EveriineWise Old Swordsbird / BrontaurIndianapolis, IN, USA
Still playing Half-Life 2, made it to the citadel. I had forgotten how awesome games can be that don't interrupt the flow with cut scenes or useless narration.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"
Daraius said: You gotta risk it for the biscuit.
Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
Back to CK2, this time playing as the Jews of Semien in their attempt to refound the Kingdom of Israel and build the Third Temple!
Do you know what else would be a good idea? (asks I) I should do this in Ironman mode to start earning those Steam achievements and feeding my own ego!
First attempt: Attempt to expand via Holy wars, get roflstomped by the surrounding Monophysites. Total Game Length: 6 months
Second attempt: Decide NOT to expand via holy war, get roflstomped by a hungry Abyssinia. Total Game Length: 9 months.
Third attempt: Immediately swear fealty to Abyssinia, forget to switch succession type to primogeniture first. Learn this the hard way after siring 4 angry sons.
I am not a smart man

So I was rereading Angie Gallant dating sim Let's Plays, which I do every few months because they are the best, and I stumbled on this one from a game called Matches and Matrimony. It's basically a tiny visual novel dating sim based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, and Sense & Sensibility.
Happy Easter to me, I'm going to woo ridiculously illustrated Regency era men and deal with snotty aristocratic bitches.

If you like that genre of game and have iOS, I definitely recommend Regency Love also! Really beautifully written and animated game that draws inspiration from Austen and the Regency era.

I've started playing Child of Light now. It's so adorable, but also creepy, but soooo preeeetty.

The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable. Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.

About a year ago I picked that up, thought it might be cute for a few minutes before I stashed it aside for when my kid gets coordinated enough to play. Loaded it up, and basically lived Child of Light until I completed it twice through. I still haven't found all of the chests. =( Damn, I may have to go play again.
Favorite character: the jester that doesn't know how to rhyme, because it always prompts people to finish her sentences for her.

I was given that by my sister, who said "This has your name all over it", and I can only agree. So much so that I haven't dared touch it yet, for fear it might take me about a fortnight to surface.
It's been sitting on my Steam wishlist for awhile. Worth getting now or should I wait for a sale?
It was on sale for a little over 3$ a couple days ago when I bought it, so I snagged it!

I'm gonna add onto the pile of "Child of Light is awesome" though I actually never finished it. I have a save right before the final boss that I keep meaning to get back to.
I dug out my ancient copy of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon and I played it through again, right up until it froze and will no longer run. =( My life may be over, this was my favourite game when I was feeling sad. Man I miss games like this so much.

Games for when you are sad are so important. That used to be the Sims for me. Also Princess Maker 2 but now I've overplayed it.

I usually play Harvest Moon: Back to Nature when I am sad. I somehow find it very calming. I really wish I had a DS so I could play the newer titles as well.
Re: Regency games: I am really curious how Ever Jane turns out when it's released. I find the concept very interesting.

I overplayed Princess Maker 2, as well. There are some games I really wish I could erase my memories of so I could replay them on a blank slate and get all that fun out of them again. I'd like a font of infinite replay value, please!
I think that's why I like roguelikes (and roguelike-likes? What are they calling those now? Roguelites?) so much; the randomization element keeps them interesting longer than a game that's always the same every time. I've never once come close to ascending in NetHack, for instance, but I've been playing that game on and off for over a decade and not gotten entirely sick of it yet.

I like to play Friends of Mineral Town, it's getting harder since my old ds is dying but they did at least release a port on the WiiU Virtual Console!

It's the inherent replay value of games like Dwarf Fortress and rogue-likes (I'm fond of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup tiles version) that keeps me coming back to them.
I just found this gem: Science Kombat. It's a Street Fighter based game where you can play some of history's greatest scientists which have awesome special moves...Hawking can summon black holes for example. And Marie Curie totally kills it with a Hadouken.

Ooh I loved More Friends of Mineral Town! I was forever torn between mortal enemies Kai and Rick. In the midst of this sordid love triangle, tho, my farm was making so much bank.

I haven't actually played the female version, but I will now that it's available on VC

I'm partial to Excalibur myself. Something about being my own personal stealth-kill generating machine is really satisfying. Especially coupled with Dread, Orthos Prime, and a decent sidearm (I silenced my Kulstar, it's hilarious.)
