    Best drinks for gaming - intellectual Analysis!

    Great Monday Hangover Thread. Yeah that's right! What is your beverage of choice during long gaming sessions and why? For me, right now I am in the Gin category.

    I am currently playing.....

    let's get it started. Just run down of what you are playing. No holds barred. Try and keep the game title in bold that's it. Darkest Dungeon I really love this game and anticipate future content. The one liners are fantastic. Also the battle tension is pretty special. So many times I have...

    The Long Dark

    Early Access Survival game I picked up on the steam sale. I must say this one is a surprising Gem. I am hooked. No Zombies, No NPC's, no other players. It is you vs the environment and ...wolves. Lots of wolves. Made it 7 days before I died in the cold dark trying to fish. Died from...

    Age of Wonders 3

    Anyone playing this. The game seems good. Hard for me to say just how good since I really haven't played much due to a surprising difficulty curve this game is presenting. Reminds a bit of old school heroes of might and magic 3 in that regard. I'm struggling throuh the promised lands...

    Me and a buddy of mine just finished Magicka. Fun stuff. Looking for next game to enjoy some laughs and fun. I will admit, the MMO craving is hitting me again. It hits me every summer. But I will not play one of these WOW clones. I was reading about Secret World. Looks like it could be a...

    Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars!!

    Some hilarious fun to be had here. 200 v 200 battles!!! Muskets, Cannons go good with beer! Plus, Playable musicians! Line Battles! Siege mode. Some of the Siege mode maps I do not care for ( too many stalemates ) but some are good. Reloading takes roughly 11 seconds. On many game modes ...

    Playing any older games these days?

    Just wondering what folks are playing that might be out of the normal newer games. I just finished ME3 and re-installed some old favorites for instance: Planescape: Torment. Got some mods to go with it now such as widescreen support. The thing that makes me want to vomit is the UI, controls...

    Who has played Risen?

    This game keeps popping up on various forums. I typically see people on one side of the spectrum, either it is awesome or it sucks. Thoughts on this game? Buy or avoid? I never played any of the Gothic series.

    New Xbox360, re-use old HD?

    So, I as many other lucky individuals have yet another RROD'ed xbox and its past warranty. Couple questions 1. If I buy a new xbox 360 Arcade, can I simply slap in my old HD and be up and running just as I was? Or do you need to reset anything like Dashboard settings / network settings etc...

    Dragon Age: Awakenings!

    Comes out today right? First to buy and try please respond :) Myself I am going to hold off. Not sure why , DA was great but I am in no hurry to flop down 39.99 for an expansion. Bioware notoriously average when it comes to expansions ( as opposed to sequels. ). Still I think this will be...

    Mass Effect 2 Vs Dragon Age

    Plenty of threads going on these so forgive me if another thread is overkill, but I thought it would be fun to see peoples opinions of Biowares recent offerings head to head. Myself, having finished both think Dragon Age gets the slight edge in my humble opinion. Reason being for me is...

    Star Trek online. To seek out new Civs and Green Alien Boobs

    I dont see much talk of this game. I suddenly have that MMO itch again but I know deep inside there is nothing worth while to scratch it.

    ME 2 impressions

    Quick impressions so far:At its core the game is improved. Everything ME 1 did good, ME2 is better. Graphics + sound is amazing, story and dialogue is even MORE engaging..bravo. combat feels slighty more 'gritty' for lack of better words.Now, the things that ME didn't do quite so well are...

    Bioware games - endings

    Bioware games - especially the new ones ( DA, ME ) have a story driven cinematic quality to them. Bioware has gone so far to coin a ew phrase for them as being 'filmic'.One thing many of us enjoy and expect from these titles are the cinematic openigs and endings.Dragon age and Mass effect have...

    What TF2 Server do you play on?

    Any recommended TF2 servers I can switch to? Been playing on Lotus servers for a long time. Not sure why, I like servers that have high max players, and just some familiar faces. However they have been harder and harder to get on and the team stacking seems bad lately. I dont like custom...
