    Legend of Grimrock, old school dungeon crawler RPG

    A word of warning, don't bother attempting to make a 'Missile Weapon' or 'Throwing Weapon' Rogue. They're both extremely horrible skill lines that will leave you with an awful character that's nothing but a drain on your party. Other than that, and a few puzzles with backwards logic, it's a...

    Dark Souls

    Was moderately excited about DS coming to the PC. Then it's revealed to be a GFWL title. No fucking thanks.

    Legend of Grimrock, old school dungeon crawler RPG

    An old-school dungeon crawler with current-gen graphics? And it's coming out tomorrow? Take my money, please. Pre-ordered.

    Silent Hill: Downpour is...

    If you need a SH fix, go back and play 1 or 2. They're both still great games by today's standards. You could also check out Lone Survivor which was just released.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    With D3's May 15 release date looming on the horizon, time has slowed to an agonizing crawl (Which is odd, considering we've all been waiting for it for over a decade now) comparable to those final few days before Christmas when you're a kid. So besides working on my tan (while the temp is...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Quivers are now just offhand items that give stat bonuses. Basically you've got a crossbow/bow + quiver or two little hand-crossbows and no quiver. Arrows/Bolts are infinite.

    Building a PC

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.770956 It's way overkill if all he does is Photoshop (Would be great for video editing which can be extremely taxing), but its $300 cheaper than whatever monstrosity he was currently building.

    Mass Effect 3 discussion

    Well, here's a fun bug: Your money will randomly disappear. All of it. Checked around and it's not a PC only thing, happens on the 360 as well. Been saving up cash for the last 10+ hours to unlock those ridiculously expensive Spectre weapons? Well go fuck yourself buddy, because whenever you...

    Mass Effect 3 discussion

    Playing ME3 at the moment. All I can say is that they didn't playtest Insanity at all. If you've ever played CoD: World at War, and remember enemies endlessly spamming insta-kill grenades at you, that's EXACTLY what they've turned ME3 into. It's a mess.

    Bioware Backlash

    Allowing gameplay to be skipped feels dangerously close to turning games into $59.99 movies. It makes sense financially, but I can't help but feel revulsion at the idea.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Finished Alan Wake and the DLCs. Fuck, that was a huge letdown. The story was the only redeeming thing about the game even though the ending was super unsatisfying. The first half of the game is just trudging through boring woods fighting wave after wave of enemy. The second half (and the...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Currently playing Alan Wake. It doesn't run particularly well on my 5 year old PC, but it's playable and looks nice. The story is interesting so far with plenty of twists and turns, but the gameplay kind of sucks whenever combat is involved. It starts off good, taunting you with creepy...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    They did indeed change things up. Swapping skills now requires you be at a Nephalem altar, which is found in town (and at certain locations out in the wild).

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    It definitely feels like Diablo. You'll instantly feel at home the second you create a character and hop in. The atmosphere is quite gloomy, and the music is exactly as you'd expect it to be. Leveling up and not spending skill points is weird at first, but realizing that you aren't tied...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    They've started sending out waves of beta invites for those who have opted in. I didn't get an invite, but fortunately one of my friends did; so I've been on his account playing through it with various characters. There's all kinds of server stability problems at the moment, which translates...

    Steve Jobs died

    It's a thread in a discussion forum (You know, a place to discuss your opinions; be they controversial or not), and he was a VERY polarizing figure; so seeing that sort of thing shouldn't surprise you at all. The same thing would have happened had Gates died instead.

    Steve Jobs died

    If you didn't care for the guy when he was alive, why start showing false sympathy and talking about how great he was after he's dead?

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Got roped into playing WoW again after a 7 month break. Going through ZG/ZA again with the new heroics is neat, but after ~15 runs each they're both starting to feel way too familiar. Firelands on the other hand, is quite awesome. The fights are technical, but not tedious (Lady Vashj...

    Why mainstream Science doesn't accept Atlantis theories

    You could say the same thing about every religious text ever written, and the majority of people actually believe in that shit in one form or another.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Finished DE:HR. The second half of the game was extremely linear, but it was still quite fun. Started messing around with Dead Island, and quit after ~10 minutes. That game is a mess.
