I unfortunately started playing New Vegas very soon after a second dozens-of-hours playthrough of 3, so the burnout kept me from getting too far.
Mine is still on the shelf, unplayed
It sounds amazing, but these days I prefer the quicker fixes, like Smash 4 or Splatoon.
Same here, bought it ages ago at the peak of its hype, never played. That goes for the majority of my PS3 library though. >_>

I didn't like Fallout 3 as much as New Vegas.

yeah it makes me sad but I just prefer games that won't take me tons of time now. I just don't have as much time as I used to to devote to games.
I truly am becoming an old.

I was having this exact conversation with my friend in the car last night lol
it ended with me saying "I'm getting too old"
I used to think this the last time I got a job while still going to school, but going back to being an unemployed student fixed it.
Yeah my hype levels are virtually gone.
Mario Kart 8 was the last game I really got hype for and made me buy the system.
Heck it's the only game in the last 4 years that I've still gone back to after beyond a month.
I'm the same way with single player focused games. If there's some sort of goal to reach, I just feel like I absolutely have to devote so much time to it.
I can easily sink 50 hours into multiplayer games, but feel overwhelmed by a story that's going to take a few hours to finish.
I've put 13 hours into Splatoon so far, and none of it is from the single player mode.

I'm the complete opposite. Now that I'm growing older in age, I prefer single player games with a good story instead of multiplayer games (besides FIFA). I don't have the time or reactions to be good in MP anymore. Especially since I used to play CS 1.6 at such a high level. My personal expectations haven't lowered over time with where my skill once was, so now I just rage when I keep getting owned instead of accepting my mediocrity.
I haven't really played many games this year now that I think about it. Just BloodBorne and now loving TW3.

I'm the opposite. I avoid MP games because I want to try out new experiences constantly. That's usually why MP-focused games never really hold my attention for long.
The last MP game that I liked was Halo 3 where I sunk a lot of hours into it.
I don't mind playing any SP game. I just do it by piecemeal since I don't feel like I have to devote a lot of hours at any particular time to a game.

We have $20 million to play with.
Priorities (not in order)
- Sign Kesler to an extension, he's only here one more year then he's a UFA. Let's just get rid of the idea he can leave us for Detroit/Toronto next year)
- Resign Silfverberg to a bridge contract, dude deserves it
- Resign Etem (probably won't be pricey at all with how he's performed)
Getting Beauchemin to take a reasonable deal isn't too hard. The hard part is finding a spot for Beauchemin, he wasn't great in the WCF. Our top 6: Lindholm, Fowler, Despres, Wisniewski, Vatanen, Stoner. Josh Manson is solid and can earn a spot, but he's no Beauchemin.
Also forgot Lindholm only makes under 900k next year then is a RFA, need to sign him up too.
Beleskey deserves a raise, but not sure how much of a discount he can take and how much we can give considering the other players we want to sign/extend.
edit: BTW Mario Kart 8 is Game of the Year material. So much fun. Kave_Man has taste. Not bad for a cat.
The gf and I play NSMBU and MK8 on occasion. They've held our attention for almost an entire year, and we've rarely played games together otherwise. Pretty amazing multiplayer (and social) experiences.
For my part I only really play backlog games these days (ones I haven't completed already). I can't justify spending $50-$70 on a game anymore. Dark Souls is better than anything new out there anyhow.

I'm much more of a multiplayer person but it's been quite a long time for any mp game to come out that has held me for long. I'm VERY hopeful that Overwatch will be the next thing I latch onto for a long time but I don't know. It's hard to get me to sit down and play a single player narrative driven thing.
Agree with your priority list 100%. Kesler in his exit interview spoke extremely high words of this club, and said he won't leave until the team wins the cup, as he knows we're so close.
I'm still bitter losing the way we did (and three consecutive years in a row), but it's still a pleasant feeling to know that this team still hasn't reached its full potential. Good times ahead!

