    Do you think games are getting too expensive

    Adjusting for inflation (yep, I'm that fkin guy) games are actually cheaper now. I paid 60-70$ cdn for Delta Force, Rainbow 6, Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon, Medal of Honor Allied Assault and all these other games back the day. Most games are still 60$. Super Nintendo games were 80 something...

    August 2023 Random Game Thoughts Thread

    At this point getting back into GTA online feels like leaving the house for a year and coming back to realize your parents went to clown school and opened a circus. Laser guns, flying cars, tron bikes. All this sci-fi crap is just weird.

    June 2023 Random Game Thoughts Thread

    I've been playing through all the Brothers in Arms game. Another series I read about throughout the years but never got around to play. It's been...interesting. Road to Hill 30 on difficult felt okay but overly ambitious for it's own good. The game hammers home how you need to suppress and...

    Weekend Question: Would you ever use a tiny keyboard?

    I actually really like how they look but no. I want all the damn keys whether I need them or not. Also, freeing up space is nice but I don't actually need to free up space, my desk is not cluttered at all. I play a lot of milsim games with tons of mods like Arma 3 that have the most insane...

    Your favorite stories in games

    System Shock 1 : Still think it's a pretty clever way to put a protagonist alone on a space station going to s***. Fallout 1 : No mention of stupid vault experiments that make no sense, no goofy Bethesda bull, no looking for a family member while fixing up a giant robot, just a guy coming out...

    Do non-gaming pals think you have a problem?

    It's only starting to get some respect as a form of artistic expression and legit media juggernaut, but gamers at large are still annoying as hell and don't help the hobby being recognized. With that said, video games have been sharpening my brain for decades. Problem solving, learning english...

    Heroes of Might and Magic 5 on hard is no friggin joke. The inferno campaign is crushing my nuts right now and it's the second one in the list :oops: I did HOMM3 on hard a few years ago and it was pretty enjoyable but right now it feels crazy like if you take one suboptimal decision during a...

    Yeah I had the tree respawn turned off because realism, and then decided I should build a staircase all the way down the sink hole, hugging the cliffside. The deforestation was massive. I didn't make many native friends doing this but the path to the hole was nice and clear. Only after did I...

    The Forest was fantastic, I'm sure they nailed it again. The building mechanic in that game was far more enjoyable than a lot of other games, albeit some advanced options were not exactly obvious and the UI could've been better. For example you could put a blueprint of wall of X type, and then...
