hmm I have  $20 code for origin / ea that I never used, or so... and I have Shadowrunner? or something like that ... its not installed on my pc as when I installed it on my old PC windows live just about killed the internet for some reason.

I have yet to spend a penny and yet I have 3 steam games (one of them was a gift, kind of 2), and 4 games on Origin.  :)

Get Dota 2. It's free!

Oh and I believe Origin is giving away Peggle right now. Have you got it?

Finally have a respectable PC myself.  :)

Playing Tomb Raider at the moment. 
Looks amazing and plays well despite the fact that I'm still using integrated graphics.  :P

Of course I do!!  Did you get Sims 2 on Origin? 

I have civ 5, minecraft, the forest, antichamber, and kerbal space program.

I am stunned by how good Tomb Raider looks.  I only played on a SDTV, so my higher resolution monitor makes a huge difference.  :)

There's one thing I hate about PC gaming. 

It's the fact that it is a PC. 

On consoles I really just want to play games and if I want to look something up or whatever, I can just walk a few feet and go on my computer or just pick up my tablet. 
On PC, I really want to play games, but its like there's so much distraction that I don't. 

It makes no sense, I know.  I hardly ever do. 

Got The Elder Scrolls Anthology. 

Is that I-V?

@the-Pi-guy and @Pezus I have that same problem.  I have a bunch of Steam games I haven't even downloaded.  I'll go to my computer and be all like "I should probably play something" then I come here and post instead.

Higher resolution makes a world of difference, even with lower quality assets (to an extent). 

Titanfall is FREE on PC this weekend.

That shame is 50 GB I'm not wasting my time downloading that -.-

Like free for life or you can play for free just this weekend?

Free to play for just this weekend.

There's no way I could even download it by the end of the weekend... 

Oh, TF is the same really. 48 hours free beginning when you start playing, I believe. So add it to your collection even if you don't download yet!

Origin won't go online!

The 48 hours free to play start just when you play the first time... so you can start to download today and finish on monday and play 48 hours.

Indeed. But can I start next month/year?

I don't know how it works :(

BTW people on GAF are reporting the game is dead... like take minutes or more to enter in a game... fudgy low community on PC.

There's one thing I like about Origin (and that's it).  The "on the house deal."

Speaking of Origin.

I dont have a single game on Origin that I actually purchased. I have 16 games on Origin - some were part of humble bundle, some were part of the On the house deal and some were just extra redeemable steam keys.

I have like 4 or 5 Origin accounts. The main one has probably around 10 games if I include the on the house stuff, the others 1-2

Why? 

Due to them giving games a while back. They had a few to choose from but only 1 per account.

Welcome to September PC community!

I'm thinking of getting a home console like PC for my entertainment stand.

Maybe.

Oh yeah?

anyone here use multiple video cards in there pc build?

anyone here use multiple video cards in there pc build?

My laptop came with two.

One is an intel HD 4000 and the other is an Nvidia GeForce GT 630M (1 GB GDDR5)

anyone here use multiple video cards in there pc build?

When I was doing some promotions at a microcenter in my area a lot of customers were talking about the boost you get from utilizing 2 video cards in one pc and I think bridging them together

Do you have any experience with SLI/CrossFire? 

no... when I built my pc (almost 2 years ago I think) I just based it around my cpu (amd athelonx3) and made sure I got a motherboard that would allow me to use 16gb of ddr3 ram... I reused some parts like tower, psu, cd drive....

yeah when I rebuilt mine I just wanted to replace my ram and cpu on current build... but soon found out that my motherboard didn't support either of the items I was wanting LOL
it was my first (and only) time building a PC from scratch, went better than I was expecting tho!

Huge PC gamer.

Thanks to Steam sales + Pezus + Shinobi + Xypher (both pezus and shinobi know who dis is) + humble bundles = I am a PC gamer now.


Been a PC gamer since Nov 2012 so its gonna be my 2 year anniversary :O

(Although I have shamefully played "PC" games via MMOs in the past >_>....never again.

Currently playing both The King of Fighters XIII Steam Edition and Mass Effect 1 - both on Steam of course.

I miss playing with you guys and just chilling out on axon :(

Its a shame that we ended up playing different games...plus i always bring the lag with me XD

My laptop came with two.

