Should I come back?

Bored of every game I have right now.

D3 = boring.

SC2 = ok, but boring if I play too much.

Civ V = impossible to get a decent multiplayer game going. Half the people quit when they get beaten to whatever wonder they were rushing, or I take one of their cities 45 turns into the game.

I was gonna try EQMac (just cuz there's some more content there, I feel like I've done classic and Kunark to death the last three years), but it seems like more of a pita than it's worth (I'm guessing the "pc hack" is dead after the Sleeper drama, and I'm too lazy to fuck w/ hackintosh, and too frugal to buy a shitty mac just play a game).

What's going on here? Anything exciting? Blue that is, red was boring as fuck with the <100 pop and half of it being Nihilum and all.

get dark souls PTD and give you some more distance.

I heard great things about Dark Souls console but all the reviews I read for PC are meh. Speaking of console, Madden, what a terrible game.

I might be down to play you in a non-lame Civ 5 game. Im fairly new to the game though.

It really has potential, just requires a game full of people who are willing to sit down and play for potentially hours (as if anyone does that around here...) and not quit at the slightest bad turn. I'm fairly new myself, I have the early game down pretty well, but since it's rare to get past that I tend to fall apart on the rare occasion I get deep into a game.

If you like Diablo kinds of games, give Path of Exile (pathofexile.com) a shot. Free, so not much commitment needed and it's pretty good tbh. You might get a kick out of Tales of Maj'Eyal(te4.org) for a bit, too. Not so much an ARPG, but it's a nice roguelike that comes with a tileset and a multiple lives option. Pretty intuitive controls unlike a lot of other games from that genre. There's also Planetside 2(can get it on Steam) in case you like FPS games. I'm pretty much out of ideas for free games. In terms of games you actually buy, get Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It's pretty awesome and a good way to kill an hour or two when you get bored.

Fuck that, download motionjoy.
Use the superior PS3 controller.

It does take a little bit of fucking around to get right. But man is it awesome.
