Nox was free on Origin, so I figured I should check it out. So far I've completed the Warrior and Conjurer playthrough, now I'm on the last playthrough (Wizard). At the moment, my character is wandering under a place called Fields of Valor to find signs of the main antagonist (Hecuba) being there. I'd say the amount of zombies, ghosts, bats, skeletons, uberskeletons and necromancers there qualifies as signs, but what do I know?  It's a game that shows its age, but still quite fun. 
I have this as well. About how long does a PT take?

BF1. Did slightly better on foot. Shot an officer off his horse as he rode by, went into a mix shoot plus melee with the enemy soldier, won a shoot out and then was gunned down by his pal.  Still don't like to be FS though. Oh yeah, I crashed the first plane I took out because the axis was inverted. I never bothered to try again. 50/50 I get pilots who crashed themselves into the ground.  People get angry though. Was in a tank when it went up. Turned out one of the gunners on the other side failed to take down an enemy who proceeded to plant a tank killer. The chat was filled with the rant of a couple of other angry players who were in the tank, lambasting the player who failed to keep a proper look out. Seriously, there're many new players coming in since this is open beta, they should cut them some slack.  I'm one but because I watched Alpha play on Twitch, I know some of the game features. |

Found a golden fish, tamed a fake unicorn and removed a bickering urn from a crypt. I don't even know what I'm doing with my life anymore... did you find the bunny ears as well? |

Getting further in Dark Souls 3, I managed to defeat 2 more bosses yesterday and I didn't die once to either. My favorite boss though so far is probably the Abyss Watchers boss. Epic music, and just a fun and somewhat challenging fight all around.

Bunny wasn't in good shape. Also managed a lovely parkour chase/dance. Got a letter from a redhead sending me to a cemetery, then got interrupted by another person sending me to a cemetery. |

BF1 again. Three kills in a row. That was a lucky event. I thought the fence at the bottom of a cliff made a good hidey spot near the flag. Sure enough, I got the message the flag was being changed but I saw nobody. I just stay hidden and waited. Along came a team mate. Up popped an enemy directly opposite me as they exchanged fire. I took him out. Team mate also went down. Enemy had two other pals with him and they came for me. I think they weren't sure where I was because if they had charged at me in two different directions, I would be a goner. Instead, one came right along the railing. I took him down. Along came the third, the same way. He tried to go for a bayonet charge + melee but I had enough bullets to zip him up too. But I died more often than popping the enemy. |

Not overly long. I'd say about 15 hours, tops, and only because it involves a lot of wandering to find as many secret areas as possible; otherwise, it's even shorter. There are 10 chapters in each playthrough, but the first ones are done pretty quickly, especially in the Warrior playthrough (easiest). |

BF1. Ran down an enemy who didn't see me roaring down at him in a light tank. How's the beta shaping up? I'll hopefully try to get on it sometime today. Gameplay runs smoothly for me. I did get bounce from lag but this doesn't happen often. I also don't seem to be getting the glitches I see some complain about. I was watching a BF1 stream much earlier and there were some. * The arms of the toon failed to spawn so the player didn't have the ability to hold any weapons. He had none. He played the match without them; hopping into tanks and planes. Some were also saying a server was hacked and all the players were armless. * Players taking the horse from depot and abandoning it later had triple boons; ammo and armor. Melee from horse is a one swipe kill, even a glitch kill from a distance. * The streamer commented Alpha was more stable but I have no idea since Alpha was a closed test run for those who signed up for it. Some compared it to BF4 but I never played from since BF1, I have no idea how true that is. Possibly. I had some fun fooling around. Other than that road kill, I ran a heavy tank onto an enemy heavy. This happened when I was at one of the depots. I had just respawned, alone, and hopped into the HT when up came enemy troops. Some of them grabbed hold of the other empty HT. Knowing what was about to happen, I deliberately drove right up onto the other HT and stayed there as long as I could as they tried to shake me off. Why not shoot? Because I couldn't switch over to heavy cannon for some reason (I'm not sure whether this has something to do with armor ranking because I just racked a armor rating in that match. The first one.) so I opted to waste their time because the clock was ticking against them; my team was winning. |

And if other's are comparing it to BF4 I might enjoy it a lot more. Anyway I will be playing at some point today if yourself or anyone is Xbone based. GT: hectic gecko |

Thanks! Sounds like a good short-term diversion then. I installed it yesterday so might give it a go over the long weekend.

Played Civ V again. But I continued a different game than the last I told about. In this, I figured I just had to boredom away until a victory. I tried to play world police and keep the world stable, despite a notoriously troublesome Sweden and a completely vicious, murderous and insane Germany. At one time, everybody (yes everybody but me) declared war on Germany and tried to convince me I should also join. Unfortunately I didn't. Fool me. Their efforts trickled out, one by one, while Germany continued to work on Babylon. Fool me tried to physically block Germany from conquering an important Babylonian city. I succeeded, ...I thought. Then I noticed that Germany, elsewhere, had conquered a City State with Uranium. ...So now the AI bastard has nukes!

More Battlefield 1 Beta.
I'm merely an okay player, but today I "dueled" a full enemy squad at medium distance and took them all out with a Gewehr 95 Marksman rifle with iron sights only. Of course, the rest of the round didn't go nearly as well...
Very fun and promising, but also in need of some polishing.

^ Either she has a lot of skill clamping things with her legs or that vid is worked over. Uninstalled BG1 beta. I've seen and played enough. Went back to GW2. Did one of several pre-events for a major fight. There was only me and one other so we proceeded very cautiously. Having no idea if he's a noob, I took the precaution of warning him not to shoot at wreckage lit up by a wyvern flying to and fro at one point because numerous tiny raptors and rolling devils appear and the fire is transferred to the players who shoot them. The rolling devils are really annoying. They're scaly lizard-like armadillos that rolled into balls and come at you, changing directions even as you dodge. So are the mushrooms that run at you, fall over with kicking legs and spill poison. We picked up a few more people along the way and finally reached the last bit; beat down the wyvern. At one point, the others went down. There was no CC to prevent the wyvern from taking off and we couldn't make predictions as to where he will direct his fire once he took flight. There was only the original player who started with me. I made a mistake and got whomped by wyvern fire. The other players were making funny moaning comments. They didn't go for respawn because the point was quite a distance away so they were "lying" there watching the action. In the mean time, I suggested to the other player to dance around while I go for self-revive. A fresh player arrived which helped alot in distracting the wvyern. I got myself up and revived the rest, just in time to kick the wyvern's ass. |

Civ V again. I finally took up the responsibility and went to war with Germany. Liberated the City state and my "own" Munich. (Yes, it's kinda mine since I've stupidly gifted it back to Germany three times, won't happen again, was never appreciated).
Then we made peace. Germany has never been so friendly and in such a good mood before - I'll never understand the AI and diplomacy in this game. A suspicion is that I got the "Major Liberator" reputation and that causes a positive reaction? Even if I liberated stuff from Germany? Crazy, no use in trying to figure it.
Germany then immediately sent a stream of units across the ocean to pester people on a different continent, so is at war again with two civs. <shakes head in disbelief>. Anyway, it's finished. I'll win a culture win in a few rounds.