.someone should tell him his buddy Nonis isn't employed by the Leafs anymore

Haven't even considered what possible upgrades are out there. Maybe a free agent wants to play for a contender at a reasonable value on a short term contract? Our avocados are hand sliced. HAND SLICED.
I feel like we can stick with this group now and hope the experience makes them better for next year. Just need some tweaks. If a team wants to give up an elite defenseman we can make a trade too. Otherwise we wait it out for Lindholm to become that elite defenseman.
Yea no thanks..
He also said a lotttt of teams have Provorov over Hanifin do that wouldn't be crazy.
You can play with me and lamaroo.
I still like long games. I don't care how long they take me. I just go at my own pace. I don't tend to play a huge amount of games anyway. Next games I'm looking forward to are Persona 5 and Yakuza 5.
Well he's also not really a reliable insider; if Bobby Mac or Dregs come out and say that then I'll believe it..
Really don't want to pass on Marner/Hanifin.
I dont know. Why?
At some things yes. Others, no. 3 is my favorite game of all time though.
What if Im an amiibo loving Fallout player?
Nice. All your college players are belong to us.

When it comes down to it, we really don't need to make any major moves. Maybe a tweak here or there, but the group we have now would be playing in the SCF tonight if one of those marathon OT games had gone the other way.
AKA don't Shork yourselves
Could be entirely possible, Barzal was ranked #2 a while ago, not that he deserves to be there now but he could have been a top 5 pick had he not gotten injured.
His production was really intriguing given he has like no one to play with.

Speaking of which: some people were suggesting stripping Getzlaf of the "C" and giving it to Kesler or going Captainless. LOL
Just because he's bald I bet, those bastards.

Exactly. The talent is there... We need to work on closing with it
I'm sure Benning will trade a goalie, it just won't be Miller.

I haven't played an SP game since beating Dragon Age a few months ago. Trying to get into Fire Emblem Awakening though.
I've been spending more time playing MP games with friends.

Other than Madden, my games played over approximately the same time frame is completely barren. Got rid of my old consoles after they collected dust for years and traded in for a Maddenstation 4... and then went and sold that after realizing I'd never play it for much of anything else, sold the 2 Last of Us codes that came with it as well.
The XCOM 2 news is cool, but I just don't get excited for games these days. Just the last thing I should be focusing on. I suppose I am wondering about that Joe Montana football game if it comes to pc or even exists, but other then that just feels like lots of other stuff I'd rather be doing than playing games. I get an itch to play some Civ, but every time I think to load a game, I say nah...
No captain can withstand that much hair loss.
I haven't had much time to play in a while, but Witcher 3 has got its grip on me. After 56 hours in Project Eternity, 30 hours in Witcher 2 I'm now at 88 hours of Witcher 3 and not done yet... Will definitely finish with 100+ hours played

My time for gaming isn't ultra-limited, but it's limited to the point where I get incredibly impatient if I find myself sitting there listening to people talk for too long rather than playing. Which basically means that I play Nintendo and Souls games primarily these days.
I want to play Witcher 3, but I think I'm too bad at those games. I got wrecked in the combat tutorial for Witcher 2 and quit shortly thereafter.

This one isn't as hard as the Witcher 2 and I played on the hardest difficulty in both.

Do I need to read up on the stories of the first two before I jump in?
I found the combat in Witcher 2 to be terrible and horribly explained, and the tutorial level was fucking Bloodborne-level hard for me. Just a really bad first hour for W2, it killed the whole game for me.
It's much better in W3 and I found it fun from the beginning. It's definitely not as frustrating.
*high-five*

I've never played the Witcher 1 and it only had a handful of characters refrenced that I didn't know from 2. I think the game is much more enjoyable knowing what happened in the Witcher 2. Additionally, Witcher 3 has a character glossary that gives character background.

Is this basically Vancouver's Price or Halak Situation?
I hope they don't trade Eddie. Ryan Miller Sucks though.
