Just finished the campaign for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 last night (on Playstation 4).  One of the best CoD campaigns of the series in my opinion, but one that will leave your brain scrambled and wondering what's real and what actually happened.

Well,  my PC just burned and now im playing on a notebook a lot of indies and old ones like Skyrim and TorchLight 2 .  But currently im enjoing a lot Pillar Of Eternity.

How does Pillars of Eternity compare to TL2? The latter was the first Diabo-style game I seriously got into and enjoyed it tremendously (although I haven't finished it as of yet).

PoE is more like Baldurs Gate without ADnD Rules. Less action, more role playing.

Just started playing Minecraft on PC.  I have never really played Minecraft.  Got it on PS4 and Wii U the other day (my wife plays on Wii U) and I wanted to play on PC so that I could take it around with me and have the "infinite" world size.  That way if I get tired of working on an area I can just pack up and move some place else.

 

First night and I had built myself a small shack.  When daylight came around I went ahead and started mining some stuff.  I came back to my shack to make some things in my furnace and APPARENTLY creepers can stick around during daylight because one walked into my shack behind me and blew me up and killed me.  It caused a small crater and blew the door off my shack.  I was mad for a minute because I hadn't thought to check the coordinates of my house so I had to wander around and look for it in the dark.

 

Here's my poor doorless shack after the onslaught of the dreaded "creeper", :p

Just completed the free demo for "Life is Strange" on Playstation 4.  For some reason I had trouble getting into Heavy Rain, so I wasn't sure I would enjoy another interactive novel kind of game, but I actually really enjoyed the "Life is Strange" demo.  :-)

 

Getting ready to start my 14 day free trial of Final Fantasy 14, also on the PS4.

Edited by Gerowen

Been playing the Final Fantasy 14 free trial on PS4 the past few days, and I'm really enjoying it.  It gives you the option to use a keyboard/mouse or a controller and I've been using a controller.  I've really liked the controller except for navigating the UI.  If I want to click a quest or open my map or something I have to click the touchpad left or right until the pointer is in the right area and then select the thing I want to toggle or mess with, it's really awkward.  For movement and combat though, the controller seems great, :-)

Played some Battlefield 4 earlier with a buddy.  He came over and brought his PS4 with him and we used separate TVs to play online for a while.  Captured this clip of him saving my skin.

Made a new Minecraft world and let it use a random seed.  It put me on an island with like 3 trees and no wildlife (or other land) for as far as I can see except for octopi/squids and blowfish that spit something at me and cause "mining fatigue" that renders me unable to dig or mine anything for like 5 minutes.  There is ONE other island that is level with the water so it just barely breaks the surface, and it's just sand with a flower or two on it about 10x10 squares.

 

The blowfish appear to be congregating around some sort of underground portal or dungeon or something though.

 

My lonely island.

The dungeon I believe I've found under the ocean.

Dragon Age: Origins on PC.  Got myself a new laptop because my old PCs couldn't even play Minecraft at more than 20 fps.  I played DA:O on XBox 360 and PS3 and loved it, but never took the time to sit down and finish it.  The PC version is SO much better in the ways you interact with it, and being able to crank everything in last gen games up as high as they'll go is just the icing on the cake.  I've always been mainly a console gamer, but this new laptop might just bring me around to the dark side, :-)

Ever since I got my XBox360, I have been furiously playing Mass Effect Trilogy.  I wanted to make sure I got the best ending possible for Mass Effect 2 so I can start 3 with a good beginning.

Played through the last 2 on Playstation 3 (the first one didn't come out on PS3 until they released the trilogy box set) and absolutely loved them.  Mass Effect 2 and 3 are two of the best games I've ever played in my life.  I need to sit down and finish the original.

I totally agree.  I have never become so involved in a games story like I have with Mass Effect.  I'm planning on getting an XBox One just to get Mass Effect: Andromeda next year.

Dead Space (PC).  I played a demo for Dead Space 2 years ago on the PS3, but never sat down and finished any of them.  Was going through the list of "free" games on Origin Access and spotted Dead Space so I figured I'd give it a try.  My brother absolutely loves the first two.  Game is weird as can be so far.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
