FFD: What would you rather be playing right now?

Bored

If you’re one of the many who took today off work to have a long weekend, I’m busy hating you – as is pretty much everyone else who’s sitting at a desk right now, not playing videogames and being awesome.

While half the country is off doing things that aren’t work, the rest of us sit twiddling our thumbs, making it look like we’re working. If you’re one of the unfortunates stuck doing completely un-awesome things under the guise of employment, tell us what you’d be playing if you weren’t chained to a desk.

I took the opportunity yesterday to get back in to Borderlands, finally making use of that stupid season pass I bought; and I have to say, Mr Torgue’s campaign of carnage is a heck of a lot of fun; re-instilling the faith in the franchise that the previous pirate-themed DLC ripped away; and I’d much, much rather be shooting things right now.

What would you rather be playing?

      Cool little machine; ton of great games that you’ll probably hate, because you’re all hardcore and stuff. 🙂

        Wrong!
        Thats the reason i want to get one, i miss my little Japanese RPG’s and the Pokemons

        Im either going to get a decent keyboard for my pc or get one of these that would make sense, i can play it anywhere i want.

        Was thinking of actually picking up a GameBoy colour you can get them cheap cheap from pawn shops these days but thought about a DS

          Friend.

          I was recently bought one of these for my bday… i have never been more excited in my whole life – it came with B&W2 which isnt the most fun pokemon since now there is bin(pokemon) and garbage(pokemon) these new 5th gen look like normal animal…. but its a fucking amazing thing –

          THE ONLY ISSUE and i stress this POINT!

          is that it cannot connect to the wifi of this century , you can only connect it to wifi if its in WEP format such as 51512115215081 ( as ur wifi password )

          but yes. its the fucking baws.

          regards,

          me

      if you are an RPG fan ….. GET IT on the double. I love my DS and it has such a rich library of rpgs, which is my main reason for getting one.

        Its actually funny, my first play through It was damn hard… second one it was pretty easy (Playing on hard)

        Probably because I had a better talent selection and used my signs properly.

    /trollhat off

    Tee-hee!

    But I’d like to play a bit more Operation Flashpoint this weekend, but chances are I won’t get a chance. Stupid adulthood… My freetime is not my own. 🙁

      Well, I wouldn’t argue that an offline option would be WIN, but the online thing has it’s perks 🙂 But then again, the OPTION would be great, instead of ALWAYS online.

    After finishing Ascension’s campaign I wanna hop in the Judgement campaign.

    Also, Geoff, I like you more now that I know that you like Spaced.

    And I like Gavin less now that I know that he prefers The Walking Dead over Spaced…

    Some BF3, some EVE. But to be honest, I started playing SimCity last night… gone through the tutorial and started playing with a few friends in their region. Man, that game is so engrossing! I noticed it started getting quite nippy in the room, I checked the time and it was suddenly 01:00! “Frak! Got to go guys. Got work in a few hours.” So went to bed, and now chained to desk thinking of what I’ll be doing next in my new city 🙂

    Borderlands 2 for me!! It’s such a fun game that I’ve been playing this and my copy of Tomb Raider is gathering dust. Probably a mistake buying the Borderlands 2 Add-on pack around the same time!

    I started Borderlands with the new character and am pretty far into the game. Want to get this finished then onto the DLC campaigns. Only then can I move to Tomb Raider.

    I am not a fan of alternating 2 games, I end up getting confused with stories and different buttons used!

    PSN+ got a bit of a sale going, so I bought a couple of cool games. (I hope). Bought the Walking Dead 1 – 5, Dead Island GOTY and I am Alive.

    I hope it’s worth it.

    Well, I’m currently in Finland on a work trip. They gave me a stipend of 400 Euros. It was supposed to last me two weeks. I made the unfortunate call of going past Gamestop. 2 hours later I left the store with Dead Space 3, God of War Ascension, Tomb Raider, The Mass Effect Trilogy, Dark Souls, Red Dead Redemption and a bunch of other games. The guy behind the counter asked, “Did you just get a PS3 or are you simply just buying a fuckload of games?” I said, “I’d rather spend 400 Euros on games than on food.” The fist bump that followed was epic in scale.
