Been playing various bits and pieces in the odd moments when I get some time. I did play all the way through Antichamber which I enjoy and have now made the mistake of downloading Plants v Zombies 2 onto my tablet...

I don't know if Killer meant OpenTT or OpenTTD, but for the latter you can actually still use the original graphics if you have the DOS files somewhere. You get this option when you install OpenTTD.

Actually, I was under the impression that these were the original graphics...

These are the original graphics. I like 'em.

Very toy-like.

I've started playing Crusader Kings 2 again. It's exactly the comedy value of this game what I was missing in EU4. I'm close to creating the empire of Scandinavia, let's see if I can make islamic Iberia the anvil on which christian Europe is smashed by the nordic hammer (I predict complete and utter failure on my part).

Well, it didn't take more than a few weeks to set aside CK2 for a while. The latest big DLC introduced something called "event troops", which basically means that under certain conditions you (or the AI) receives a shitload of troops. In my current game, where I became emperor of Scandinavia as the first Ynling ever to make something of his life, I got embroiled in a war in England. England mostly norse, but the new Irish king doesn't like norse. Apparently that was good enough for him to receive a stack of 8k, which wouldn't have been much of a problem if Paradox hadn't decided to nerf liege levies in the same patch. Bottom line: levies are dead, event troops are the new hotness. Basically this means that continuing this save is a bit pointless. It's not the first time Paradox pulls something like this off, so I should probably play faster. Or start new games more often.

Similarly I'm dreading to continue my EU4 save, although I was looking forward to the new Conquest of Paradise DLC. It's the first major DLC for EU4, and it looks awesome. But I don't feel like paying 15 bucks for a game I've played so little so far, considering that I don't have much time playing a lot in the near future anyway. I'll wait for the inevitable spring sale. Mental note: must play EU4 more.

I've been playing Company of Heroes 2 quite a lot recently. It's better than it was in beta, but there's not much that distinguishes it from CoH1. Russians are nice though.

Oh, and TF2. Did I mention TF2?