One is an intel HD 4000 and the other is an Nvidia GeForce GT 630M (1 GB GDDR5)

ACIII is still on mine too lol. Never played it. Bad word of mouth has kept me from buying

Price has kept me from buying it.

I'll get it when the Deluxe edition/gold edition or w/e its called is the same price as AC brotherhood/Revelations.

I think I saw it for $5 recently. The basic version that is

AC 3 sucks...Extremely boring in my opinion.

Sands of Time is an amazing game. Loved it back in the day on my PS2, and I recently replayed it on my PC as well.

I've completed only one...AC1.

Surprisingly, it was my most hated game (possibly most hated game EVER) and yet it was the only AC game I completed. I tried AC2/3/Black Flag and either Revelations or Brotherhood I don't remember which one exactly.

AC1 was.....OKish but I guess I would of been more impressed if I didnt play it in low settings (due to the fact that I didnt have a good GFX card when I first played it) - AC2 was fantastic! I'm playing AC Brotherhood now and loving it!

It was too repetitive. The graphics part didn't bother me at all, it's just the entire game was go to a city, do some of the same boring mission to reveal your target in the city and go kill him. Rinse and repeat for literally the entire game. I mean I understand it's an "Assassin" game and you're supposed to kill people, but at least they should have had some better side missions or something so the game wouldn't feel so repetitive.

Planning on getting a GTX 770, or depending on the price a GTX 870 when it comes out. 

Psh.  GTX 870, so last gen. 
GTX 970 though!!!   That's where it's at. 

There's only 970 -_- ( vs 870)

Walking Dead video game is overrated.

Yeah come at me

I agree - it shouldnt be Game of the Year - it should be Story of the Year though :P

Btw I rated it 89 out of 100!

Walking Dead video game is overrated.

Yeah come at me

Shamelessly copied from GAF  8)

----

Finished The Walking Dead Season 1 along with its 400 days DLC.

Dem feels.

Started on Half-Life 1.....non-source...always wanted to play a HL game lol - man dat nostalgia though of the 1990s shooters.

Also downloaded Darksiders 2 - will play it through October just in time for the season ;)

Darksiders 2 isn't very halloween like.  It's very bland.

Opinions

We'll see about that @ being bland.

As for Halloween like - for me it is and more than enough reason to play it around this time of the year!

Basil I finished Darksiders 2, there's nothing Halloween about it.  It's very bland because the world's are all tube like.  You just get funneled from one area to another.


This is what 90% of the game looks like:


And this is one of the more colourful areas.  If you want Halloween, then look no further than this:

So are you telling me I should not play Darksiders 2 at all? If so you should know my answer to that...


Its still Halloween themed for me :o -  I dont care about the environment design of the game - I'm talking in terms of the theme of the game, cast, etc.

(I already played Medieval on PSP - didnt like it as much.)

Honestly Darksiders 2 is a pretty bad game.  Though, I'm not sure how you equate giant dwarves with Halloween...

About Medievil:

Demons, demons, demons.....ya I'm sure Darksiders is more like Thanksgiving and Christmas than Halloween  ::)

Anyways you shaddap ;( - I didnt like the gameplay for medievil.

Play the original you woman >:(

For what game?

Medievil

Bought Black Ops II because it was in the 10$ bin.

Never played a CoD game

HmmMmmmMMMmmm


Was it $10 on Steam or at a store?

60$ on Steam 
10$ in store.

PS Vita as a PC controller? 
Has anyone done it?

Is that even possible :o.

Possible?  In theory. 
Likely?  Yes. 
Likely to work well?  No.

PS Vita as a PC controller? 
Has anyone done it?

Added to my collection, even though I've played it already lulz

So what do you guys think?  Will my 560 Ti handle Dragon Age 3 at max settings running at 720p?

No idea - use this - it is what I use to decide whether a game is playable at high/max settings on my PC: http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=1883&game=Dragon%20Age%203:%20Inquisition

well this sucks dog, i been playing AC4 for like 3 hours, i quite the game to go get something to eat, started up the game again and then my save isnt there.

Ouch.

yeah it sucks. i tried starting a new game to see if it saves, it doesnt. dont know what im gonna do now :/

guess ill play transistor then.

Transistor is awesome. I love how you can combine abilities and debuffs.

well this sucks dog, i been playing AC4 for like 3 hours, i quite the game to go get something to eat, started up the game again and then my save isnt there.

