I quite often find I stopped playing perfectly good games just because something else came out I wanted, and I started playing it. Months/years later I find it and can't remember why I stopped playing a certain game, play it again and it's awesome. I think the biggest problem, especially with...

If you've put in a particularly beefy graphics card your power supply may not be up to the task. Otherwise, it could be driver conflicts with the old card, in which case run something likeDriver Sweeper, then install the latest recommended driver for your new card.

Haha, that's awesome!

That looks so awesome, exactly what I've been waiting for! Here's hoping for a pre Christmas release.

It seems to be back up now.

Same here. It tells me I'm not connected to the internet, or that my connection is not properly configured for Steam.

Happy Holidays all!

Considering Itlan's conclusion in the 3rd post, it's interesting most of Africa has no concept of time.

Haha, I didn't realise the somethingawful website was still around. Shame they haven't had more legal threats, those were my favourite articles on the site.

In "Free" to play games, that's fine. That's how they generate income from their product. In anything else, I absolutely detest them. The whole market is heading in a horrible direction, led by companies like EA. In the good old days companies used to pay staff to test their software...

Latest updateon this states that the beta will be released next week for backers.

Anyone who claims to have liked IX must be trolling yeah, but their opinions should be ignored anyway just in case, just like the people bitching about tile based movement and paper dolls (lol). The fact that the devs said no to most of the stuff submitted via the OpenDev program actually...

No one said anything about the price, what difference does that make? Are you saying we should like games more if developers charge less for less content? All the user generated content is mediocre. The SNES reboot might end up being good though.

A toss up between Shadowrun returns and How to Survive. Shadowrun because it ended up being very short and very limited, and How to Survive because it ended up being a clumsily made cash grab instead of the zombie game using a Fallout Tactics-esque engine I hoped it would be.

God Bless kickstarter for reviving the old school RPG. Can't wait for this.

Is it possible to get a Steam refund just because a game sucks? Or does a game have to suck and be buggy in order to get a refund?

I've got about 200 hours clocked up on X3 so far, and have quite a sizeable empire. The thing that really jump started my earning was getting a 1MW shield factory. So long as you set it to sell at a reasonable price NPCs will flock from systems far and wide to buy your stuff. So I'd say a...

Edit: Double Post

The XCOM expansion is really good, apart from all your augmented soldiers inexplicably swap their badass armor for short sleeved T-shirts.

So I guess nothing happened? Hmmmm, maybe nothing happened because Anon found out about it and they pulled the plug!

Thank goodness I didn't buy this on release. I'm a huge fan of the X series, but from what I've read here and around the internet is that this game is nothing like the previous X games apart from it being in space. I think this is what happens when the publishers/investors demand the game...

I tried FFXIV and lasted about a week before it got monotonous. Guild Wars 2 didn't hold my interest. I might start up SWTOR again if the space combat addition is good. For the first time in nearly 10 years I'm not playing any MMO, nor am I looking forward to an upcoming MMO. Congratulations...

This is the game I'm looking forward to the most at the moment. I'm hoping for a pre-Christmas release.

4D Sports Boxing!

It's available onGOG

Wow, that looks awesome.

The Last Stand: Dead Zone. If it was a proper game, as opposed to a flash game, and so didn't have the ridiculous time between missions (energy system) or micro transactions it would be my perfect game.

Just found out aboutDead Statefrom a random Top 10 Zombie games of 2013 site. It looks like a turn based RPG zombie post apocalypse game in the vein of Fallout Tactics, with base building, resource gathering etc. Combat Preview video It's a kickstarter project, still in development...

Same!

I've just about finished playing Alpha Protocol, a really cool game that totally passed me by (thanks whoever mentioned it in the RPG thread), and I've started playing GW2 with a friend. Enjoying it so far.

How do you know when it's a good time to do the Pal Egg machine etc? I don't know if I'm just extremely unlucky, but I always seem to get those little level 1 worthless blobs from it.

God dammit, got another 3 star gimp creature on my Rare Egg machine roll. Anyone want to exchange presents? My ID is 312,567,247.

The story underneaths headline made me chuckle:N. Korean Comic Pulled Off Stage, Sent to Coal Mine

I went out drinking with my brother once and got totally hammered. I ended up falling down the stairs and knocking myself out. When I came to apparently I walked into the kitchen and took a shit in the middle of the floor, then pulled up my trousers, walked upstairs to the bathroom and washed...

Holy crap I loved that game, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Edit: Easy one.

I agree, Scorched Earth. I played that game for 2 years in Technology class. Cryptic one.

Because times were simpler then, when the monarchy ruled. Nowadays, while the monarchy ultimately have no actual power, you vote for some dick hole with the illusion of choice, but ultimately you're voting for the same group of fuckwits, and each group fuck you over equally. Why do people who...

F-Zero is correct! Drakken is incorrect.

I enjoyed it, I've still not completed it yet as after a decking run my game bugged, characters stuck in walls etc, and I lost about an hours gameplay due to the laughable save system. I can see the potential it has with UGC, which is massive. However, at the moment it's just meh. And god...
