    How often do you upgrade your system?

    Never really got that. I know just piece meal it through until I really fuck something up (last time I may have dumped an entire, and giant, glass of water into my computer while it was on and in a game [says the PC Editor of the site]).

    How often do you upgrade your system?

    Last thing I upgraded was my storage drive on the primary computer. 4 terrabytes for 100 dollars as a pretty sweet deal.

    Wow. We are going to have to find something worth giving away monthly, aren't we?

    Any other Hardcore PC gamers out there?

    Dedication? There is a free demo up on steam. I believe it goes up to level 20, which is when you start doing the "mount" stuff. You should really know if it has its hooks in you by that point

    ps3 vs ps4

    Honestly I try to think of PSN as my free game subscription that I way for. I spent way more on gamefly for way longer and never ended up with anything that I like nearly as much.

    DayZ terrifies me. I know for a fact it is one of those things that I will get into and wake up three months later, job less, alone, and in an internet cafe playing it. I am really hoping it goes on sale a ton on the next Steam sale so I can start the downward cycle.

    ps3 vs ps4

    Also all first party games. You have your Halos and the Forzas of the world, but that isn't going to stop Battlefield from being the best on PC (and designed from the ground up for it), and it isn't going to stop people from making games where they have to pay 0 licensing fees to anyone to make...

    How often do you upgrade your system?

    It depends on what you are talking about for upgrade. Hard drives kind of depend entirely on failures of other ones or just plain needs at the moment. That being said the best thing that you can do for your computer (gaming or otherwise) in terms of an upgrade is to get an SSD. That shit is...

    Quickly, Newegg.com or tigerdirect.com . Amazon is a good "baseline". When I finally broke from WoW i spent a ton of time wandering from one MMO to the next in search of something to fill the void, mainly because I refused to go back. Oddly Final Fantasy 14 has proven to be awesome and the...

    What PC games we all playing?

    I wrote a review of Heroes of Newerth when it first came out and they were charging for it. I adore the format of MoBA's but that one I felt had a huge issue with the community. It was unforgiving and everyone treated everything like it was ranked and their was money riding on it. The...

    I would never call myself "good" at any RTS. I just really really enjoy them. I don't think that any of us hate MoBAs at all. Personally I think they are super interesting and support the International (through the compendium) every year. I am awful at them, Spuds (no longer works here, but...

    The best thing you can do is start mid-tier and build up. The best part of Intel and the i3/5/7 chips is that as long as they are in the same series they all can use the same board. You can go cheap when you are first building it and get an i5 or i3 and get a better cpu down the road. The...

    Let me know how CIV 5 or any of the 1000s of other PC only games are treating you on any console.

    I mean... I am staff here. That probably doesn't "count". My day job is IT so I screw around with tech all day.

    ps3 vs ps4

    I have ALL systems. The PS4 does look about as good as a really good mid-tier PC, depending on the game. Avoid the XBONE. Interface alone lets me say that.

    What PC games we all playing?

    RAM is dirt cheap. Try looking around the end of the month, or even better, black friday. Try looking at sizes you might think are "to bigger" or "bigger than you want", mainly because they will normally be the same price as smaller sets or cheaper.

    Any other Hardcore PC gamers out there?

    I mainly buy ATI stuff. Lower power pull and they normally preform better for the price in all but the highest brackets.

    Spuds (former editor) would be hard pressed to be pulled away from anything but DoTA. He went to Korea to... Teach? It turns out that every corner there is an internet cafe, and while we think they are all playing StarCraft they are playing LoL. He kind of went a little nuts for MoBAs after...

    http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/916373-pc/70325026 Not the only post like that. The lead dev and writer came out and said that they did that stuff to try and push an agenda. Weird, fucked up stuff. Also note that it was not made by GearBox proper, but some other weird company.
