    on your own?

    Thankfully me and my little group of friends all have gaming laptops set aside for when we get together to either play tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, or Savage Worlds, or do a quick game of LoL, Dota2, or just chill and play some EvE online together.

    A short Finn greets you!

    Well. I'm not going to lie. That is perhaps one of the better introduction threads I've seen in quite some time! Most people just tend to come around and go "Hello, I'm here!" and then start posting in the discussion threads.

    gaming on a budget...

    I'm thinking either that, or they know that if they can get kids with allowances hooked on their products, they'll just ask their parents to pay for it. Its how I use to pay for my World of Warcraft account back during "The Burning Crusade" expansion. Doing chores around the house and stuff to...

    Best Free PC Games

    I second Path of Exile. It's one of the best Diablo clones you can find that's completely free. Plus its pretty indepth if you like games that require you to plan ahead. Neverwinter Nights is a pretty good MMO that's completely free as well. Last i played it was still in Beta, but most of the...

    DRM - yay or nay?

    I honestly don't mind DRM as long as it doesn't interfere with the fun of the game. I'm not a huge fan of DRM that have you putting in codes before play, or the always online options (Because sometimes I play when I'm offline.). I think the steam platform is perhaps one of the better DRM that...

    Steam surpasses 9 million concurrent users

    Isn't it one of the most popular platform for obtaining games for PC gaming? I can't seem to get a physical copy of a game without having to have a steam account that goes along with it. So it makes sense.

    Sid Meier's Civilization

    Ohhh yea. I remember getting Civilization 2 for my birthday when I was around 15 or 16. I'd end up playing that game for hours. Days. Weeks even. In fact at one point I didn't have internet or television for 4 months. Guess which game passed the time for me for several hours? You guessed it...

    What's your favorite F2P game?

    For me personally, Path of Exile is my favorite F2P game. The whole game is relatively free to play practically, and is a worthy Diablo clone. The only thing paying adds to the experience is gear that you can easily transmog, portal colors, magical effects that don't change your characters...

    Do you prefer the pc version of games over the console?

    For me, RPG's and other games that I can easily mod definitively go for the PC and such just to extend their game life. Usually RPG's, and Strategy games and all. For most other games such as actions, sports, racing, or even fighting I much prefer a console version, just because it's easier to...

    Favorite thing about Chrono Cross

    I'd have to say the soundtrack, above all. While I find it hard to believe it as a sequel to Chrono Trigger, overall the game itself was very entertaining. The music was superb, the battle system was fun and intuitive, and I really didn't have to do a whole lot of grinding, which was a problem...

    Dual monitors?

    Yep. Got two monitors here for me as well. It's very nice. One monitor I use off to the side for various things. Either for work, or to watch a movie or whatnot. While I use the main one for gaming, downloading, or work. If your PC can handle it, and you can afford it, I'd recommend it if you...

    Free to Play games

    Depends on the F2P model that's being used. if its a game where I spend money, and I instantly win? No thank you. I much prefer to spend my money elsewhere. If its a game where I spend money, and just earn cosmetic upgrades, or another character slot, or a "Donation" tag next to my name? Then...

    Types of gamers

    In my teenage years I liked to think I was a hardcore gamer. I'd spend entire days sitting and playing online games just to prove I was the best at any chosen game. Get good at multiplayer games online, or single player, develop strategies and either try to break it through sheer willpower or...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Assesssment

    Loved this game. Me and my friends spent a weekend making a male human that looked surprisingly like Nigel Thornberry (after seeing pictures of it online) from "The Wild Thornberries" cartoon, and couldn't stop laughing as we took turns to play him and make him do all sorts of incredible things...

    Did you play in a computer lab?

    Man. Those take me back. Being in third grade, going to the computer lab to play Number Muncher, Oregon Trail, and a host of others. I remember back in fourth grade they even let us take home Apple II computers to do homework on, learn how to create hyperlink software, and even play games. They...

    What happened to the "Free Weekend weekends" Steam was supposed to offer?

    Personally I wouldn't mind something kind of like this again. At least something to break the monotony of just downloading demo's to test out games that I want to try before I buy. Something that gives you full access to the game for just 2 days to see how far you can go into playing it and...

    Castle Crashers

    If you have friends and a lot of free time. I highly recommend Castle Crashers. It's perhaps one of the best games in recent times that me and my friends actively enjoy playing together and seeing what all sorts of crazy stuff we can do, and get ourselves involved in. Pizza, Beer, Castle...

    Emulators Thread

    Jnes is pretty good for the NES platform. Really, it's not all that hard it seems to emulate the earlier era of gaming consoles, since the entirety of the NES library can fit on a 7gig flashdrive I have. It just seems to have a lot of problems the newer the technology is. For example I really...

    NES games = best ever.

    I agree that the NES really wasn't the best, but I do agree that our idea of best is probably more influenced by what we grew up with more. For me, that's the SNES and Genesis era, and for my younger brothers, it's the PS2 era. As for NES games. Man. I can't help but get excited to play...

    Steam Machines

    It looks nice, for sure. But I don't see what it brings to the table over the usual consoles/PC that we have now. It just seems like a more targeted Console using the steam platform as opposed to using physical copies of games to play. I suppose like with the Ouya this is just somethin to wait...
