I got myself Recettear and it's fun and cute.
Still fooling around Shadowrun Returns
Still playing some SWTOR, cause I've been pretty slow with it and decided I wanted to see ALL the stories now.
Going out seeing friends and stuff.

Honestly, our FC's Skype RP has been as addicting as crack o.o
I haven't needed any other distraction

xD I'm relatively new to the community so I haven't gotten into any Free Companies or Linkshells yet. So we'll see! I kinda wanted to find one ICly instead of just joining one that seems good and making an IC reason for my character to join, you know?

It shoots myself in the foot at the same time, though. I'm in RP withdrawl.

Personally I think its a pretty cool idea! Would be nice to see more FC's/LS's recruit ICly, rather than OOCly world shouts.

In the meantime, you could always start a bunch of Open RP threads here on the RPC! I think there is an RPC RP Skype channel too, but I could be wrong

I'm used to IC guild recruitment because of World of Warcraft. A lot of guides there advertised OOCly, but the recruitment was largely done ICly and usually you would have to do some kind of application on their guide website. It was pretty fun, I used to be a recruiter for my friend's guild and I would spend some days just sitting in a tavern interviewing people like crazy. xD

And.. That is a good idea! Maybe I should start an open RP thread. Hmmm...

sanguineFenrir · **08-02-2013, 02:19 PM**

I'd like to comment on FC's and Skype:

I'm used to seeing IC recruitment as well, though I've seen both. I've joined several Â RP guilds on an OOC first basis, because that was how they operated. (i.e., they were game first, RP later.) But, once I was invited to the guild, the other members would presume to already know my character and things about them (even without me telling them while in character.) It was very mild and never referenced anything specific to my character's backstory, but I always felt off-kilter whenever a guild tried to do that, as I don't play characters that are well-known or overly open. It was very difficult for me to interact with them because of the stylistic difference.

As you can tell by my user info, I already have one LS, which seems like it will be a small group. That's good, and I expect to have more LS's for different purposes. However, I'd really like to find an FC that isn't too large and fits my character, and build up a good foundation with them on IC (and perhaps OOC) levels.

I have seen Skype RP referenced multiple times and I believe Gerik has a thread with the details. A general RP chat does sound like it could be entertaining, but I'm not sure how well I would mesh with the group, particularly an established one.

(I bring Skype up because I'm pining for the game a bit, and tend to laze in front of my computer rather than playing my PS3 as I had intended.)

ive been playing grandia 1 and checking post on hear but its still hard especially when trying to sleep lol

Raccoon · **08-03-2013, 11:35 AM**

Let's see...

Anime is keeping me distracted even though there's not a whole lot that's captivating me this season (Majestic Prince, Free!, A Certain Scientific Railgun, etc).

I've been puttering about on Marvel Heroes since it's f2p and it's got Rocket Raccoon. Honestly, it's about like Minesweeper in my mind. Something to fiddle with between other things or when those other things are getting boring.

I've been half-heartedly puttering around in the Shadowrun Returns editor. Pretty much just seeing what it can do right now rather than actively trying to make anything.

Oh, and still puttering around on Champions Online, though it keeps driving me off to do other things on account of being all stale and uneventful.

Hm... a lot of puttering in hindsight.

Staring at my character on the benchmark... ... ...I think I have a problem.

Is it phase 4 yet?

Chance · **08-05-2013, 09:58 AM**

I just randomly picked FFVII back up and it proving to be a good distraction along with Dissidia 012, Birth by sleep, and Crisis Core. I beat most of them already, but there is nothing like picking up Kain and laying waste. Cool

Zyrusticae · **08-05-2013, 01:11 PM**

I already have far too many distractions as it is, between Phantasy Star Online 2 (goddamn, that game's a timesink), Skullgirls, a whole crapton of other random games, a bunch of anime from this season (I'm following like 7 shows right now), and a whole bunch of internet stuff... it is simply impossible for me to fathom someone who is unable to find ways to keep busy while waiting for phase 4 to start.

Speaking of PSO2, have some character shots:

Set out with a goal to complete the Chains of Promathia expansion from start to finish the other week when I started playing XI.

Today, I've finished that journey. Was even more amazing than I remembered it. Still takes the #1 spot in storyline for me as far as video games are concerned. Hell, almost in general. Unfortunately, far sooner than open beta. Now I gotta find something to occupy me until then. : <

I browse these forums like a mad man. And draw peoples characters for fun, at least when I'm not working.

Adolar · **08-12-2013, 10:58 PM**

I've been trying to get through my list of Steam games. Playing through Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Sleeping Dogs at the moment.
