Borderlands, of all games, kept your interest where everything else failed?
Oh, if my account revives (and when it does) next time the game is on sale, I'm so getting it.
Sorry, just came to mind.
Regarding my gaming as of late, I've been jumping from one thing to another, judging on what time I have to commit with.
For example, Roller Coaster Tycoon takes a decent chunk of time, regarding 3 year missions and all, I'll need a good 1/4 of my day to reserve. Regarding New Wavehandle on DF, that can take me up to a day to get a year done; and any free time I have could be spent playing some Stranded (got a mod to make things more interesting/challenging). Replaying the original adventure mode again with the mega mod makes things far more of a challenge. It took some time, but wasn't too hard overall, but Alice was beaten a few weeks ago. And working on Iji right now. Might find more 3rd party games to play with as well.
And with whatever leftover time I have, I try to find stuff to keep me busy. Sometimes tinkering with Photoshop, other times screwing with Excel for some inane purpose (another calculator tends to get produced for some reason), or coming up with some crazy-ass piece of engineering, either DF-wise or making an old art-work work. I gotta pick up a 3d design program again to translate some old ideas into 3d. I already have a badass (though seemingly impractical at first glance) one in mind, especially considering it's also modularly built (meaning easy and uber-customizable).
