    I'm still hooked on my recently discovered liking of Team Fortress 2. I feel as if I've barely scratched the surface, but I'm having a great time. And the characters are awesome. I also wander back to Skyrim now and again.

    I enjoy it so much! I played about a year ago actually, had an account with a lvl 67 Shadow Priest, but I lost the information and started a new one about a month ago. Now I'm leveling a fury warrior and another shadow priest. It's excellent.

    Ever tally up the amount of cash spent on wow? I'm glad the cash went to wow instead of alcohol or an equally destructive hobby hhaha. Like college.

    Edit: stupid iPad auto corrected equally to sexually...

    WoW was a huge money saver. Lost weight because I was too busy to eat. Didn't spend that much money on food. It took a hit to my social life tho, my wife still remembers the time I played WoW and she wasn't that happy about it.

    Most recently I've been playing Dota 2, Sleeping Dogs and just finished a nice little platformer/puzzle game called Unmechanical. Too bad none of these are Starbound, though. Checking the front page every day just makes it harder to wait... though I am wonderfully grateful for the (amazingly) frequent updates, ever since those ores were leaked.

    Dwarf Fortress, Europa Universalis IV, Crusader Kings II, Saints Row IV and unless the Beta drops next month I'm gonna be enjoying the hell out of GTA V which should keep me more than occupied for the remainder of the wait.

    I've been playing a lot of unreal tournament 99, unreal tournament 2004 and unreal tournament 3.

    Tf2 is my most played game :3.
    If you want to get better, here's some console commands that make TF2's netcode work better. Sometimes you'll miss with hitscan weapons even tough you clearly hit, this will fix that. go to the concole with ~`, and type:
    Cl_cmdrate 66(if it's not already)
    cl_updaterate 66(If it's not already) Servers refresh at 66 fps(tic), but my default setting was 33 for both.
    cl_smooth 0(makes it so that the enemies won't be smoothed so it's more accurate)

    The deal change(you'll have to do this one everytime you start, unless you mace an autoexec.cfg file:

    cl_interp 0.0152 for projectile classes (demoman, soldier)
    cl_interp 0.033 for hitscan classes (everything else)
    cl_interp 0.04 for medic (personal preference)

    for a bad connection:
    cl_interp 0.03-0.05 for projectile classes
    cl_interp 0.05-0.08 for hitscan classes

    When I did this, I suddenly could aim with demoman. I have no idea why, but it makes aiming a lot easier. Appearantly, cl_interp(interpolation) is normally on 0.1, which is a lot and way too much for even bad connections. This basicly results into more lag/ping/ms.
    cl_interp is a magic command that solves every problem with projectiles.
    If you're interested, I'll tell you have to make an autoexec file so you wont have to type it in the console everytime.

    also turn on damage numbers in advanced options, that works really well.

    I'll take note of that, but I don't know if I'll use it just yet. Are you even allowed to use console commands?

    StarSector, much like starbound its in alpha atm and there is a MASSIVE update coming that i've been preparing for.
    Fallout new vegas, got it on the steam summer sale awhile back for 5 bucks, been sinking time into it since then.
    And i've been making a board game, from scratch that is a table top turn based strategy game the last one has been eating more time than the other 2.

    When bored:

    Unreal Tournament 3 - Awesome for passing the time when bored
    Cortex Command
    The Sims 3 - Call me whatever you want, this game can be really fun sometimes
    Just Cause 2
    GTA SA, on my way to the 26th time I finished the main story.(can't say I'm proud, I would have many more friends if I hadn't spent so much time on this)

    With Friends:

    FIFA 13
    Age of Empires 2 HD - Multiplayer with friends is sick as always
    Garry's Mod (mostly Trouble in Terrorist Town gamemode) - Great with friends and even solo with random strangers

    Other times:

    Gnomoria......which is sort of introducing me to Dwarf Fortress. Still really wish the best for Gnomoria, I hope they make it at least nearly as complex as DF (70% of its complexity would be good enough). I just reeeeeeeeally can't handle the graphics in DF as much as I want to (even with the "texture packs").
    Witcher 2
    Prison Architect - What a game, super addicting!
    Batman Arkham City - Can't bring myself to finish the story, I just keep freeroaming
    Mount & Blade Warband

    I've gone onto Skyrim again with the frostfall survival/camping mod enabled. It's really cool (pardon the pun). It really makes you think before getting into a long fight if a blizzard is blowing up north; if you get caught unprepared it could be fatal.
