    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    Yeah unfortunately I've just got too much of the hardcore raid mentality in me. I quit playing not long after the LFR feature was implemented in Cataclysm and found the experience to be somewhat frustrating. I had a tough time playing in those raids because the overall quality of player was...

    Do you like single player or multi player content better?

    I like it when people take the time to learn the basics of a game before hopping in to multiplayer. It's just respectful of other player's time because there's nothing worse than getting a guy who has never played before on your team that just ends up losing the game for you because of their...

    Games You Are Bad At

    I'm absolutely terrible at SuperHexagon. I can get like 6 seconds in to it before losing and while it's a somewhat enjoyable 6 seconds, the lack of improvement has caused me to drop the game quicker than I dropped the $1 or so to buy it.

    RAM cards?

    I'm currently running 16GB of memory and rarely max it out unless I'm also working on my virtual machines. This is coming from a user that uses tabbed browsing heavily, often having 80+ tabs open at any given time. Even newer games won't be burning through 16GB of RAM - I think for the average...

    I bought an R9 270x in store, do I get the AMD Promo key?

    I've read that AMD's support is able to verify ownership through the serial number of the card, so you should be okay there. The only confounding factor is that the slip with the printed key is not associated with the card itself, so they will not know whether or not you're just pretending to...

    Do you like single player or multi player content better?

    Multiplayer without a doubt. I find that I lose interest in single player games very quickly because they're often quite easy to master without the added factor of human interaction. There's nothing quite like outsmarting a human opponent or simply destroying them with superior reflexes; AI gets...

    Star Citizen

    The game itself actually scales down reasonably well. I was getting around 20 fps on a lower end gaming computer before I upgraded with medium settings. It's not super smooth, but still playable. After I upgraded (to a 660Ti, which is an old GPU by today's standards) I'm able to play on high at...

    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    I'm not sure if WoW is something I could get back in to at this point. I just end up getting overly committed to a raid schedule and farming up the marks of the month to get the tier gear. I prefer games that aren't second jobs nowadays haha. I do get rather nostalgic about WoW every so often...

    Star Citizen

    Well on the plus side the fundraising of Star Citizen shows that the crowd sourcing model is an effective way to cut out the major costs of a publisher. It's a proof of concept that opens the door for a lot of other companies to do the same, assuming they can incite the same fervor for their...

    Which games have the best PvP?

    It just bothers me a little that I'm being relegated to the masses after being one of the players that actually bought the originally released game. I mean, I don't plan on going back to the game as it feels rather dated now, but it still bothers me to an extent when a studio will turn its back...

    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    I got my Iron-Bound and Rusted Protodrakes after my guild cleared ICC hardmodes and finished 0 lights some time soon after that. It was a lot of fun at 80. Some of the parts were made far too easy in ICC HM gear, but there were still some issues with the mechanics when not executed properly. I...

    December Steam Game Contest

    Farming Simulator 2013: Bought 4 copies with friends. 3 hours later, we were just ramming each other in heavy machinery. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

    League of Legends

    Yeah, my issue with that is simply that the turn rates makes the game control feel somewhat sluggish. I'm used to having my character (in any game genre) react instantly to my commands. Think FPS games like Quake where a keystroke or mouse movement is reflected instantly ingame, without having...

    League of Legends

    When I say locked turn rate, I mean that heroes are only able to turn at a certain number of degrees per second. This means that if I were to click from left to right, each hero would take a different amount of time to actually turn around. This differs from League in that the heroes would...

    CONTEST - Prizes to come!!! Cash, gaming gear..

    I'm a little confused as to what you need to do to enter - is it just simply make a post? If so, does this particular post count as an entry?

    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    The problem I have with leveling and quest content is that it gets old rather quickly. You can only play through the quests so many times before you've seen all the quest hubs and have done them multiple times. This is especially true of people with multiple alts. After the initial leveling...

    League of Legends

    I tried getting in to Dota2 but found the way it controlled to be a little too clunky for my liking. I think the thing that really put me off was the locked turn rates for various champions. I understand that it likely increases the skill cap and requirement for good positioning, but it felt...

    Star Citizen

    I think a lot of people view Star Citizen more as an enormous multiplayer sandbox rather than MMO. I mean, the technical definition would fit well within the confines of MMO, but the general tone in forums and discussions in general has been of that idea that we're going to be populating a...

    Star Citizen

    Well, just FYI then the game is in a state that has playable content, with more coming online soon. Though, if you're the type that loses patience easily you'll probably be better off waiting on full release since the game is still a very long way off from being completely ready. Optimistic...

    Favorite Bond game?

    Goldeneye - without a doubt. It's just one of those classic games that reminds me of cramming a bunch of friends on a couch playing split screen multiplayer, howling with laughter as Oddjob ran around trying to slap Jaws' knees. There were so many great memories and friendships that originated...
