Truth. If he's got a complete copy in good shape, it's worth hundreds of dollars on sites like eBay.

Is Mice and Mystics like a knockoff Redwall board game?

Some similarities, but not really. The storyline is basically this: a good king falls for a beautiful but evil sorceress. Your party is loyal to the king, and speaks out against her, so she turns you into mice. Thus, you end up battling through crawl spaces, kitchen counter-tops, etc. against rats, spiders and the castle house cat instead of the standard RPG baddies. Mechanically, it's a standard table-top dungeon crawl; where it stands out is in its gorgeous (and more kid-friendly) aesthetics and well-written story.

So it basically follows the story line of every dude ever who has friends and also fell for a female....??

Will reach out. There's a chance it got tossed in their last move. Oh well, he ain't hurting for money anyway.

I've been sucked back into Overwatch.

Hero Quest was the shit. I remember talking my grandmother into a few dungeon runs when we would stay with her, my brother and I loved that game. Had a few of the expansions too. Think I still have them somewhere, but it's definitely not mint.

I mean we've gone through your hording habits before but if you ever get rid of those expansions you'd better hit your boy up....

Blizzard has a way of doing that.

Been dabbling with Tom Clancy's The Division again. Fun stuff.

Do you Gwent?

Never outside of TW3. I've watched it streamed a few times, but that's it. Still playing Hearthstone.

Get on it. It's very good.

 

[RyCo1983]

Hearts of Iron IV has been my game of choice lately.

 

[greyhammer90]

I'm sitting at home drinking whiskey and watching Overwatch League. What happened to my life.

On temp leave from work, post-op. First time in about four years I don't myself with some time to myself with nothing to do. Finally broke down and bought FIFA '18. Only a few marches in, but it's pretty sick.

You want to get OP easy on FIFA you go with Schalke. Lmao at a midfield with Meyer, Goretzka, and Geis. What a gong show.

Is anyone old enough/young enough to remember Counter-Strike?

Depends...which one you talkin' fam.

OG? Source? GO?

I played a good bit of source. If the other two are anything like Source, pretty unforgiving game.

Hoarder? You have no idea! I keep a collection of cat feces from the last 30 years, it's magnificent. This place is such a mess though...haven't seen the floor since '93...eh, I'll clean next decade!

Yup, for sure, played the original back in college. I played waaaay more Day of Defeat though, which was a CS mod and one of the early WWII shooters. I spent many an hour on the dod_charlie map, which was a recreation of the Omaha Beach D-Day invasion. I both remember sniping people running up the beach as they spawned in, as well as dodging sniper fire as I played as Allied forces. I was pretty good sneaking around, blowing up objectives and opening entrances. Avalanche was a lot of fun too....lot of closed in quarters for machine gunners, not a lot of wide open spaces. I shoveled a lot of fools coming around corners. Damn, kinda wanna play now...

I'm pretty new to the sport, so I have no idea what any of this means, but it sounds absolutely delightful LOL

Btw CD Projekt Red is going to be presenting something at E3. I'd bet we're finally going to get a look at CyberPunk 2077. I sincerely hope it's an actual game demo and not just a teaser trailer. I don't know if my heart can take a "it'll be out sometime in late 2021" announcement.

The idea of an openworld cyberpunk game with the complexities of the Witcher series that can be played in first person sounds like it'll thoroughly ruin my marriage.

Your wife tells me your marriage is already ruined.

That's a weird thing for a mother to talk to her son about.

Definitely the OG version. I didn't realize that it was still around. Cool.

I know, I really miss those days of being able to spend hours playing with my friends. I wouldn't be able to get back into it, though. Not just because of life and responsibilities, but because one of my best friends (who was in the clan) died. Too many memories.

 

[dublinirish]

Day of Defeat was awesome back in the day.

 

[Henges24]

Fortnight has been addicting.

 

[ACamp1900]

Beat Blood and Wine's main story yesterday... it's been a very impressive add on for sure.

Did you spare Syanna? What mutation did you pick? And what armor set did you end up crafting?
