— Gang of Gaming Morons! Afternoon my friends, Zakn here leading up the Team.
I work Nights Sunday-Thursday, so today Is Memorial Day for me. Most people are celebratory. I'm not. I tend to lay in bed and be a morose mfer.
Take a moment of your day off and realize that it was because some Mothers Son died fighting in a random shithole so your dumb ass could BBQ. I'd rant, but 'm a Gaming Moron.
(edit...I think this published too early. Putting it back up... Zakn)
Been playing a ton of Mario Tennis Open on my 3ds...I'm deliberately avoiding a finishing push on Mario Land 3d. It's been my experience that I'll be suddenly good at a level since my sub-conscience has solved the problem the game is posing to me. But you deal with the Mario you know. Here's a quick look from Giant Bomb
I finished the first 4 tourneys, but now it's stupid hard. I like that I can can jump into a match play a bit, and then i'm done. I don't like the way you have to hold the damn thing, so I hope they patch it. My buddy at work got a 3DS for his kid, and he's been bringing it to work. We've been having fun doing Mario Tennis and Mario Kart 7. I really like what the 3DS does with local multi-player.
Diablo Stuff....I have not played enough of it as the horde prolly has, but it's pretty good. I'm not happy with the Monk nerf, but nerfs are nerfs... Post about it.
Civilization 5 is onsale this weekend on Steam. Check it out. I don't know about the feasibility of doing a Moron game, but I think it could be fun.
Also, what about a game of Diplomacy? Let me know what ya'll think. If we get enough people interested, I'll set a game up. Or you can!
Have a Wonderful Memorial Day. *tips hat and thinks of the lost.
SilverGTP here, hoping you are having a great weekend. Be sure to do something to honor our fallen soldiers because our lousy president isn't doing squat.
First up is the news that Valve is collaborating with the makers of PAYDAY: The Heist on a new co-op game. There's no official word on what form such a game will take, but expect robbing banks while being chased by hordes of zombies.
Looking for a Memorial Day fix of war games? Look no further, check these out:
Empire: Total War
* bonus - with the new Warpath Campaign, you can play as Elizabeth Warren and her family as they defend their Pow Wow Chow from the evil paleface!
38 Studios Cuts Entire Staff after spending $50 million of taxpayer money from a Rhode Island state loan. It seems that government is no good at investmenting money. Who knew?
The all-knowing and oh-so-trustworthy folks at CNN say video games and porn are ruining men. They just don't want us to have any fun. Take away my video games and porn, and I will go full-on Hulk, smashing everything I see.
Don't forget to get your free Mass Effect DLC on May 29. This does not include the alternate endings but it should keep you busy until that DLC is released later this summer.
Finally, here's a trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, due later this year:
As always, find me on Twitter.

Au contrere, mon frere. Here at AoSHQ, Memorial Day Weekend is the three-day funeral dirge. And if you bitch about it, someone will call you "classless."

Lol, I've done the same thing but with DDO. In fact it's WoW that I moved to after not playing DDO for a month or so. Oddly, I kind of *like* the fishing and cooking aspects of the game. Reminds me of Runescape and gives a bit of a breather between bouts of slaughter.

I also got Portal 2 but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
What I would like is to get a multi-player game of Hearts of Iron 3 or Crusader Kings 2 going.

It's on Hellscream and is an Alliance guild. DrawAndStrike was ablr to find out that much but, like I said, no one seems to be on. Ever. Should we start a new one?

I had SWTOR for a bit, but all my friends quit playing. Currently doing D3.
Does anyone know if starter edition WoWs can join guilds? Would be interested in joining the AoSHQ guild just to listen in and chat.

I'm starter edition but haven't tried to join a guild since I knew I wanted the Moron guild. I'll be going to a pay account though once I get my new credit card since this one's about to expire and I don't want *yet another* company I have to change info with.

BF3 double XP for PC (only) players. Yesterday and today, until mid-night Pacific, I think. BF3 now reduced to < 30 bucks. Should be thousands of new players soon with that pricing. Meat!!!
I have not read any really good reviews about D3. Mostly the tone has been, ho-hum, but I could be filtering based upon taste. WSAD to you all!

----------
One of my personal annoyances with D3 is that it doesn't use the WSAD keys to move, only the mouse. Of course, you also use the mouse to attack things. So I keep winding up in situations where I think I'm telling the game to attack something and the game thinks I'm telling it to go stand right next to the thing I want to attack.

But Anachondra is right about the movement. Its a pain sometimes, that's always been a weakness of Diablo. If you hold the Shift key down when you attack you'll stay put though.
