So ded got deleted

Archived would be the proper word.

Though its quite clear what killed the last thread.

Ok, /xcg/ is pretty dead, so how about we liven it up with a little offtopic conversation, what games does /xcg/ like?

DeviantArt?

No I won't.

I know I've been posting this "meme" for the longest time now but, as some posters guessed, I'm a longtime poster on /xcg/, and I usually keep the cyclops pics to one post at most. After that, I usually mingle with the rest of the thread.

Referring to & , I would love to learn how to mod, but, between juggling work, exercise, vidya (including xcom 2) and some other hobbies I have, modding isn't really something I have time to allocate to. Which is why I would love to commission a modder, provided I have a good lead

But I won't leave you guys - I love xcom way too much.

Way too addicted to Guild Wars 2 atm. Trying to kick the habit.

Trying to get into the Skyrim. The mods are sweeteass. But the oversimplification of the game is really losing on me - to put into perspective, Morrowind was a game I spent hours on. And it had a good amount of complexity, and mods that could change up gameplay.

As for all time favourite games.... well shit. I love a lotta games. Lets see what are the immediate ones I can think of:

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: Fucking love this game. I think this is THE game that defines Firaxis. Sure, the Civilization games are great, but SMAC is what made their mark

Deus Ex: THE Deus Ex. Not that Adam Jensen weaboo stuff. Motherfucking JC Denton. Thats my shit right there. Fact: if you're not playing Xcom 2 with the JC Denton voicepack, youa re doing it wrong.

Half-Life: Whats said about Half-Life thats not been said before. The fact that people still play HL1, years after it came out, speaks about the longevity of the original game alone. Heck, I'm still playing Team Fortress Classic over TF2. And there's some pretty good mods - like The Hunger

Arcanum: One of the best RPGs I've played. Made by the same company who did

V:tm:B - Its like Dues Ex. But with vampires. Its a bity Valve fucked Troika over this game. But it was some sweet shit

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - if mdoern FPSs are too easy for you, STALKER really puts you on the edge. Its a pity not even FPSs are like STALKER

Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2: Aside from Morrowind, my other favorutie RPG. YTeah I also liked Icewind Dale 2 and Baldur's Gate, but NWN had more mods. And just felt more fun. Plus NWN 1 and 2 were sufficiently different from each other that both could be enjoyed for their respective merits

Skullgirls: Yeah I play fighters. Aside from other games. And I just like setting and characters of Skullgirls the most. I really hope, after Indivisible, they do a SKullgirls 2

(tbc.)

>Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2
Could it be that I've found the only other person in the world who's played 2 past the first act, where it goes from a 3/10 to a 8/10?
