    I got NFS Rivals for £3 a month after launch because of a pricing mistake on Origin.



    ...and I actually liked the game, ended up buying most of the DLC.

    ghost games made nfs rivals and it was their first nfs they made. But nfs 2015 is looking like it will fix their reputation. And to bubbleawesome battlefield hardline was made by visceral games

    I totally get that, if I were a Scott I'd probably be into reenactments too. Also I used to listen to A.A. and can totally see someone drumming along with swords. It's not really metal but Burzum's Daudi Baldrs has a very medieval feel to it if you haven't heard it. It's a more classical type of album.


    As for those talking about NFS and EA... Just stay away from anything AAA really. Someone said something about people not knowing how to make fun games. Well that's what happens when businessmen make the decisions as to what gets made and what doesn't. They also set insane deadlines which cause features to get cut and horribly unfinished games to be released. If you want funs games you need to look for games.. Well games like beamNG. Indie games are where the fun is because AAA despite having lots of money to spend on making cool games instead spend around half of their total budget on marketing instead of giving R&D that largest 50% chunk.

    Most fun games I own (in no particular order): Crimsonland, Road Redemption, Speedrunners, BeamNG.Drive, Overgrowth, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, Serious Sam 3, Prison Architect, Doorkickers, Besiege, The Stanly Parable.

    Back then in the good old SNES days everything was way simpler and generally better.
    If you wanted a good game you could pretty much pick up anything.
    The SNES was IMO the best time for gaming, there was none of the BS that there is with games today.
    Some of the best games I've ever played are SNES games, ie. Super Mario World, the original Mario Kart, StarFox and many more.
    If I could I'd just go back to the 90's, but since there's no fully functional DeLorean yet I'll have to wait.

    --edit--
    I'm gonna watch the Exorcist with a friend of mine.
    While I am gonna have to move my PC from my deks to the TV at the other side of the room, it's worth it.
    Thankfully only the PC needs an extra power cord, other wise I wouldn't have enough plugs at the other side of the room.

    Trying out the google handwriting keyboard thing, and I have to say, it does a good job of recognizing my sloppy handwriting.

    Also, there's the thunderstorm of the year right now, which is not so great.

    Yeah, I can't say I totally agree with this. I love indie games, and many of those listed in the above are wonderful and unique creations that deserve far more attention in the gaming community (you did get the Broom Closet Ending, yes?). But I've never been one to make or agree with extremely superlative statements, and Indie = Good/AAA = Bad is one such statement. Many of my most outstanding memories in gaming are from AAA games; the realization that I could smash through the first wall encountered in Red Faction Guerrilla, fighting on top of a moving train in Uncharted 2, masquerading in Lady Boyle's party in Dishonored, watching the shocking moment of Wheatley's corruption in Portal 2, or firing the final understated yet pivotal shot in Red Dead Redemption, just to name a few scripted examples. And no amount of business politics or cash grabbing can take those away from me.

    There are also a large number of claims in your post that are either over-general or unsubstantiated. Yes, business muddles the creative process. But businessmen can't profit off of creativity by stifling it; they are learning to distance themselves from developers. Yes, advertising and marketing does eat up a budget. But 50% sounds kinda steep even for how much television spots cost. And yes, there is bound to be more waste in AAA development. A bigger machine is always going to lose more energy through heat, but the solution is not always a smaller engine.

    I bought this very beautiful women's Venetiaurum pendant necklace to wear when out and about. I really enjoyed wearing it today when i was out and about with my friend Crissie. My glass pendent has the colors blue, silver and orange in it.

    My 8320 is pretty fun to overclock so I can see what you're getting at. I just like that feeling of hitting 5GHz. And then that disappointment when it overheats badly with my thin 120mm AIO. (The absolute max speed I can hit is 5.2GHz which I achieved by putting high speed blower fans in front of the radiator and shoving as much voltage into it as I could.)

    looks at Fallout 4
    Nah, I'll keep my AAA games, thank you.

    Many AAA games are very good, it's shit companies that make the whole industry look bad. I'm looking at you, Ubisoft/EA.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I love that feeling when my CPU at 4GHz is faster than the highest end AMD CPU at 5.5+
    And when it doesn't even hit 60C with my 212 Evo

    - - - Updated - - -

    I thought I'd try Fallout Shelter.

    >got the game
    >played for a little while

    Mine stays under 50c at 4.2GHz. It's when I really get up there in the high 4GHz range that the temp starts rocketing.

    Cortana doesn't usually make any mistakes, but today I told it to call dad and instead it called one of my friends named brad. :|

    I don't understand why people use voice commands so much anyway.
    IMO it's much easier to take the 3 taps on the touch screen required to call someone than go through the process of activating voice control and speaking to it.
