and its like 13 backwards... so probably some kind of sign.

Yep looks like I'll get it from sainsberrryysss

Looking forward to a couple of hours off at home for a change later. Will try for BF3 if anyone's on - snuck in a round this afternoon but now need to catch up with work. (Had a 16 kill streak in a tank destroyer - smashing any record. I was alive for over 15 minutes)

The Economics of Videogames
Interesting read on virtual economies in eve, etc.

That was really quite interesting. I'm still amazed how much people have invested in games.

I was surprised by the 'introducing new weapon/tech to stabilise the economy' bit.

I've always thought with the pay 2 play games or even real money auction houses surely if the company wanted a little more money they could drip through some new item which would generate them revenue?

It seems like Eve has expanded loads since I gave it a go years ago. I bet if I tried it now it would be way to complicated to understand.

Some dude started messaging me on steam last night trying to trade me some apple headphones (in game) for a gun for TF2. I don't even play it... he was really insistent.

Said I could have a key to another game for them... what the fuck.

Never encountered similar behaviour before. Is this the new shit? Was I about to lose all my money to a 'cyber criminal'? Or am I being too cautious?

Nope I've got the apple ear phones too. Always get messaged about them - I guess they must be rare?

I think I got them for installing TF2 on my mac ages ago.

anyone tried Minerim? ha ha, fucking mental

Fucking weird. I'm not sure I like this trade stuff on steam.

Ha! Thanks for that. I'll try and haggle the hell out of mine now.

^ This.

Nearly just gave mine to him to shut him up!

Should have traded them for a copy of cs go!

anyone had a go on the dual play system on 3d lg tv's?

am getting one soon and looks like it could be a good craic for multiplayer.

Walking Dead episode 4

Really looking forward to this. Have loved the game far more than I anticipated.

Fifa 13 is a hellaofalot of fun. Really enjoying it the skill games are great!

Look like the community project Black Mesa is out.

In layman's term; you can play the original Half Life in it's Half Life 2 glory.

Bit late there, you been away or something?

Dishonoured is good. Really enjoying it...

What other games does it play like/remind you of?

Presume it reeks of other Bathesda games (which would be good) but does it?

Reminds me of the excitement I got playing thief. I love a bit of sneaky beaky.

Doesn't really feel like any of the fallout games at all. Remember bethesda just published it, someone else made it. It's really fluid, fast and satisfying. I've heard it's not very long, but I think being able to play through in various ways should at least make it worth going through a couple of times.

The 'fate worse than death' thing sounds good too - though I like killing people much more ;)

been trorn between Resi 6 and Dishonoured.
but Borderlands 2 has taken pretty much all my hours lately
