Still playing World of Tanks and Dominions 3, and now also the RP-game UnReal World (which went free to play now that it has been constantly updated for over 20 years; I used to play it back in 2000 or 2001, but had totally forgotten about this little gem over the years, damn great to see it is *still* recieving updates regularily :)).

When was the last graphics update again???

'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Last graphics update? Dunno. At least they are not using EGA graphics anymore; the game was updated to 800x600 VGA true-colours several years ago ;)  But you don't play the game for the gfx, but for the incredible depht of the game. It is not an easy game, the UI is archaic, and the less said about the gfx the better.

Everything in the game can be used for something, and most likely to stuff you didn't even think of first (like for example, I encountered a sleeping hunter, sneaked close by and stabbed him in the back until I was sure he wouldn't move anymore; he had some nice gear, but his shirt and cloak sadly were ripped (some bastard apparently had stabbed him with a knife in the back...) so I stripped the shirt to cords, those cords I used to build myself a bow and a couple arrows and did repair the cloak). Freedom like seen in very few games (in the league of EVE and DayZ regarding freedom to do what ever you want)  and the area is big enough that it would take *very* long time to explore it all. You can choose yourself if you want to be a hunter, a trapper, a fisherman, a cannibal, a farmer, a robber or any possible combo from those. The main thing is that you need to stock up food and you need shelter because winter is coming (if you don't have some sort of cabin with a fire-place (and lots of firewood stocked up) when the temperature hits -30 degrees, well, you can kiss your butt goodbye).

Playing a Romulan in Star Trek Online. Pretty good so far. I'm looking forward to getting myself a D'Deridex warbird.

I tried creating another Klingon character. They start at level 1 now. They've made it possible to select from several different HUDs, but they've also changed the default Klingon HUD from red to orange, which I find doesn't subliminally stoke me into a ludicrous rage. So now I can play a Klingon Empire character too.

I still have my toon on STO somewhere. Are the Klingons or Romulans available to all player, or do they require some DLC to be bought? Alternatively, can Federation players do stuff together with Klingons/Romulans now?

The three playable factions are available for all f2p players.

You can join the endgame Borg STFs with players of other factions, but levelling is faction-only. As for the fleet actions you can go into while levelling, I've never seen Klingons in Federation ones so I assume those are faction specific.

My Romulan has joined the Federation, so I can join Federation fleet actions. You can join the Klingon Empire instead if you choose.

Picked it up for a tenner but had a CTD earlier. Hoping the little steam fix that forces it to use 1 processor works. Any tips on good guides for SC4? So far I've understood that taking it slow helps, managing the budget tightly.

Finally got round to playing Batman Arkham City on the XBox. Flipping awesome game.

Also ordered some of the new Batman Miniatures from Knight Models based on the game, so will be painting those up when they arrive and trying to get a few games in.