Thankfully I built my own Bad-dog computer, so I can handle everything gaming!

Transistor was fantastic. I'd recommend it to everyone

I remember when Legend played it, he kept turning off the game whenever a teammate died. He made it through the whole game with no deaths, except for the scripted one at the very beginning of the game.

Wait, maybe I should have looked at the survey first...

In a few years we'll have MK8 playable on PC just like we have MKWii playable at 60 FPS already via Dolphin :P

I hope so.  :)

Oddly enough, I've been playing Mario Kart Wii on my PC using my dualshock 3 controller.  :D
I didn't say that.  ;)

Says $1.49 for me :O

Don't you already have it? It says you've played the game. Anyway, it should be free...It was for me lol.

Bioshock collection available for 12$ on Steam. 
All 3 games.

I would of gotten it but I bought Bioshock 1 + 2 collection off of Amazon for $5 last year :P.

Bioshock Infinite is $7.99 or somethin right? The season pass though....I think I'll wait a bit more for the price to go down - besides I still need to play bioshock 2 :P.

I missed it.  :(

I am hoping for Elder Scrolls Anthology to go on sale in Amazon. Friend bought it for $10 last year :(.

Anyways, played Evolve - recorded a bit too - uploading vid zzzzz

Done!

Far Cry 4

Just bought Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

It only started being $4.99 recently from what I've been told and its a hidden RPG gem that is exclusive to PC :o.

Will get to it.....sometime in the future XD.

Guys, I am willing to share my Steam library of 180+ games if anyone wants it (through Family Sharing). The person has to be trustworthy though and not a cheater/hacker

What is family sharing? I've heard of it on steam but never knew what it did. Someone can just play your entire game library? No strings attached?

I tried to play through it, I couldn't get past 10 minutes of the game.

So nobody wants it? Then I am out!!

Anyone play league of legends here? I recently started :)

Im gonna quit dota 2 since the fudgy russians are taking over the South African servers WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk!!!

But you say that about every western game though!

I would ask except I already own a third of the games you have + more that you dont have :O - and I wanna build my own collection as well and my own hours n_n.

But you say that about every western game though!

No, only old RPGs :P

It all becomes a part of your collection and only the games you don't already own. Even just two thirds of my games is still 120 games lol... Your own hours??

I just got UPS TRACKING INFORMATION!!!
THE HYPE IS REAL. 
IT'S SUFFOCATING. 

GOT MY CODE!!!!

Grats! What game did you get for your graphics card?

When I got my upgrade back in 2012 - I was suppose to get Far Cry 3 but they ran out of codes and gave me Sleeping Dogs so no regrets on that!

Far Cry 4. 
There's a page saying I can get Far Cry 3 Deluxe for 10$. 
Should I take it? 

I took it.  :(

You've never played FC3?

Whatswrongwithyou.gif

But thats temporary and not permanent though. Like you can always revoke status of having those games whenever you want, I want my own games D;

(I like seeing the number of hours I played from a game on my own account :P - addicted to the number of hours on Steam and 3DS xD)

Eh but I won't...
Also, you do accumulate your own hours and your own achievements and your own saves...

Also the catch with steam is that the person sharing cannot be on steam at all.

Essentially it's just that person logging in to steam on your computer, except made easier.

Does it include Blood Dragon? If so yes.

It does not.  :(
Oh well.

Anyone wanna play League right now

will add you tonight when i get home. Btw what servers to you play on? North America? Will you be okay to play on EU servers...?

Just found a game called Farming Simulator on Steam. And It's managed to do the impossible. It made me think a farming simulator looked fun.

I play North America. I can try EU servers I have no idea if I will lag or not because I've never played on them.

You will definitely have a high ping. I play from South Africa on EU servers with 170 ping.

I remember playing dota with Basil, who is in the US, on Eu servers and the ping wasnt playable if i remember correctly.

Dem days  8)

I've played a few matches years ago.

@Legend is way wrong. Don't trust him.

Why don't you want this now? I've explained the downsides (there are hardly any??)

When I authorize a device to lend my library to others, do I limit my own ability to access and play my games?  As the account holder, you may always access and play your games at any time. If you decide to start playing when another user is already playing one of your games, he/she will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.

