If you only had 1 hour/day 5x/week to play games, what game(s) would you play?

I have similar time constraints and surprisingly the Witcher 3 is a good one. It's a slow building game so a longer session would be best, but being able to Quick Save just about whenever you want is severely underrated. If you want to get "right to the action" I would recommend the latest...

Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

Damn, still have to finish Uncharted 4 and was thinking there wouldn't be any good exclusives for a while. Then this game has to go ahead and come out. Still haven't played Last of Us remastered yet either (shaaame, shaaaame, I know) Sooo, next week we have this game and Zelda. Hmmmm...

**Super Bowl LI ** Brady v Ryan - Who Ya Be Takin'?

Born and raised in NE but not a Pats fan (actually they didn't have many fans till about 2001 but that's another story). It's amazing the razor thin margins...if Atlanta didn't blow this, Seattle hands the ball off, and the tuck-rule didn't exist (the right call at the time per the rule book...

Titanfall 2

Ya, I'm with you man. I can usually only handle one multiplayer game at a time. However, I did end up picking up Titanfall 2 for the Xbox so that it doesn't mess with my muscle memory for Battlefield 1 on the PC. Figured for nights when I feel like chillin on the couch I'll play some Titanfall...

i5 2500k bottle necking AMD 290?

Yup, agree with the others. Overclock that beast, it's easy. I'm at 4.5Ghz on my 2500k at about 1.316 volts using the "offset voltage" option. Took me about a week to get there as I was fine tuning but worth it. Nothing else to do in these cold, dark, new england winters.

Windows 10 and cleanly updating Nvidia display drivers

Hey All, Quick question, and forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere. I installed Windows 10 last night and of course up first boot it spends about 10 minutes installing the Nvidia driver that is packaged with Windows (353.62 I think). However, I want to upgrade to the latest and...

Battlefield Hardline

Is it me or do the graphics seem just meh? I've only played the beta for about 20 minutes or so, but even on Ultra settings I wasn't blown away at all by them. Felt a bit cartoony even. For comparison, I'm currently playing Crysis 2 (yes, single player mode but still) and the graphics in...

Another Xbone vs PS4 Thread (Very objective)

I bought both the XBox One and PS4 on their respective launch days, knowing that I would keep one of them and sell the other. Like the others said, it really comes down to exclusives. I kept the Xbox One and sold the PS4 only because I wanted to play Forza 5 and I like the Xbox controller...

Home cardio workout suggestions

Burpees, burpees, burpees. One of my most brutal workouts.... start with say a set of 15 burpees, followed by 45 second rest, followed by 14 burpees, followed, by 45 seconds rest. All the way down to 0. It winds me more than any other cardio I've done. I worked my way up to starting with...

"Smart" Glass technology?

Yeah, I would assume the payback period on commercial buildings would be much sooner than that on residential homes. However, a savings is a savings and like Phoenix86 said, preventing energy from entering the home is more effective than sandwiching it between the window and the curtains.

Amazing technology in a cheap toy helicopter

Hey OP, You stole my thoughts. I got one for my birthday back in November and I'm amazed at the logistics as to how they can make money at the $25 selling point. Materials, shipping, third party, etc etc. Pretty remarkable.

Crazy for wanting Wii U?

Bought a Wii U on launch day, kept it in the box. Have 360, have PS3, have PC, have Uncharted 3 to play, have baby on the way... Returned it after thinking about it for two weeks.

Platform of choice

First person shooters and RTS on the PC. Sports games, racing games, third person shooters in the living room with the PS3 of 360. The dog hates it when I'm on the PC, but doesn't mind as much when I'm on the couch playing the consoles. He can sleep next to me.
