Rome 2 is probably my favorite of the historical series. Caesar in Gaul, Hannibal at the Gates, and Rise of the Republic are some great DLC campaign packs. If you want a challenge then I recommend Total War: Attila. You're in survival mode for the entire campaign.  

Er, I'll pass on that one.

I am playing Diablo 4 and it is fantastic. 

You ever play Path of the Exile? Similar mechanics to Diablo I believe. Had some coworkers talking it up a lot especially with the 2nd one's announcements tonight. It looks huge though, like dauntingly huge.

My wife and I are sucked into it right now. Made a barbarian before the season 1 pass came out and it got nerfed so now I'm playing as a Necromancer and steamrolling.

We need to play asap. 

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Bought Dave the Diver yesterday and I'm having a blast with it. Nice relaxing game with cool characters and fun SCUBA references. Highly recommend for someone wanting a break from intellectually or physically/skill straining games.

Yeah, scuba has been thoroughly scarred in my book. Not because of video games, but from real life stories of people scuba diving into caves, and never coming out.

Mr. Ballin, a youtube channel, tells great, real stories. But a lot of them can easily become nightmare fuel.

Ah man. Any activity has risks and horror stories around it. You shouldn't let other's experiences dictate your feeling on it. It's one of the most liberating relaxing things I've ever done. Being immersed in another world like that is amazing.

Cave diving is very dangerous though and I won't do that. However, reef diving, even if it's in the shallows, is so awesome.

When I went to Hawaii for choir in 2005 (my how times have changed in only that long), we were scheduled one day to go out snorkeling around a tour boat. Crystal clear water, beautiful scenery, fish of all shapes, sizes, and colors, and I did enjoy that little bit. But that's as far as I'll ever go with that kind of thing. And probably physically at that (I've literally had too many surgeries since then, and looking at more).

That makes sense. You definitely have to be in a certain physical condition to dive due to intense pressure changes in the body.

My girlfriend found a video yesterday of a diver in Egypt who video taped himself dying as he uncontrollably descended to 300+ feet and couldn't fight the pressure to get back up. That's so terrifying for me, being sucked to the bodttom of the sea where you die in pitch blackness...

Heh, that's what I told her! I get anxiety diving in open water as it is with no reference point and just infinite blue in all directions around you. I need a reef or ship in view as I decend to control that initial vertigo.

Yeah. I know of that one well. As well as a water hole in Texas that has claimed numerous lives too. Mr. Ballin really does do his homework. I believe he may even have done that story you mentioned.

For anyone that cares, The new Baldurs gate is a masterpiece

I've only heard good things about it. And those that are really into D&D, its amazing.

I did come across a youtube clip of one person getting more than refused by every member of the party during that one stage. Brutal, but hilarious.
