    Oh shit, The Witcher trilogy is on sale on Steam. ~26 for all 3 games (excluding the season pass for W3).

    I...guess the rest of the year is booked for me >_> (I do have a gig coming up in 2 weeks, but after that, nothing :)

    You're in for a real treat. The first one is pretty dated (it actually runs on Neverwinter Night's Aurora Engine, which is clearly showing its age) technically-speaking but it oozes an incredible atmosphere.

    The second one I haven't enjoyed as much, it felt really clunky and railroaded (and I hate QTEs with a burning passion). I also felt that it lost quite a lot of

    the gritty atmosphere compared to the first episode and tried too much to delve into a Game of Thrones-esque narrative, plots within plots within plots and all that, but that's just taste.

    The combat fucking sucks though and that's a fact (especially if you enjoy Dark Souls-esque combat, which I "unfortunately" do)

     

    Blaze through it on easy mode just for the story, dive right into the 3rd one on "Deathmarch" difficulty, and never look back.

     

    The third one...Ahh. This is the real deal. I'm clocking 80-ish hours on it and I only started the first add-on (and I skipped tons of stuff in the vanilla game). Great story-telling, characters, music (Skellige has forever replaced Skyrim in my heart), vistas. Plus, you get to play Gwent and it rules!

    Combat is less clunky than TW2 and "feels" better, but it still could be perfected.

     

    All in all, for 26 bucks, you simply cannot go wrong. Say goodbye to any other games you might have planned on playing this year :)

    Basically my thoughts concerning Skyrim :lol:

    Especially modding it wrecks your sanity. I have it uninstalled for now, but somewhere in the back of my head it still keeps tempting me to come back.

    You shouldn't do that, especially when it's heavily-modded. Think about the nightmare that will be the (inevitable) complete re-installation/re-stabilization process :P

    How old were you when you started listening to goa/psytrance?

    Around 1999 here, I think. I was 15 or so. My cousin was at my place for the holidays, and brought some good ole' CD-Rs with tons of mp3s from lots of different genres. I randomly selected a track, turns out it was "Aurora Borealis" by Astral Projection. First time I ever listened to what was called "Goa". It completely blew me away.

    Next in line was "Acid Air Raid", from Solar Quest, and the proverbial diner was served.
