What Are You Playing (Winter, 2013-2014)

I tried playing Warframe a few times. I log onto a map and everyone just races to the exit. I must be missing something because it's like the worst thing ever.

A lot of people have done it all a ton and are just grinding out levels for their new gear. I'd recommend playing alone to get used it at first or you'll just be getting left behind wondering what's happening all the time. It was bad when I was fresh into the game because I didn't understand how the map pieces were laid out, and even now that I do I still tend to bring up the rear because I keep using slower frames. I'm guessing you're somewhere in that area.

The defense modes are the closest to the condensed ME3 horde maps with spawning waves of enemies, which might be more up your alley.

Is it mainly the framerate? I heard it has a bunch of bugs and freezing issues, I'll wait for a bit for this to go down and hopefully get a few fixes.

Yes, to all of that.
Shitty framerate, bugs, freezing issues.
Good free beta, horrible $40 end product.

Sounds like a Fable 360 game alright.

World of Tanks is free now on XBL. Downloaded it last night (78 mb lol), then went through like 20 minutes of patch downloading, but once it started it ran flawlessly. MUCH nicer than playing it on my PC. Sunk 4 hours into it last night, it's clicking much better with the controller. We need to have a TNL battalion roll out some night, I think several of you would enjoy this kinda thing.

Is it like Alien Front Online?

Now? Were they charging for it?

I had to look up what that was! No it's slower than that seems to look, less arcade-y. It's straight up tank on tank combat, and the movement is purposefully slow because, well, you're a tank. I believe all the vehicles in game are real tanks, obviously some move faster and upgrades and such help, but you're still driving a tank. The fun part for me is trying to move in undetected and sniper in some debilitating shots before they even know where I am, flanking and positioning are important too. And the matches are usually pretty quick, I think the biggest they get is 15 vs 15. It's good times, and it's free. Give it a shot!

Edit for Mech: You're right, that sentence didn't need a "now". I more meant that it's been planned for a while, and "now" it is out, and it is free.

Ninja Five-O (GBA): Playing through Hard Mode and Time Trials on my DS Lite. The colors look really good on the Lite screen, so much better than my original model GBA SP (which can barely hold a charge now). Thinking about getting a GBA Micro to plow through my GBA backlog, maybe even finishing ~ Drill Dozer ~ finally.

I've got the CE edition of Bravely Default staring at me, but I find the prospect of starting another JRPG daunting right now.

Pretty amazing trio of games in that post. Those are the best ones.

Bravely Default is breezy. Don't be daunted.

Thinking about getting a GBA Micro

I'll never understand the allure.
