If you enjoyed Skyrim, you will also enjoy Shadows of Mordor. Depending upon what kind of games you enjoy, aside from Skyrim style, I can probably suggest some more to. It really all just depends on what you are in to.

Unfortunately I do not have a PS4 yet. How are you liking it though? I have the PS3, and will I am sure eventually upgrade to the current generation of consoles.

I love the PS4 it will have a great life span even compared to the XBox One. The hardware and OS can handle it, provided their PlayStation Network can stay online long enough! But like all the previous generations I expect to get at least 8-10 years out of it so it's totally worth it in my mind. I still have each generation of PlayStation setup and playable

bit of a geek...err an aficionado, like that.

Still play the ps3 occasionally if you're on anything!

Shadows of Mordor is pretty good in general, but when I played it it had serious freeze bugs on the PS3. I don't know if those have been patched yet, but it'd be nice if they were so I could finish it and get my platinum trophy already.

I'd read about the freezing which is why I hadn't given it a go. I heard that it wasn't a problem on the PS4 but as I will be sticking with my PS3 for a good while yet I was just going to pass for now unless anyone has more positive experience?

Thanks. I've been bingeing on Assassin's Creed recently. Other than that I'd say my top three series are obviously Elder Scrolls but also an old school love for both Final Fantasy and Zelda.

Been jumping into Runescape a little bit lately, and checking out the new Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell which so far has been pretty awesome.

We also found a pretty wicked friendly Minecraft server that we enjoy, if anyone else is looking for a good server to play on, just let us know.

I've actually heard bad things about it, which is kind of sad given that I was looking forward to it after how awesome Saints Row 4 was.

What modpack/mods does the server use?

What sort of bad things did you hear? I have been playing on the PC and I am really enjoying it.

I am not entirely sure what mods they have installed. But we play on the server called D'hara. We originally found them on Fetlife. Apparently though, bright_arrow is telling me they have Spigot 1.8 that helps it run stable. We really enjoy it, everyone there is super friendly, and accepting and nobody griefs and just wants to have a good time. If you are interested the website for their server is www.dhara.enjin.com. Let me know if you have any questions!

Mostly that it's just not nearly as clever or inspired as Saints Row 4 was. Granted, "not as clever or inspired as Saints Row 4" isn't saying much, but. I was a bit surprised to see how harsh the Metacritic review score was when it came out.

Taking a look at the server's plugins... a multiplayer chest shop mod, a multiplayer block protection mod, and a multiplayer "MMO" content mod. Thanks for the heads-up.

I picked up Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, and I have to say I rather like it. Opinions on it seem to be somewhat mixed--some people apparently dislike that it's not just more of the first Hotline Miami, having a much bigger focus on story (making it virtually the antithesis of one of the bigger apparent themes of the first Hotline Miami, which was an effective argument that story isn't strictly necessary to support excellent gameplay) and even allowing story to dictate game mechanics where particular playable characters are concerned (granted, even the first Hotline Miami did this after the fake ending). Myself, I'm quite fine with this--I'm not in the camp that would argue that a sequel should just be more of the game that came before it, and appreciate that Hotline Miami 2 has its own identity and themes, even if some of those themes are the exact opposite of themes in the original.

The fast-paced one-hit-kill ultra-violence set to energetic, blood-pumping music and trippy visuals, as well as the theme of violence being a fundamental part of the human psyche, however, remain. And I appreciate the retention of these themes as much as I do the introduction of new ones.
