Not yet. Only just found out and think it's only just been announced. Already looking forward to it

Sounds a great idea, though I know nothing about Warhammer these days.

Who would you like on it? Always liked Chaos myself
 
More important question is whether its going to be relatively bug free 2 years after release, or faster.
 
Recently replayed Fallout New Vegas with some mods to improve graphics and game play. Not sure what to play next may try out Alice Madness Returns I picked up in the Steam Winter sale
 
Grim Fandango Remastered coming out this January. Hyped as ****. Best game I ever played.
 
Moved onto "The Wither 2" in preparation for "The Witcher 3" in February. Owned the game for over a year but my single HD 7850 couldn't run it very well (about 30-40 FPS)
I recently got another HD 7850 and over clocked them both and Crossfired them, getting better performance than the HD 7970 in games with good Crossfire support.
Can run "The Witcher 2" at ultra settings 1080p at 60FPS, as long as I disable uber sampling.

Looking forward to "GTAV" on PC too, hopefully rock star don't screw the port up like last time and its well optimised and has multi GPU support, if so it will be great.

Imagine every possible thing GW could do to run their IP into the ground. They did it. Metal figures were replaced with inferior resin ones and the prices raised, everything is now prohibitively expensive (army books now cost up to thirty ******* quid!) and the rules have generally been streamlined/mutilated to a horrible extent.

Essentially they stopped pandering to little Timmy who comes in 3 or 4 times with his parents and has them ***** a few hundred quid on models then gives up, and made their entire business model based around him. They take you for as much money as possible at every turn, because they're petrified that you won't ever come back. Of course, this is stopping new people getting into the hobby as well as completely turning off veterans. For me the line was a number of years ago when I was informed that using an army I built from my old scratch sculpts was no longer acceptable because it contained very few GW models. 3 stores in Central/West London refused to let me play with my ******* hand sculpted minis so I did some fancy NMM effects on the flashiest **** then sold the lot on eBay.

I still check in now and again but honestly the game is an absolute mess. At this point, hoping that GW dies and someone less **** gets their IP is really the only hope for WH, unless GW make a complete 180. The TW guys generally know what they're doing though (let's not speak about RTW2) so hopefully this will be the Fantasy WH game that the PC has been crying out for.
 
Star Wars The Old Republic. Already addicted to it. Seems much better compared to when I played it last year. So much fun being Sith Inquisitor. Force lightning, slicing and dicing with the lightsaber, electrocuting enemies...so much fun. And you get the title of Darth when you ding 50. What more could you want?! #nerdvana
 
Sid Meier's Starship announced. 4x turn based strategy with tactical combat. Supposedly the man himself is the lead designer, rather then just name on the box.

FM now. But since here are all football fans, another football game recommend: Football Planet (iOS). Small game, kind of like FM. If your PC is not with you, this game may be a good substitution lol.
 
Currently playing Lisa the RPG what bag of awesomeness this game is go buy it it's like 5-6 quid totally worth it.

Woah that sounds ridiculous! Even years ago it was very expensive for what it was, can't imagine it costing more now for something that is worse!

Do they not make metal figures at all now?
 
Yeah TW: Warhammer is a terrible idea because I might never stop playing it. Mike will probably die of starvation four days in after forgetting to eat.

Recently I've been playing a lot of Rome 2. Came back to it after a hiatus for bug fixing, and it is much improved. Not to mention I downloaded some mods and stuck the old Rome TW music in, which improves the game immensely. Also, Mirror's Edge. God I ******* adore that game.

Looking through a few pieces to upgrade the old warhorse with. Don't buy Nvidia, kids!
