    Press Release Frostpunk, Survival City Builder, Launches Today

    I got four episodes of it (roughly 15 minutes each) on my Youtube. Not sure if I can link here, so PM me if you're interested in seeing some gameplay.

    Exceeding VRAM.

    Yea Origins is on mediums but mostly low's I believe. Far Cry 5 is on low EVERTHING and still looks mostly fine. I tried all the tricks but I'm still getting that annoying screen tear on Origins. Vsync usually fixes it but it didn't seem to here when I lowered the resolution. It was playable...

    Exceeding VRAM.

    I've begun trying to save up for a new graphics card that will allow me to run current games better than I can handle. Back when my graphics card fried, my local computer place replaced my card with a 1050 (Upgraded from a 960 at the time) but apparently it only had 2 GB's of VRAM. Well, that's...

    I found it a bit uneven. Their plot kind of hauled ass and I found it jarring. Also they omit a lot of the more gross shit he did and tried to paint Tommy in a more sympathetic light and pretty much erased most of Greg's real-life reasons for doing the movie (he needed money). I just hope people...

    The Disaster Artist - 4/5 Very, very readable. It flows very well and blew through it in a couple of nights. My only complaint is that I stopped kind of caring about Tommy Wiseau as a man and the last few chapters regarding the background of him and Greg meeting up... I skipped. Once I read...

    Do you still base your game purchases on whether Yahtzee recommends it?

    I used to, at least on a few occasions but not always. Let's Plays are my primary source of judgement now. I want/need to see the first ~15 minutes of a game to know if I'll like it or not. Many times, character creation is very important to me and I want to see if I can at least choose female...

    Poll: What is your most anticipated upcoming FPS?

    I wish I could get excited about Far Cry 5 but the environment looks so goddamn bland to me. It might be because I'm in Virginia and could pretty much drive ten minutes to find areas that look exactly like any of that.

    At what point do you stop taking other people's arguments seriously?

    I look for fallacies. Ad Hominem is a huge one. Example: "Wow you're an idiot!" False Equivalencies are harder for me to spot but some are obvious, like comparing weed possession to treason. Example: The current political climate. False Dichotomies, when people think there's only two...

    Zero Punctuation: Hand of Fate 2

    I've only done a couple hours and a few adventures but I'm not sure how the deck optimization thing works. I still can't seem to get those six goddamn blessings for that damn empress because it will either autoconsume one when something relevant happens or I'm too short on gold to buy one at the...

    Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed Origins

    Beat it a couple days back, I enjoyed it. I beat it at level 38 and find it hard pressed to find anything else to actually do. I?m sure there?s several skipped sidequests, a few strongholds gone undiscovered and unmolested by knives and otherwise many landmarks and hunting opportunities...

    New game releases - Week of October 8, 2017

    I bought the silver edition of Shadow of War with a 25% off, so 60 instead of 80. A bit much but some reviews are coming in and I'm hearing good things. I hear it's more of the same ideas but expanded on, exactly what a sequel should be doing. Sounds like a lot of fun.

    What do you think are the most overrated video games of all time?

    I never got on the Halo hype train. I played the first one a fair amount on PC and enjoyed it, I have a fond memory of getting banned from a server for going 70-3 by killing everyone on a warthog and they could just NOT kill me, occasionally getting me with a rogue grenade. Played and beat...

    ATTN: Game of Thrones book readers

    Misinterpreted then. I'm very sick.

    ATTN: Game of Thrones book readers

    Comparing them to 'well trained dogs' still vexes me to a small degree, as I don't understand how they can maintain their composure sometimes and not bother in others. You tell a trained dog "no" and it sits down and shuts up. These dragons... do not, and I'm really wondering what's keeping them...

    ATTN: Game of Thrones book readers

    No spoilers are really involved, my question here is general lore related, nothing plot-relevant. I want to ask about Dany?s dragons. Exactly how intelligent are they? The scene where Drogon snaps at her for vaguely interrupting their dinner keeps popping in my head as it seemed to...
