    No, I started to play, but then ended up playing COD:MW and DCS. But they have a daily reward, so I log in every day, claim the
    reward, give it to my character and log out.

    I have yet to actually play.

    Eve is a game that I have had zero desire to play.

    I've always been interested in it, but just have never taken the plunge.

    There is kind of a running joke:

    "What do you tell your boss if he sees you playing a game on your laptop during work?"

    All other games: ...

    EVE player: I'm doing my taxes.

    Just picked up Dirt Rally 2.0 on sale on Steam if that interests anyone. The base game is 12.00 but I opted for the GOTY edition for 24.00 which comes with more goodies.

    Been playing The Show 20. This is the first time I've really put any significant time on one of these games in a few years because I got burnt out on it. The time away did me good because I'm really enjoying it now.

    I’ve figured out NBA 2k20. Put Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson, and all the Vols on the Knicks and I’m obliterating all comers

    90% of the Suns roster is from Kentucky.

    FF7 Remake = too much fluff so far.

    I’m a big fan of the idea of extending the details of the story of everything that happens in Midgar. I love the extra time getting to know Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie, and the additional details around Shinra are a great addition to the storyline.

    But there’s just not enough that actually happens in Midgar to justify this game only covering that piece of the story. That became abundantly clear with all of the annoying, redundant side missions. Go to this spot, kill this monster, return to the person who gave you the mission. Find 3 cats, find 5 children, etc. These missions are just fluff, and if you’re going to take a single game and stretch out the remake into 2 or 3 separate games, you can’t fill them with this much fluff.

    I’m having enough fun to keep playing, but I do wonder why they wouldn’t have chosen a different cut off for where to split between the games. I can think of a number of points in the story where the cut would make sense, and it would have allowed them to sensibly make 2 separate games without wasting everyone’s time with stupid missions where you walk around looking for cats.

    You mean like disks 1, 2, and 3 on the original PC version back in the late 90's? I could see cutting 1 a littler earlier and putting the Aeris events in the middle of 2, but having an entire game based on early Midgar does make you wonder how they are going to treat the rest of the story.

    Leaving Midgar is the cleanest breaking point until Junon. I've enjoyed the game, but I had to accept that FF7 Remake isn't FF7. Its heavily inspired by it, but its a different game.

    With all the additional character development, losing Arieth is going to be that much more painful.

    Yeah, that’ll be really tough 5 years from now.

    Downloaded Age of Empires II last Saturday evening and proceeded to play non-stop right on through until light was coming in Sunday morning, slept a couple hours, and wrecked the church's webcast due to a boneheaded decision to try to fix something that really didn't need fixed.

    Played some Caesar 3 today. Found a widescreen executable for it on the new fangled internet thing.
