    What are your favorite Easter Eggs?

    Getting this probably coincides with a divorce. It's a bundle.

    The PC Gamer Quiz (Ongoing)

    6/11 on the last one. I knew some of them for sure, but a lot was just guessing.

    That's interesting, I've never smelled any of my UPS' in the past. Just recently got a new one, which is sitting directly on my PC case, but yeah, no smell there either. Maybe it's the brand I buy though, which is APC; not terribly impressed with the brand, but they're about all I can find...

    General Game Discussion for May 2026

    I did reinstall the demo for HoMM: Olden Era and a few compliments for it: It runs really well. Works great on the 8th Gen i7 and 1060, High Graphics, 1200p. Seems to run solid, with maybe a few frame dips (I'm sure that's my PC's fault). I like that during a battle, it shows the unit health...

    That is fancy! It must cost tens of thousands. BTA is really good. I definitely need to reinstall that on my new machine, even though it'll probably run like ass. What's cool is all of that is in the tabletop game; BTA brings Battletech closer to that experience. Though it's nice because in...

    General Game Discussion for May 2026

    I've heard lots of good things for awhile now. Have not tried the demo, but I'm a sucker for FPS, I don't think I'd hate it in anyway. The new Heroes of Might and Magic game came out, which I'm tempted by, but it's pretty expensive for me at the moment and when I tried the demo about a year...

    General Game Discussion for May 2026

    I should probably give this one another chance. It does seem interesting, but I'm pretty picky when it comes to FPS; though I really have no excuses, considering I already own it. Strongly considering buying Wizordum and Dark Forces remaster right now. But I probably shouldn't, because I'm...

    Since Zed doesn't want to TMI anymore, looks like the crown falls to me. And since I know you're all interested in my personal laptop saga, I've got some thoughts about this Surface Book 2 after using it for a few hours: Dislike: Ctrl and Fn are swapped for me. Technically, this is Lenovo's...

    I saw the mistakes and such in the image, but it doesn't bother me, I think it looks pretty cool. What I think is actually funny is that it kind of tells you what the average age of the users here are, given the floppies, CRTs and discs.

    Really quite interesting. I don't know a ton about the Air War, nor do I explore it much right now, so it's fun to read a little fact about it. I think the philosophies of the different armies was quite interesting, though I can really only relate it to tanks. Obviously the Germans were...

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    I had exactly the same thoughts. Seems like a fantastic idea and I remember PC Gamer magazine back when it first came out absolutely raving about the first game and then later the second, but yeah it just didn't work for me. I was pretty damned disappointed about that.

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    Man, I wish people would just come to me with work. I mean, sort-of. I don't particularly want to work, but it would be nice to have the income and would help us with our retirement accounts. I can't even get my foot in the door these days.

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I didn't want to mention it when you were first getting into Homeworld, so as not to discourage you, but I felt similar. By the 6th mission or whatever I got to, I was so overwhelmed with needing to manage my fleets in three dimensions, that I just got...

    It is my klutziness and carelessness combined, really. Cords everywhere. My knees feel like your feet. I went out last night and wore my boots, because it was supposed to be rainy (which it was), but I think I walk weirdly in them or something, because they tend to aggrevate my arthritis much...

    Yeah, you never know the maintenance records of folks out there. Supposedly the transmission in my van is no good, but it's still going well at 250k. But I do like you do and try to take care of it; fluid changes and filter changes. Relatively recently my parking brake cable snapped, so before I...
