Starbound?

It is an outstanding game in my opinion. I don't usually play a single player game multiple times but i did with this one.

Exactly. I got in in the last round and am had a lot of fun trying all the characters. Seems the gameplay should be pretty smooth and I like the variety in the skills so far but tough to tell how great the game will be with only being able to level to 13. Best thing I can say is that I am as...

Cant get connected either.

Bastion. I love the narration and music in the game. Really tells a good story without being over the top. The gameplay is simple but fun, and as said earlier, you can adjust the challenge based on the idols activated. I am playing through this a second time which something I almost never do...

Received a free copy of Terraria through the Orcs achievement today - that or the one for simply checking out the Great Gift Pile. Anyone have a copy of Bunch of Heroes or Dungeon Defenders they want to trade?

You guys are probably right; doubtful I'd get fired but still. Wife would absolutely kill me if that happened! I've thought of getting a personal laptop but don't like the idea of travelling through the airports with two.

Thanks for the link Majinhoju. Certainly looks like I should be able to get at least some gaming in. Hard drives are cheap anyway so it's worth the effort. cmadki4 - I'm friend with our local IT guy but he is nervous about his boss. I'd feel bad asking him to allow me admin rights.

Unfortunately, everything I can access on the machine shows no trace that anything but the intel integrated is present. Here are a few more details: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 Report Date: 11/16/2011 Report Time[hr:mm:ss]: 13:30:27 Driver Version: 8.15.10.2347 Operating System...

Got a question for your collective expertise. My work laptop was recently replaced with a Dell Latitude E6420: Intel i7-2620 @ 2.7, 4GB RAM, Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics, 14 in. screen @ 1366x768. Corporate IT doesn't trust us engineers and has these things locked down so I can't...

That has to be the problem - you can only have 4 spells learned at a time. To free ip a spot, control click on one of the spells (on your character page I believe) and it will unlearn it.

Wow! Awesome setups.

Max Payne 2 was one of the few games I have ever played through beginning to end multiple times. Hope this one lives up to the last.

Force has a new video up about the talent calculator and updated website. Then at the end he back tracks a bit on his "closed public beta will begin this week," statement.

I'm the exact same way. Tried to get a friend of mine to play it online last night but he couldn't handle the old graphics. The gameplay is still fun enough for me.

So Gamersgate has Civ 5 on sale today for $17. Do you think the Steam Summer Sale will match/beat that price at some point before it's over?

Thanks for the quick answers.

Hey all. I can't post in the hot deals thread about the deal but as is posted Amazon is selling all versions of DA2 for $40. I wasn't going to buy at full price, but at 40 I will. Does anyone know if I purchase the game through Amazon, can I activate it on steam?

Why shouldn't I ride the Metro? I know nothing of any dangers there. Should I not do my part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? So what if I need to carry an assault rifle. Sign me up!

Awesome help. Great tip on the cooling too; I didn't consider that. This is why I look to these forums for help. Thanks Shadowssong

Thanks again everyone for helping me with my build. I have been absolutely loving it. My Samsung monitor crapped out on me (never wants to come out of power save) and so I upgraded to a 23" Acer at 1920×1080. All the games I have been playing are still running fine at high settings with the...

Couldnt pass it up at $20,

Hey all. Hoping you guys might be able to help me with a problem. I have a roughly 4 year old Samsung 17 in. LCD hooked up to a new rig I built 2 months ago. I don't have the LCD model in front of me as I am at work currently. I am using a XFX HD5770 video card. The last few days, when I...

Just about the same.

I wish it was back up so I could make it 5,000,001.

Wow, some pretty harsh responses to a rather mild topic. I typically just revert to gamefaqs if I get stuck but I think some of you with all the venom are missing the OP's point. He likes having the physical media, something to display, and it provides some reading not only while gaming...

Great. That would want to make me stick to single player. Hopefully I'll just run into mature, respectful online players when I give MP a shot. :eek:

The first hour I was playing I stopped at some random campsite to listen to the conversation. I didn't know which horse was mine and got on the wrong one. Within about a second I was lying in a pool of blood after taking a shotgun blast to the head.

While I don't dispute that games often look better and play better (mouse + keyboard) on computers; that doesn't mean gaming on a console can't be a great experience. If every game created came out at the same time on PC and consoles I wouldn't own a PS3. Unfortunately the PS3 has some great...

Also Far Cry; may have to load that one up again when I get some time.

Picked this up at BB saturday for $50 price matching the Frys deal. Only gotten a few hours of single player in but it is great so far. Looking forward to trying out some of the MP but the wife, kids, and especially work keep getting in the way. If anyone needs another for their posse on...

Any of the old Sierra _____Quest games but primarily the first two Police Quest games. I tried to play em again a couple years back and it just didn't match up to what I remember as a kid but fun to see them. Anyone else remember the agony of trying to determine what the correct command phrase...

No price difference either. Perfect simple looking case Shadowsong; thanks. Only reason I'm building one for them is I can't deal with having to go over there to fix another Dell.

Thanks for the imput. Went with the CM Hyper 212 Plus as suggested. Got it at the local frys for $30. Didn't realize when I bought I would have to pull the mobo again but oh well. Also dropped in three more 12cm fans (2 exhaust at the top and 1 intake on the side). As requested, here are...

Okay, need help with another build. This time for my wife's parents. Here's the details: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Web-browsing, email, general office functions, viewing pictures of the grandkids 2) What's your budget? Are tax and...

Thanks everyone for the help on parts. BC2 looks so much better at higher settings. One thing I noticed though when I game is that the CPU fan (stock) is running pretty loud. So I used Core Temp to get an idea of how hot it's getting and I was up to 61C which seems too hot to me. Do you...

Thanks for the advice. I'll stick with the single HDD then.

Well everything is ordered, but now I am thinking about adding a SSD. Went with the parts in the original post except used the G.Skill memory suggested by tiraides. Now to deal with waiting for the parts. Just curious though, if I added an SSD, how much benefit would I see? Would it be...

Awesome - didnt even notice the kingston was out of stock. Thanks.
