Yeah, that looks good; > let's get on with it. Well, no, it's not April. It's May. :) But yes, we're talking about what we were playing in May. > * Stronghold (1993) (replay) I've heard this was good, and have it on disks from a couple years ago purchase. I don't remember why I didn't play it, or did for only a couple minutes. > * Ultima VII The Black Gate (replay) > all modern > crafting systems owe their existence to Ultima VII Damn you! Damn you Ultima VII! So, I can blame you for that! > * Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance (replay) I never did get into the Star Wars space combat. It seemed pretty lackluster for whichever it was I tried after playing Wing Commander III. I keep thinking I'll go play WCIII again, but never seem to get around to it. > * Oh Sir! The Insult Simulator (new) Sounds like Monkey Island is still the way to go for a good insult battle. > What have you been playing in April (check) of 2017 (check)? Dark Souls II. Still. I think I'm done now though, I finished the base game with 3 different characters, a hexer, a mundane & a quality build. I've got 2 I haven't finished it with, a paladin (str/faith) and a pure sorcerer, the sorcerer I only started a couple weeks ago so that's why I haven't finished that one, but my paladin has been stuck even though it's my 2nd character. But I can't bring myself to finish the first DLC, I haven't started it up for 3 days now. The DLC might just be a bit too hard. So I'm thinking about what I want to do now. I could go back to GTA V, which I never got very far in. I've got Tales from the Borderlands and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel I haven't played in my recently bought list (well 12/30/16) or look for something else, or maybe just take a break for a bit. I tried to play Dungeon Robber some more but it's in flash and Chrome disabled flash and I haven't felt it's worth the bother and security issues to use IE and start over or try to get flash working in chrome just for Dungeon Robber. I played about 5 minutes of Tetris on my phone. I'm off to jury duty tomorrow, not sure what I'll do on my phone then (if that's even allowed), and it'll probably die far too fast. Or maybe I'll be playing "Hangman R.L." edition. - Justisaur
