depends on what you like. Personally I will get Dishonored, Xcom, and Halo 4. If you like superhero mmos there's champions online and of course DC online.

Playing final fantasy tactics for the first time, pretty cool so far.

It will not dissapoint and it'll get even better.

I never finished that game, unfortunately.

Oh yeah, that game. I remember it being fun, but now I can't stand to look at it over what a graphic's whore I've become.

Yeah the graphics are dated but I've heard the story is good so i decided to check it out. I'll play anything with a cool story.

So, we are playing Dark Heresy, a Warhammer 40,000 tabletop RPG, and doing it via Skype.

Blax, FinalAnswer, Scream, and the illustrious NemeBro are the ones playing, with FA GMing this practice session.

I am playing a psyker, a sort of mage class, who has a built-in mechanic that makes their powers potentially dangerous to use, doing psychic phenomena and potentially perils of the warp.

I just rolled a result that ended up in Perils of the Warp, the effect being that everything around me, including me, floats upwards, zero gravity and shit. This wasn't too bad, because the ceiling is only a little more than three meters above us, so when the effect ends we won't die of falling damage.

BUT.

The power I rolled was Fearful Aura, and because **** my fellow players, I did not warn them not to look at me, so they also suffered from it.

FA's character, a little scholar girl, was rendered catatonic, but it is what happened to Blax's Arbite, basically Judge Dredd in spehss, that warrants mention.

He will now vomit uncontrollably for roughly thirty seconds... BUT, due to the zero gravity making Blax and his vomit float at the same rate, it will basically be smothering his face the whole time.

I'm awesome.

That description sounds like it's from any of the Paranoia games I've GMed.

Especially the anti-grav bit. GK can tell you allll about my love for anti-grav grenades...

Yeah, 5 ****ing turns of drowning in a cloud of my own vomit while glued to the ceiling.

No quiero.

What's more amazing is it took Scream's Assassin the entire fight to kill the 10 wound smuggler NPC with them.

The smuggler is the party's ally, to clarify.

No he wasn't, we were planning to kill him all along for being xeno smuggling scum. O_o

Magnus (My character) was the first one to suggest killing them, you *******.

It's kind of sad that Judge Dredd was the reasonable marine of the group.

And he did it outloud, in front of them, while we were trying to make them do useful shit for us. Magnus, your character, is a tactless idiot.

I will always remember the wisdom of his words; "HWARRGGLWWBELH"

Dat solo.

Spider8reath is one of my favorite Homestuck songs.

Killed by BR8K Spider!!!!!!!! is also kickin' rad. Really all the Vriska songs are the 8est. Which is no surprise seeing as she's the 8est Troll.

She's gonna kick Meenah's ass imo.

For someone who wasn't an ally, he sure contributed more to the fight then Skex ever did. sneer

Inorite? At least Magnus actually fought the enemy. haermm

First into battle, last to leave. estahuh

Even in the face of three criminals pointing autoguns at you, never compromise.
