oh god. Ill never get my other half off that if she sees it.

Upgraded my 1050 to a 1060 (eGPU). PUBG actually runs at medium settings now! Wahooo... anyone else playing?

I'm totally expecting GT Sport to carry over many of the previous flaws, but damn this looks and even sounds - the dag's nads.

GT Sport, Forza 7 and Project Cars 2 all released within three weeks of each other. So much eye candy, but none will be better to drive than Assetto Corsa.

Hey pal ... sold yet?

X-Com 2 for 20 Bucks.

Yay or nay?

The plot for Half Life 3: https://github.com/Jackathan/MarcLaidlaw-Epistle3/blob/master/Epistle3_Corrected.md

Released by the lead Half LIfe writer on his blog this morning (he's now left Valve...).

Are you talking about this month's Humble Bundle?
If so, then yes (and choose Special Effect as your charity of choice pls)

No, it's on Sale on Steam at the moment.

Ignore me, it's on American PSN not PC, so no good for yous anyway.

always yay.

there's an expansion due in a few days.

Should I wait for that and buy both, or just play the standard game with Long War?

This is sad, sad news.

Yup. That last part is definitely about Valve rather than HL3:

At this point, the resistance will have failed or succeeded, no thanks to me. Old friends have been silenced, or fallen by the wayside. I no longer know or recognize most members of the research team, though I believe the spirit of rebellion still persists. I expect you know better than I the appropriate course of action, and I leave you to it. Expect no further correspondence from me regarding these matters; this is my final episode.

it's such a rich and varied game you may as well start with the vanilla version and get the expansion when that goes on sale.

it's turn based strategy - it can be an acquired taste.

there's also xcom enemy unknown / within. very similar but still very good.

in fact i'm going to reinstall it tonight.

I've been enjoying No Man's Sky, bought it from PSN for a tenner the other week and have spent rather a long time on it. Apparently the 1.3 update has added a lot to it. Speaking as someone who didn't play it until the other day, I'm rather enjoying it :)

Black Mesa mod looks and plays brilliantly though still prefer the original. I think because of the cruder graphics I use more imagination so its more immersive.

Or perhaps nostalgia

Hi, sorry I missed this... yep, allll gone, sorry.

I'm addicted to it.

Awesome. Add me on steam if you wanna team up... Eightarmedpet.

that looks dank af

What's all this PUBG lark?

Basically the last 15 mins of dayz. No replacement but fun. Get on it BRO.

I've been tempted to check this out although I was useless at pvp on dayz. I've also resisted installing steam on my new laptop so I can be sensible and do work.

Totally do it... its good fun, totally different to DayZ, but quick dirty fun. Pretty fast paced but I guess slow compared to other PvP shooters. If I remember correctly you were a fair bit better than most of us with PvP (apart from the countless times I slaughtered @CYOA).

This snuck under the radar, haven't played it but the original was awesome:
