The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[Bomberooski]

I finally got back to playing The Witcher and saw that I haven't played it since September. I also realized that I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. Hopefully, things will start coming back quickly.

One of the worst feelings in gaming. I just had the same thing happen with Infamous 2.

Need a good game off steam to play on a not so great laptop while I'm watching sports... Is that specific enough

Don't think it's on steam. Can't find it anyway

Think he meant Organ Trail. Zombie-ish game.

Hit up kongregate.com or newgrounds.com if you're willing to stomach free flash games.

Otherwise, I think Steam might be able to hook you up with all your needs.

I was joking.

I was joking.

But seriously. Oregon Trail is still awesome.

Ended up going with what I was kicking around inititally, this ASUS Republic of Gaming one:

It's a beast, and way wider than my VAIO was, but weirdly not much heavier. One thing I'll say: it's going to take quite an adjustment on my part to get used to having a laptop keyboard with a number pad.

EDIT - also, similarly to when I got my Vaio and it had Vista -- am I the only one that doesn't hate Windows 8? To be fair I haven't kept up with it much so maybe it's a lot better now, but I remember its release being met with a tepid reaction at best. I think it's fine and in some ways kind of cool.

let me know some benchmarks on some games. I am curious.

We could also just bite the bullet and become Steam friends

But either way, if I get the chance to post more regularly, I will definitely drop some info. Right now the thing is probably still downloading a bunch of the shit from Steam that I had bought in sales that didn't really ever work that well on my old PC.

I think I'm going to buy Shadowrun and maybe even Mercenary Kings tonight as well. Both QL's intrigued me immensely (and I loved the SNES Shadowrun game). Obviously not graphical powerhouses, but hey, they were newer games that I wanted to play that became pretty hard to do so with a montior that only stays lit for 10 minutes at a time.