Pff

If you start playing the same game he is playing...not any game. Trust me, I've tested this myself.

Trust me, I've tested it too...

K who wants to family share I have Left 4 Dead 2 and Payday The Heist

What does that gif even mean?

Just found a game called Farming Simulator on Steam. And It's managed to do the impossible. It made me think a farming simulator looked fun.

So why is Farming Simulator so popular D;?

It's not really. 
As Farmville proved, we all secretly want to be farmers.

You lied to me women ;(

My computer has been downloading for 8 days straight for all the games.

How many did you download and why?

8 games and slow internet.

The Witcher  - steam sale   2$
The Witcher 2 - SS  4$
Fallout 3 GOTY - SS 6.79$
Fallout New Vegas - SS 6.79$
Bioshock - Steam-ish Sale  5$
Bioshock 2 -Steam-ish sale 5$
Bioshock Infinite - Steam-ish sale 7.50$
Far Cry 3 - sale because of my Far Cry 4 voucher 10$

No I mean why you download all of them at the same time o.O.
I usually download a game - play/finish it then back it up game and save file to my external HDD - delete the game on PC but keep the save file - rinse and repeat with another game ;o.
Although I do keep a few games such as Left 4 Dead 2, CSGO, etc.
Those are some great games! Play bioshock 1 - its good ;)

Far Cry 3:

Looks like the Ubisoft games are back on Steam :OO

I think that considering no one uses Uplay because it's garbage that they need to go on a big marketing campaign and improve the service before they even consider moving away from Steam. Though I can imagine that they may very well lose a lot of sales even then because of how popular Steam is. It could also hurt Steam, though. They already lost EA titles after Origin came out. If any more big publishers pursue their own thing it could be bad news for Valve.

Probably a mistake or a change of heart?

Actually each time you play a ubisoft game that came out after 2009 - you are automatically using uPlay due to the fact that the DRM requires you to log in before you are able save or even play the game. Its much more forcing than GFWL where it just prevents you from saving a game but still play the game.

Haha. Goes to show what games I haven't been playing on Steam since then. I'm still not sure who it would be worse for. Ubisoft or Valve.

In terms of how the games are operating? I would say neither - the end user is the one who has it worse since they need both uPlay and Steam to be on to play one single game......

I mean in regards to which company would take the bigger hit from it. Would it be Ubisoft for making their games digitally available only through their own Uplay service, which no one seems to like, or Valve for no longer be able to offer Ubisoft titles?

Blizzard could just go make animated movies if they somehow fail in the games industry.

This is my first time using uplay. 
Does it have any redeeming qualities?

No idea, I never really used it other than for Assassin's Creed - whenever I load a game - it makes me auto update/patch and then log in - but other than that I've never really taken avantage of it.

I see.
Origin has free games. (only reason I like it.)

I now have a GTX 970. 

Demoed a benchmark
Before and after

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/8948685
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/8949485

Nuts, only downside is that it has coil whine. 

Lol, epic. Now test it in real games!!

Done.
I'm blown away.  Been using emulators, benchmarks, games. 
In the past, just one setting would've brought my computer to its knees and now I'm putting everything up and it's taking it like it's nothing. 
Low settings with edge AA made Kingdom Hearts unplayable. 
Now, I've got that, a bunch of other things and everything is still playable.  I have these games running at 6x native resolution.  These games look amazing.

What were you running with before this?

Intel HD 4600 was the before. 

Holy moly. Definite upgrade.

Next thing I want to do is get a bluetooth adapter so I don't need to be tied to my computer with my PS3 controller. 
After that I'll have the perfect set up.
-48 inch HD TV
-Awesome graphics card
-comfort of bed while playing




Also I'll be getting Far Cry 4 for free download a week from today. 
Far Cry 3 is having issues though, can't get it past the start screen. 

Nice! That's the type of PC gaming I'd really love to get in to.

Also have you thought about buying a DS4? It just feels so good compared to DS3.

Lots of people with the same issue with not a lot of help.
But I figured it out on my own.  validating the files fixed it.

Lol get a close up shot of the fruit/vegetable stands in Bioshock Infinite. I thought they looked pretty good until I got closer to them haha

I love the Bioshock games, at least of what I've played.

Has anyone used HumbleBundle?

I finished the first bioshock on Steam during the summer this year.

And yes I've used humble bundle
(http://i.imgur.com/L9pY52z.png)

I finished the first one, and played parts of Infinite. 
I don't believe you, woman!!!
Pics or it didn't happen... oh wait.

Did you add me on Steam?

You should try modding Skyrim. Super easy and well worth it.

Awesome purchase Pi.
You are already ready for next-next gen level.

Yep, its awesome :D
First time I've ever had a gaming PC.

Add me on steam too!!!
Also Infinite is pretty good as a game. I enjoyed it.
Where are you in the game right now?

What's your steam?

Spoiler for Hidden:

A little after getting Elizabeth and past the beach.  The part with the evil Abraham Lincoln painting. 

Really? I guessed you had a gaming PC before :D

[hide]VizionEck[/hide]

Really. :D
This is my third computer. 
First one, I got in 2008 or so, was running a Pentium 4.  Wasn't even able to run Age of Empires 3.  But I did play Age of Empires 2. 
Second one, I got a year ago or maybe 2 now, CPU was much better. 
It was a Athlon X2 6000+/Radeon HD 4200.
Age of Empires 3 yes, but any game newer than 2008 or so was a no no.

So my first 2 computers I got from family members and were outdated by quite a bit. 

This year I decided I was going to build my own. 
-Intel i5-4690,  8 GB Ram
Got that far about 3 months ago, finally got a good GPU. 

-Intel i5-4690
-8 GB RAM
-GTX 970

So proud and happy with it.  :D

Nice1! All that for Hearthstone? ;OO

Any recommendations?

Haha, naw. Got it originally to play stuff like Skyrim and Titanfall. I can run pretty much everything at max settings and stay at 60fps.

Nice1! All that for Hearthstone? ;OO

Even Crysis 3? ;o

Pretty much lol.

Why would he own that lol.

My comp's pretty awesome.

Intel i7-4770k
16.0 GB ram
GTX 660
And running on a SSD

(http://cdn.overclock.net/f/f1/f174184a_raidmax_agusta_titanium01.jpeg)

For testing purposes

I wonder if I should get Enslaved for $5 on Steam. I have it on PS3 but the FPS/tearing was atrocious so I quit playing quite early.

I'm tempted too especially by dang Wright.

But I'm holding it off - looks too niche for my tastes and I love getting anime/waifu niche games...oh wait I probably shouldnt of said that outloud. Now I have to keel you women ;(

Too niche? It's an action game with a supposedly great story.

I more than likely used the wrong word lol

What is the correct word?? Too mainstream?

Battlefield 4 available on Origin Game Time! Play for free for a...week!

Why does this thread keep showing up as blue but no one has replied to me..

This is amazing.  It's so easy to connect my controller.  Its like exactly like connecting it to the PS3.  Just hit the PS button and you're pretty much done.  :D

Why does this thread keep showing up as blue but no one has replied to me..

;(

y u do dis

Isnt this similar to what they had last week?

Gonna be sweet.

5145

I was testing something.  :P

And did it work?

Nope.  Either it won't, or I didn't play enough. 

Well what were you going for exactly?

You know where you could change up some code in VGC, and then post in a different thread, even potentially one that hasn't been made yet?
That's what I was going for.  Seeing what, if any quirks VizionEck has. 

Yeah the only security holes we have are in the fancy profile pages. In there you can edit some code to change things up.

Everywhere else is locked up tight through a set of permissions. Before the server does anything, it checks if that user is actually allowed to do it.

I'm downloading some stuff on Steam, and it shows a peak of 173,753.4 GB/s. 
Hmmm, that doesn't seem right. 

I paid less than average because I don't care much about the added games, except Truck Simulator and my friend has that game in his library which he shares with me on Steam

But what if it is?!?

Truck..simulator ;(
wat
you dang casual

Truck simulator is the most hardcore game to ever exist.

On topic, my internet got an upgrade. 
A 300 MB download would have probably taken me an hour, now it takes much less than 10 min. 

A lot of screen tearing in the opening cinematic of Far Cry 4, as its running at 370 ish fps. 

anyone play starcraft 2?

Get some vsync gosh darnit!

Are quad core pointless now?

Well if you insist.  :D
As far as I've seen, no.  Still quite useful, but if you're going to be gaming quad core is almost minimum now as some games don't support dual core. 

I was thinking with all the future games coming out being built with 8 core in mind for the consoles that quad cores would be almost pointless in a years time.

Likewise Microcenter is selling a Western Digital 4 TB for $139.99 as well.

Both external harddrives.

I'm planning to buy the 5 TB one tomorrow so I can use as a backup for my games, videos, movies, music, etc :P

Ooooh. :o

You really didnt read. 
Sorry, systems.

I need another hard drive.  Thinking 3 TB with all these games.  :D

I hate trying to piece together a pc...  I found two parts i think im going with.

What about this ram?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ST1XB8668
Whats you're build again?

I'd look for different RAM.  DDR 3  - 1600
http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/memory_ga-990fxa-ud3.pdf
Look in the DDR3 1600 section, would probably be the best bet. 
This is what I bought. 
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4nkdgs
I ran without the GTX 970 for a while though. 

Why 1600? and not something higher?

Dude don't worry about RAM you can just download more from the internet later.

Best Buy is selling a Seagate 5 TB for $139.99

Likewise Microcenter is selling a Western Digital 4 TB for $139.99 as well.

Both external harddrives.

I'm planning to buy the 5 TB one tomorrow so I can use as a backup for my games, videos, movies, music, etc :P

Ooooh!

Anyone?

Nvidia

GTX 970?

yeah, i've been looking at that one too.

I do like the built in screen cap of the GTX 970, to bad i doubt i could hook the ps4 or Xbox One up to it, So i'd still need a capture card for those.

But they have it built in too, lol?? Or is that not enough?

Get a 980?

Anyone?

970* better value for the money imo

Sorry was at work. 
Get a 970.
The R9 290X is pretty similar in terms of performance, but use a lot of energy and get hot. 

He'll if I would have read more on the r9s before I went with the amd 8 core, I might have choose to go with Intel.

How's that?

Been having issues with my bluetooth adapter.  I don't know what to do!
The wi-fi half works perfectly, but the bluetooth half has been non working!

That sucks. Hey, do you have coil whine with your card? It seems to a common complaint on new egg.

Got Gunpoint for free on Gaf. Almighty gaf!

hype!

Why are these so tiny?

fixed!

Sweet.  8)
That's some good stuff. 

Ha, I was telling my boss about the pc I'm building and ge asked me if it would be better than the apple he just bought.

Lolwat

Lol I have some too

I ALREADY KNEW THAT, GOOOSH

21 games on Origin - and I didnt even buy a single one. (Most were On The House deals, Facebook/Amazon promotion, or Humble Bundle/gifts lol) .

Why you no tell me these deals?

how easy is it to get a ds4 working on a laptop?

Pretty easy.

hmm  i tried basically just plugging it in.  it finds it and sorta works, but all the buttons are kinda wonky.   trying to play ff8.  is there a way to button map?

hmm think i just found a way lol

hmm k i found that one,   i can get everything working outside, but inside ff8 the d-pad doesnt work.  must be an ff8 issue

Did you try XInput mapper? http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper . Works flawlessly. Can even change the color of the light and use the touchpad as a mouse!

hmm might fiddle aorund with that later, the one i had got the d pad working in other games just not ff8 lol so im blaming se.   its fine, its just to get me through a flights.  Im jsut happy i can play it offline, and get most of the controls.  i prefer the dpad for menus and combat but ill gt used to it

Far Cry 4 is super awesome with the DS4, because it actually takes it natively.  :D

But yeah, get DS4Tool or something.  I believe there's a couple different ones.

The one I linked to is the best, the BEST!!

That's DS4Tool.  :P

Wut, I don't think so!

DS4 tool does all that, and the source code section says DS4tool. 

Weird

On another note, I think I am going to buy Oculus Rift next March or so. 
If it's good at least.

K got it to turn on. My power supply is a piece of shame, the fan is rubbing something. But now I got no video..

Do you have sound?

Are you able to load your BIOS?

I think next march will be when the new/final dev kit is set to be revealed. I know I'll be getting one at least.

Would have got one sooner but I only have a laptop that I could play on right now. It runs games great, but that's at 900p(native screen size) 30fps. 1080p 75fps would kill the game visuals.

