Quick Questions About Steam??

Actually, I upgraded my primary SSD recently and reloaded a clean copy of Windows - keeping my existing storage drives. Steam located my exist game stores and restored what I had with no effort on my part. I DID lose a lot of save games, since many of them save on the C: drive - but the...

Mass Effect Andromeda (2016)

I guess the way I view this all is that I watched all of Babylon 5 - so the actual story is well known to me. The chance to play in a derivative narration as a video game was fun. Fighting the Shadows, er I mean Reapers was fun. Because the fundamental plot was lifted from what is perhaps the...

Fallout 4 - it's official! Coming Nov 10, '15

Interesting. I liked Oblivion, it was the first Elder Scrolls game I cared for. The Oblivion gates got really old, but then the bit with the Painter was so epic, so clever and unique. Skyrim is of course in a league of it's own, but I thought Oblivion was very good.

Firaxis Announces XCOM 2!

Loved the first one. Making the second better will be easy. Retain the core play, BUT this was supposed to be a global war, yet every city looked identical. Paris and Los Angeles were the same model, same cars, stores, etc. One thing they can do is render the environments to match the...

PC gaming has broken my heart!

Wow; I found XCom to be one of the best games I've played in years. Gal Civ 3 is good - very much like Gal Civ 2, so the the staying power is limited.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I don't think this has much, if anything to do with showing up the consoles, I think this is a problem in the PC world itself. Here is why: Crysis was both the high and low point for PC Gaming. It was the best visuals seen to that time - but it also brought most machines to their knees. The...

Anyone Use 2 Huge Screens (48 inches or more) For A Dual Monitor Set Up?

Duel monitor in games leaves me flat, the bezel is always in the middle of the action. For desktop work, i'd rather be at my desk, so huge displays offer no attraction.

Thoughts on Dead Island?

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Both the original and Riptide. Riptide was better, but the original was good as well. My wife and I spent endless hours dispatching zombies.... DI II is going to rock.

290's falling price...Crossfire?

All I can say is that I had 2 7970's in Crossfire and vowed "never again." In at least half the games I played, Crossfire screwed things up and had to be disabled. In half the games it worked in, I found no describable improvements. In a very small handful of games, i saw significant...

Your favourite OMFG moment in Gaming

Interesting. I loved Oblivion, and saw Skyrim as the natural progression. It looks a LOT better now, with all the mods than it did at release.

Your favourite OMFG moment in Gaming

The first was with my old Riva 128, and a copy of Quake II. I ran it for the first time in OpenGL and new that everything would change from that point forward. 6 months later I bought 2 Voodoo 2 cards and put them in SLI - the era of the thousand dollar video card had begun.

Modern version of Age of Empires?

AoE II is on Steam. Some minor improvements to the original. I found that I had played it to death in the 90's and just couldn't keep interested.
