TS, fancy this? Pitch yourself against a world champion?

I'm too old and shit to compete, I don't put enough hours in these days...

I was talking about me.

Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about...

As in, I'm the world champion. Jeeeezuz... tough crowd.

I would destroy you, Ben...

Quite enjoying Mario Kart.

Bought into the Elite Dangerous beta.

Despite only being a tiny fraction of what's supposed to be in the full game, I'm finding it all quite overwhelming. It does seem very promising tho'.

Quite enjoying Mario Kart.

I'm having a quiet night in tonight, gonna have a session I reckon... Need to complete all three stars on all the cups... I'll be a babbling wreck by the end of the night...

back on the D3 for me. It's Patch week lol!

Bought the DLC yet, or trying to polish off the standard bits first?

Bought the DLC yet...

The new tracks and karts don't come out until November. :(

New tracks? I spent much of the last couple of months making this one...

Very rewarding to see it on other people's videos. Consensus seems to be that I've done a pretty good job.

Heads up PC people, Arma 3 at 50% off at the BI website:

Who has played season 2 of the Walking Dead?

Completed last night. Whilst it wasn't as amazing as Season 1, it was still good. I'd put it on the pile of to play, but not a priority if you get me. I was playing on my phone, so it's a good one to play for an hour just before going to sleep in bed.

Excellent, thank you for helping me decide!

I think I might skip the playing just before going to sleep, though, I don't especially want to have nightmares.

Spent the day playing Metro 2033 Redux ... It's really good, better than the original version I think. Playing Spartan mode though, I suck at full survivalist mode.

Already have 2033 + Last Light, but I got 2033 for a tenner, and LL was free so I didn't mind spending $25 to upgrade both of them. If you've never played them, get them! (note: they are on rails, not openworld)

got the originals last week, but today will be Bioshock Infinite day :-)

Just seen that there is a 25 min speed run of Dark Souls. Ridiculous!

Just watched a preview for the standalone DLC for Saints Row IV.

A standalone DLC for a standalone DLC. Just as utterly shit as it sounds.

^ I don't even get it

Bioshock Infinite is awesome but very different to the original. It's one of the few games I've finished (and the DLC). The first DLC is good, wasn't so keen on the second

My pc is slowly becoming a dedicated steam box since I got a macbook pro. I just don't need it for anything I used to do. Ironic that I hated steam when it came out, and now I have just added all my non-steam games to Steam.

Mind you, I'm still puzzled at UPlay and Origin. Everyone hates them, why do I need yet another launcher ? At least Uplay has been updated to support being launched from Steam and controllers.

Standalone DLC for Saints Row IV, which in itself was a £40 standalone DLC for Saints Row 3. Think Far Cry: Blood Dragon except shit and almost 3 times more expensive. It's a shame because the Saints Row series was actually pretty awesome up until 3. Now they're just flogging a dead horse with a 3 foot dido bat.

wait until it's like a fiver. I got Blood Dragon + Call of Juraz for $5 together in a steam sale. Think I paid $10 for Saints Row IV. I would never pay full price for them but they are fun

So far today is turning out to be a downloading Bioshock infinite day. Still at 40%. Shoulda started it off last night.
While I am waiting, I have the following games installed but never played. Which shall I go for?
Max Payne 3
Fallout 3 GOTY edition
Driver San Franciso
Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