Hmmm, I was afraid of that when you said what you bought. 
Power supply, CPU and GPU are the three things you shouldn't go cheap on for a gaming PC. 
That's one of two reasons why I'm waiting till March.  At least that's the biggest one. 

@the-Pi-guy I told you to get the ui based version:

Web: http://dsdcs.com/portfolio/software-development/4-ds4windows

Forum: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4Windows-Another-fork-another-thread

The UI one gives you keyboard mapping, as well as profiles and auto updates.

Going to send the Mb and psu back. Already filed a rma with Newegg. I guess it will be about 3 weeks before I can try again.

I've been reading reviews on newegg, seems I wasn't the only one to get a one this way, no video no beep. But it has more good reviews than bad, if the next big the same I'll swap it for something else.

Omg.

I completely forgot about Payday 2

My friends want me to get Payday 2 AND Battlefield 4 which is on sale (or was I think) on Gamestop.

Saints Row IV GotC is on sale at a great price too :(.

Then there's still Crysis Maximum Edition and Quake Collection I still need to get n_n.

Dayum sons.

I think I'll be getting Payday 2 at least and then focus on the rest mentioned above for the summer sale next year.

I REALLY want Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands DDE though.

Also I have a feeling we may get a really good bundle on Humble Bundle...its gonna happen on Christmas too so :O.

Maybe a Origin or THQ style bundle and maybe under UBISOFT :O??? (one can dream).

That's some mad dough he is laying down

Unity bundle lol. All the AC games - pay what you want but pay over $30 to get free patches

I want payday too :((

Yeah because I want the game too lol.

Also, I won FEAR 3 on Gaf
FEAR 3 -- MB-3756636DCEB44034 - Taken by Pezus. 5 entrants total.

Now, i've probably spent 150$ on games.  Good grief! 
:P

Batman Arkham Asylum looks really ugly in the cutscenes.

Asylum looks fine to me ;o

Also dayum $150? wtf lol

Someone stop me!!!!
The game itself looks fine, but the cut scenes don't have the same quality.  Lot of noticeable aliasing.

Mirror's Edge (4)
Terraria (2)
Dishonored (10)
Black Ops (40)
World at war (10)
The walking dead (6)
Season 2 (6)
3d mark (5)
Batman (15)
Binding of Isaac (1) rounding up because I rounded down before.
Rage (5)
Castle Crashers (1.50)
Mass Effect (8.74)
How to Survive (1.50)

Plus some others. 

Half Life (5)
Orange Box 10?
Portal Bundle (10?)

Are these prices or scores?

Prices.

....so those are prices...some of them you could of gotten for REALLY cheap when and if they went down to a flash/daily deal o.O.

Like the Portal Bundle cost me $6.24 when I bought it over a year ago....

y u no wait for daily/flash sales?

Now, i've probably spent 150$ on games.  Good grief!

At least you don't have 197 Steam games like I do, plus the 50+ games a friend has shared with me (family sharing)

I went from like 5 games, 6 months ago to some 80 games.  :D

That's bananas

I think 15 or 20 of them are from humble bundles, but aside from that, a bunch of them are retail purchases or steam purchases.  Sometimes retail beats steam prices. :)

Not over here

Not over here

How seriously have you looked? 
I got Black Ops 2 for 10$ at Walmart.  Never seen Steam get that low.

Not that seriously but I just know that prices never drop that low in stores here. If they do drop a lot it's for games that came out eons ago

There's also The Elder Scrolls Anthology, which comes with all games plus the DLC. 
Skyrim: Legendary Edition,  24$ on Steam sale right now.
Oblivion: Game of the Year, 14$ on Steam sale.
Morrowind, 12$. 
There have been better Steam sales for these I'm sure.  But that's 50$, at retail the whole collection is 40$ plus it comes with a sweet case!

How much was ESA?

I wanna get it on disc since Bethseda is being an bumb on the pricing of their games on steam.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Elder-Scrolls-Anthology-Pc/dp/B00E9I1FPI
30$
Plus this is the case. 

Spoiler for Hidden:

Every page is a game, Morrowind takes up 2 pages for all 4 discs.

Now, i've probably spent 150$ on games.  Good grief!

All Arkham games are pretty stiff for cutscenes.  It's obviously because its 30fps ;o

Not stiff. 
Aliasing is especially noticeable.
