    Giveaway Win a Lenovo Legion Monitor, keyboard, mouse and more from PC Gamer!

    NBA 2K12, of all things. It was my first Steam purchase, and it played at 60 fps at max settings, even on my iMac's GTX 8800 GS (512MB). The difference between that and the console version the year prior absolutely stopped me in my tracks.

    Question Dr Disrespect - Love him or hate him?

    I never much cared for celebrity news, but I'll admit this is kinda fun to watch unfold. When I first heard of him I thought he'd be too obnoxious to watch, but his over-the-top character was actually entertaining, even if that wears off quickly.

    Question What games rekindled your love of PC gaming?

    NBA 2K12 - OK I know, but just hear me out here: I was a "PC" gamer on the Mac in the '90s and early 2000s, and loved it, but eventually I tired of the struggle of trying to game on that platform and went full console.

    Weekend Question: What was the best game on your school computers?

    NetTrek - my middle school in the early '90s had black-and-white screen Mac Plus computers networked, and while I stayed after school waiting on my teacher mom, a couple friends and I played this Star Trek inspired exploration/Asteroids-style combat game. I vaguely remember some kind of mining...

    STILL trying to find time to game between cooking, cleaning, fixing things around the house, working out, and managing 5 teenagers' schoolwork-from-home assignments. Oh and sleep.

    What did you play last week?

    Finally peeled myself away from Destiny 2 and took on Jedi Fallen Order. Zipping through it, and glad it’s fairly short, because I’m not loving it. Got Wolfenstein II New Colossus in the last steam sale, looking forward to tackling that next before I spend the rest of my life on RDR2

    Competition Win an EPIC Black Edition gaming chair from noblechairs!

    F/A-18 Korea, a flight sim from the late ‘90s that I sunk WAY too many hours into (and also convinced me I was Maverick). I could still tell you how to masterfully operate that radar.
