You can run into yourself as an Archangel (or an Andalite, now) and blow things up with magic rings and plasma grenades!
Though not, regrettably, at the same time. :-/

I'm currently playing Destiny on my PS3, and I love it, but I have a hankering for new games. Unfortunately, I only have access to said PS3, a so-so PC, and a Wii-- and I don't play games over T. Also, no more RPGs, please. I have a life. I like my life. It's a good life. So, any recs?

It's called 'The Dungeon of the Board.'
It generates a mystical magical adventure for you from text.
Some bloke called 'Huinesoron' made it.
Whoever that is.
I really should give it a go. It looked quite fun.
Oh, also, I keep meaning to say: dude, you're hilarious. Sometimes I look through the Board for your responses and just read those.
-Alleb
Cor, blimey.
Thanks.
That means a lot more to me than it probably should.
You already had me laughing in your introductory thread, honestly. Especially your manliness jokes with Des. They're still making me giggle. ^_^
Nah, I feel the same way when people tell me I'm funny. I'm nowhere near as witty as you, though. Occasionally I say stuff like "insurance policy" and "defined benefit plan" and it basically cancels out anything humorous I've said that day.
-Alleb
Don't go selling yourself short. After a bit of espionage, subterfuge, and maybe some kidnapping, I managed to find your first mission.
It is wonderfully sarcastic.
Mm, yeah, I haven't gone through the necessary Wiki shenanigans to make it easily accessible. At the time, I was new enough on the Wiki that it didn't let me edit certain pages. I should really get that done; then you won't have to go through quite so much to find it. ^_^ Say, what'd you do with the prisoners? I need someone to hold my yarn for me while I knit.

Suh-weeeet! Am I the only Archangel/Andalite in there (one would assume because my name begins with A) or are those just two random examples?
Oh, also, I installed family safety on my computer and it's flagging your site. C*l*br**n mission, I'm guessing. I won't run into anything flag-worthy during the game, right?
-Alleb
There's even still a thread about it. Come down and play! It's fun, I promise (and probably don't even have my fingers crossed behind my back)!
hS
Thanks! I'll check them out!
-Alleb
Translation: Oh yes. I play as Shulk, usually; I'm trying to branch out a little. Es a very good game.
-Alleb
I keep meaning to get it-- I like the fact that it's on PS3. I think I'll buy it. Thanks!
-Alleb
I'd love to see what you think!
Undertale has also been recommended, and I think I'll play through it. I keep seeing stuff about it and having no idea what's going on.
Ooh, Primal Carnage sounds pretty interesting. I've been growing into FPS's recently. I might give it a go. Thanks!
-Alleb
Me gusta! Y'know, I've been meaning to get into League of Legends, even just to watch the professional matches. It sounds fun. And I've heard quite a bit about Team Fortress 2. Thanks!
-Alleb
Or... semi-free games... I also recommend Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, a card game.
I'd like to counter League of Legends with Smite - the same genre (MMO), similar concepts, but the main difference is that it's a third-person perspective, which makes the experience more dynamic and action packed.
As for TF2, there is a similar game coming out called Overwatch.
Overwatch, as well. Man, I need to write all of these down. ^_^
-Alleb
I offer myself as a coach :D
P.S. Check your mailbox :P
So let's begin with... er, between things already posted and your ban on RPG, it's already harder. I'll try it anyway.
For PC, you could try Starcraft 2, or find Red Alert 2 in order to usee its mod Mental Omega. or, you could go with the 20-hours long tutorial o XCOM Long War, Enemy Within. Long War can come later.
Aaand, if T-RPG are still allowed, you could try Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn.
These sound interesting as well! I once played Radiant Dawn for a bit, but I died straight off due to a stupid mistake. I might try it again.
-Alleb
You might want to try WARFRAME. Aside from that, hm. Heroes of Might and Magic III is really good. I'd say Nox, but you said no RPGs.
It seems kinda like Destiny, but I'll bet it has a story. Just... any story. That's the one thing in Destiny that disappointed me, honestly.
-Alleb
WARFRAME used to be downright excuse plot-y on the lore, but DE's changing that now — they've been releasing lore-ish content every major update for a while, with some good things in the .5 ones. u18's The Second Dream quest is stunning and the newest one — u18.5's Sands of Inaros isn't as lore-heavy but is very interesting, since it involves the resident Salt Trader.
Word of warning, though: Warframe doesn't do a good job of explaining itself to newbies. Fortunately, it has a comprehensive wiki. Further, Tactical Potato made a very good newbie guide, and I highly recommend watching it — it will certainly lessen the "what the hell am I supposed to do" feeling Warframe gives you at the beginning.
I'll check those links out; I don't like not knowing what to do. Thanks!
-Alleb
but those are both Rated M...
...I think I speak for everyone when I state that Undertale is an excellent game (even if I have only watched the Steam Train playthrough)
It's for the PC, right?
-Alleb
And if there's one sentence to describe it is: No two runs are the same.
I think I'll get it. Thanks!
-Alleb
I love Lego LOTR to death. Especially all the items! For example, I believe there's a disco phial you can carry around that can make orcs dance, and a giant paintbrush.
I'm used to LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter, and nobody talks in those. First thing my brother and I noticed about LotR is that it used lines from the movies to give the characters dialogue and it was a bit of a turn-off for us.
For [PROJECT NAME CENSORED] I've collected quite a few, in order to get [DETAILS CENSORED] looking right. It's also nice that almost all character-abilities can be duplicated using items.
Except dwarf-tossing and Aragorn's tracking skill. Oh, and Anduril's evil brick smashing power. Aragorn's fairly inevitable in any level, really.
hS
Oooh, LotR sounds especially interesting. I think I might get that one. Cool, mini-Balrog! Thanks for the rec!
-Alleb
I'll look them up; thanks!

DID SOMEBODY SAY GAMING RECOMMENDATIONS OH LOOK YOU HAVE A PC WELL LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT WORLD OF WARCRA—
"Also, no more RPGs, please."
*pouuts and slinks off to the corner to sulk*
I guess that means recommending the ultimate time sinkMinecraft is out of the question, too, huh?
I like RPGs, but Morrowind almost consumed we. I've got too much to do to get sucked in.
I actually already own Minecraft; I still play it every so often, but it doesn't eat up my time like it once did.
