Be patient with the UI. It's old, but once you figure it out things will get a lot easier. Outside of that just try and keep the RNG in mind and have fun.

Strongly consider skipping the first. If you're dead-set on playing it, don't feel honor-bound to complete it before moving to the second. BGII is one of those great sequels that takes an already awesome original and exceeds it on every front, so it's aged much better. I think the overall story of the first one is better, but the characterization and moment-to-moment writing in the second is far superior, and that's basically the only point I can give 1 versus 2.
Now, if you do wanna take the hard road, there are rewards to be had. These games wrote the book on save importing, and have yet to be beat at it. There's some pants near the beginning of 1 that have no function until the second game, and must be lugged around that entire time. All PCs can die, and there's an incredible amount of attention paid to what happened to who. Sidequests and characters come back around in surprising, sometimes shocking ways.
My favorite example is reviving the antagonist of the first game and pressing him into service in your party. The lore around being able to do so is extremely satisfying, and vindicates your character growth in a way no other game I've played does.
I would recommend a guide for any BG1 playthrough - The game relies on RNG to a ludicrous degree, even in 'cutscenes', and thus it can be quite hard to tell what's supposed to be happening at times. Is this dungeon outlevelled, intentionally difficult, or is there some weird resistance fucking with your damage output? Do you come back later, switch gear, or cast a spell? The answers can be found in-game (in tiny text that speaks entirely in AD&D vocabulary), but you'll save a whole lot of time by having a guide queued to your location and turning to it the first time things get screwy.
Oh, and save often. In separate slots.

I don't think I'm going to bother finishing Shadow of War. Feels identical to the last game. I enjoyed the batman-esque combat, and platforming can be fun. The first game was never all that challenging, and neither is this one. It really undercuts what they're going for with the uruk leaders. Maybe I should play on hard but I don't really care that much.

Touhou is finally coming to Steam!:
http://tohonetwork.doorblog.jp/archives/72952312.html
The first one to be released is Touhou 16 which will apparently be out before the end of the year (Zun said it’ll be out before Winter Comiket which is held on the 29th-31st of December) and Touhou 17 will be released on Steam some time next year.
Can’t wait till game journalists try to review it, also hopefully it means Zun will release the older Touhou games too (On consoles as well as Steam).

They reworked the Xbone live rewards system. For completing a quest last o I got a month free of Xbone Gold instead of a 55 inch tevee as stated I was in a drawing for.
Still decent.
They’re trying hard to stuff Mixer up my ass but it lacks pathetic titty streamers to fuck with. Need moar of that.

It’s global Minecon time right now and the world is at maximum autism, if you need to cast any spells or anything now is the time.

I found a really weird game on steam called "we are Chicago". It has a very negative rating (36% of 19 reviews are positive). I came across it looking for discounted games. From what I can tell from the reviews and this one youtube video I watched it appears to be an adventure game with very little actual game play. None of the decisions matter as you're either given two (or more) very similar choices or the game simply ignores any 'bad' choices. The same goes for failing a mini game (it just resets and either treats it as if you passed or gives you a chance to redo it).
I can't tell what this game's story is exactly. The player is a black high school student from a poor inner city neighborhood. The game is extremely boring and preachy. There is also an option to turn off violent scenes (which are usually just people pointing guns, not actually shooting them).

Is anyone into the eSports scene in general, whether it'd be playing games, dreaming of becoming a pro player, or just watching them? I'm more into the watching part than playing part.

I got ea access using up a gift card, I absolutely am finding a lot of the Star Wars shit boring as fuck.
I like the car racing and skateboarding games fine though.
I’ve also spent too much money on Pinball Fx3 tables, now those are quality Star Wars products.
I watch Rocket League and Minecrap shit on Mixer and Twitch and also enjoy irritating the shit out of boobie streamers. They chose to sell their body instead of being good at games, so I’m free to ask them creepy questions and shit.

I'm kinda fascinated by Raiden from MGS.
We start with MGS 2, where Raiden is meant to deconstruct the self-insert nature of player characters. His conversations with Rose all stem from the fact he is pretty much a blank state during the Plant Chapter. In a way, she's trying to get him to open up and explain who he really is outside of the player's control. It's also worth noting that the game goes to great lengths to say he, and the player by extension, is not Solid Snake. Even the story about how his creation stemmed from a woman saying she wouldn't want to play as an old man has a role in this, reflecting how the player character acts as an extension of the player's desires.
We get to Arsenal Gear and Raiden is stripped bare. This is when his backstory and who Raiden really is are established, and Raiden begins to separate himself from Snake by using a sword rather than guns. It's actually his only weapon for the last fight, and the game ends with Raiden throwing off the dog tags the player made and starting his life with Rose. MGS 2 is about the player realizing the line between who they are and who they play as, with emphasis on having a fulfilling life in the real world.
But Raiden has trouble accepting who he really is. Instead of Snake he tries to become this Samurai/Ninja hybrid, and it puts heavy strain on his relationship with Rose. In the end, Rose and his son help drag him out of his depression with the hope of a brighter future at the end of MGS 4. MGR Revengence though is Raiden finally coming to terms with who he is, by accepting his past warts and all he becomes more powerful. Not to mention the entirely different style of gameplay from the rest of the franchise. That's Raiden's arc through these three games, and I really love this how this was handled.
This is really weird to me. Of the original 3 MGS games, 2 was the one I'd give the lowest rating due it's pacing. Once the cool, trippy stuff starts at Arsenal Gear the game ends rather quickly. But in the end, it's that game I still think about nowadays in terms of plot and themes, while with Snake Eater (highest rated game) it's all about how fun the gameplay was.

Looking at her stuff and playing some of it out of curiosity, I can safely say that Nina Freeman is the most self-absorbed game creator ever. When ten of the sixteen games you've made are about yourself in some way, you got to wonder, especially if it's about your personal hang-ups . I think she has hit some new heights with her most recent game which is not only about her as a teen, you get to play as her, you get to decorate her website which is partually about her with pictures of her.

Got back into KOTOR, the first game really doesn't hold your hand as much as the second one does.

This weekend, I have a lot of free time to myself, and I was considering a hardcore run on Fallout New Vegas. I've never done a hardcore run, so I was wondering if any of you had tips for it.

Food items will get better than stimpacks when you keep allocating points to your survival stat.
Survival, lockpick, speech, and gun stats are the best. Other than that, you just have to have the willingness to survive. The determination to always be an top, even when there are a bunch of raider faggots who dog pile onto you and stuff their big cocks in your little boy pussy. Also, follower NPC's in that game are fucking broken. Always take one with you, unless you want a real challenge.

I did hardcore somehow, despite preferring TES over FO, and generally disliking New Vegas.
God bless the lesbian cowgirl. Fucking high noon 24/7 it seems, until I got the fisting knight lady. You can practically just cover and wait out fights and let them deal with it.

I was fantasizing that if I somehow ended up in a far flung, ultra high tech future, I would instruct an a.i. to make me sequels to games I loved based on the best strengths of the series.
You know, like they'd make a holodeck version of "Guitar Hero: Wëen" and the a.i would really capture the culture and experience of being a fan of the band, not just featuring the songs.
I'd want a bit where Dean or Gener had to try and finish a concert high as fuck and if you played too bad the drummer quit the tour or whatever and you had to start over. Shit like that.
