    Gaming in your 40s

    Well folks I’m a youthful 66 and I’ve had a plum job for the last 22 years that afforded me to work from home. Thus I’ve been able to not only have plenty of gaming time but also plenty of time to do all the things you do with your kids as a parent as well as plenty of time with my wife. After...

    Visage. First-person psychological horror. Spiritual successor to P.T.?

    Not familiar with "P.T." but I've played the "Amnesia" and "Penumbra" series and I've had about 50 playthroughs of Alien Isolation. The rebooted "Resident Evil" series has also been a joy. "Visage" is the most "get under your skin" scarry as hell game I've ever played. The setting, a home, is...

    Do you feel gamers have become "soft?"

    I'd agree with this. Times change with gaming like anything else in life. People are busier, older, but still want to put time into a game with some challenges. But to spend countless hours trying to figure things out for one boss fight is just a disrespect of a person's time in today's world...

    How limiting is my CPU on a planned GPU upgrade

    Here's a site I just learned of a few days ago - https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ . You might find it helpful but if not, it's a nice way to pass the time imagining different configurations and how they might work together.

    Is SLI worth it in 2017?

    No, plain and simple. Invest in a high end card and spend more time gaming rather than dealing with the pros and cons and troubleshooting of an sli rig.

    Old timers : Do you REALLY enjoy the games today like past games?

    I enjoy the games a LOT more. But I am a nostalgic kinda' guy. What I do miss is going in the store to buy a cd of the new game and going through the install process manually. The buying of a game was more ceremonious. I'm the same with movie rentals. Going in to the video store and sometimes...

    So are you more obssessed with PC hardware than Video Games

    Games. I was a hard core Microsoft flight simmer till I played Arkham Asylum. Flight simulator was a lot about pc tweaking and config file editing. I said enough and started playing real games. I enjoy building a new pc every few years but it's games for me.

    Anyone finish Alien Isolation?

    Finished it months ago and I've played through it a least another half dozen times since. It's been on my mind a lot lately and tempted to do another couple of playthroughs. I played on hard each time and never felt frustrated. I'm thinking it's certainly one of my top 3 all time favo r it games.

    Why do we buy more games when we have a big Steam Backog?

    Interesting thread. I have a backlog of maybe one game. That's the original Half Life which I've installed but never played. I learned a while back not to buy games until I'm actually ready to play them. Yeah, that means watching a bunch of Steam sales and not buying but it keeps a bit more...

    UPlay - How much of a Pain is it?

    From roughly 3 of the Assassin's Creed games, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell Blacklist earlier this year, I never had one ounce of trouble with Uplay.
