Steam: Shlong Johnson
PS3: Bengy81 (I think)
League of Legends: Cralthatway

Mostly nerd out on my computer, sometimes in GW2, sometimes LoL, whatevers, I will play anything.

So IRT Ticket to ride, I have the steam version, so add me if you want to get down. Also if you have the steam version you can use your account to play the browser based version, not sure if it registers the expansions or not.

What is the good settlers version on PC?
Also are any of the Carcassonne PC games anywhere near as good as the xbox one?

There's one of those white clamshell macbook 13-inchers floating around somewhere. The loving thing still works great but good god is that display atrocious. Screen tech has come a long way since 2007.

My surfing the internet on the couch computer is a 2008 model. It doesn't play nice with YouTube, and I can play all of 2 games on it, but I can't justify replacing it right now.

See I have a 2011 macbook air now which serves as my youtube/internet machine/ I'll be selling that off for a retina MBP once school starts up.

I really like macs as laptops but would never get them as a desktop. They're just too much of a locked-in experience.

I had/have an imac, I think a 2006, it was a pretty good computer, but yeah, I would never buy one again. When I built my pc I intentionally chose components that would let me dual boot OSX if I wanted. I haven't felt the need yet, but maybe it will keep me from making a $1500 mistake one of these days.
I love the laptops, I just don't think I can justify a laptop considering what I use it for. I mean I could buy an ipad and a copy of Office for my pc and come in half the cost of a new macbook. Plus I could play games on an ipad.

I had Civ II on my ps1 when I was in highschool. Turns used to take so long during end game that I would do one before school, come home for lunch and do another one, and do one again before I went to bed. That game was awesome.
I have Civ IV, it is pretty cool, scared to get too involved though, too easy to lose 5+ hours without thinking about it.

Aside from getting together a board game crew (Gotta get this setup, will be awesome)

Would love to setup a large DEFCON game, maybe even a slower paced one with alliances and poo poo, or just straight up nuke mayhem skirmish. Either way I'll host ventrillo.

And what is the final tally on people wanting to get a board game crew together and what day works best? I'm 100% flexible because my life is just retirment bucks and disability disney dolalrs now no work.

I am totally down with the defcon idea, game is a lot of fun and its sad nobody plays it anymore.
Frozen Synapse would also be a good game to do something with, maybe a league? Dunno, I am pretty terrible at it tbh.

I could do board game crew on most weeknights, but honestly I am limited to just pc, no xbox.

I have less than 10 hours into it, I can't justify the time commitment to learn two moba's, so LoL wins, just because I already have so much invested into it.
To be fair, dota II has a lot of potential, the seasonal maps they made were pretty good IMO, so hopefully Valve can make some really good modes that get away from standard 5v5, or are at least a little more casual friendly.

Hey, if any of you dipshits don't own it already, you can get DEFCON for $2.49 right now, or for $4.99 you can get the introversion complete pack (both on steam), which comes with some pretty good games, and their soundtracks if you care about that sort of thing.

I like me1, but I played it on a deployment, so its not like I had anything better to do. Endgame was kind of cool though when your weapons were so overpowered.
I'm slowly working my way through 2, I think I might be about 6-7 hours in, and it seems ok so far. Not a big fan of 3rd person cover shooters, but the combat is better than the first one. Bummed at how lame the citadel is, I thought the best part of 1 was exploring the citadel. I heard me3 isn't terrible when you play it with all the dlc.

Turns out that not playing PS2 for three weeks and playing Skyrim and other unrelated games makes me pretty terrible when I try to hop back in to PS2.

Thats pretty much any twitch reflex competitive game. I played a round of LoL today for the first time in a month, and it was miserable. I wish I had the free time to poopsock games like I used to.

Only played enough to beat the first boss before the first town before the game kicked me, but so far, POE seems pretty cool. I didn't get a chance to explore the social features, but give me an add if there is a friends list feature.

Path of Exile is better than D3, sorry.

I downloaded it, started playing it, and it didn't get its hooks into me, I haven't really given it a fair shot. I like Akaneiro Demon Hunters, but I am a terrible person.

I don't think d3 is a great game, but its kind of relaxing, and I like the new recipes and stuff.

Started another run of Jagged Alliance 2. I don't know how many hours I have to throw away a year on this game, but goddamn is it good.

D3 was pretty hosed up at release, more than I expected. But they've consistently shown with these patches that they actually give a poo poo so thats better than most imo

Wait a minute... People actually take airsoft seriously? Like they have matches and stuff? I am so confused right now.

To hopefully not derail the gently caress out of this thread, amazon has a good deal on Ticket to ride right now. You can buy the base game and 4 expansions for 6 and change. It would probably make a good game for GIP game night or something, the game is pretty solid, has a lot of people playing at any given time, and you can play it through steam or your web browser, possibly even your idevice, but I haven't tried that yet. .

Here is a link to the deal: Suck my nuts

I'm trying to purchase Bioshock Infinite through GMG, but that site is being dumb. I'm not sure why I want the game, not big into the Bioshock lore, but it looks so pretty. ;-*

I started up Bioshock just to do the opening sequence. Two hours later, game is pretty cool. Need to go to bed now, but I plan on powering through the game this week hopefully. Might be the first AAA game I have beaten in god knows how long. The melee weapon thing is pretty cool.
