    I just got lucky on a defense mission and made an attacking Discoverer Raider bail. Sold it for 65000 credits (my net worth was 1000) and treated my Buster to some engine tuning, a shiny scanner and...

    I've been playing with X3: Albion Prelude, which just arrived on Linux.

    I'd like to know, too. I absolutely loved the original Settlers but didn't get round to playing Settlers 2, but heard good things about it.

    I enjoyed the setting of Honest Hearts. The story was somewhat bland, but exploring a national park was quite a lot of fun.

    Old World Blues crashed on load for me (probably one of my mods) so I...

    Holy moly. The 840 Pro is a quality drive.

    If I still lived in the UK I'd be buying several of those.

    I dropped the difficulty from Hard to Easy on the last fight.

    I was doing pretty well on Hard but then the designers decided to break the cardinal sin of FPS at the last minute: endlessly...

    Couldn't wait for the weekend to try Bioshock Infinite, after hearing the positive reviews.

    I've barely started the game but I'm already blown away by the visuals. The detail is immense. I have a...

    That's... comprehensive!

    Only thing I can add is I still get a lot of mileage out of the FXAA Injector (works with Skyrim, FO:NV, among other games) instead of the ENB Shaders. It's a little...

    I just upgraded to a GTX 670 (holy balls, maxed out modded Skryim is smooth) and got a free code for $50 in-game currency in each of Planetside 2, World of Tanks and Hawken.

    I gave The Witcher 2 a shot, but became about as bored with it as the first game. That's probably some sort of cardinal sin around here, so forgive my poor taste.

    At least be sure to play up to Kick The Hornet's Nest, or you're missing out on one of the best missions to feature in a game.

    That Steam Bioshock Infinite preorder deal looks like it'll never reach the XCom unlock. It shifted all of 2% in the second tier today.

    The DLC unlocks everything for free. There isn't an easy way to turn it off without messing with the game files.


    Still one of my all-time favorite adventures, despite its flaws.

    I finished Dishonored, which has been my go-to game for the past couple months. It's had enough praise already, so I'll just say that I enjoyed it.

    I backed DF Adventure and got a nice t-shirt and some entertaining videos from one of my old favorite developers.
