    Breaking into the gaming / programming industry

    Start making games. Right now. As in make pong this afternoon if you've never made it before. This part however isn't good news, game programming is a lot of staring at code, so if you don't love programming it will be so much harder to actually finish games than it would be otherwise, so...

    Recommend me a MOBA and an MMO

    For a moba that isn't Dota. Strife just went into open beta and I'm genuinely surprised by it. It's got bits that I love about both Dota and LoL and highly recommend it after my first 2 games. I'm going to stick with Dota overall, but as you don't need to unlock heroes in Strife I feel I'll...

    Reccomend me an MMO to play this summer

    What's the end game like? Are there the standard dungeons and raids to do or is it mostly just PvP at max level? I've been looking at Guild Wars for too long to have not actually picked it up yet. Final question, do you think they will release an expansion soon or do they make enough from...

    Program giving a quote upon starting?

    If I was going to have something like this I'd use Rainmeter and have it change according to the date. That way it can easily start as the computer starts, but also be a part of your background so it doesn't go away just as the computer loads, then it can be in whatever Warhammer font you...

    Dota 2 community adds over a million dollars to this year's International prize pool in 14 hours.

    I'm loving the compendium, I'd have likely watched the games anyway but having this really gets you more involved a lot more with the predictions and prizes and what not. That's besides all the items and boosts that come with it. Also I'm going to bed now, and I'm almost certain the new game...

    Poll: Are Audiobooks Shameful?

    I love audiobooks, but only listen to them whilst I'm walking. I occasionally have them alongside the book so that I read when I'm at home and listen as I travel, but usually it's just one or the other. I wouldn't sit in bed listening to a book though, that's what books are for. Also I...

    Dragon Age Origins low fps

    Other games running fine? You clearly should be able to run this maxed with frames to spare.

    You already did with the title... I saw this title and just closed the tab and attempted to forget, but then watched the episode knowing half of what happens. Think about your titles man...

    Good MOBA to start with

    There's a "limited hero" pool mode in dota where it allows only the simplest/easy to play and understand heroes, you should be playing there to start with if you get overwhelmed by hero complexity seeing as not only will you only have easy to play heroes, the enemy will have exactly the same...

    Good MOBA to start with

    I think to just give MOBAs a try and see if you like them it's better to play about with DOTA and bots first over LoL, almost for the only reason that you have every hero given to you from the very start and you don't need to pay money or grind IP to unlock characters, so if there's someone you...

    Let's talk about DotA 2 and its balancing issues.

    Snipers tend to buy shadowblades as they have no getaway ability.

    Let's talk about DotA 2 and its balancing issues.

    There is so much here I don't know where to start. I will say you're wrong and the game doesn't need anything like the severe changes you're suggesting, then just pick a few things to quote and comment on. Yes. Exactly. There's a huge learning curve to this game, that's a massive part of it's...

    Is playing FPSs on the PC worth it anymore?

    Can we not judge PC FPS on Call of Duty: Ghosts? I'm not going to go into detail about why I dislike the game but it's generally known to be a shitty port, whereas FPS games actually made for PC outshine it by miles. Since CoD started taking out PC specific stuff like leaning and basic stuff...

    Does microsoft get some profit from games made for PC?

    Only for GWFL games, and nobody wants GFWL to be attached to a game they're anticipating. Thankfully it's dying next month I think. (edit: "discontinued on July 1, 2014" says wiki) So to answer some of your questions, they did try, we got worse ports, Microsoft please stay away from the...
