Though I still consider myself to be on the Guild Wars 2 bandwagon, I'm not still playing it a ton aside from running a few explorable mode dungeons a day for tokens for gear and leveling random (literally, I've taken to dice rolls to pick which to play on a given day) characters to power through the (what would now be referred to specifically as the PvE) daily achievements. Actually, I've taken to listening to girlwriteswhat's videos (the MRM is an interesting subject) to extend the life of each play session before I get tired of clearing the same maps over and over.
Aside from that I've been bouncing between an assortment of games including Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2 (shout out to my old FFXI buddy Margulis, who hooked me up with a spare copy), Orcs Must Die 2, AI War: Fleet Command, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and Dota 2. Been killing a lot of time watching through the 2012 Dota 2 International (actually, I wrote a huge post on my Facebook that I oughtta copy over to here at some point about how fucking awesome one of the matches was).
Alice and I made very quick work of Torchlight 2 and then quickly lost interest in it. We've been kinda floundering trying to find some other game to co-op in now that SMNC is basically dead. Payday has gotten some interesting updates recently, but unfortunately the game has mostly run its course with me already. Been trying to get him to give OMD2, AI War, or GW2 a try but no dice so far. Actually, I just came across Natural Selection 2, thinking of getting it, wonder if alice might find it interesting.
I'm all caught up with A Song of Ice and Fire now. I started reading through some books from my younger days to see if they've stood the test of time, chiefly books by Robert A. Heinlein. I found Citizen of the Galaxy to be pretty pleasant, but found that I didn't really like Stranger in a Strange Land. I did, however, seriously enjoy Starship Troopers and it has deeply informed some of my thoughts on the structure of society in general (made a big, interesting Facebook note about that too). Lately I started watching through Death Note again to kill time.
I started taking tri-weekly half hour walks about 3 weeks ago. Figured it was time to at least make a token effort towards a more healthy lifestyle. I'm able to gauge a little progress so far, so it's really encouraging.
