Once again, I’m trying to play too many games and I can’t keep up with them all. Every night the big question is “What games am I going to play today?” I know, it’s a tough life.
Today, the answer was Culdcept Saga. I played the demo in December and was fascinated by this bizarre fantasy board game/collectible card game hybrid. I picked the game up yesterday and so far I’m hooked. My only complaint is that matches take so very long. If you lose, you might have just wasted over an hour playing a game that you’ll have to fight all over again. Well, I assume you have to replay it if you lose. I’m haven’t lost one yet since I figure that would be a bad idea.
In addition to that time suckage, I started Rogue Galaxy last week, a really cool PS2 RPG that I’d been wanting to try for a while now. Combat is real time, which is not something I really like in my RPGs, but the other mechanics are cool enough that I’m enjoying it anyways.
On top of that, I’m still playing World of Warcraft. Sunday nights are still the time for the Crazy Cattle to get together and run 5 man instances. Yesterday we actually ran the final two 5-man dungeons in the game that we hadn’t visited yet. We hit up The Black Morass and The Arcatraz. I feel as much of a sense of completion as I’m ever going to feel with this endless game, I suppose. You’re never really done, so finishing up a certain chunk of content is pretty darn good.
And lastly, I’m still leveling up another WoW alt with my LucasArts co-workers. I’m just about to hit level 53 with my shaman Myrendra. It’s looking like I’m actually going to get all the way to 70 with her, which is sort of a surprise to me. I thought we’d have lost interest long before now. But leveling is just so quick, and we have such solid group attendance that it’s been going well.
Too much to play! I have GDC coming up this week and a vacation next week which will keep me from playing any of these games for a while. Time to get more Nintendo DS time in, I guess!

“Yesterday we actually ran the final two 5-man dungeons in the game that we hadn’t visited yet.”
Until the next patch, when we will have to grind rep to open the 5 man on the sunwell plateau…
Rep grinding? Say it ain’t so! Or at least that you’ll do it for me.
I don’t know the details. It could be that everyone needs the “key” or something, like the heroics. They also mentioned that sections of the dungeons were available right away, and other sections would have to be unlocked. Also they mentioned that it was a world event like the AQ opening. Someone who is playing on the PTRs could tell you for sure.
