch at least half my gaming hours are dedicated to Mount and Blade:Warband mods with the occasional foray into multiplayer.
Other than that, finally started Assassin's Creed II and am going to start playing either Terraria or SpaceChem soon.
King of Dragon Pass. Just poked around for a couple of game years at first, then gave up that game, started another after a while, stopped after a couple of game years again to pick Return to Krondor back up and finish that, now continuing this from where I left off. Really does seem quite one of its kind.
Geneforge and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha (Or should I say S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Quick Save and Quick Load are your allies?)

I like both of these games so far, even though I sometimes screw up in both of them.
Well, I tied up a full run through The Witcher a few days ago with all but two or three side quests finished. It was good fun, but man was there a lot of running back and forth involved. Yeah, I'm glad I finally pushed myself to tackle that game. I've only owned the game how many years now? =P It certainly was worth it. :)

Now I'm onto Witcher 2, which I bought during last year's summer sale. (Don't you love backlogs?) I'm just a bit into Flotsam now. The combat ain't bad and generally more fun - better than reflex clicking (UGH!) - but I still have to get used to how potions are handled in the sequel. I'm just not used to downing them before fights. =/ I very much like the fact though that I can pretty much meditate wherever I feel like. Definitely like the look of it, and surprisingly the new engine performs as well as if not better than the one they used for the original. My lappie doesn't even produce as much heat as it did with part 1. Kinda funny. Anyway, so far I'm quite liking it.

I'm also having a few side diversions with the simple but quite fun Super Puzzle Platformer, which was my only impulse buy during this sale. Two dollars well spent. :)

I'm playing The Witcher right now. I can't believe didn't do this before. This game rocks! :D
Pokemon FireRed on the GBASP.

I always heard about Pokemon, and I had never played it before, so I asked a friend which loves pokemon if he had games for the GBASP and I ended being addicted to it :) I am really liking it!
Finally managed to get a few more hours into Witcher 2. Prologue completed, just arrived in Flotsam.
Fieldrunners 2 (Linux)
VVVVVV (Linux)
Legend of Zelda - Spirit Tracks (NDS)
Well.....almost done with Two Worlds. Next in list are: Fallout New Vegas, then Witcher 1 and 2.
Jurassic Park.

No, not the Telltale adventure - I'm playing this one (has MT32 support as well, so playing it with MUNT running in the background).

I actually originally had it for the Amiga back in the day, but never had the patience for the sewer section of the first level. I saw it cheap on CD at a fleamarket so decided to have another crack. It's not like it'll be much of a problem for my aging laptop, even with DOSBox.

I play two games I bought from GoG's flash sales "Sir, You are being hunted " and "Blazblue - Calamity Trigger".
I don't have much time this period, so I play at most for about 30 minutes a day.

Gonna try asking for help again: any fellow goglodyte, palying Dead Island Riptide with some Cyanoacrylate Glue, willing to donate around 3-5 pieces? I'd rather not make a New Game + immediately afterwards just because i could not complete a quest.
Woltenstein: the new order
Typing of the dead: overkill
Still System Shock 2. I think I'm on level 6 now, trying to locate and turn on some transmitter. Playing on the Impossible difficulty level, I am only now starting to hold my own (not constantly running out of ammo and breaking my weapons), but still I die only from a few shots from enemies, which in practice means insta-death almost always, unless I am able to kill the enemies before they have a chance to get a shot at me.

Good thing though I read some FAQ about which skills and stuff are useful and which are not, as you really can't afford to try to be a jack of all trades and end up wasting on useless skills. I've already decided not to invest anything on PSI powers (just for technical and combat skills), and I know already there isn't any reason to try to pursue e.g. energy weapon skill 6 for the EMP rifle, as that rifle is apparently quite weak and useless. Also e.g. Repair skill is apparently quite useless overall, as is Research over 1.

The SS2 respawning enemies wouldn't irritate me that much if:

- I wouldn't almost instantly die in case they are able to hit me. From full health, it takes like two shots from a turret, female cyborg or those ninja assassins to kill me, and it seems to be impossible to dodge their shots.

- They would more often leave some useful items behind them. At least on the impossible level, the enemies etc. carry nothing worthwile 95% time, and 5% time I might find a few nanities or a soda can on them.

I find it also a bit odd what the weak spots of different enemies are. E.g. those cyborg midwives or whatever they are, it seems the best way to kill them is to have a melee weapon (a wrench or a laser rapier), run right next to them before they get a shot at you, crouch, and then just keep pushing at them and hit them with the melee weapon. For some reason they usually seem to be unable to hit you, if you crouch before them. Is that a glitch or intentional? No matter, at least it works.

jamyskis: Jurassic Park.

No, not the Telltale adventure - I'm playing this one (has MT32 support as well, so playing it with MUNT running in the background).
Sweet (albeit aggravating, those respawning enemies...) game, I even played the PC version through a long time ago. I recall it was quite a hard game at times, even getting lost in the first level.

To get (IMHO) even superior music in the game, set the music to "Roland Sound Canvas" instead of "MT-32", and (if you don't have already) install either BASSMIDI or CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth utility for a better replacement General MIDI soundfonts (I suggest loading Chorium Rev.A, it is a Roland Sound Canvas compatible GM/GS soundfont set that sounds even superior to a real Sound Canvas). I originally played it with Roland SCC-1, I found the music better that way than with MT-32 (or in my case, CM-32L). The MT-32 music is pretty nice too, though.
