    Help TDG with building a new desktop PC

    If you're in Australia I should be able to get someone to come up with a build fairly quickly so you can start comparing prices. Also - let us know the kind of games you're wanting to play and if you're interested in VR. A rough budget would be a massive help on this mate. There's a really...

    Doom Eternal

    New gameplay footage released tonight: I can't wait for this to come out to be honest. I know not everyone feels the same way about Doom 2016 but I think it's a much better modern offering of a classic franchise than most companies are capable of pulling off. There's obviously a lot of love...

    Dormant/Dead franchise and what killed them -- discussion

    I'm holding out hope that if Diabotical can capture the imagination of the Fortnite playerbase - that and the popularity of Doom2016 and Eternal might get the arena FPS ball rolling again. I just CAN'T imagine a world where Unreal stays dead. I won't do it! :D

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    It will be for the rest of the summer, to be fair. I live in the tropics in the far NE of the country, so generally the fires around here struggle to get to the size/seriousness of what you're seeing down south. We're in cyclone season now though, so if I find myself being whisked up into the...

    Unpopular Opinion and Discussion thread

    It didn't make sense at the time either, but that's how everyone was raving about the game :p No one has ever told me what was groundbreaking about Halo

    What was your first RPG?

    Shadowrun on the SNES was my first RPG. I still listen to the soundtrack now on youtube sometimes, absolutely love it. Was really pleased to see a UGC made of it for one of the Hairbrained Schemes Shadowrun games not long back. Shadowrun had that weird CYOA dialogue system to move the story...

    Dormant/Dead franchise and what killed them -- discussion

    Descent :( Tenchu (Console I know but Tenchu was fantastic) Tribes but most of all - Unreal/UT.

    Unpopular Opinion and Discussion thread

    Halo is just a mediocre FPS and is only popular because console gamers at the time thought they were witnessing the birth of FPS games.

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    Hello all. 30 summat English bloke living in Straya. I was shown Fallout2 by a school friend when I was 12 and it had me at "Swearing and killing ANYONE you feel like". The game absolutely blew my mind and I've gone back to it most years the same way some people re-read their favourite book...
