    So, I'll be honest. I haven't played Arcanum in like 2-3 years. I haven't done much gaming at all since I started my IT job. Last night I booted up Titan's Quest, and picked up where I'd left off. I'm quite enjoying it, and am going to try and beat the game (and expansion) again.

    What're all of you playing, if anything, and when was the last time you played Arcanum?

    The last time I played Arcanum, as in, really played rather then started it up for 15min, was too damn long ago.

    I've recently picked up Homeworld, back where I left off. I finished the first game and recently got about 70% through Homeworld:Cataclysm. This game is quite awesome, if a bit of a time hog. I'm really impressed by how much actually depends on the player, things like formations and attack patterns really matter here. This is the first RTS I've played where it is massively advantageous to attack the enemy from behind or above, or two directions at once.

    The last time I played anything, it was Arcanum. I ended that run in the boil, where I was quickly overcome. Regardless of stat values, if you're only level 3, there's a very, very small chance that you'll kill anything in there, in real time.
    When I'm not playing Arcanum, I play KOTOR. The story's well put together, and I enjoy being able to plan encounters before they pan out. I also enjoy the dialogue options, though I've played through the game so much that I hardly have to read anything. The only thing I don't like about KOTOR is that it doesn't have the same quantity of items that can be made on a work bench as KOTOR 2, but, that's forgivable, seeing as I'm comparing a game to its own sequel.

    Apart from Starcraft 2, I still fire up Arcanum occasionally, and I also grind myself to ever higher echelons of fame and glory in Mount and Blade every now and then. Should probably get around finishing Dragon Age too.

    Last time I played Arcanum was in August. I'm playing Pokemon SoulSilver and Planescape: Torment right now.

    Currently playing Arcanum and Commandos behind enemy lines. Last time I played Commandos was probably 3 years ago, in those years it was extremely hard for me but now I enjoy it.

    Arcanum, Dragon Age and way too much Starcraft.

    Would be nice to play again with X-Com, PsT and Arx Fatalis sometimes.

    Last proper Arcanum game was two months ago. Been juggling my precious time between Starcraft 2, Civilization V and Fallout: New Vegas. Although Fallout has been getting the favourite child treatment at the moment. Oddly enough it makes me want to play Fallout 2 again.

    Any thoughts about creating the land of Arcanum in Minecraft? Or even something like Qintarra?

    If the paradox thread is any indication I do love a good troll every now and again. Still need to finish all my uni assignments for this semester and complete 2 more playthroughs of FO:NV.

    Currently playing Arcanum, as usual, finally trying out A:WIP this time while I'm at it. I'm also in the middle of completing the Heroes Chronicles campaigns. I have a game in Fallout 3, but it has been weeks since I last played it and it is somehow hard to find the motivation to return to it.

    Other than that, I'm in the mood for reinstalling Jedi Academy and having some fun with a dual saber wielding chick.

    That's something I haven't done in a while. Never was I more happy with the Quake 3 engine.

    I recently started Titan Quest. I also finished New Vegas a while ago. Oh, and the new Sims expansion.

    And soon Black Ops will be out, gotta buy that.
