    Rust

    Well, a driver update on my work station really improved performance. I didn't update the gaming laptop yet but I assume I will get benefit from it as well. First impressions...clearly an alpha in terms of content and polish but nice and stable. Can't tell you how many times I was chased...

    Rust

    Probably a good point. I am not sure when I last updated the drivers on that PC but, damn, I'd be surprised if a driver update could take me from what I was seeing last night to "good frame rates".

    DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

    I realize it probably has not been optimized as much as the mod (if any) but I'm curious how it performs compared to the mod- being a standalone. DayZ mod always seemed to be a slow loader and I never really got great frame rates.

    Yeah, jewelry doesn't work on my wife. We're talking new kitchen territory. Most of my gaming these days in on the PlayStation. I do play some DotA and a few other games on my development laptop but no FPSs. Although I code for a living, I do mostly embedded development and I don't tend to...

    Rust

    Bought it. Why did no one mention that I need an NSA supercomputer to play this game? You guys pretend you're my wife. Let me try this out: "Honey, I'ma going to buy $5000 PC so I can watch guys running around with their virtual dongs flopping around while we kill pigs with rocks so we...

    DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

    Went back and tried the mod tonight. I had forgotten how painfully shitty the inventory system is. Ran around for an hour. Found it easier to kill zombies with a machete than any of the guns I found. Accidentally dropped about 8 cans of food. Fuck that inventory system right in the ass. Never...

    DOTA 2

    I'm only at about 70 games but my progression was Crystal/Sniper -> Death Prophet -> Blood Seeker. I love me some Blood Seeker. I find him fairly easy to be successful with in the single queue games if you have a decent team. On the other hand if (like I had recently), you have a really...

    Is it possible he can't log in because his user id has changed to Zombie Wizardhawk and he didn't get the memo?

    What do you guys recommend for duos? I have been playing with my cousin some, often times with us both in the same room and we've had fun with... - Death Prophet / Shadow Shaman (hard push) - Blood Seeker / Tusk (hard troll)

    DOTA 2

    Just really started playing some over the holidays, gotten in about 30 games, slightly over 50% win rate, I think. If this thread has taught me anything, it is that I don't know shit. I was in the team recruiting channel to see if I could break the pug cycle and hooked up with a guy who, as...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Agree it can go both ways. I have a brother-in-law who has a long history of buying shit that they don't need and can't afford. Every fucking gadget, esoteric tool, and ponzy-ass pyramid scheme has seen his dollar. He was raised by idiots and that is all he has ever known. In my case, I must...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Dropping this for Onoes. It's a Michigan thing but there might be some useful info. ADAM | American Divorce Association for Men | Southfield, MI I've been married for 15 years. I'd like to think I will never need it but I probably will.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Is it just me or do bombers, mortars, and commander cruise missiles seem to require a headshot to to kill and grenades seem to kill within about, oh, 50 yards? Fuck me, the hulk rage I felt trying to 1) Get the bomber. 2) Actually hit something with it.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Spent last night camping the fucking bomber spawns trying to complete the assignment and got it exactly one time and ... didn't see or hit anything. This could take a while until people get bored with the bombers.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Anyone heard anything about server rentals becoming available for PS3? Also, is there a way to view the whole map? I think in BF3 you could hold the select or start button but I have no clue how to view it now.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    I'm sort of in the same boat: I am moderately competitive at run and gun FPS but I can elevate my game a little by PTFO and some creative flanking. The new kill cam really screws that up though. I much preferred the old kill cam- you could admire the killer's bling but not necessarily tell...

    Isn't there a chance that it will be partially destroyed and whatever is left of it will spew across space? And into Lumie's house?

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading from a PS3 to a PS4. If I do, BF4 would be the first game on the play list. - Have they resolved the issues they were having on the PS4 platform? I saw some complaints on stability and not being able to play on large servers. For me, BF4 is...

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    $500 per a live-in chef-hooker would be a good deal. Making $500 on it is a GREAT deal.

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    This thread is why Jesus says don't live in sin. $500 per month, regular home-cooked meals, hummers on demand, call it good.

    Need a game to play with my kid.

    Thanks for the ideas, guys. I think we're going to try out Orcs Must Die 2, although he's trying to talk me into another Arma 2 license to play some cops and robber mod he's been playing. With the recent GTA publicity, he's been into games with cars but I refuse to let him play GTA. Just a...

    Need a game to play with my kid.

    Oldest is almost 11 and has been asking me for a few weeks to buy something we can play together. We have a PS3 and two gaming laptops. We've played: D&D Online, various CoD, Minecraft, D3, Terraria and a few others together. Any suggestions? I'd prefer co-op but 1v1 multiplayer works too.

    Where To Watch Online

    I just wish the NFL would pull their heads out of their asses and make games more widely available after the deal with DirectTV expires. I live in northern MI and would love to be able to watch the Colts. When I was a DTV subscriber, I used to bite the bullet and just buy the NFL Sunday Ticket...

    How was it a shady deal on his part? He got scammed and is now being extorted. I know the donut muncher at the front desk said buzz off. She was running interference. He needs to try to get through to a detective. If you present yourself as a normal human being, they sometimes are willing...
