Played a few training missions in Elite Dangerous last night... wow is that hard to play with a controller. It was either that or the ship I was using was very slow, training mission so understandable. It feels awesome and the game looks amazing even on my slightly outdated gaming PC. I can see where playing this with a Rift or other VR would be phenomenal.
I'm really not a fan of the training missions, and most of the missions you find on the in-game mission board aren't worth doing. The Sidewinder you start out in is the most maneuverable ship in the game, and worst in every other aspect.
I'm travisdh1 in-game if you want to friend me, I'll try to give you a hand starting out. Only worked my way up to a Viper so far, which is just plain mean. It's only got 2 guns, but they're both Large hardpoints. Damage has a bit of a different model than many other games I've played. If you're attacking a larger vessel with small/medium weapons, the weapons don't do as much damage. So the Viper is the small ship with big guns that take down the bigger ships quickly, which means making much better bounties while hunting criminals (my favored way to make money.)

I'll add you in game. I'm playing the training missions to get a hang of the controller, it is going to take a long time before I actually pilot proficiently with it unfortunately.

Oh, I forgot the biggest starting detail of all! Those training missions give you fixed weapons. You rarely hit anything with those initially. Get in game and do a cargo run so you can pickup a gimbaled weapon or two! You'll actually hit things when you shoot at them (unless you're a LOT more patient with getting used to the controls than I was.)

Good to know, I was wondering why I had to be withing a few hundred meters to hit anything.

Playing Face Noir with @Dominica
-
Just beat Hexcells Infinite
-
Playing Perils of Man, now. So far, it looks pretty interesting.
-
I just wrapped up Jade Empire last night. That was a fun game! Potentially better played with a controller of some sort, but it wasn't bad on the keyboard either.
The story was excellent. I beat it in ~40 hours playing time, I think it was.
-
Played several hours of Borderlands 2 with some friends last night. Going through some of the DLC that I never got a chance to play when I did my initial play through. As usual I am playing the healer/support specced Siren which is my preference.
-
I played Duck Game on Friday. It's a hilarious competitive platformer in the style of Towerfall, but with ducks. Plus you can play online instead of just local multiplayer. I highly recommend it (and it made TotalBiscuit's #2 game of the year).
-
Dominica and the kids are playing Dance of Death which I bought yesterday for $1.99 on this weeks Steam Sale.
-
I've been busy the last few days. Started playing the very casual Lost Civilization the other day. Have only gotten twenty minutes, tops, to put into it thus far, though.
-
I'm doing one game of Hexcells Infinite every day, they have a daily game built in (seed based on the current date) which is pretty cool. So I am trying to keep up with that (and earn, for no reason, the Steam badge for doing 60 post-completion Infinite games.)
-
About 1/3rd of the way through Square Cells.
-
Finally have gotten around to playing Wadjet Eye's The Blackwell Legacy from 2006. This series is supposed to be really good and I've just never made time to actually play it.
-
Wife and kids are playing The Lego Movie co-op.
-
It has been a morning of Minecraft, Minecraft PE and Goat Simulator. We now have GS on both the Steam laptop as well as on the Fire TV because the kids play it so much. They have now gotten into two player GS via Steam. They are loving it. Attempting to download a bunch of new maps today.
-
Played a bit of Minecraft FTB Evolved last night so far a good mod pack.
