    Okay guys, I got a few PMs and suggestions, and this week on Friday we'll be playing PLANETSIDE 2. This game is a giant open pvp game, where we'll be rolling as a huge group of players and doing our best to help the warfront. Picture a giant platoon of fresh faced recruits being demolished repeatedly, and that should be us. It should be super amusing!

    You'll need to download Planetside 2 from steam, and make a SOE account. We'll probably be going Vanu (the purple guys) since PA has a group there already. If theres enough interest in rolling one of the other two factions we can change it, but for now its Vanu.

    9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific on Friday night is our US Game Night, so be downloaded and set up by then to join in on the fun!

    Which server? I have a Vanu up to 8 on the US West server is why I ask.

    As it turns out, my PC version of Mass Effect is still in my inventory after a failed gifting attempt. Clearly, I have only one appropriate course of action.

    I may try to join in on this Planetsiding, but I suspect that I'll not be able to sneak away to do so at 6pm on a Friday. I'll probably be doing something mundane like cooking dinner or whatever else it is that needs to be done before the kids are in bed.

    This (and flight sims) are single-handedly the only reason I'm interested in Occulus Rift enough to want one at launch.

    And Elite: Dangerous (which is kind of a flight sim, in a way).

    It makes me desperately want a new Stealth Fighter game. A proper new version of F-19 or F-117A, my favorite flight sims ever. I would kill a man.*

    Time to start saving up.

    That is definitely against the rules.
    Thou shall not complete more than one but less than three games in one day.

    Ye shall be punished by eternal flaming damnation or be gifted all the things, so decided by people.

    Racing games are just a great way to try out new technologies. As useless as stereoscopic 3D was in general, Wipeout HD in 3D was fantastic.

    There's plenty of happenings that would influence your opinion on the ingame factions and colour your choice on who to join. Racism is a huge theme of the series overall. You learn in the first game that a Witchers' true path is completely neutral. They are monster hunters and objective ones at that. The dealings of kings and kingdoms is something that Witchers were never supposed to get involved in... though, you can choose a side if you like! I personally found that staying Neutral best suited both my personality, made the most sense on a narrative level and opened up some VERY interesting and unlikely outcomes.

    Basically, the Scoia'tael represent the oppressed non-humans of society. They are considered to be a bunch of terrorists who claim to want equality but their actions often show the opposite. Radical Scoia'tael want nothing more than the eradication of all humans.

    Then there's the humans. While the common people seem mostly tolerant of non-humans, the leadership of the human faction wants to eradicate all magic (and since non-humans are often magical, that poses a problem).

    There's also a prophecy that plays a huge part of the first game that plays out in an awesome twist at the end.

    IF you can deal with oldschool RPGs, I highly recommend giving the first game a shot. Otherwise, you may want to watch a YouTube synopsis. Pretty sure there's an official trailer that gives a decent enough rundown.

    No, no, no. You have an agreement with Pixie to not gift you things. Nothing in there about free agents.

    Repost for the start of the week. These end on Wednesday at midnight, I think? SteamGifts isn't great at letting me check these things.
    But in all seriousness, my birthday is in a week, and I wanted to do a little giveaway because that's what this place is all about. These are gonna be a mix of games that I think are kinda cool, and games I've heard good things about.

    Standard SteamGifts rules apply: be a member of PAGT, don't be a weird, be fairly active on the forums, etc.
