I've been playing Torchlight 2, I got it on Steam for a few bucks to help me pass 2 weeks with nothing but internet (only till Wednesday... so close) and it's proven to be awfully addictive to play. No story to speak of and no revolutionary mechanics or anything, just hack and slash Diablo 2 style made by the same people who made D2.

Heh, I started Torchlight II a couple days ago myself as part of my backlog project and have been playing it since. Like you said, it's easy to just keep going and going; always one more bad guy over the horizon.
Once the next Mass Effect and KH3 get real launch dates, I'll be excited for them, too.
Kind of hard to continue that story, what with the main character dying and saving the universe at the end of ME3, isn't it?
It's been confirmed that there will be a new Mass Effect game and it's supposed to take place 50-100 years after the end of ME3.
Yeah, no word yet on what that's going to mean, though.
I mean, destruction vs. control vs. synthesis should all have really different outcomes. Like whether or not we have working mass relay networks, Geth, Reapers. Whether or not every organism is now bio-synthetic... etc.
I'm inclined to guess that they'll be making games based on "what if" scenarios. Like, we might get one game set in one timeline, another game set in another.
The only other option is for BioWare to pick a canon outcome (I'm guessing synthesis, because the Geth are too interesting, or destruction, for the higher conflict base), and just do their best to let Shepard RIP for everything else. Which would suck, but meh. I enjoy their storytelling enough to forgive it, considering they don't really have other options. Building games that work for all three would just make the decision meaningless in the context of the universe, and would eat a lot of dev resources in the process.
I was really hoping the next game was going to be the First Contact War, but no dice.

I never run my Raptr program in the background so my numbers are all messed up. It grabbed Steam numbers off my library but missed any Origin or Uplay stuff from the looks of it.
There indeed is. I know some of the give-aways have conditions like "Run the client for at least 2 hours in the past week" or something but I'm never around for those promotions anyway so I didn't need another program running in the background.

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

There are also mods that add content, I think. I'm not entirely sure how they work though as I haven't looked into it yet. Plenty to do to keep me entertained anyway.

The only mod I ever used was the one that added in respec items.
